Convict Notes
Thomas Maytum, and Henry Vandepeer, were indicted for stealing an ewe sheep, the property of D. Harris, at Herne, and John Maytum, for receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen. The prisoners were all found Guilty.’’ His Lordship told Thomas Maytum and Vandepeer, their lives would be spared, but they would be sent out of the country. He sentenced John Maytum to Maytum to Seven years’ transportation. Kentish Weekly Post, 4 Aug 1826. 7/8/1826 Sussex Advertiser: SHEEP STEALING. Thomas Maytum, aged 20, Henry Vandepeer, aged 19, and John Maytum aged 26, were indicted for killing and stealing a sheep, the property of Mr. David Harris, at Herne, on the 12th of April last. The detection of the prisoners was rather curious:- When they killed the sheep, they left all those parts, the skin &c, by which, in all probability, they considered it could be brought to proof against them. On searching their houses, a day or two after the sheep was killed, a quantity of meat was found in their possession, for which they could not account. They, however, stoutly denied that they stole it; and, as it is rather difficult to swear to meat, the constable was at fault, until, on examining the skin, part of the spine bone was found attached to it, and, on comparing the part found with the bone attached to some of the meat in the prisoners possession, it corresponded exactly. The prisoners were then taken into custody, and subsequently acknowledged their offence. The witness for the prosecution underwent a severe cross-examination by Mr. J. Dowling, but nothing material was elicited. Verdict - Guilty; and sentence of transportation for seven years immediately passed on them.
