The following prisoners convicted at our Assizes and Sessions were on Monday removed from our County Gaol, to the Fortitude Hulk at Chatham, previous to being transported :— … John Langford, a horse the property of Mr. Medlicott  of Stretton. —life. This prisoner, a man occupying a respectable station in society as a publican at Gloucester, residing in his own house, having teams on the canal, and the proprietor of some valuable land around his house, admitted after his conviction that for years he had been extensively engaged in stealing Horses from Shropshire and Wales, and disposing of them at the fairs in Worcester and Gloucestershires. He confessed readily to all the robberies be had been engaged in without confederates ; but was a punctilious thief, and refused to name his associates, leaving them to find their road to Botany Bay without his assistance. He stole the horse of a Mr. Jarrett, residing near this town, and on receiving a sovereign, gave Mr J. such information as enabled him to find his horse in a mill at Tewkesbury. Two other horses he stole—one from Captain Lloyd, and the other one from Mr. Hayward, of Round on a sovereign being deposited, he furnished them with such particulars as will enable those gentlemen easily to recover their property, which they are now engaged in.
