Convict Notes
Devon Lammas Assizes. Emanuel Littlejohn was indicted for; stealing ewe the property of Hugh Brent, Esq. in the parish of Shebbear. The prisoner was convicted of a felony in the third year of the reign our late Majesty and suffered punishment. The ewe in question was on Penworthy Moor, and the hind one John Brent Reed, nephew the prosecutor found the sheep wanting, when visited the moor, and on searching for it, found a place apparently where a sheep had been dragged through, he remarked some impressions shoes, and went and searched garden near the prisoner's dwelling, in whose possession the garden was, and in it found a sheep's head, and in another corner the entrails of a sheep, with foot marks, which appeared to him similar to the impressions on Penworthy Moor, and he procured one of the prisoner's shoes, and compared the impression with it, and found them to correspond as did the marks on Penworthy Moor, cut up the earth where the impression was, and carried it to the magistrate, who likewise compared it. The shoe was of a peculiar form, having a row of nails each side, and two rows in the middle, and at the fore extremity - a piece of iron, not the form of a horseshoe, but piece of iron direct across the toe of the shoe. Another witness proved that had counted 39 sheep on the day previous to the loss of the sheep, but found on the day it was missed, only 38, he substantiated the evidence of the last witness, with respect searching the prisoner s house, and fitting the shoe to the marks on Penworthy Moor, and in the field adjoining prisoner's garden. The foreman of the Jury stated that they could come to no unanimous agreement, did not wish to interrupt interrupt the business of the court, they were therefore locked up. Shortly after the jury returned verdict guilty.—death recorded. Western Times, 7 Aug 1830.
