Sarah, Negro, sworn. Smith, Wrotten, and Grumble, came in to the widow Nowels and asked her and Sally Stable who I belonged to, and said I had stole linen and they would take me before Squire Laws, they tied me and carried me to Vienna that night — which time the Attorney General admits was the time of taking, therefore the witness was discharged as incompetent.
