Convict Notes
Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 8.0, 28 December 2021), June 1826, trial of MARY GANNON ELEANOR COLLINS (t18260622-172). MARY GANNON, ELEANOR COLLINS, Theft > shoplifting, 22nd June 1826. 1249. MARY GANNON and ELEANOR COLLINS were indicted for stealing, on the 22d of May , 28 yards of printed cotton, value 1l. 9s., the goods of William Ashdown , privately in his shop . WILLIAM ASHDOWN. I am a linen-draper , and live in the Commercial-road . The two prisoners came together to my shop between seven and eight o'clock in the evening of the 22d of May; they appeared to be friends - they wanted to look at some prints, which my young man showed them - they bought a yard and a half of one; their conduct excited my suspicion, but I did not see them take anything. Soon after they left I went out, and met my young man returning with them, and one of the prints which had been shown them. THOMAS WILLIAMS . I am the shopman. A young man, who is not here, served the prisoners; I was opposite to them, on the other side of the counter; they bought a yard and a half of print, and paid Mr. Ashdown for it; they then went out - I followed them about twenty yards from the shop, then went up to them, and saw part of the print hanging down under the dress of Collins; I said,"You have got some print out of the shop;" she denied it, but I insisted she should return, which she did, and in coming back she dropped it; I took it up - there were twenty-eight yards of it; the piece they bought was found on them. GANNON'S Defence. That person is telling a great falsity; he did not take it from her at all. I went to buy a bit of print; we had taken the print to the door to look at the colour, as it was rather dark; he came and said we were going to steal some. GANNON - GUILTY. Aged 22. COLLINS - GUILTY. Aged 24. Of stealing only . - Transported for Seven Years .
