HO-11-2. Indents, Early Convict Ships Indian William Hall, Tried at Bedford Assizes, 4 Aug 1808, Life. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bedford Assizes. The assizes at Bedford commenced Friday se’nnight The calendar, usual in that county, was but thin; only four prisoners. The following trial excited considerable interest. William Hall was capitally indicted for highway robbery near Dunstable, on the 9lh of April last. The Rev. Mr. Horseman, the prosecutor,  stated, that he and his wife were driving one horse chaise, within a mile and a half of Dunstable, they were stopped by two footpads. The tallest of the two presented a pistol, and, with horrid oaths and dreadful threats, demanded their watches and money.  If they refused, he said, he would blow their brains out. The prosecutor immediately gave his watch and purse, containing about 35.£. when the same man began to rifle Mrs. H. and threatened to kill her if she did not deliver her trinkets. The prosecutor could not swear to the  prisoner; but Mrs. Horseman, after corroborating her husband’s evidence, with great agitation and reluctance, identified the prisoner as one of the two, and he who behaved with most civility. The morning after the robbery, the prisoner was apprehended, and, on seeing him, she immediately recognised him. Bell’s Weekly Messenger, 14 Aug 1808.
