About the middle of October last past one Richard Whall of St George of Colegate parish... twisterer being an acquaintance of the informant's, and she going to work with Richard Whall as at other times, Whall did by one Rebecca Stilyard desire the informant to go with him to one John Lane's alehousekeeper in Conisford Street to drink, which they did and after some time of drinking Richard Whall went home with the informant to her house in the parish aforesaid, she having drank too much. And after a little time Whall did blow out the candle and said he would have the carnal knowledge of her body, and after some resistance the informant did yield to him and he had the carnal knowledge of her body and several times since upon the bed in her house. And she further saith that she is about six and twenty weeks gone with child by him the said Richard Whall. And that no man since the middle of October last past had the carnal knowledge of her body but Richard Whall.
