Extract from the Gazette, 1735
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, March 27, 1735.

Saturday Night last a House in Strawberry-Alley was broke open, and about 10 Pounds in Money, and some other odd Things taken out of a little Trunk that was lock’d up in a Chest: Three Servants belonging to different Masters being missing next day, were suspected of the Theft, and being taken at Byberry and brought to Town, they confess’d the Fact, and are now confin’d in Goal in order to a Tryal. One of them is a Lad about 18 Years of Age. The Money belong’d to some poor People, who had been some Years getting it together, in order to put themselves into some better Way of Business.
