Deposition of William Gibbins of Milton Ernest, common brewer- Richard Bradshaw of Milton Ernest charged with embezzling monies, goods and chattels

29 October 1839

From: 1839 To: 1840

Richard Bradshaw has been employed as foreman at his brewery for over 4 years and is trusted to take orders, send out beer and receive money. He has been in the habit of taking his accounts from Bradshaw and entering him in his Memorandum Book (now produced). He generally enters in the book at least once a day, though occasionally 2 or 3 days together as on last Saturday. During the last month there has been no account of beer sold to Mrs Hulatt of Felmersham or to Mr John Abbott, a miller of Milton, and he has not received any money from Bradshaw on their account during that period.
