Some Selected Reports from The Windsor and Eton Express
Saturday, April 9, 1831.
WINDSOR & ETON.
COLNBROOK EASTER FAIR.- This fair was held on Tuesday and was tolerably well attended. There was an average show of cattle. The sheep were particularly good, especially those of Mr. Jennings and Mr. Pullen. The supply of horses was small, and those of an inferior quality; purchasers were proportionably scanty. Fine two-year old .... fetched 47s.
BUCKS.- On Monday last a vestry was held at Aylesbury church, for the purpose of appointing churchwardens for the ensuing year. The chair having been taken by the Rev. John Morley, Vicar, Mr. Thomas Dell, previous to any appointment being made, begged leave to ask whether, in the event of Mr. Jackson's being again chosen, the Vicar's Churchwarden would act in conjunction with him, as he had declined acting with him during the previous year, and the parish had thus been deprived of the services of a Churchwarden.- Mr. John Gibbs observed, that he considered it fair to state his intention of again putting Mr. Jackson in nomination. - Mr. Fowler replied, that he would this year act with the churchwarden that might be appointed by the parish, and gave his reasons for having declined acting during the past. The Rev. Gentleman then, for the eleventh time, appointed Mr. John Kersley Fowler as his churchwarden.- Mr. Thomas Wheeler then proposed Mr. Robt. Key as a proper person to serve the office of churchwarden, which was seconded by Mr. James Sheriff.- Mr. John Gibbs then proposed Mr. Jasper Jackson, which nomination was seconded by Mr. Wm. Winfield. A show of hands being called for, and declared to be in favour of Mr. Jackson, a poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Key. Mr. W.H. Poole was unanimously appointed poll clerk, and the Rev. Chairman having quitted the Chair, Mr. Phillip Payne was unanimously called upon to fill the same. The poll was kept open until fifteen minutes past one, when it finally closed (no vote having been tendered since one minute before twelve.) Mr. Jackson was then declared duly elected, the numbers standing thus :- For Mr. Jackson 66, Mr. Key 21.- It is a remarkable circumstance that Mr. Jackson has thus within the short space of a year been three times elected churchwarden of the parish of Aylesbury, and upon each occasion by a large majority. The result of these elections proves the prevalence of liberal opinions amongst the inhabitants, as Mr.Jackson has throughout his life been a staunch friend of civil and religious liberty, and a decided supporter of Parliamentary Reform. The bells during the greater part of the afternoon rang a merry peal in celebration of his re-election.
At the Magistrates Chamber Aylesbury, on Saturday, Jesse Halsey was fully committed for trial, charged with stealing a quantity of barley, the property of Mr. Benjamin Biggs, of Cublington. - William Thomas, of Stoke Manderville, was committed (in default of paying eleven shillings) for fourteen days, on a charge of assaulting John King, at a beer house at Terrick, in the parish of Ellesborough. It appeared that there were twelve persons from the former place, as well as seven from other places (many of whom were drunk), in the house at the time when the assault was committed, which was on Sunday the 27th of February.

WINDSOR BOROUGH EASTER SESSIONS.
These quarter Sessions were held yesterday (Friday), at the Town Hall, before John Banister, Esq Mayor, J. Church, Esq Justice, and Sir Giffin Wilson, Knt Recorder. The following gentlemen were also upon the Bench :- The Rev. Isaac Gosset, Messrs. Snowden, W. Clode, Bedborough, Jenner, John Clode, Blunt, and Bovingdon.
The names of the following gentlemen were called over by the TOWN CLERK to serve upon the Grand Jury :- Messrs. Alder, Adcock, Brown (J.B.), Bradley, Chapman, Fox, Ford, George, Hilliard, Hawkins, Hughes, Lester, Lillywhite, Lovegrove, Mansel, Mason, Morton, Perkins, Portus, Pasmore, Ray, Shapley, Thumwood, Wilmer, Webster. - Mr. Mason was chosen foreman.
Mr. Portus claimed exemption on the ground of his being gunner of Windsor Castle.
The TOWN CLERK - Does your duty as gunner to Windsor Castle require your daily personal attendance ?
Mr. Portus - I cannot say I am actually employed every day, but I am liable to be called upon at any hour to answer questions, and when so called upon it is imperative that I should appear.
