Edward Francis Sanderson, aged 22, and Thomas Reed, aged 36, were jointly indicted on the oaths of James Dudley and others with feloniously stealing at Catterham, in this county, a bay gelding, the property of William Mills.
Reed persisted in a plea of guilty, and the evidence against his accomplice, an old offender, being clearly proved, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Court sentenced the prisoners to be transported for life.
