Convict Notes
John Smith, alias Welch, Joseph Dewick, and woman calling herself Ann Smith, were also committed to the …. gaol yesterday, charged with robbing Daniel Preston of Thurlaston, on the Narborough toad, on Saturday night last, of his watch, two nutmegs, six laces, and some halfpence. It seems that when Preston had reached the second mile stone on the above road, he met two men, who who after passing him a short distance, turned again and pursued him. Not liking their appearance, he endeavoured to evade running, but they overtook him just lie arrived at the end of the road leading for Enderby, when one of them seizing him behind by the arms, the other robbed him the articles above mentioned, and then him. Preston swore positively to Smith, one of the persons ... said he believed Dewick to be the other. The woman was apprehended of having pawned Preston’s watch on the night of the robbery, and afterwards sold the ticket to person named Maslin, who on going to redeem the watch, was detained by Mr. Carryer, till he told from whom he obtained it. This led to the three prisoners, who have thus been committed to take their trial for the offence, at the next assizes. ... Leicester Chronicle, 31 Dec 1825. Leicester Assizes. Jno. Smith, Jos.