The TOWN CLERK - If you can prove that you have a positive military employment, you can claim exemption, but certainly not otherwise. Have you, sir, a positive daily duty to perform ?
Mr. Portus - I apprehend that the reasons I have stated are sufficient to show that I could not engage in any business, either for myself of others, however advantageous it might appear. Besides, I have a building of stores in my charge.
The Bench decided that Mr Portus was entitled to his exemption on the grounds stated.
The Proclamation against vice and immortality having been read by the TOWN CLERK -
The RECORDER briefly addressed the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury. He was sorry, he said, to communicate to them that there was a larger calendar of indictments about to be preferred than it was customary to meet with in this jurisdiction. There was nothing, however, in the nature of those cases to call for particular observation.
The Grand Jury then retired to consider of the several bills, and one or two of the gentlemen on the list were admonished by the Court for want of punctual attendance.
The Grand Jury having retired, the Petit Jury was sworn, after which the following cases were called on.
LARCENY.
HENRY HOOK, labourer, of New Windsor, was charged with stealing a great coat, the property of Stephen Clargo.
Stephen Clargo, the prosecutor, an elderly working man, said - I live at Bucklersbury, Berkshire; I was at Windsor on Sunday the 23rd of January. I was at the Anchor down against the bridge. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon I lost my coat from off the settle in the tap. I left it for just two minutes while I went for a parcel at the bar. When I went back the parcel was gone; there were several persons in the room at the time. The prisoner was not among them, but I saw his face in the glass.
RECORDER - You saw him coming in then; eh ?
Witness - No. I did'nt though; how could I ? (A laugh.) I only saw his face through the window.
RECORDER.- Did you see your coat again in the course of the day ? - Witness : I sent the constable after him, and he brought him back presently with the coat on his back. He asked where the old gentleman was (that's me), that he might give him the coat : he said he had only taken it in a lark, but I don't believe I should have ever seen it again if I had'nt kept the rest of them close locked up in the kitchen. (A laugh.)
Hammerton (the constable) here produced the great coat, which he had had in his possession ever since. He was called for to the public house respecting the coat. He was standing at the door with Mr. Rolfe, when he saw the prisoner coming down the street with the coat on his back; he came up to the house and entered it. He said he had come to bring the coat back again, when Mr. Rolfe gave charge of him, and he was taken before the Mayor.
RECORDER - Now Mr. Clargo is that you great coat ? - Witness : Is that my great cost ? Yes it is, I'll swear it is.
--- Rolfe, landlord of the Crown and Anchor, deposed, that previous to the apprehension of the prisoner, a man was taken into custody on suspicion; when they said in the tap-room - "That's not the man, but the coat will be here in a minute." There were at the time eight or nine persons in the room. Presently after the prisoner made his appearance.
The Prisoner being called upon for his defence, said - "I was very much intoxicated in liquor at the time, and I's sartin sure that I did not take away the old man's coat with the intention of stealing it." The prisoner did not call any witnesses, and the Recorder summed up the case very minutely, dwelling principally on the public manner in which the coat was taken, and the short time it was kept by the prisoner before he returned it. The Jury were deliberating on their verdict, when Clargo said - May I just say one word to you gentleman ?
RECORDER - No, not now. It would be quite irregular. I know very well what you would say. I might wish to say the same thing, if I were placed in your situation; and I am sure that, if in mine, you would give me a similar answer to that which I have just given you.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty
The prosecutor then got into the witness box, and applied to the Court for his expenses. He was a poor man, he said, and had travelled upwards of thirty miles.- The Court immediately granted the application.
JOSEPH WILKINS a lad about 16 years of age, of New Windsor, labourer, was charged with stealing one live cock, value 1s. on the 14th January, the property of Thomas Sevenoaks, of Hibberd's Alley.
The Prosecutor deposed, that he missed three fowls on the 15th instant, two game cocks, and one hen : saw one of them on the following day, at Mrs. Kaywood's of Garden Court; it was then dead; the prisoner was apprehended in consequence; on his examination before the Mayor, the prisoner said, that he bought it from a stranger under the market house. It was a cock (added the prosecutor) I have the skin. (A laugh).
RECORDER - Could you from the skin speak of the identity of the fowl ?
Witness - Yes I can : though the private mark which I put on the fowl, was taken off by the man who skinned it.
