Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 8.0, 11 March 2020), April 1823, trial of ANN NORRIS SOPHIA FRAZER (t18230409-29). ANN NORRIS, SOPHIA FRAZER, Violent Theft > robbery, 9th April 1823. Before Lord Chief Justice Abbott. 513. ANN NORRIS and SOPHIA FRAZER were indicted for feloniously assaulting George Borkett , on the 3d of March , at St. Mary, Whitechapel, putting him in fear, and taking from his person, and against his will, three half-crowns , his monies. GEORGE BORKETT . I work at the gun trade . On Monday, the 3d of March, between twelve and one o'clock in the day, I was returning from the country to town, to work, and was looking in at a shop window in Whitechapel ; the prisoner Norris came up, and stood at my side, and asked me to go with her to have a drop of beer - I accompanied her to her house, as she called it, in George-yard, Whitechapel, into a room up stairs, and gave her 1 s. to send for a pint of beer - she called Frazer, who was on the stairs, gave her the shilling, and told her to get a pint of beer; she went, and returned in about ten minutes, without any, and demanded money for the room; I gave her sixpence; she said that was not enough, she would have more before I went, and then I gave her another shilling, (Norris was in the room all the time); she demanded more; I said I would not give more - then one came on my right side, and the other on my left, and Frazer forced her hand into my breeches pocket, and took out three half crowns, and ran down stairs; Norris ran before me, and placed herself across the stair case, that I should not follow; she said, "Don't shove me" - she kept me there about a minute, and then said, "Now you may run after her;" I ran down into the street, and saw Frazer turning the corner into the next street - I followed, but when I got to the corner, I could see no more of her. I immediately went to Lambeth-street, and told Combes, the officer, and in the evening we went to look for them, and met them walking together in Whitechapel, going towards Aldgate church. Combes took them, and just before he got to the office, Frazer said to me, "Young man, I'll give you the three half crowns back, if you don't swear to us" - I told Combes, and he told me not to take it. I am certain they are the women. I was sober when I went to the house. I live at Chingford, and did not know this neighbourhood before. ROBERT COMBES . The prosecutor came to me about two o'clock, on the 3d of March; he appeared quite sober - I told him to come again in the evening; he did so, and we went to Whitechapel, and he pointed the prisoners out to me; I took them. I did not hear Frazer offer him any money. Prisoner NORRIS. Q. Did you not take another woman - A. Griffiths took one in the dark; the prosecutor immediately said she was not the person - we walked on and met the prisoners. NORRIS'S Defence. Being an unfortunate girl, I came out between seven and eight o'clock, and met Frazer. This good man came up, and said we were the two women who robbed him. I know no more of it than a baby unborn. FRAZER'S Defence. I met Norris, and asked her to walk with me. Combes came up, and said we must go with him. I never saw the prosecutor. NORRIS - GUILTY - DEATH . Aged 27. FRAZER - GUILTY - DEATH . Aged 21
