Deposition of Jane Neale of Keysoe, servant, against Eli Child and Robert Twelvetree of Newton Bromshold (Northants)

22 November 1842

From: 1842 To: 1843

She is housemaid to Revd William Airey, vicar of Keysoe. On Wednesday 2 November there was a fire on the premises of Mrs Browning of Keysoe. She was asked to take some waterpails belonging to her master for use at the fire. Before they were taken she heated the poker and marked the pails at the bottom. She gave them to a man with instructions to take them to the fire and saw him take them into the crowd of persons there. She did not give the pails to either of the persons present. The pail produced is one of the the two she gave to the men. It is worth about half a crown.
