Report of J Burrough on 1 individual petition (Rebecca Marshall, the prisoner's wife) on behalf of Charles Marshall, convicted at the 'last' Devon Assizes for i) the theft (with --- Buckingham) of 7 sheep from Thomas Grubb on 8 December 1821 and ii) the theft (with --- Turner) of 8 sheep from Richard Ward on 15 December 1821. Grounds for clemency: the prisoner was of previous good character, the judge intimated that the prisoners sentence should be commuted from transportation for life to imprisonment, the prisoner has 3 young children and he is the joint owner (with his mother) of a property with a yearly value of £150. Initial sentence: death, recommended by the judge at the trial to transportation for life. Recommendation: none made, the wife is mistaken in believing the judge had intimated that her husband should not be sent out of the country. Annotated: 'To be transported'.. Folios 280-283.
