Convict Notes
Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 8.0, 10 January 2021), May 1814, trial of JOHN NICHOLAS BROWN (t18140525-50). JOHN NICHOLAS BROWN, Theft > embezzlement, 25th May 1814. 509. JOHN NICHOLAS BROWN was indicted for that he, on the 26th of April , was servant to Thomas Groves , and was employed and entrusted by him to receive money for him, and that being such servant, so employed and entrusted, did receive and take into his possession the sum of 33 l. 9 s. 9 d. and that he afterwards did secrete and steal 15 l. 9 s. 9 d. part of the said sum . SECOND COUNT, for secreting the said sum, stating that he received it of Ann Goodall , widow. THOMAS GROVES . I am a fishmonger at Charing-cross . Brown is a servant of mine; he has lived with me about two years. I entrusted him to receive money for me, by giving him the receipts before the money was paid. I charge him with embezzling money of customers. Q. Who is the customer - A. Philip Metcalfe , esq. 32, Berkley-square; he was indebted to me thirty-three pounds nine shillings and nine pence; the prisoner accompted eighteen pounds of that; there remained fifteen pounds nine shillings and nine pence. ANN GOODALL . I am housekeeper to Philip Metcalfe , esq. I always paid my bills once a fortnight, by my master's desire. I paid him thirty-three pounds nine shillings and nine pence, except three shillings and ten pence which I have paid to Mr. Groves since. I am sure I paid the prisoner that money; he gave me these receipts, and that is the money I really paid him. Prisoner's Defence. I fell into this error through fear of being arrested, and my wife was near her lying-in. I wish I had been taken for debt, instead of being brought here as a culprit. At Bow-street, Mr. Groves said I paid him eighteen pounds eight shillings and four pence; at all events, there is nine shilling to deduct that I paid to Mrs. Goodall for poundage GUILTY , aged 38. Transported for Seven Years . Second Middlesex jury, before Mr. Recorder.
