Henry Carr and John Neville were on Thursday last apprehended by Bossom, our city constable, with two geese in their possession, which which there is every reason to believe were stolen. After undergoing an examination before the Mayor they were remanded till Monday for further examination, by which time it is expected an owner may be found for the geese. Oxford Journal, 16 June 1832. The trials of the prisoners then commenced. Henry Carr and John Neville, for stealing two geese, the property of John White, pleaded not guilty. John White, Lower Woods, in the parish of Islip, stated that the evening of the 14th of June, he missed three young geese, and that saw two of them in the Court for the Magistrates, one which he knew to have his properly by certain marks which he described. Bossom, the city constable, who apprehended the prisoners, and Job Coleman, a boy who had the care of the geese, gave such evidence relative to the felony, convinced the Jury of the guilt of the two prisoners, and they accordingly returned a verdict of Guilty.
