Convict Notes
Mary Ives, aged 23 years, and Mary Gready, aged 25 years, were severally indicted—the former for having stolen from the person of Thomas Staff, two purses containing three 5£. notes, six sovereigns, one half-sovereign, and 5s. and the latter as an accessary after the fact. The prosecutor stated that as he was passing through tbe Market lane, Ives took hold of him in a very indecent manner and put her hand in his pocket, and took out his purse ; he shook her off, and she immediately retreated into the house ; he, prosecutor, hesitated for a moment, to feel in his pocket if he were robbed, and finding he was, endeavoured to follow Ives into the house, but the door closed; he forced the street door, and in the lower room was the prisoner Gready, who denied all knowledge of the girl; the prosecutor attempted to go up-stairs, but Gready prevented him by shutting the door in his face ; prosecutor then went for assistance, but, in the mean time. The prisoner Ives escaped by the back door, Two other witnesses were called to corroborate the testimony; one of them swore he saw the prisoner Ives go out at the back door, but having no warrant, he did not think himself justified in stopping her, The prisoners were afterwards apprehended and clearly identified by the prosecutor; he afterwards ... Both prisoners denied all knowledge of the transaction, The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. The Court, in passing sentence said they were well known to the magistrates as women of the most profligate and abandoned character, and sentenced them to fourteen years’ transportation, Norwich Mercury, 6 July 1833.
