Convict Notes
James Buckley and James Cavannah, two soldiers, for stopping Mr. John Riddle on the Military road, Chatham, about ten clock on the night Monday week, and robbing him of his hat, coat and great coat: this was one the most daring outrages which have been effected that neighbourhood for some time past; the moon was shining brightly at the time of the robbery and persons were walking the road and Globe lane, which runs parallel to, and in sight of it, at the time the transaction. The offenders are soldiers who were to have marched on Tuesday morning to embark for India, but immediate notice having been given at the Barracks, Colonel Christie and Major Holland, with the promptness and decision which ever mark their conduct when applied to for assistance by the inhabitants, instantly came out with a picquet, and fortunately succeeded in taking one the thieves, Cavannah, with the stolen property in his possession—the other prisoner, Buckley, eluded their search that night, and marched the morning Gravesend, where he was embarked, but from whence was brought an order from Colonel Christie, and was fully identified as one of the aggressors.
