Convict Notes
Essex Spring Assizes, Chelmsford. SHOP-LIFTING Mary Fisher, Elizabeth Slater and Ann Wright were indicted for stealing on the 23d of December last at West Ham, ten yards of printed cotton the property of Mrs M’Guire privately in the shop. It appeared upon the evidence that the two prisoners, Wright and Fisher entered the shop of the prosecutrix in the afternoon of the day in question and asked to look at some gown pieces the prisoner Slater remained just at the door They looked over many pieces staid a long-time and gave much trouble but made no purchase. When they left the shop they were joined by Slater and they all went away together in a manner which excited suspicion and they were watched and after being traced some way were taken into custody when the property in question was found upon Slater the other prisoners being in her company. They were all taken back to the shop of the prosecutrix identified the property as her own as having been exhibited to the prisoners and afterwards missed and who also recognised Wright and Fisher having recently been in her shop The prisoners offered nothing in their defence and the Jury without hesitation found them all Guilty The Learned Judge in passing sentence upon the prisoners commented in strong terms upon the heinousness of the offence of which they had been convicted and declaring the necessity of protecting the property of retail shopkeepers from this abominable species of depredation sentenced them all to transported for the term of seven years. Essex and Herts Mercury, 18 Mar 1823.
