Convict Notes
Quick Work. Samuel Parker, aged 19, Richard Hailes, aged 14, and Laurence Harrison, aged 18, were charged with stealing a coat, waistcoat, and pair of trowsers, the property of J. Smith. On Sunday morning about 8 o’clock, the prosecutor was bathing in the Severn, the upper end of Pitchcroft, near this city; before he went into the water, he noticed two of the prisoners at some distance, and on coming out his clothes were gone! He was supplied with a great coat, by a person who came by, and made speedy application to our city police officer, Orchard, who ascertained that the three prisoners had gone towards Bromsgrove. Smith set out in pursuit, and calling to his aid, King, the constable of Bromsgrove, succeeded in apprehending them, on the Lickey, with the clothes in their possession. On the following day, (Monday,) they were they were committed for trial; on Tuesday, a true bill was returned by die grand jury; and this afternoon, they took their trial.