Henry Toovey, stated that he lived in Bier lane, Garden court, that he was in the employ of John Cox of Datchet. The Prisoner asked him (witness) if he would buy the fowl; it was dead at the time; could not swear that that skin belonged to the fowl in question. Was examined by the Mayor.
RECORDER.- What did you say before the Mayor, Sir ? - I said what I thought right. (A laugh.)
RECORDER.- You have set your mark to your deposition, have you not ?
Witness. - No. (A laugh.)
RECORDER.- Yes sir, you did : now mind what you say; be careful; you put your mark to the deposition, stating, that you believed the fowl produced on the examination, was the one you bought of the prisoner.
Witness.- I couldn't exactly say.
RECORDER.- Where was it you bought the fowl ? - In Thames street, between eight and nine o'clock at night.
Keziah Heywood, stated that the last witness, who is called Jack the Wheeler, lives at her house; on the 14th or 15th of January, he brought home a cock, which witness delivered up to Mr. Sevenoaks when he called for it.
Prisoner being asked what he had to say, merely stated that he bought the fowl, but declined to say of whom.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty; but recommended him to mercy.
The RECORDER - Upon what ground ?
Mr. Isaac Clegg (the Foreman).- Because he is a very young man, and the Jury understand that this is the first time he was ever placed in a similar situation.
RECORDER - The Jury are very sensible in having so good a reason to give for their recommendation to mercy. It shall be attended to.
Sentence to be confined to the Borough gaol for one month.
[It appears, however, that the prisoner had before been committed from this Court.]
JOSEPH HENSON, a labourer in this Borough, was charged with stealing one pair of ancle shoes, the property of Samuel Floyd, on the 2nd of April.
Samuel Floyd, of Brentford End, in the parish of Isleworth, deposed that he frequents Windsor market with shoes; was in the market on the 2nd instant; has a stall in the market, upon which the articles were displayed. About four o'clock in the afternoon, a man named Morris, ran by him and struck him on the back; he was running after the prisoner, whom he overtook, and the shoes then produced (witness's property) were found in his basket.
Johnson, the officer, deposed that he received the shoes from Floyd, at the Mayor's house.
Floyd, re-examined, stated that he had never before sold any shoes of the present description in Windsor market.
[Ann Horton, one of the prisoners against whom a true bill had been found, went into strong convulsions, and was taken out of Court.]
Martin Morris, haberdasher, keeps a stall at the market near the prosecutor's, confirmed the statement of the last witness.
Prisoner - When before the Mayor you said you did not see me steal the shoes, but only saw them in the basket.- Morris - It's very right; I did so. I did not wish to hurt you before I was put on my oath. But when I was sworn I was obliged to speak the truth.
Prisoner, in his defence, said that was in the market not long before mending umbrellas : he did not know how the shoes came in the basket. He called no witnesses, and stated that he got his bread with a grinding barrow.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty - Sentence, 3 months hard labour at the County House of Correction.
JOHN DAVENPORT was arraigned, for breaking into the premises of Mr. Peirce, on Wednesday morning, February 23rd, situated near the Market house, Windsor.
Thomas Peirce, jun. sworn. Was coming home, after having spent the evening out, about one o'clock on the morning in question; and previous to this going him it suggested itself to him to look to the premises, which his father had lately left as a dwelling, and then used as a warehouse, to see if all was safe, property having previously been stolen from there. On trying the cellar door he found it gave way easily, and in pulling it further, a man jumped out, whom he pursued into Church street, calling to the watchman for assistance : the man was at length captured, the prisoner at the bar was that person.
Thomas Peirce, the elder, the prosecutor, sworn. Was in the house on Tuesday morning, previous to the prisoner's breaking into it, every thing was then, to all appearance safe. Upon his being called by his son on Wednesday morning, and made acquainted with the affair, he went over the house again, and discovered that several articles had been removed from where he had placed them, and placed on a canvas wrapper, apparently preparing to be tied up for the convenience of removing; and in going in again, later in the morning, and making a more minute survey, he found a quantity of goods tied up in a handkerchief. Had known the prisoner for several years, but never employed him. The prosecutor begged the Court to be as lenient to him as possible for the sake of his aged mother.
