Convict Notes
Highway Robbery. — On Thursday, Anthony Ward and James Hyde were examined before Mr. Justice Clapham, at the Court House, Leeds, on a charge of having robbed Mr. Wm. Hirst, of Hunalet Carr, cow-keeper, of a cotton purse containing two sovereigns and three half-sovereigns. It appeared on Tuesday night, the 13th inst., a little before midnight, as Mr. Hirst was going home, he passed three men about 200 yards from his own house. The men followed him, and before he had gone many yards one of them pulled him down. He began to cry out murder, but one of them put a handful of mud on his mouth, and held it there while the others rifled his pockets of the property above mentioned, with which they ran off. Hirst returned to the nearest public-house, where he got where he got a light, and on going back to the place, found another hat, besides his own which he had lost in the scuffle. He knew the three men to be the two prisoners and a man named Samuel Longbottom, who has for the present escaped, and it was proved by other witnesses that all those three men were together at a public-house in the vicinity shortly before the robbery, and that Ward was seen soon after without hat. The two prisoners were committed for trial at the Sessions. Leeds intelligencer, 24 April 1841.
Occupation at time of arrest was Wire Worker. Committed crime with fellow convicts James Hyde and Samuel Longbottom.
