William Neal: kept the Nags Head at Chawson. On 20 July, Uriah Savage came into the house and stayed all night. The accused came in later and was seen missing for about half an hour. The next day a tub of grease was missing from Savage's cart. James Wayman: Hull asked him what was in the cart, and Wayman told him tubs of grease. Later that evening, he saw the accused becoming back from a field and he was close by the cart. Next day the grease was missed. Wayman went with Mr Neal and found 2 tubs of grease in the wheat field where he had previously seen the accused. Peter Addington: on 21 July he passed Jacob Hull, hoeing turnips in a field. Hull asked him if he wanted to buy a tub of grease as he had found one coming to work that morning.
