Member of the Brentwood Gang Desperate Gang of Thieves and Receivers Last week a lengthened and final examination of a desperate gang of thieves and receivers of stolen property took place at the House of Correction, Ilford (Essex) before William Davis, a magistrate for the County. The names of the gang who have for some time infested Brentwood and its neighbourhood are BALLARD, MINGAY, CRACKNELL, JOHN & WILLIAM SHIPMAN for stealing, and JAMES TURVEY and SAMUEL RUSH for receiving96 pieces of print (cloth) of the volume of ….. the property of Mr. Knight a draper of Colchester. It appeared that on the night of Saturday the ……. month, a bale containing the above property had been delivered to a Colchester wagoner at the warehouse of Messer Swan & Co., Friday Street, …… to be conveyed to Mr. Knight at Colchester. The wagoner on his way stopped for some time at the White Hart Inn at Brentwood to have some victuals. While there the bale of goods was taken from the wagon. On the following night Otten and Weston of the Bow Street Patrol stopped a cart at Chadwell Heath on its way to town (London) and on examining it they found the whole of the property which had been taken in two sacks. They, the officers, then took TURVEY, to whom the cart belonged and RUSH, a boy, into custody. The offence was admitted by RUSH and from his statement it seemed that this property had been received by his master. TURVEY & RUSH had been at the Horse & Groom Inn, Warley Common and BALLARD assisted in putting it into the cart. The prisoners were seen together at Brentwood and frequently on their way across Warley Common before the officers succeeded in apprehending them. …… of the prisoners who are known about some …… be implicated in several bands and the …… whom have been before tried for various offences and are now fully committed for trial.
