Convict Notes
Wm. White, and Mary Burrell alias Emily Ashley, widow, were charged with stealing three aprons from Mary Copsley, of Fleet, on the 14th of June. Mrs. Copsley left her house at seven o'clock in the morning, having secured the doors and windows. When she returned in the evening, she discovered that the window had been broke open, the lid of her box split, and several articles of wearing apparel stolen, including the three aprons mentioned in the indictment. The constable of Wisbech pursued prisoners to Walsoken, and apprehended them in a lodging-house there, having the stolen articles in her possession. When examined by the magistrates, the female prisoner said the man is not guilty,—he knows nothing of the robbery. I entered the house, broke open the box, and stole the articles. If I get loose, I will soon do something else, for I want to be transported. I was tried at Spalding 13 years ago, and found guilty of felony. Upon her trial she made no defence. As there was not the slightest evidence against the man, he was acquitted: the woman was found guilty. Evidence was then given that she had been previously convicted of felony, and she was sentenced to be transported for fourteen years. With the most unblushing effrontery she exclaimed “I am much obliged to you, Gentlemen: it is all you can do”. Stamford Mercury, 8 July 1831.
