Old Bailey Proceedings Online (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 9.0) September 1812. Trial of THOMAS COLLARD (t18120916-168). Available at: https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/record/t18120916-168 (Accessed: 19th September 2025). 791. THOMAS COLLARD was indicted for feloniously stealing, on the 12th of September , from the person of John Green , an eighteen-penny stamp, and a bill of exchange for twenty-one pound, ten shillings and four pence , his property. JOHN GREEN . I am a dealer in cottons . I live in Field-lane. I lost a stamp paper and a bill of exchange from my pocket. I believe it was on the 6th of September. Q. What day of the week was it - A. I rather think it was the seventh; it was on the Monday. In September I was in Bartholomew-fair ; that was the last day of the fair, about eight in the evening. When I went into the fair I had a bill of exchange of twenty-one pound, ten shillings and four pence, and an eighteen-penny stamp paper, in my pocket-book. Q. Are you quite sure that you had it when you set off from your own home - A. I am. Q. How long had you been in the fair, when any thing happened to you which induced you to suspect your pocket had been picked - A. About an hour. When I got out of the mob, I felt in my pocket and found my pocket-book was gone. There was a great mob by Bartholomew coffee-house, just by the Hospital. I was very much crowded there, and when I got to Long-lane, the end next to Smithfield, I felt in my pocket and missed my pocket-book. Q. Now, being in the crowd, were you able to distinguish the person of the prisoner. - A No; I do not recollect seeing him. …. GUILTY , aged 20. Transported for Life. First Middlesex jury, before Mr. Common Serjeant. This is taken from a very long report of the trial. He was found in a room with two women, one of whom said she was his half-sister. She said their father was a jeweller and that her brother had lived with his father. Other personal details related in the trial.
