Convict Notes
Old Bailey Online 1080. THOMAS BUTLER , JOHN CLARK , and WILLIAM JONES were indicted for stealing, on the 5th of June , 40 lbs. of pork, value 20 s. , the property of William Summerlin . WILLIAM SUMMERLIN . I am a butcher , and live in Fitzroy-market - the pork hung outside my shop. I went out about nine o'clock at night, returned about ten, and found it stolen. I found a hind-quarter at the watch-house. About one o'clock in the morning the watchman sent me into the fields, where I found some more of it under a brick-stack; the prisoner, Jones, was asleep with his head on it. I knew the pork by a particular bruise on it. JOHN BALTUTT . I am servant to the prosecutor; I was left in care of the shop. A side of pork was stolen; I saw the prisoners at the office next day with it. I knew it by a mark down the back. JOHN PIZZY . I am a watchman in New-road, near Market-street. About half-past ten o'clock, the prosecutor informed me that his pork was stolen. Between one and two o'clock in the morning, I saw Clark and Butler near the Orange Tree, public-house - they passed me; I followed, and secured them both. Butler had a quarter of pork concealed under his coat. I asked them what they had got? Butler said it was meat, which they had given them in Smithfield - Clark said he was by at the time. I took them to the watch-house, and informed the prosecutor. He claimed it. WILLIAM NOTT . I am watchman of Somers'-town, opposite to the Orange Tree, public-house. Between three and four o'clock in the morning, the prosecutor gave Jones into my custody in the brick-field, where he was concealed under some straw, asleep. The pork was near his head. GEORGE SQUIBB . The prisoners were brought to the watch-house with the pork. Another piece was brought in which exactly fitted. The bruise matched. BUTLER'S Defence. I found it in the fields. JONES'S Defence. I was intoxicated, and laid down in the fields. BUTLER - GUILTY . Aged 23. CLARK - GUILTY . Aged 25 JONES - GUILTY . Aged 19. Transported for Seven Years . First Middlesex Jury, before Mr. Common Sergeant.
