On Tuesday last ended our assizes, at which three prisoners were capitally convicted, viz. Thomas Castleman, for stealing two horses out of the stable of Robert Budden, of St Giles, in Dorset; John Clements, for breaking into the dwelling-house of Francis Kimber, and stealing a silk handkerchief, a black silk cloak, and a red cloth cloak; and William Winstone, for stealing a black mare, the property of John Wilkins, of Cirencester in Gloucestershire. The two first are left for execution, the other is reprieved. Salisbury Journal, 14 July 1788
