Convict Notes
On Monday last was committed to prison, the Mayor of this city, John Bellamy, a notorious character, charged with robbing a poor Irish labourer, under the following circumstances, as related by the person robbed.—On Saturday night Bellamy met the Irishman, and asked him if he had got lodgings: the latter replying in the negative, Bellamy said, Come along with me and we'll sleep together. He then took him a little way out of the town, near the brick-yards, to a hay-stack, where they laid down and covered themselves with hay. When Bellamy found his, companion to be asleep, he put his hand upon his neck, and proceeded to pick his pocket: the pressure of the hand awoke the Irishman, and they had a scuffle, when Bellamy gave loud whistle, and threatened the other's life if he made resistance. The man then submitted in terror, and was robbed of his money, consisting of bank bills and cash to the amount of 8£. Bellamy purchased a smock-frock with part of the sum, and was afterwards secured with the other notes in his possession, which were identified by the Irishman. Stamford Mercury, 20 Sept 1822. —and John Bellamy, convicted of stealing from Jas. McMullam 8£ 4s. in bank notes, was sentenced to seven years' transportation.
