Convict Notes
Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 8.0, 24 September 2022), April 1820, trial of ABRAHAM JACOBS (t18200412-9). ABRAHAM JACOBS, Theft > grand larceny, 12th April 1820. 358. ABRAHAM JACOBS was indicted for stealing, on the 6th of April , one trunk, value 5 s. , the goods of William Stringer . SECOND COUNT, the same, only stating it to belong to James Taylor . WILLIAM STRINGER . I am servant to James Taylor , who is a Hampstead carrier . On the 6th of April I left my cart at the corner of Friday-street and Watling-street , while I went to make enquiry at the Bell Inn in Friday-street. I was not absent two minutes, and on my return I found the trunk gone. It was directed to Captain Moore, South Moulton, Devon. I saw it next day at the Mansion House - it had not been uncorded. DAVID DAVIS . I am a jobbing porter, and live in Thames-street. The prisoner brought a trunk to me, and said "Old man, will you carry this trunk?" - I am certain he is the man. I borrowed a knot, he helped it on to the knot, and told me to carry it to Whitechapel. He walked before me about twelve yards - I then called to him not to go so fast, as I could not follow him. He went down Lower Thames-street, Pudding-lane, and into Botolph-lane. An officer stopped him, and asked if the trunk belonged to him? he said No - the officer then asked me if he was my master? I said he had employed me to carry the trunk - the officer detained him. I followed them to the Mansion House, and attended on Saturday, when Stringer claimed it. ABRAHAM MILES . I am an officer. On Thursday, about half-past six o'clock in the evening, I was in Distaff-lane,and saw the prisoner running down the Old Change, with the trunk on his back, I followed him into Thames-street, and saw him deliver it to Davis - I stopped him in Botolph-lane, and asked him if the trunk belonged to him - he said No. I secured him and the porter said he had employed him. I did not secure him when I first saw him, because I was carrying some prints. (Property produced and sworn to.) Prisoner's Defence. I met a gentleman, who asked me to carry it, he afterwards took it off my back, and gave it to the porter. GUILTY . Aged 25. Transported for Seven Years . London Jury, before Mr. Common Sergeant. https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/print.jsp?div=t18200412-9
