James Oakley (also on board)and John Humm of Glemsford were committed to Bury gaol on their own confessions of having stolen two horses, two saddles and two bridles from the stables of the Rev E.D.Butts of Glemsford and the property of Henry Craven Esq. At the Suffolk Assizes the death sentence was pronounced with recomendations of transportation to the colonies for life.
John Humm had been in trouble before, firstly for assaulting John Mansfield, gamekeeper to Earl Howe at Cavendish, whereupon he was sentenced to be imprisoned until he gave surety of 40 pounds. Secondly, in February 1823 when he and Isaac Goody were charged with stealing six bushels of wheat in the chaff from the barn of Sidney Eldred at Glemsford.
