Description

Report of Nash Grose on 2 individual petitions (prisoner; and Thomas Harley) on behalf of Charles Philpott, indicted at the Herefordshire Lent Assizes on March 20 1792, for a burglary in the dwelling house of William Pooton at Bromyard, and stealing £3 and a pair of cotton stockings, property of Esther Cooke. Although charged with burglary the jury was doubtful whether the house might not have been broken open after it was daylight, and therefore acquitted the prisoner of the burglary and so he was found him guilty of stealing only. The prisoner is currently on the Prudentia hulk at Woolwich. Grounds for clemency: youth (26 years) and in good health and good behaviour whilst on the hulk, fit and healthy and wishes to serve in the HM. Navy. Initial sentence: 7 years transportation. Recommendation: no mercy. Folios 335-338.
