Convicted Dec. 1815 at Middlesex sessions Old Bailey. Die sinker William Bagnall, the elder, William Bagnall, the younger, and Thomas Bagnall, a father and his two sons, were placed at the bar, and tried under the act of the 42d of the King, for coining and counterfeiting certain silver pieces, resembling the dollars issued by the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. The jury, after a few minutes consideration, found all the prisoners guilty; but recommended the two sons, one of whom is 26, and the other 18 years of age, to pardon, as acting under paternal influence. Sentence: 14 years transportation. The National archives show that; The 2 sons were later pardoned by John Silvester, Recorder of London in 1816. Grounds for clemency: the jury recommended mercy at the trial of the prisoners, both of previous good conduct and the distress of the prisoner's families, especially Thomas who has a pregnant wife and 2 children now near starvation. The name Bagnell in the ships register is, I believe, just a mistake for Bagnall.
