TitleDeposition: John Gibbins and Michael O'Brien. accused by Thomas Upchurch, butcher, Warbour of picking up a purse which he (Upchurch) had dropped in St. Ives from his frock coat and dividing the contents (£6.4.6d.) The prisoners, when tracked down, refunded most of the money and promised to repay the rest; but the prosecutor still charged them (a common occurrence). He also charged a woman who had seen the purse on the ground and had received £1.10.0d. of the prize from Gibbins, but she was discharged as the prosecutor had to admit agreeing to repayment by weekly instalments.
