Convict Notes
Preston Pilot; County Advertiser Saturday 7th January 1843. Jane Hartley, charged with stealing at Walton-le-Dale, a silk shawl, a silk handkerchief, and an apron, the property of Catherine Robinson. Mr. Whigham had the prosecution. Catherine Robinson examined: Lived at Walton-le-Dale, and the prisoner had lodged with her for four or five weeks. On the 5th of December, while witness was absent, the prisoner left, and took the articles named in the indictment. The apron was produced, and the witness identified it as the one she had left locked up in a drawer; she had not yet found the other things. - William Weatherby, police constable, 316, examined: Apprehended the prisoner at Blackburn, and found a pawn ticket in her possession ; he took the ticket to Moore’s, pawnbroker, and got the apron, which the prisoner said was the same she had brought from Alice Robinson’s, and had been given to her by the person’s daughter. This was the case; and she had not only been before convicted of felony, but also imprisoned four or five times as a loose character. She was sentenced to be transported for ten years, which she received with the most agonising shrieks for mercy, and was then taken from the bar, uttering piercing screams.
