Leicester Borough Court, Friday, July 25. Sarah Twelltridge, a young woman, aged 18, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging her with wilful and corrupt perjury, in having falsely imputed to Mr. Raworth an attempt to violate her person. The prosecutor, respectable inhabitant of this town, interfered with the Court for a lenient sentence upon the prisoner; but was told that however creditable to his feelings such a proceeding was, it became the duty of the Court not listen to it in the present instance. Not only had the prisoner been guilty of the violation of a most solemn oath, but she had made a charge effecting a highly respectable individual’s life, as well endeavouring to destroy the peace and happiness of his family. Such charges were become too common, and should be put down by an exemplary punishment. He therefore sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned one month in the House of Correction, and at the expiration of that period be transported for seven years. Morning Advertiser, 28 July 1823. --------------------------------------------------
