Trial of Jane Leigh Perrot, at Taunton Assizes, on Saturday the 29th day of March, 1800; charged with stealing a card of lace, in the shop of Elizabeth Gregory, haberdasher & milliner, of the city of Bath

A printed transcript presents courtroom proceedings from an assize hearing in which a woman is accused of taking a card of lace from a milliner’s shop. The pamphlet records opening statements, names of counsel and jurors, the defendant’s appearance, and detailed witness examinations describing the shop layout, the sale and payment, and the discovery of a white lace card in a parcel of black lace. Testimony and cross‑examination concentrate on whether the lace was mistakenly wrapped by the shopman or deliberately removed, and on the subsequent procedural steps taken with local magistrates.
