Convict Notes
Old Bailey: JOSEPH WRIGHT, DAVID JONES. Theft: housebreaking. 6th January 1831 Verdict Guilty > lesser offence Sentence Transportation JOSEPH WRIGHT and DAVID JONES were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Thomas Roberts, on the 4th of January, and stealing, 3 reams of paper, value 2l. 10s., his property. Wright’s Defence. When he crossed over to the warehouse I was on the opposite side, and seeing him go very hasty I stopped to see what was amiss; he came out directly with two gentlemen - the officer ran up Queen-street; I ran with him to see what was amiss, and at the top of Queen-street he said to me, “Did you see which way the young man went?” I said No; he looked at me, and said, “I think you are the young man who had the paper;” I said, “If so, I am willing to go where you think proper.” RICHARD GEORGE STATHAM. Instead of his running after me I was running after him; he was a-head. Jones’ Defence. I was walking down Queen-street; a young man, apparently in a great hurry with three reams of paper on his arm, stopped at the corner of a street, placed them on a window cill, and one of them slipped from between - I ran to put them on his shoulder; he asked me to carry them to Aldersgate-street with him as he was in baste; I said I had no objection, having nothing to do - he told me to follow him, and by St. Thomas Apostle the gentleman came up; the man had just turned the corner as the gentleman came up to me. WRIGHT - GUILTY. Aged 17. JONES - GUILTY. Aged 21. Of stealing only. - Transported for Seven Years. David Jones arrived per "Mangles 1833". 1846: TOL Windsor 3/11/1949: COF
