Convict Notes
SURREY SESSIONS. On Monday last these sessions commenced ... Three well known characters (young men), named Calcomb, Bateridge, and Harseington, were indicted for robbing a poor man of five half crowns. It appeared, that at a very early hour on the morning of the. 5th of May, the three prisoners fell in with the prosecutor, John Bartlett, who was reeling home with what remained of his week's wages. The prisoners perceiving him from his pace, to be an easy prey, led him into a narrow lane, where being, as they thought, unobserved, they proceeded, deliberately to examine prosecutor's pockets, and cut away the breast pocket, containing the five half crowns, knocked him down on the ground senseless, and they ran away. The transaction had been seen by an individual who pursued the robbers, and, with assistance, apprehended Calcombe and Bateridge in St. James's Park. The other prisoner was taken a few days after. The Jury found all the prisoners guilty, and the Chairman observing, that they were unfit to live in this country, sentenced them to be transported for life. The prisoners— And is that all ? —Can you give us no more?— They behaved with the utmost insolence, and satisfied every one of the propriety of the sentences British Neptune, 10 June 1822.
