Crime: Burglary - breaking into the house of Roger Leigh, weaver, with the intention of breaking his looms. Initial sentence: Sentences commuted to transportation for life. Annotated (Outcome): Nil. Petitioner(s): The prisoners with 17 supporting signatures [including Roger Leigh, prosecutor, and Alice Leigh, his daughter]. Grounds for clemency (Petition Details): The witness, Lawrence Halton, who gave King's evidence against the prisoners, Rachael Leigh, wife of Roger, and Alice Leigh, his daughter, are infamous characters and unworthy of credit [the prisoners were also indicted for rape of Alice and Rachael Leigh but acquitted]. 'It can be proved, if required, by undeniable testimony' that Lawrence Halton was the only one who entered the house. Other papers: Covering letter from Ellen Anderton, Robert Halliwell, Jacob Greenhalgh and Richard Kenyon, parents of the prisoner, forwarding the petition and saying Halton is an unreliable witness.
