Jane Cronkleton travelled to the market on Jasper Young's cart this morning and is going to the market today to buy materials for the household such as linen, etc.
Jane is a housemaid with a large family called the Bensons of Chollerton she is 20 years old and is a highly trusted servant having worked for her employer for 10 years. In that time she has worked herself up to a trusted position within the household. She wanted to go to the market and do what she had to do and get back.
It is not her intention to get involved in the protest because her employers were loyal to the Government establishment and it would have put her position at risk.
Jane doesn’t want any trouble. She is aware of the protest and the feelings against the militia but she doesn’t want to get involved. She looks down on anyone getting involved in such things.
