Convict Notes
The London Housebreakers. — On Friday the 1st inst. Adam Simpson, John Jones, and their two female companions, who were committed by the Liverpool magistrates for trial at the Kirkdale Sessions. Charged with being concerned in the robberies perpetrated some weeks ago in Liverpool and Manchester, applied to the Court of King's Bench for a writ of certiorari, to remove their trial to Lancaster. They alleged that they could not have a fair trial in Liverpool, the magistrates having expressed satisfaction at their being taken and also that, if convicted, they would probably receive a vindictive sentence. The Court granted the certiorari, and the four prisoners have therefore been sent to Lancaster, to be tried at the Lent Assizes. Lancaster Gazette, 9 Feb 1828. NORTHERN ClRCUlT— Lancaster, March 13, Adam Simpson, aged 27, John Jones, 25, Ann Lee, 20, and Eliza Thompson, 25, were convicted, the two former of having feloniously broken and entered a certain shop iv Manchester, and stealing therefrom fifty seals . fifty brooches, fifty gold rings, and a large quantity of other jewellery, the property of Edward Nightingale; and the two latter of receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen.
