Convict Notes
Staffordshire Michaelmas Sessions. George Peake was charged with stealing nine ducks, the property of John Latham, at Stoke-upon-Trent. Mr. Lee called Matthew Latham, son of the prosecutor, who resides at Hallo-Buckley, in Shropshire. This witness proved the loss of the ducks, and also the discovery of two of them in Hanley market, in possession of the prisoner. The latter could give no other account than that he reared them. Mr. Latham fully identified the ducks. Guilty. The prisoner is of a bad stamp. In January 1831, he, along with his brother, was convicted of fowl stealing at Newcastle Sessions, and his father is now enduring a sentence similar to that passed in the present case, namely, transportation for seven years.
