Yorkshire Assizes. LARCENY NEAR OTLEY. Peter Lewty and Wm. Walker were charged with having stolen from a waggoner, a box, belonging to Mr. John Robinson, of Leeds, on the 23d of November last, Mr. Milner stated the case, and Mr. Cottingham defended the prisoner. William Pickles, the waggoner, had, it appeared, proceeded as far as Carlton Bar, which is a few miles from Otley, when he went into the bar-house to get a light for his lamp, and in the meantime the prisoners, who were passing, had taken the box off the waggon, and made their escape with it. Three weeks after the prisoners were apprehended, and made a confession before the magistrate, Mr. Rhodes, though that gentleman informed them at the time that they would be no better for it. Walker having previously pleaded guilty, and the jury having returned a verdict of guilty against Lewty, they were sentenced to be transported for seven years. Leeds Times, 14 March 1833.
