George Fowler was indicted of stealing a bay gelding, the property of George Palmer, Esq. on the 27th of May last. The Prosecutor,, Mr. Palmer, stated, that the Prisoner came to live in his service as his coachman, but having reason to be displeased with him, he had determined to part with him and gave him warning. On the morning of the 27th of May, the Prisoner was found to have left the house before the other servants had risen, and one of the coach horses and the best saddle was also missing. The prosecutor and his groom traced the prisoner as far as Stansted and Royston, and there they lost all traces of him. A few days afterwards he received intelligence that his horse was at Walthamstow, and he found it at a small public house there. The landlord and the ostler of the Nag's Head, deposed, that the prisoner came to that house on the morning of the robbery, with the horse in question, that he was very hot, and the horse appeared to have been hard ridden ; he said he came wide of Walthamstow, and wished to leave the horse there. Verdict—Guilty. British Press, 3 rd August 1808
