Convict Notes
Moses Steven, alias Hickmott, committed to Horsham Gaol, by Daniel Rowland, Esq . on three separate charges of horse stealing, namely, for stealing October, 1826, at Wadhurst, a black colt, the property of Mr. Samuel Roberts, valued 21/.—for having stolen from the farm of Mr. Edmund Springer, at Ticehurst, July, 1827, a black cart mare, valued —and for having stoled in the night of Tuesday, the instant, from the farm of William Roper, Esq at Frant, a bay gelding valued 10/. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner was observed going through the street Maidstone, about four o’clock on Wednesday by George Chambers, (one the night watchmen,) riding Mr. Robert’s horse, which appeared in most state; this, and receiving unsatisfactory answers from the man, induced the watchman to take him to the constable, Mr. Kipling, who kept the man in custody, not satisfactorily explaining how he came by the horse, and other suspicious circumstances. On the Thursday hand bills were circulated stating the robbery, and describing the horse; and on their appearing at Maidstone, intimation was given at Frant, early Sunday morning, that a man was detained for having horse in his possession answering the description of the one in the hand-bill. Monday he was brought from Maidstone to Frant, to answer to this charge before Daniel Rowland, Esq. the Magistrate. Brighton Gazette, 29 Oct 1829.
