Convict Notes
Salford Michaelmas Quarter Sessions. Stealing Calico— Thomas Ryley, 15, was indicted for stealing seven pieces of printed calico, from the warehouse of Messrs. Fort and Bury. W. Axon is is in the employment of Messrs. Cooper and Gibson. While standing at the door of their warehouse, between five and six o'clock, on the 2?th of September last, he saw the prisoner and another boy go past; witness saw him enter Mr. Wilkinson's warehouse in Peel-street, from which he soon came out— He then watched the prisoner and his companion into Fridaystreet, where Fort and Bury's warehouse is situated, but lost sight of them for a few seconds while going round the corner of Friday-street; witness then saw the prisoner come out of Fort and Bury's warehouse with a bundle under his arm, upon which he took hold of him and brought him back into the warehouse— the bundle was found to contain the seven pieces of calico.— The other boy escaped behind a cart. On being taken back into the warehouse, the prisoner said he had taken the goods from the floor, having been sent by carter the foot of Cannon-street, with orders to fetch them. Mark Ramsken identified the calico as the property of his employers Messrs. Fort and Bury. The learned Chairman thought the case a very clear one, and the jury found the prisoner guilty. —ln passing sentence, the Chairman observed that the prisoner had very often been arraigned before the Court during the last four years, in fact he no sooner got out of gaol than he committed some new offence. The prisoner who exercised his privilege of challenge against one of the jury, and who, although young years, demeaned himself in other respects, if accustomed stand at a criminal bar, was then sentenced to transportation for seven years.
