Deposition of John Stanbridge of Eggington, labourer - David Baker

6 August 1842

From: 1842 To: 1842

He was employed by Claridge last May. He remembers being in the yard throwing up the dung. There were 6 of them, including David Baker. He remembers David Baker saying "I've found ...". He saw that Baker had got in his hands something like a shoemaker's punch. He did not know what the thing was. Baker was then at work just under the hovel. It was just before they went for dinner. As they were going out of the yard the shepherd was coming towards the yard. He said to Baker "show them to the shepherd because you don't know whose they are". He went on and heard no more. He does not know what Baker did with them.
