Letter from Joseph Mawbey, chairman of the quarter sessions, on John Sawyer and Thomas Stevens, convicted at the Surrey Quarter Sessions, for stealing 2 iron bars, property of Sir Fredrick Evelyn Bart. This is an addition to an earlier report. Evidences supplied by James Frigg, an accomplice of the convicts, in a letter declaring that the evidence he had given during the trial was false and both Sawyer and Stevens were innocent. On enquiry it appeared that Frigg had unknowingly signed a piece of paper, but continues to claim his evidence on trial was in fact true. Grounds for clemency: none given. Initial sentence: not given. Recommendation: none made.
