YORK HERALD - 13 MAY 1844 - Page 7 SECOND COURT—THURSDAY, April 11 (Before J.S. Crompton, Esq.) THOMAS RYMER (24), was charged with having, on the 16th of January last, at Thirsk, stolen five deal boards, the property of Richard Hutton Fawcett. Mr Travis conducted the prosecution. The prosecutor is a builder at Thirsk, and it appears that on 10th January last, he had a considerable quantity of wood sawn up into planks. On the 13th some of these planks were missed off his premises, and on the 16th search was made for them, and in a shed which was used by the prisoner, who is a carpenter, some York Herald – Saturday 13 April 1844 – Page 7 of the wood was found. The remainder of what was missing was also found close by, and was to correspond exactly with the planks left on the prosecutor’s premises; there were several other strong facts against the prisoner, which were being proved, when he withdrew his plea, and pleaded Guilty to this and four other charges of a similar nature. The CHAIRMAN, in passing sentence, observed that it was clear that the prisoner had been carrying on a wholesale system of robber, and although this, as far as the Court knew, was his first offence, they felt it incumbent upon them to send him out of the country—To be transported for 7 years.
