Convict Notes
William Flockhart and Peter Love, for theft; Mary Charleton, or Fiood, for reset of theft; … have been indicted to stand trial. Caledonian Mercury, 12 Nov 1825. High Court of Justiciary. William Flockhart and Peter Love, two boys, were next placed at the bar, charged with stealing a japanned knife tray, containing a quantity of plate, from a press in the lobby of the house of Mr Moffat, solicitor, in Brown's Square; they were also habit and repute thieves. Mary Charlton or Flood stood charged in the same indictment with the crime of reset. The boys pleaded Not Guilty, and the woman's reply was, that she did not know what was in the bundle.- A number of witnesses were examined, which established the guilt of the youths, and the charge of reset against Charlton was satisfactorily made out to the minds of the Jury, by circumstantial proof, who, without leaving the box, found all three Guilty. The LORD ADVOCATE restricted the libel, and the Court sentenced them all to be transported to fourteen years. Caledonian Mercury, 24 Nov 1825. The National Archives. Hulk Records.
