Excerpt from The Newgate Calendar, Improved, Vol. 2: Being Interesting Memoirs of Notorious Characters, Who Have Been Convicted of Offences, Against the Laws of England, During the Seventeenth Century, and Continued to the Present Time, Chronologically Arranged Jenny being seated between two elderly ladies, each of whom had a gold watch by her side, she conducted herself with great seeming devotion; but when the service was nearly concluded, she seized the Opportunity, when the ladies were standing up, of stealing their watches, which She delivered to an accomplice in an adjoining pew. The devotions being ended, the congregation were preparing to depart, when the ladies discovered their loss, and a violent clamour ensued: one of the injured parties exclaimed, that her watch must have been taken either by the devil or the pregnant woman; on which the other said, she could vindicate the pregnant lady, whose hands, she was sure, had not been removed from her lap during the whole time of her being in the pew.
