Salisbury The business of the Lent Assizes for the county of Wilts commenced here on Monday, before Mr Justice Buller and Mr Justice Grose, and ended on Tuesday, though the business was considerable. ..Betty Taylor and Ann Player were tried for stealing a piece of muslin, two pieces of calico, some handkerchiefs, and other goods, from the shops of Mr Brine and Mr Betts, in Warminster; Jane Spinks was tried for receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen; and Mary Maddox as an accomplice in the robberies, was admitted a witness for the Crown; which means the evidence against the other three was rendered complete, and they were all found guilty. Spinks, the receiver, being seen by the Court as the most heinous offender, was sentenced to be transported for fourteen years; Taylor and Player for seven years. They are all under 20 years of age.
