Examinations and depositions: examination of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Eyte, Eaton Socon. 'about five o'clock in the morning she thought from the barking of the dogs someone had come into the house & got out of bed & called out & heard no answer ... she stopped at the window to watch if anyone went away, her husband's house is moted round, no-one could go away except over a foot boarded bridge or through the mote'. She saw William Moulds go over the bridge with a bundle under his arm, she called her husband who was on a haystack and Jack, her horsekeeper to stop him, which they eventually did.
Examination of Thomas Eyte. He took William Moulds by the collar and asked him what he had in his bundle but on being told 'Nothing belonging to him' he took it and spread the contents on the grass. All articles discovered belonged to his horsekeeper John Baxter.
