Convict Notes
Joachim Boaz and Moses Rochatz were tried and convicted together. They had gone to fabric wholesalers and while one kept staff talking the other attempted to take lightweight fabrics and hide them in his clothing.There were two trials: one for the attempted theft of twelve yards of muslin valued at £30, the other for the attempted theft of seven pieces of cambric valued at £15. (The reference to a Manchester warehouse is because Manchester was associated with weaving fine fabrics. The premises were in London.) Both Boaz and Rochatz were given death sentences later respite to transportation. The Digital Panopticon page for Boaz is https://www.digitalpanopticon.org/life?id=obpt18140706-25-defend228 This gives a reference to a Home Office file on the respite of his sentence, though I haven't been able to find it from the reference given. Boaz was 28 and claimed in Court that he was a recent immigrant who had not come to Britain to steal. (Proceedings of the Old Bailey date for both trials 6 July 1814. Note the Proceedings is not a verbatim record and tends to abbreviate prisoner's defence statements.)
