Description (What the record is about)
-
Report of Joseph Shaw on 2 individual petitions (both from Mary Randall, prisoner's wife) and 1 collective petition (25 people, including a minister, constable, overseer of the poor and churchwarden of Rotherhithe[?] in Surrey, and the prosecutor) on behalf of Paul Randall, junk shop owner at Rotherhithe, convicted at the Surrey Quarter Sessions at Reigate, for stealing (or receiving) a foresail, value £7, property of John Hawkins, commander of the Hopewell sloop, on 9/10 April. There is also a covering letter from Mary Randall. Evidence supplied by John Wood, the mate on the Hopewell, and an unnamed constable. Grounds for clemency: first offence, had no time to organise his case/defence and was the victim of a vindictive attorney, previous good character, his current stay in prison has had great effect and will guide his future actions, has a wife and 6 children dependant on him (and he had previously maintained them all), and suggests the sail had passed to him through his shop. Initial sentence: 7 years transportation. Recommendation: none made.
