Description (What the record is about)
-
1 collective petition (29 people including John Lewis, master carpenter and Margaret Lewis, the prisoner's parents and others, mostly tradesmen of St Martin le Grand, Westminster, Middlesex, addresses and trades given) on behalf of Thomas Lewis convicted at the Old Bailey on 22 May [1822] of street robbery and stealing a pocket watch, property of John Reid. Grounds for clemency: his father is a respectable tradesman, the prisoner's first offence, the recorder is mistaken that the prisoner has been tried before and has confused Thomas Lewis with Charles Lewis, because of this a more severe sentence has been passed and the prisoner is innocent of the crime. Initial sentence: transportation for life. Annotated: 'Refer to Recorder'. Folios 76-78. See also HO 47/63/2, folios 26-29.
