Convict Notes
John Wilkinson, 26, and William Brentnall, 27, were charged with stealing a watch and other articles at Watnall.—Mr. Williams called Matthew Norman, the prosecutor, who said that on Tuesday, ? May he was at the Queen’s Head at Watnall, having his watch, penknife, and purse, ! containing two sovereigns, four halfcrowns, and seven or eight shillings; he went from the public- house to Mr. Gilbert’s, and from there to a hovel, where he fell asleep ; he got home about twelve. He then missed his property.— Cross examined by Mr. Whitehurst. Was not drunk, but had had some liquor; the next morning went to the hovel, to look among the straw if he had left his watch there.—John Leavers, constable, searched the prisoner Wilkinsons house and found nothing; the next day he went again and found the watch in the coal-place ; it was not there the day before ; it as wrapped up in a piece of brown paper,—Thos. Whitworth, constable, apprehended the prisoners the 1st June, and two sovereigns and purse in the possession of Wilkinson, which belonged to the prosecutor, and identified.—Mr. Scullhorpe proved the examination of the prisoners, in which they both confessed to the robbery.— Matthew Mole, proved Brentnall’s former conviction at the sessions in January 1832, for felony.— Guilty.— Wilkinson seven years’ transportation, and Brentnall, fourteen years’.
