When the guardians having examined the said Anne Evans, and also heard the testimony of three other female paupers called by the master to rebut the accusation of the said Anne Evans and also the masters wife who declared that the said Elinor James was not out of her sight at the time specified by the said Anne Evans - the said Anne Evans was asked if she had any further complaint to move against the master answered No and the other paupers having testified to her general ill conduct which compelled the master to keep her separate from the other paupers - and further testified to the proper demeanour of the said master Mr Edwards who is 64 years of age - the paupers were ordered to withdraw - When the guardians (9 present) unanimously declared their conviction that the said charges were false and that the said Anne Evans is a person unworthy of relief - who has been committed to gaol 4 times from the workhouse for refractory conduct, and was in gaol for 4 months for want of surities for threatening to set her neighbours house on fire. The guardians further concluded that any punishment in their power to inflict would be a farce ?????? that the said Anne Evans should be kept apart as much as possible from the rest of the paupers and carried before a magistrate for the first offence she may again commit."
