Convict Notes
JOHN CLARKE. I live at Acton, and am a carman . On the 22nd of December, about eleven o'clock in the morning, I came to London - I had 6s. in a canvas bag in my pocket; about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon my cart stood in Newgate-street, for about five minutes, as I was waiting there for my master; the prisoner-(Samuel Beaman) came and said the cart should go on - I said I was only waiting a few minutes for my master; he moved the cart himself - I took it round into Newgate-market, and came back to wait in Newgate-street for my master; the prisoner took me to the Compter - I do not know what for, unless it was for leaving my cart in the street; he gave me no reason - when I got to the Compter they threw me down, and some knelt on me, and the rest took my money; five or six persons got me in there - the prisoner was one of them - he was the first who was the occasion of taking me; and when he began to shove me about, to push the cart on, I told him not to shove me about, because I had property about me; when I got to the Compter, they threw me down, and took my money: the prisoner was present - I cannot say how many persons there were; I had not a chance to look up; I resisted their taking me in - they kept me from Saturday about half-past three o'clock, until eleven o'clock on Monday; I had not been there five minutes before I missed my money - I did not make any complaint of it - the prisoner was present when I said they took my money; he said nothing - I was taken before the Alderman on Monday; I complained of having lost my money - it was late before the Alderman about my leaving my cart standing in the street; I mentioned about my money being taken from me, and charged the prisoner with being one of them - my canvas bag was produced before the Alderman; the prisoner was there that day - the money was all in the bag when it was produced.
Samuel's convict indent says he was a coachman/carman - but if you read the Old Bailey records he was a policeman and was sentenced for robbing a coachman/carman - I cannot find an option to put his occupation as policeman and had already put coachman before I read the Old Bailey transcription
