Trial of Jane Leigh Perrot.
About half past Seven o’Clock, the Priſoner, attended by a number of Ladies, walked from their Lodgings at the London-Inn, in two or three different Parties, to the Aſſize Hall, where they waited in the anti-room to the Grand Jury Room, till the Judge came, about Eight o’Clock. She then went into the Priſoners Pen, accompanied by her Huſband and ſeveral ladies. Mrs. Leigh Perrot appeared very pale and emaciated, between 50 and 60 Years of Age. She was dreſſed in a very light lead-colour Peliſſe, a Muſlin Handkerchief on her Neck, with a Cambric Cravat; her hair of a dark brown, curled on her Forehead; a ſmall black bonnet, round which was a purple ribbon, and over it a black lace veil, which was thrown up over her head; while the Jury was called and ſworn, ſhe appeared perfectly calm and collected, converſing with her Counſel and Friends.——The Indictment conſiſted of four Counts, varying the owner of the Property charged to have been ſtolen. Her Counsel requeſted ſhe might be allowed a chair, which was granted.
