I am the wife of Thomas Stephen Weston , we live in Great Aliff-street, Whitechapel . On the 30th of March, about seven o'clock in the evening, the prisoner came to look at some apartments I had to let, she said they were for a gentleman in the Bank. As she came down stairs she asked for my name and address, I asked her into my sitting-room to write it. She kept talking to my little boy, and said she would call again next morning at ten o'clock. As she was leaving the room she drew near the fire-place, and I heard the chain to the watch jingle - I immediately missed it off the shelf, and charged her with it, she made no answer, and held up her right-hand, I saw the chain hanging out. I sent for my husband, who came and took the watch out of her hand. (Property produced and sworn to.) Prisoner's Defence. I never touched it. THOMAS STEPHEN WESTON . My wife sent for me.

SURGEON’S JOURNAL OF HIS MAJESTY’S FEMALE CONVICT SHIP MARY ANN 1822 MR JAMES HALL(2) SURGEON SUPERINTENDENT BETWEEN 27th OCTOBER 1821 and 23rd MAY 1822 108 convicts departed Portsmouth England on 25 December 1821 via Rio De Janeiro & arriving at Hobart Town VDL on 2nd May 1822 (45 women disembarked) and arriving at Port Jackson, New South Wales on 20th May 1822 (62 women disembarked) (1 woman died at sea) ADM 101/52/1 https://www.femaleconvicts.org.au/docs/ships/SurgeonsJournal_MaryAnn_1822.pdf Mary Beldon. 19 April. This woman has for many months been in an infirm state of health, having obscure internal disease, which she attributes to the presence of a pin which she accidentally swallowed. A tumour deeply seated seems to have formed near the spleen - a small fluctuous tumour exists in the inferior part of the sternum; and one in the left orbit. 21 April – For several weeks there has been forming under the integuments of the forehead a smooth undulating tumour, not attended and redness, & seeming to cause pain by the distension of the parts. The swelling commenced above the left eyebrow, & it has slowly extended to the opposite one, and down to the eyelid of the left side, here the fluid gravitating has closed the eye, & by the pressure has caused for itself an opening by ulcerating the eyelid; & an adhesive fluid is poured out. As a dull pain is felt at the bottom of the left orbit, I fancy that a tumour exists there. From the appearance of the ulcerated orifice, the edges being everted that this & the other tumour are of a constitutional & perhaps malignant nature. Her functions; vital & natural, are not disturbed. Fresh diet has been long given to her. Van Diemen’s Land. 4th May. Beldon and Hulley - These women being in an infirm state of health, and advancing daily in debility. I have landed them at this place. The derangement of mind in the one case continued before; and in the other case the internal tumour causes an increasing uneasiness. [Mary Beldon died on 21 March 1823 and Keziah Hulley on 11 June 1822].
