Convict Notes
—Yesterday Samuel North and Thomas Drewett, charged with feloniously killing and stealing one lamb, the property of Wm. Bodrick, of Thame. - Oxford University and City Herald, 22 July 1820. On Monday the following prisoners were, removed from our county gaol to the York Hulk at Gosport, viz, Thomas Drewett, Samuel North, George Godfree, W. Bolter, John Lee, Thomas Woodbridge, and W. Dearlove, all for life. Oxford University and City Herald, 9 June 1821.
Stealing and killing a lamb, with another man. Two possible baptisms of Samuel North, 1798 and 1804. His mother died in 1815, so perhaps driving him into crime to keep fed.
