Ann Batson Convicted: London Gaol Delivery, Old Bailey, 18 July 1810 Crime: Grand larceny Age: 20 Sentence: 7 years Ann was a house servant who was convicted on two charges of theft. She stole 2 yards of lace, 2 ¾ yards of ribbon, a shawl, 2 yards of tape, a trill, 2 pieces of calico, 11 pieces of cloth, 4 caps and 2 half handkerchiefs from Sarah Moore and Jane Mordeace. She also stole two towels, six chains, ¼ yard of muslin, two handkerchiefs, an apron, a brush, a memorandum book and case, and a bonnet. John Robinson owned the Angel Inn at St Martins-le-Grand where Ann lived and worked and the latter items had belonged to his wife and to his gentlemen guests. Sarah and Jane were fellow servants. Ann had taken the goods to a laundrywoman and most of them were recovered there. A bid was made in court for clemency on the grounds of good character and her youth, and the fact that this was a first offence. The Judge recommended no mercy. http://friendsconvictship.com/convict-women/
