22 November 1839

She lost some fowls on the night of 11th November. On the following Friday she saw one of the fowls she lost at Mr Eyles in Church Street. This morning she saw 3 fowls at Booth the constable's which she has no doubt were hers. The first fowl now produced she had marked on the Monday to kill on the Tuesday. She also marked another to kill on Tuesday which she has not seen since. She saw one of the fowls in the yard the following day with an injury in its neck, which had got away as they were in the act of killing or taking it.
