Trial and Sentence 2 Mar 1816 • Northampton Assizes Crime is not stated, but the sentence is transportation for 7 years. One source lists crime as 'larceny in a dwelling house' - sentence death. ( I think this must refer to a different Rob. Hayward, although this trial was also in Northampton in 1816.