Charles Steel, watchman, assisted in taking the prisoner in Church street, the prisoner observed when in custody that there were two or three in the house at that time, but witness replied that a "Bird in the hand was worth two in the Bush," and caged him accordingly. Guilty. Two years imprisonment and kept to hard labor.
ANN HORTON was indicted for stealing two gold rings on the 29th of March, the property of her mistress, Mrs. M'Bean. This case was delayed for a considerable time in consequence of the girl's repeatedly going into fits, a complaint to which it was stated she was subject. When recovered and brought into Court she pleaded guilty to the charge. The prosecutrix did not appear against the prisoner. The Recorder rebuked her severely for the cruelty of her conduct in allowing a fellow servant to be discharged for an offence of which she was wholly innocent, the prisoner herself being the thief. Sentence. One month's imprisonment.
Two or three persons appeared to answer charges of assault, but as the prosecutors did not appear they were discharged.
BERKS EASTER SESSIONS.- The Easter Sessions were held at Newbury, on Tuesday and Wednesday, before T. Goodlake, Esq Chairman, and the following magistrates :- The Marquis of Downshire, Earl Carnarvon, Sir M. Ximenes, Col. Blagrave, J. Bowles, P. Brown, E.B. Bunny, G.H. Cherry, and M.H. Court, Esquires; Rev. Messrs. Cherry, Cove, and Nelson; T. Duffield, E. Gardiner, T. Greenwood, J. Hallett, J. Hayward, C.A. Houblon, G. Mitford, J.B. Monck, W. Mount, Esquires; R.

Thomas Thomas was indicted for stealing a quantity of oats, the property of Mr. James Cowdery, of East Hendred.- Guilty - three months imprisonment.
Philip Woodhouse alias Johnson was indicted for stealing from Mr. Robert Aldridge, of Newbury, a pair of half boots.
The prosecutor in a shoemaker living in Church-lane, Newbury. The shoes were temptingly displayed outside the shop - and asked the price of a pair of shoes, but did not buy them. The prosecutor's wife, who was in the shop, saw the prisoner leave the shop with a pair of shoes; she followed him and took the shoes from him, and "wapped" them about his head. The prisoner was found guilty, and a certificate of a former conviction for sheep stealing having been produced, was sentenced to transportation for life.
Thomas Butler was then charged with having in the night of the 2d of Feb. at Kintbury, stolen a blanket, a sheet, and other articles, the property of William Milsom; but the Jury, after a few minutes consideration, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Isaac Sandford was indicted for stealing a quantity of potatoes from a pit in the garden of Joseph Golding, at Wantage.- Guilty.- The prisoner having been convicted of felony in 1823, was sentenced to transportation for life.
John Redhead, a boy of 12 years of age, was indicted for stealing five shillings from the house of Charles Painton, at Fyfield. The prisoner was found Guilty, and the Jury recommended him to mercy on account of his tender years.
The CHAIRMAN, as visiting magistrate of the gaol in which the prisoner had been confined, stated, that this was the second time he had been charged with such an offence, and that his conduct in gaol had been of the worst description; and that he was a most incarrigible little rogue.
The prisoner exhibited the utmost indifference during the trial. He was sentenced to be whipped and sent home to his parish, and the Chairman said he would endeavour to get him in to the sea-service.
Charlotte Hughes - woman with a child in her arms, and Elizabeth Wheeler, were indicted for stealing faggots at Windsor. The prisoners were neatly dressed and seemed rather above the lowest class; a number of faggots having been lost from a large pile, the keeper was ordered to watch; on the day laid in the indictment he followed the track of some persons from the pile, and overtook the prisoner with some faggots.- The prisoners said they had gathered the wood. - The CHAIRMAN said he regretted such a case was sent to the sessions.- It appeared that the wood found on the prisoners was tied in bundles, and the Jury acquitted the prisoners.
STOKE POGIS APPELLANTS; EAST HAGBOURNE, RESPONDENTS.
This was an appeal against the removal of a pauper.
The pauper deposed to his being hired at Wallingford fair on new Michaelmas day by Mr. Thompson, of Stoke, for the year. He went to service a day after Old Michaelmas day, and went away on the day after New Michaelmas day, and was paid his full wages. On his cross examination, the pauper said he told Mr. Botham something about a pair of shoes, but will swear he did not say he would go back and swear he belonged to other parish, if Mr.B. would give him a pair of shoes - Ann Jarvis and another witness swore that the hiring was for a year.
