Convict Notes
Saturday last three young men from London, named Henry Redman, David Smith, and Robert Berry, called at the Turnpike-house at St. John's, hear Bungay, to buy oranges.

The money being missed about half an hour after, information was given to the Police-officers, who immediately pursued and apprehended the thieves within the Cross-roads in Denton, 6 miles from St. John's.
