On 24.4.1790 Elizabeth Brown was a witness at the trial of John Lott and Isabella Williams. She kept a lodging house in Castle St Marylebone and the defendants had lodged in her house for a fortnight when she found some items down the toilet which were said to have been taken from the Globe Inn in Pall Mall kept by Robert Hayday, where the defendants had been customers two days before. The case was dismissed for lack of evidence. A very strange case, possibly an attempt to frame? 11 Berners St was not in Castle Street East but next door to No 10, which was also In Harris's List in 1790. No Browns in Land Tax for Castle Street East or West other than Catherine & Edward at 4, 6 & 7 Castle St East, but Elizabeth the lodging-house keeper might have been the wife of Edward Brown at No 6. An Elizabeth Brown widow was insured SunFire 20.8.1790 at 76 Great Portland St
