Convict Notes
AYLESBURY ASSIZES. Edward Tilley, aged 30, and Thomas Randall, aged 25 years, dealers in horses, were indicted for stealing, October last, two geldings, value 50/. the property of George Morgan, Esq. of Billesdon Park. -—The evidence against both the prisoners proved the offence beyound all doubt. Tire Judge instantly passed sentence of death upon them. He said, that the crime of horse-stealing was increasing so rapidly, that it was necessary public examples should be made. This was the third case of horse-stealing tried these assizes and was the most flagrant of the three. It appeared that the prisoners were men of bad character, - and practised horse-stealers.—Tilley almost fainted.— The prosecutor recommended them to mercy after sentence was passed. Cambridge Chronicle, 11 March 1825.
