Convict Notes
James Slatter, pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging him (with two others not in custody) with being armed with a gun, in the pursuit of game, in a plantation of Walter Strickland, Esq., in the parish of Ducklington, in the night of the 15th of November last. John Ayers, the gamekeeper, said—I was out on duty on the 15th Nov, in the long plantation, when I saw the prisoner and two others, about two in the morning, with a gun, and went towards them, when they put up the gun, and pointed it ; I drew back, and called out that | knew them, prisoner had not a gun; it was more than a mile from any road ; the men all went away; we afterwards took up Belcher, one of the men, but prisoner ran away. Joseph Edwards, assistant keeper, corroborated Ayers's evidence, and said he had known the prisoner ever since he had been born. Prisoner positively asserted that the witnesses had sworn to the wrong man. Verdict, guilty—Sentenced to be transported for seven years. Oxford University and City Herald, 14 July 1838. Removed from our our County gaol on Thursday last, on board the Ganymede hulk at Woolwich, pursuant to the sentences of transportation—John Spicer, Thomas Deeley, William Flint, and Daniel Slaney for 15 years each, John Akers for 10 years, and James Slatter for 7 years. Oxford University and City Herald, 21 July 1838.
