Convict Notes
A fortnight ago Mr. Panned, of Stoke by Clare, discovered in his straw-yard at an off-hand farm, two mares which had doubtless been designedly put there, to be taken away at a convenient opportunity. Believing them to have been stolen, he immediately locked them up, but after four days they were claimed by some gypsies, and he was obliged to surrender them. On the following day an advertisement met his eye in the Chelmsford paper, giving a description of two horses, which had been stolen from Mr. Coningsbee, of Lilley, Herts, exactly corresponding with the appearance of the animals he had parted with. He therefore commenced an immediate search, and having traced the gypsies through various parishes in the direction of Siclesmere, near this town, gave information to Mr. Warren, the constable of that place, who, with the assistance of Mr. Fordham, of Gedding, continued the pursuit to Westhorpe, where three men were taken, with two covered carts drawn by the mares, conveying themselves, two women, and seven children. The whole tribe were conveyed to Burv on Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday morning the three men, named John and Wm. Smith, and Wm. Pale, were taken before John Benjafield, Esq. who after a long hearing, remanded them for further examination; and the owner of the horses having arrived Thursday evening and identified them as his properly, the men were again brought up and fully committed. It is rather curious that in examining the carts (which are also supposed to have been stolen) a saddle was found by Mr. Fordham, which had had been stolen from him at Haughley fair in August last. Bury and Norwich Post, 31 Jan 1827. --------------------------------------------------- SUFFOLK ASSIZE NEWS At Bury Assizes John and Wm. Smith (gypsies) and Wm.
