Convict Notes
The house of Miss Grove, of Mere, Wilts, was on Wednesday night burglariously entered and robbed of a considerable quantity of plate. On the discovery of the robbery in the morning, an alarm was given, and three spirited gentlemen of that neighbourhood, of the name of White, started on horse- back in pursuit of the robbers, and at about a mile from Frome in their way to Bath, secured them with their whole booty (about 20lb) beaten flat, and concealed under their dresses. The thieves were conveyed to the nearest Magistrate for Wilts, by whom they were fully committed for trial. Their names are George Woodman, of Trowbridge, and George Clayton, of North Bradley; both had just finished an imprisonment in Devizes bridewell (Woodman only on the Monday preceding!), where, it appears, the plan for this robbery was arranged. Oxford Journal, 20 March 1824. The following prisoners, 14 in number, .. were removed on Tuesday last from Fisherton Gaol, to the Leviathan convict ship in Portsmouth harbour: Wm. North, … George Woodman, Clayton, … Salisbury and Winchester Journal, 7 June 1824.
