Berkshire Summer Assizes. Abingdon, July 14, 1828. The following is a sketch of the cases in the Crown Court on Monday : MARY ANN TAYLOR, from Binfield, for robbing John Surman, on the King's highway, of some silver coin, &c. It appeared that the prosecutor was an infirm old man, about 85 years old and on the 24th of June went the Shoulder of Mutton public house for a pint of beer; he was quite sober. On his return home he was met by the prisoner, whom he had never before seen, who observed that she was determined to have his money; she struck him on the face, which put him in amaze, and knocked him down; she then took his money, and made off. He returned to the public-house, gave alarm, and about ten minutes the prisoner was seized. It was proved by Abraham Minchin, who apprehended the prisoner on the Oakingham road, that she was actually in the room where the defendant was drinking his beer, and then observed, that any one who could rob old man like him deserved to be hung. When taken, she said the old man had given her the money.— Guilty. The Judge intimated to her that she could not to remain in this country. Berkshire Chronicle, 19 July 1828
