Convict Notes
Poaching and Felony.—On Wednesday evening, the 27th ult., Thomas Newth, game-keeper to P. Borthwick, esq; M P. of Claverton House, near this city, heard a shot fired in plantation near the mansion, called Pennsylvania Wood, and immediately proceeded in the direction, where he found only a boy named Henry Oakley, of the Villa House, Bathwick Hill, who, it appears, had been invited by a notorious poacher and bad character named Aaron Gane, to accompany him in his depredation upon the game of this manor. The keeper instantly secured the boy and finding the poacher started, mounted horse and rode after him, when he succeeded in overtaking him, and found on his person a hen-pheasant quite warm, which he had just before killed in the plantation From the deposition of the keeper, it appears that the prisoner made most desperate resistance, having struck the keeper between the eyes with the butt end of his gun, which had it not been partially parried, must have effectually stunned him and led to the prisoner's escape. After a desperate encounter, the keeper secured brm, and found that he was the very man who hail fired at him the night of the 30th Nov. last, in company with two others who were taken. After full investigation of the facts before the Magistrates of the Hundred of Bathforum, on Thursday, Gane was fully committed by John Wiltshire esq; and Jacob Wilkinson, esq; to take his trial at the next assizes.
