SUSSEX ASSIZES— Monday Wm. Robinson and Thomas Bacon, two lads, were indicted for breaking and entering a cottage at Petworth, and stealing several articles of property. The prisoners were capitally convicted. Throughout the trial they exhibited the greatest impudence, repeatedly vociferating against the Court, and Robinson exclaimed exclaimed that he had a good neck for the rope! The learned Judge reproved them for their conduct, and intimated that they would be sent out of the country for their lives. Hampshire Advertiser, 17 Dec 1831.
