Convict Notes
On Thursday the 16th inst. Daniel Crawley and William Young, two labourers, were detained by the constable of Coningsby on a charge of having their possession, and offering to sell, a hat, and several articles of drapery goods, which they were suspected to have stolen. ~Upon a strict examination, it was found that the men were part of a gang who last week went into several shops in Boston, in the dusk of the evening, and under pretence of buying something, stole the articles in question. John Scott and John Swain, two of their accomplices, have since been apprehended, and they are all committed to gaol at Boston for further examination. Stamford Mercury, 24 Dec 1819. William Young, John Scott and John Swain, all of Boston, labourers, were indicted for feloniously stealing a pair of shoes from the shop of Mr James Boost, shoemaker, in Strait Bargate. The prisoners were severally found guilty, when Young, against whom there were two more indictments, the one for stealing shoes from Mr John Wilkinson, of Pinfoldlane, in Boston, and the other for stealing a piece of plush from Messrs Sharpe and son, drapers and tailors, in Wide Bargate, was sentenced to seven years’ transportation. Scott to twelve and Swain to three months’ imprisonment. Drakard’s Stamford News, 14 Jan 1820
