Convict Notes
John Belville tried to pawn silver items marked as Royal property. They had been issued to Miss Burney who was one of the Queen's ladies. Belville had come to London as a gentleman's liveried servant but had then worked for a short time for Miss Burnley before losing his place. (He claimed to have been ill and periodically not right in his head.) He cooperated in the recovery of items and pleaded guilty in the hope of being allowed to return to his own country.
