1792 April 27

Description

Letter from John Heath on John Crabb/John Crab, convicted (with James Wilson, Arthur Gifford and Peter Lendegreen). The judge states that the subject of the petition is wholly different to the matters discussed at the trial and that it was unusual to pass to petition such as this to the presiding judge. The prisoner is no doubt an object of mercy as he had discovered a plot within the gaol. However, he asks if Wilson, Gifford and Lendegreen should also be extended mercy as they were accomplices to the prisoner who acted as the principal in the crime. Folios 149-150. See also HO 47/14/16, folios 111-112 and HO 47/14/18, folio 118.
