Convict Notes
Edward Martin, 38, was indicted for stealing a piece of timber, value ? the property of our Sovereign Lord the King, at Woolwich; and David Griffiths, and Evan Griffiths, for receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Welsh and Mr. appeared for the crown, Mr. Bodkin fof the principal, and Messrs. Espinasse for the receivers. It appeared that the wood in question had been stolen from the dock-yard, and found in the yard, belonging to the Griffiths, who are timber dealers in Woolwich, and who gave contradictory accounts of the way in which they became possessed of it. Martin, who they said had sold it to them, was seen sawing it at an early hour of the morning. It was worth about £9, and had been stolen from where it had been kept floating. The two Griffiths received excellent previous characters for honesty, and good conduct from many respectable witness. They had surrendered to take their trial. Martin also received a good character.
