Title(1) Deposition: William Flint, Eversholt, Beds, dealer in calves, deposed that he had spent a night at the Golden Ball, St. Neots, (kept by Joseph Allison); in another bed was Edward Alfred Baker. In the morning deponent found his silver watch and a sovereign and half sovereign was missing. Baker was suspected but nothing was found on him. Thomas Dodson, Needingworth, labourer, states that he had later changed half a sovereign for Baker. Matthew Edis Maile, turnkey, Gt. Stukeley, County Gaol, George Smith, Keeper, George James, baker and miller at the gaol, deposed that Baker, being brought in and searched, had swallowed what was presumably the sovereign. The prisoner received permission to write to Mr. Flint offering to help him to recover the watch (since it was Mr. Flint's father's!) and was allowed a private interview (not on a Sunday - gaol rules) with his prosecutor. (2) Presentment: Edward Alfred Baker of St. Neots.
