Convict Notes
True bills were found against Ralph Ridley and Jane Ridley for perjury. Newcastle Chronicle, 3 March 1832. Northumberland Summer Assizes. PERJURY. Before MR JUSTICE PARKE. RALPH RIDLEY, a person of respectable appearance, was indicted for perjury. It appeared that, the 21st of April, smuggler, named Pringle was overtaken on Blacop Moor, by the excise officers, carrying some kegs of spirits slung across his horse. The officers  who were also horseback, armed with pistols and cutlasses, called upon Pringle surrender,  but he refused to do so, and defended himself for some time with a stick, and struck one the officers off his horse. The other officer gave him a cut on the side of his head with his cutlass, and Pringle then rode off, having first dropped the spirits. Pringle was summoned before, the Magistrates, when the defendent swore that Pringle was miles distant at the time the officer stated they had the culprit with him, and that received the wound on the side of the head from a beam falling upon him. The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury found him Guilty. The prisoner's wife, a young woman clean and decent appearance, with lovely baby in her arms, was then placed at the bar, and evidence having been given similar to that preferred against her husband, the Jury found her Guilty. The Learned Judge sentenced them to six months imprisonment in the Newcastle house of correction, and at the expiration of that time to be transported for seven years. The female prisoner was taken away in a fainting state. Newcastle Journal, 4 Aug 1832.
