Convict Notes
Native place, Thaxted, Essex
The Cornells, Everitts, Cooper, and James Halls, who had previously pleaded guilty to another burglary in the house of Mr. Clarance, at Thaxted, were then put up to receive sentence. His Lordship said he had no doubt they had been engaged in nightly depredations which had placed the lives and property of their neighbours in danger, and he thought the person who had been most active was William Everitt, and there was no doubt he would be transported for life ; the punishment would be accompanied by the most horrible terrors ; and he hoped it would be a warning to persons pursuing such a course of life, and show them how they might be betrayed by those, whom they had seduced into habits of plunder, to that justice which they had so often escaped. The would all leave the country, but some difference would be made in the severity of their several punishments. Essex Standard, 21 July 1837.
At the Chelmsford Assizes John Cornell, William Everilt, sen. William Everitt, jun., Henry Cornell, William Cornell, and Christopher Cooper, were all found guilty of a burglary committed at the house of Samuel Barnard, of Thaxted, on the night of the 13th of January. Globe, 21 July 1837.
