Convict Notes
This report is a bit puzzling - it refers to Edward Kingman, but the circumstances fit with it being Benjamin. He would have been tried a the March Assizes at Horsham. Was Edward a misprint or another name of Benjamin? Also with him being a native of (Chid)dingley. Monday, two of the robbers who burglariously entered the house and shop of Mr. Larshmar, of Chiddingly, named Coggins and Mitchell, were taken at Ticehurst, and the same day brought to Lewes, where they underwent an examination before H. T. Shadwell who committed them for further examination. When taken, a horse pistol, laden with slugs, and most of the stolen property were found upon them.— Edward Kingman, an accomplice, was on Wednesday taken Maidstone, in Kent, and the next day also brought to Lewes, and committed to the House of Correction.
