Convict Notes
Recent research has revealed that First Fleeter Joseph Hatton (my ggg grandfather) Sold his 1792 land grant in 1802 to JamescSquire and then purchased the nearby 30 acre 1794 grant of Thomas Jones. He stayed on this property until his death in 1828. His son Joseph Hatton 11 purchased the 1794 Edward Marsh Grant sometime before his marriage to Sarah Patfield in 1824. The eastern ridge of this property became known as Hatton’s Flat and later Top Ryde.

Edward Marsh was indicted for stealing, on th e17th February, one piece of brown linen, value 4l the property of John Thwaites, privily in his shop. JOHN THWAITES sworn. I am a linen-draper in Holborn : on the 17th of this month, about seven in the evening, a young man came to the door, and informed me a person was running away with some of my goods: I ran to the door, and ran up Brownlow-street; about half way up Brownlow-street, I saw the goods upon the prisoner's left shoulder; when I came up to him, he was in the act of dropping the piece of goods; he dropped it against my legs; I ran after him to Fulwood's Rents; there he was taken, and carried to Justice Walker's, and the linen: I do not know who picked it up; it was brought to my house: I never lost sight of him; I saw him in the shop in the afternoon before it was taken away; there were, I suppose, forty people in the shop when it was missed: I am sure it was mine; it contains one hundred and twelve yards, value five pounds; it has my own private mark, in my hand writing, and my brother's upon it; I bought it of my brother; it would sell for five pounds: I have had it in my possession ever since. Mr. Knapp, Prisoner's Counsel. This was on the 17th of this month? - Yes. It was dark? - Yes; and a great number of people in the shop; I had two pieces of the same linen, and both marked alike. You would not be able to swear to this piece only? - No, I could not. You pursued him into Brownlow-street? - I did, and took him; and left the linen, which was picked up by some person, and brought to my shop; but I do not know by whom. That person is not here? - No. JOHN TURNER sworn. I am clerk to Mr. Holroyd in Gray's-inn; a barrister at law I was coming down Holborn on the 17th instant, Ash-Wednesday: I saw a person lift up a bale of linen at Mr. Thwaites's door; the man that was in the act of taking it up, did not appear to me to be their porter, or shop-man; I went into the shop, l gave information of it, and Mr. Thwaites immediately pursued him, and took him; I remained in the shop till he was brought back: I went to the justice; and I verily believe that the prisoner at the bar is the man that took it from the door of Mr. Thwaites. Mr. Knapp. This happened to be about six, or a quarter after six? - Yes. This piece of linen you say was of a whitish colour, and taken from the outside of the door, close to the threshold? - Yes. Candles were lighted in the shop? - Yes. When at the justice's you saw the prisoner: did you know him? - Yes; but I am very sorry to say one of Mr. Thwaites's men pointed him out to me; but I know he was the man. HENRY CLARKE sworn. I am a shoe-maker: I was coming up Holborn; at Fullwood's Rents I heard the cry of stop thief! and I stopped the prisoner: and with assistance, took him to Justice Walker's: that is all that I know. (The linen produced and deposed to by Mr. Thwaites; and Mr. Turner deposed to his mark which he made at the justice's.) Mr. Thwaites. The piece stood about three feet within the door; and had not been moved till taken away. Prisoner. I leave it to my counsel. JOHN HILLIAR sworn. I have known the prisoner from a child; he has followed the sea; I always heard he was a very honest young man. ROBERT WOOD sworn. I live in Little Britain; I have known him about four years; he is a very honest young man; and should have had no objection to have entrusted him with fifteen or twenty pounds worth of bread. The prisoner called three other witnesses who gave him a very good character. GUILTY of stealing, but not privately. Tried by the second Middlesex Jury before Mr. RECORDER. https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?id=t17900224-29-defend318&div=t17900224-29#highlight https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?id=s17900224-1-person911&div=s17900224-1#highlight Convicted 24 Feb 1790 in Middlesex
Received a land grant of 30 acres in 1794 at Kissing Point (Ryde). This property was purchased by Joseph Hatton, a First Fleet convict in the first decade of the 1800’s. He sold his original 50 acre 1792 grant to James Squire. The Marsh grant became known as Hatton’s Flat after Joseph Hatton 111 built Hatton’s Cottage in 1884. It still stands behind the armed Vivic Centre.
