Convict Notes
Horse-stealing at Fleet. John Winkley, aged 22, and Edward Walker alias Edward Enderby, aged 34, were tried, on two separate indictments, for stealing a black pony, the property of Mr. Francis Savage, of Holbeach from a paddock in the occupation of his uncle, Mr. Seth Holliday, at Fleet; and also for stealing a black mare, the property of the Rev. Richard Dods, from his premises at Fleet, on the same night. Both these horses were ridden in the course of the night to Wainfleet where the prisoners appeared with them at the Woolpack inn by 8 o'clock the following morning. They afterwards rode them to -Nottingham, and spoke of having obtained them by purchase and exchanges; and subsequently the the pony was sold by Walker for 7/. to Mr. Henry Whitton, of Derby, by whom it was discovered that the pony had been stolen, and it was restored to Mr. Savage. The black mare also was discovered to belong to the Rev. R. Dods, and was returned to him. Walker was found guilty of stealing the pony, and and Winkley guilty of stealing the mare. Judgment of death was recorded against them. The Rev. R. Dods begged to recommend Winkley to mercy, his father being respectable parishioner of his, and a very honest man. Stamford Mercury, 12 Mar 1824.
