Convict Notes
Suffolk Summer Assizes. Wm. Barton was found guilty of burglariously stealing 6 quarts of beer from the cellar of Mr. Win. Wilson, innkeeper, of Hadleigh. He was seen by two young men watching to open a sliding shutter in the door, by drawing it back with wire put through a crevice, and proceeded directly to the cask and filled a wood bottle. The Judge informed him he would be sent out of the country for life, as it was evidently not his first time of going to the cask. Ipswich Journal, 30 July 1825. Yesterday (Tuesday) four convicts were removed from our Gaol to be put on board the Leviathan hulk, lying in Portsmouth harbour, namely, Wm. Barton, Thomas Cooper Firman, and Thomas Grimsey, to be transported for life; and Wm. Gill, for 14 years. Bury and Norwich Post, 7 Sept 1825.
