Grounds for clemency: previous good character, the prisoner was led astray by another man, a stranger to the prisoner, named Ball who often stayed at the inn run by the prisoner's mother, the prisoner often changed notes for him but did not know the notes were forgeries, it was Ball who suggested the prisoner go to Staffordshire (Wednesbury), the constable apprehended the prisoner by mistake when he was seeking Ball - who has now absconded, a letter has been sent by Ball stating the prisoner's innocence. Initial sentence: transportation[?] currently on board the Captivity hulk. Recommendation: speaks against mercy. Folios 414-420.
