Convict Notes
Guildhall, Saturday Feb 8. Felony.—Joseph Mills, assistant to Messrs. Chamberlin, was brought up on charge of having stolen yards of black satinett, their property. Norfolk Chronicle, 15 Feb 1845. Norwich Sessions. Joseph Mills, (26.) a young man of respectable appearance, was indicted for having stolen yards satinet, the property of the Messrs Chamberlin. Mr. C. Cooper appeared for the defence. Mr. H. Chamberlin stated, that the prisoner had been in his service for about three months. Lewis Samuel said, I am a pawnbroker in St. John's Timberhill. remember the prisoner's coming to my shop, on the 7th February last, about four in the afternoon. He offered a piece black in pledge for 99s. I had some suspicion, and asked him to call again, my brother was gone to the bank, then went to Messrs. Chamberlin and gave information. I subsequently gave the satinet to Mr. Yarington, after having marked it. The prisoner said, he brought it from London. Mr. Yarington said, I produce a piece of satinet, that received from Mr. Samuel. I took the prisoner into custody. He said, that he had bought the satinet in London four or five years ago; but afterwards admitted, that it was Messrs. Chamberlin’s property, and begged forgiveness. Mr. Chamberlin was recalled and said, that the prisoner had been in his service three or four month on a salary of year. About half a quarter's salary was due to him; Mr. Palmer, ... had applied for it, but had not received it. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty and a former conviction for felony was proved. The Learned Recorder, in passing sentence, said, there could not a be a clearer case, ... for the prisoner had no excuse on the ground of poverty for the robbery. It was stated he would come into possession of considerable property, but that could not alter which was seven years' transportation. Norfolk Chronicle, 29 March 1845.
