Report of John William Rose, Recorder of London, on William Burke, convicted (tried with George Nugent) in September 1785, for an assault on Joseph Walker, and stealing a silver watch, value 30 guineas, at Holborn in Middlesex on 1 August 1785.

Evidences supplied by Joseph Walker, William Glover, James Banks, James Wayland, Hugh O'Donnel, James Mayes, patrol officer; John Galwin, night watch/crier; William Hounsworth and the prisoner. The judge stated he was 'satisfied with the Verdict of the Jury - The Prisoner having no Character given at the Trial'. Grounds for clemency: prisoner ran when he heard the watchman's rattle because he did not want to get 'taken up disorderly in the street'. Initial sentence: not given. Recommendation: transportation for life.
