Description (What the record is about)
-
Report of Beaumont Hotham on William Hands and John Crutchfield. Hands was convicted for stealing poultry at the Spring Assizes, place not given, held in 1792. Crutchfield was convicted at the 'last' assizes for forging a stamp on linen contrary to the Excise Laws. Grounds for clemency: none given for Hands; Crutchfield has a large family and was duped by another who escaped conviction. Initial sentence: Hands, 7 years transportation; Crutchfield, death (this was passed at Chelmsford after Hotham discussed the case with other judges as there were points of law that needed to be discussed). Recommendation: Hands enlists as a seaman; Crutchfield, none made. Folios 154-155. See also HO 47/18/23, folios 111-112.
