Description (What the record is about)
-
Report of Francis Buller on William Coats / William Coates, convicted at the City of York Spring Assizes on 20 March 1792, for stealing a gold enamelled pin, value £4/6, property of William Etherington. The prisoner was also tried for stealing a cornelian seal set in gold, property of Richard Clarke, from his shop, but was acquitted (although the judge thought the case was proved). There is also a letter from Richard Wilson regarding the collection of the judges' minutes. The judge though the prisoner was a 'mere wanderer' travelling around stealing goods wherever he could. Grounds for clemency: none given. Initial sentence: 7 years transportation. Recommendation: mercy, on condition that reputable people offer both employment and security for future good behaviour. Folios 248-251.
