Convict Notes
30/3/1846 London Daily News London, England: SPRING ASSIZES Burglary near Leamington.—George Hart, Edward Walsgrove, James Carne, and Wm. Overton, were indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Henry Eyres Landor, Esq., at Bishop's Tachbrooke, near Leamington and stealing therefrom three gold watches, silver soons, £6 in money, and sundry other valuable articles, his property, on the night of the 19th of February.......... The Jury, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty against all four. Sentence deferred. On the day that Edward Walsgrove received his Conditional Pardon, the two other convicts tried with him, James Carne and William Overton, also received their Conditional Pardons. The Conduct Records of both Carne and Overton have been noted "Specl per Secy of State" indicating that the pardons were out of the ordinary, and well in advance of when they would normally have been granted. The reason why the pardons were granted early is unclear. June 1847: Off Norfolk Island per 'Tory' Edward was listed as 36 years old on arrival. Place of Birth: Near Warwick.
