Convict Notes
On Thursday, three desperate and notorious characters, Peter Rawlins, Thomas Hastings, and James Largy, were examined before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged John Wilkinson, a constable of St. Saviour's, as follows :—The constable knew Rawlins to be a very bad and desperate fellow, and having seen him on ,Wednesday evening in Pepper-alley, in company with the other two prisoners, suspected something wrong was in contemplation ;.the two Prisoners, Hastings and Largy, left Rawlins, who remained in the alley peeping and watching. Soon after the constable took him into custody, and gave him in charge of a watchman ; after which he saw - the other Prisoners drawing some lead along the gutter of a house close by; they, however, made their escape . for the moment, but were soon after secured climbing down a ladder from a hay loft close by. A great quantity of lead was produced by the constable, which he found rolled up in the gutter of the house on which he discovered the two Prisoners, Hastings and Largy ; he also found a quantity of lead behind a stack of Chimneys of an adjoining house, all of which had been ripped from the roof of the house on which they were first at work. Mr. Warry, of New inn, and who is solicitor for William Dodington. Esq. of Horsington, Somersetshire, attended, and proved the house from which the lead had been taken was his property. ….
