CORRECTION to above entry. The year of conviction was 1810. Henry was convicted twice on the same day, 11 April 1810, at the Old Bailey. 342. HENRY LAZURUS was indicted for feloniously stealing on the 22nd of March , sixteen yards of carpetting, value 2 l. the property of Archibald Scott , in his dwelling-house . ARCHIBALD SCOTT . I am a cabinet maker , No. 6, Cambridge-street, Carnaby-market. On the 22nd of March, between seven and eight in the morning, I was informed the prisoner took out this carpetting, I followed the prisoner and took him myself after he had laid the carpet down. SAMUEL NUNN . I am a servant to Mr. Brown, an upholsterer, just opposite Mr. Scott's; I saw the prisoner come out of the shop with the carpet under his arm; I gave the alarm to Mr. Brown, he ran out and caught him. GEORGE BROWN. Q. You are an upholsterer - A. Yes. On the 22nd of March I came down a little after seven o'clock, and hear to Mr. Scott's door, I saw two men standing, I told Samuel Nunn , he watched them; he said one of them is gone in, and here he comes with the carpet; I run out of my side door and stopped him; I asked him where he got that carpet, he said, from the next street. The property produced and identified. Prisoner's Defence. I leave myself entirely to the mercy of the court. GUILTY, aged 28. Of stealing to the value of thirty-nine shillings only . Transported for Seven Years . Second Middlesex Jury, before Mr. Recorder. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tried at the Old Bailey, 11 April 1810. 262. HENRY LAZURUS was indicted for feloniously stealing on the 11th of January , two umbrellas, value 18 s. the property of Thomas Godwin . THOMAS GODWIN . I live at No. 10, Tottenham-court-road ; I am an umbrella maker . On the 11th of January I was at work in my shop, about four o'clock in the afternoon; my wife observed two men make a halt before the door, she said there were some customers coming into the shop; I saw the prisoner at the same time take hold of the two umbrellas, he unhooked them off the hooks and walked away with them deliberately; I pursued him and brought him back to the shop door; he then threw the umbrellas down. He said he was going to look at them; he went away from my shop about thirty yards with them. My apprentice girl took the umbrellas up; these are them; they are mine. Prisoner's Defence. The crime I now stand indicted for I was led to believe I was totally clear of, as I was in custody for it in January sessions, and was discharged from the sessions house, Clerkenwell. Q. to Godwin. How came you not to prosecute last January - A. That was owing to the mistake of the officer; he got the bill of indictment the day before the sessions ended; he said if he was not tried that sessions, he would put a note in to detain him; I believe that was not attended to. GUILTY , aged 28. Transported for Seven Years . First Middlesex jury, before Mr. Recorder.
