Convict Notes
Thomas Roe, and Richard Roe, charged with breaking into the house of Joseph Richards during the night of Sunday the 24th of April, and stealing various articles therefrom. Worcester Journal, 17 July 1834. Assize Intelligence. Worcester Thomas Roe and Richard Roe (brothers) were charged with burglariously breaking into the dwelling, house of Joseph Richards, Yardby, on the April, and stealing handkerchief, a pair of scissors, and a spade. The articles stolen were found at the house where the prisoners lived with their mother. Their identity was proved in court. The constable of Vardley stated that the mother had been committed to Warwick gaol, but had since died . The jury returned a verdict of guilty as to stealing, and the judge sentenced them to be transported for life. As they left the bar one of them said, Thank you, my lord, I shall now have a home for life. The judge recalled them and observed, You say you shall have home for life will tell you what sort home you will have—you will work in chained gangs Botany Bay for life! Hereford Journal, 30 July 1834.
