At hearing the speech and voice of Louis le Riche's slave, he told the slave that after encountering the animals on the path, he had driven them back to his master's house, and that the slave could go there too instead of looking further for those celebrations. The slave then left him and went his way. When the deponent and the wife of the aforementioned innkeeper came into the house, he heard the wife ask her husband why he hadn't closed the house window and the duck pen door the evening before. The innkeeper answered his wife that he himself had closed both the previous evening. After the innkeeper lit the candle, the deponent heard from the innkeeper's mouth that most of his goods had been stolen, which the deponent also served the next day. The innkeeper's wife came into the house with a stocking, a child's jacket, and a bottle, which she said she found in the bushes.
