Convict Notes
Surrey Sessions, June 12. Shadrack Pegdon, John Osborne, and James Dixon, were indicted for stealing, and James Neale, for receiving, three quarters of oats, the property of Mr. Blackstone, corn-factor, Dockhead. The three first-named prisoners were  employed to convey 34 quarters of oats in a waggon, to Mr. Grey’s livery stables, Earl-street, Blackfriars ; they took a circuitous route to Churchstreet, Blackfriars, where they stopped at Neale's house, who is a corn- chandler, and dropped six of the sacks, containing three quarters of oats of the 34; the three quarters were afterwards found in an upper room of Neale’s house, in bulk, and taken possession of. All the prisoners were found Guilty, and Pegdon, as the carman to whom the goods were entrusted principally, sentenced, together with Neale, to 14 years' transportation, and Osborne and Dixon, to seven years each.
