Convict Notes
We are sorry to learn that seven frames, standing in the shop of one Richard Gumley, of this town, were wilfully damaged on Thursday The Magistrates were engaged on Friday morning in the investigation of the transaction, and find that a youth the name of James Lodge, who worked and slept at Gumley’s, has been fully committed for trial. It is clear from various circumstances, that no other was concerned with him in this outrage, and there appears to have been no possible motive for it but a pure spirit of mischief, or wish to something which should be talked about. The shop is a detached building, and situate about eight or 10 yards from the house. Two other men who lodge at Gumley's were at work in until about ten o'clock on Thursday night, and they then went into the house to get their supper and go to bed. Lodge remained in the shop about half hour after them without any assignable motives, and he should have locked the door, when he left it. they all went to bed, two them in one room, and Lodge in a separate one, about a quartet before eleven and in the morning when they got up to work, Slaney, who went first to the shop, found that the door latched, but had hot been locked at all, and there were no appearances of force used either at the windows or door; no footsteps were discoverable in any of the adjoining gardens, nor in any other direction, but from Gumley's house to the shop. ...
