February 1822, trial of THOMAS WELLS WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMAS MORLEY (t18220220-209). THOMAS WELLS, WILLIAM PHILLIPS, THOMAS MORLEY, Theft > pocketpicking, 20th February 1822. 532. THOMAS WELLS , WILLIAM PHILLIPS , and THOMAS MORLEY were indicted for stealing, on the 10th of February , one handkerchief, value 2 s., the goods of a man unknown, from his person . WILLIAM COLTON . I am an officer. On Monday evening, the 10th of February, I was coming by a chapel in Barbican, a great many people were coming out, I saw the prisoners following a lady and gentleman. I can speak positively to Phillips - they followed them to Bunhill-row . - I saw something come from the pockets, and sent Keys over to the gentleman to see if he had lost any thing - he missed his handkerchief. I said, if he would return, I thought he could recover it - we ran up Bunhill-row; but they got into Blue Anchor-court, and we lost them. The gentleman said his name was Burrell. I knew Burrell of White Cross-street, and thought that it might be him, but found it was not. Half an hour afterwards, we found the three prisoners, with two others, in a coffee-shop in White Cross-street, and took all five to the watch-house. I could not find the gentleman. I am sure they took a handkerchief from the gentleman. I saw Phillips take it. FRANCIS KEYS . I was in Chiswell-street, and saw Phillips attempt several gentlemen's pockets. I saw him take this gentleman's handkerchief. I ran and told the gentleman. We afterwards took them in a coffee-shop. The handkerchief was never found. GEORGE WADDINGTON . I was in Chiswell-street, and took them. I saw nothing of the robbery. PHILLIPS - GUILTY . Aged 14. Transported for Life . WELLS - NOT GUILTY . MORLEY - NOT GUILTY . Second Middlesex Jury, before Mr. Recorder.
