Report of Beaumont Hotham on 1 individual petition (Mary Smith, prisoner's mother) on behalf of William Smith, convicted (with John Hall) at the Kent Assizes at Maidstone, for waylaying a wagon, coming out of Tunbridge.

Grounds for clemency: previous good character and for the sake of his widowed 'Poor Old Mother's Distracted Mind'. Initial sentence: transportation.
