QSR1823/342
Title
Examinations and depositions. Information of Robert Rose, constable of Hitchin. He searched Carter 'and found in his pocket the keys and the crooked nails and other irons.' He made labels of parchment and paper and tied them round the necks of the pigeons, many of which flew straight back to Mr Foster's dovehouse and he recovered labels from the farmyard there. He tried the keys and nails found on Carter and could undo three of Mr Foster's wheat barns but not the dovehouse. Later he took George Prudden of Hitchen, whitesmith, who unlocked the dovehouse door with a crooked nail without difficulty.
