Convict Notes
New South Wales, Australia Convict Ship Muster Rolls and Related Records, 1790-1849 Trade; Farming Labourer aged 19 years old
The following prisoners were tried, and received sentence of death;… Wm. Jenkins and Wm Jones, for stealing a bay gelding, the property of Wm Clements, at St George’s, in the county of Gloucester;... Of the ten prisoners who received sentence of death at our assizes, the whole have been reprieved, excepting John Lawes, convicted of burglary, who is left for execution on Tuesday the 4th of August. Salisbury Journal, 27 July 1818 Wm Jones, aged 18, and Wm. Jenkins, of the same age, were indicted on three charges of stealing two mares and a gelding, the property of Wm Clements. Objection was taken by the prisoner’s counsel, that as there was no proof of the original taking in this evidence, a mere possession in a different county could not legally be admitted as proof of a fresh taking; that being the only principle on which felonies could be tried in other counties than those in which they were committed. In this case the horses were alleged to have been taken in Bristol, and were recovered in Wiltshire. Mr justice Park thought there was no foundation for the objection, which he said had been over-ruled by all the Judges of England. Verdict, Guilty. Windsor and Eton Express, 19 July 1818 HO 9-9-1 Records of Laurel, Hardy and York Hulks, in Portsmouth Harbour, 1805-1831, P 45. Received from New Sarum, 28 Sept 1818 (9 prisoners) Wm.
