Report of Spencer Perceval on 1 collective petition (18 people, including a magistrate, navy chaplain and the vicars of Halsowen in Shropshire and Rowley in Staffordshire) on behalf of Mary Hide alias Sarah Blunn, late of 'Honnington in Hales-Owen [Halesowen] County of Salop [Shropshire]', convicted at the 'last' Warwickshire Assizes, for stealing a black silk cloak, a muslin shawl, a gown and other articles of clothing, property of Francis Deakin and a pair of scissors, property of Mary Weald, his housekeeper, at Harbon [Harborne] in Staffordshire on 15 November. The judge thought this was a particularly serious case as the prisoner showed deviousness in trying to cover up her crime (she stated a beggar asking 'charity' had been troublesome and had committed the theft. Evidences supplied by Francis Deakin, ------ Wooldridge, late constable's brother; Mary Weald, Ann Smith, Lucy Townshend, Thomas Hadden, Benjamin Blaine [Benjamin Blaize] and the prisoner. Grounds for clemency: youth (17 years), first offence and previous good character. Initial sentence: 7 years transportation. Recommendation: no mercy. Folios 235-242.
