Convict Notes
Jacob Ladbrook and Ralph Bond, two soldiers, were convicted, on their own confession, and the evidence of John Ratcliffe, an accomplice, of having broken into the dwelling house of Mrs. Mary Jacobs, of Stanway, in the day time, she being absent at Colchester, and stealing divers articles of wearing apparel therein. It appeared that the attention of the prisoners was first attracted to the spot by the apples on a tree, and illegally tasting the forbidden fruit, it led them into further mischiefs. Bond smashed the door open, Ladbrook took the articles, and Ratcliffe stood watch. They sentenced to death, but were reprieved. Star (London) 25 Aug 1810.
