Convict Notes
WARWICK ASSIZES, CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST PAPER. … Richard Willock and Letitia O' Harty, for stealing wearing apparel from Elizabeth Morris; … severally received sentence Death, but were afterwards reprieved. Aris’s Birmingham Gazette, 12 April 1813.
Thomas Taylor and John Kitchen were indicted on a charge of having assaulted and robbed one Letitia Mason, on the Parramatta Road, on the 7th March last. The evidence of the prosecutrix and her husband, Squire Mason, fully proved the charge against the prisoners, who made no defence. ... Thomas Taylor and John Kitchen, highway robbery, 15 years transportation. The Dispatch, 6 April 1844. —————————————————————————- Thomas Taylor and Robert Kitchen were indicted for highway robbery. From the evidence it appeared that, as Squire Mason, on the 7th March, was travelling to Sydney in a gig, in company with his wife, opposite Dr. Ramsay’s fence, at Dobroyd, on the Parramatta Road, two men stopped the gig; they came over the fence ; the prisoners were the men; Taylor held the horse’s head, and Kitchen jumped into the gig; they first asked witness for his money, and he gave what silver he had; Taylor then told Kitchen to search the woman; Kitchen did so, and took from her pocket a roll of notes amounting to £28, a purse with £2 in it, and a quantity of silver coin besides: they then went away: he asked them to give him two shillings back, but they said they were too poor to do so. Inspector Molloy having received information that two armed bushrangers were concealed in a house, in a lane off Campbell-street, went there with two constables, and found the prisoners, whom he took into custody: they were then recognized by Mr. Mason as the men who had robbed him. The jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict of guilty. The Guardian, 6 April 1844. ————————————————————————— It appears that Letitia, Squire Mason’s wife, died between April 1844, when the robbery above took place and December 1845, when he remarried.