Mr TALFOURD appeared, with extreme regret, to bring forward testimony to prove that the witnesses had introduced the hiring for a year to gain a settlement for the pauper in the parish of Stoke Pogis. He charged the whole of the witnesses with the grossest perjury.
Mr. Thompson deposed that he hired the pauper at Wallingford Fair, from Old Michaelmas, 1825, to New Michaelmas 1826. He made a memorandum of the hiring in his pocket book, at the time (The book was produced.) "Thomas Savage, at 5s per week, and �4 from Old Michaelmas, 1825, to New Michaelmas, 1826." The man left on the day after New Michaelmas day. He was not in the habit of hiring for a year. He did before, but not of late.
Mr. Botham sworn.- Saw the pauper soon after his removal. He was spreading dung in the field. He said, "If you will give me some shoes, or money to buy some, I will go back and swear I belong to the other parish." I remonstrated with him, and admonished him as to the nature of an oath. I talked in a very serious manner to him. I do not know the day.
William Gardiner sworn - Mr. Thompson said before the Magistrates he hired me for a year.
Mr. TALFOURD considered this witness most strongly corroborated the charge of conspiracy - Orders quashed.
Stoke Pogis, appellants; East Hagbourn, respondents.- This was an appeal against the removal of Thomas Thame, who was hired by Mr. Thompson at the time and place mentioned in the last case.
The evidence of the pauper proved the hiring, &c. as described in the last case. He was quite sure he was hired by the year, and was to have two pounds at the end of the year.
Cross-examined - Did not mention that his time was not up, when Mr Thompson discharged him on the day after New Michaelmas day.- The witnesses for the last case were brought forward, and proved the same facts.
Mr. TALFOURD read the original pencil marks in Mr. Thompson's book. "Thos. Thame lives at Mr -----, of Hagbourn, five shillings a week, and two pounds at Michaelmas, 1826;" - and called Mr. Thompson, who proved the hiring of the pauper till Michaelmas.
Mr. SHEPPARD cross-examined the witness at very great length. - Capt. GARDINER and the Rev. Mr. CHERRY severally commented upon the manner in which the witness gave his evidence.- Order confirmed.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE WINDSOR EXPRESS.
Wednesday, April 6th, 1831.
SIR,- Having seen a statement in your paper of last Sunday, that two requisitions for an address to the King, signed by some of the most respectable inhabitants of the town, in favor of the Reform Bill, had been suppressed by influence coming from a "certain quarter," - I deem it right to call the attention of the public to this monstrous abuse of power, alike destructive of the rights and privileges of Englishmen; and which, if the inhabitants are silently to submit, to will degrade them to a race of hereditary bondmen. I ask, Sir, if it be not due to the character of the town - if it be not due to the respect we owe to both our representatives, who, it is well known, are staunch advocates for the measure - that some notice should be taken of this extraordinary proceeding, and some endeavour made to find out who has been the cause of stifling the political sentiments of this portion of his Majesty's subjects, and keeping them from the ear and knowledge of their monarch ? What ! when the King's Ministers, sanctioned by their master, have brought into Parliament a measure of Reform that has met with the according and almost unanimous voice of the whole nation; and petitions in favor of it have been carried from nearly every county and town in the kingdom; - shall this borough, so classically connected with Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights, be the last to come forward in support of the Measure ? and after, at the eleventh hour, having attempted to do so, shall they be frustrated in their wishes, and beaten, perhaps, by the mere ipse dixit of one or two bigoted ultra-Tory individuals and sincurists, who, in the true spirit of serving that party, have suppressed the political opinions of those who are domiciled near the throne, and from this circumstance, make it seem to appear to the world that this great measure has not the sanction of his Majesty's countenance ! As an humble individual, I have taken the liberty of addressing this letter to you, begging its insertion in your columns, in the hope of awaking my fellow townsmen to a knowledge of what is due to themselves, and trust by another requisition they will come forward to advocate the cause of Reform; which is not revolution, but the universal uprising of a great nation against flagrant and inveterate abuses in the chief branch of the Legislature. I remain, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
A TOWNSMAN OF NEW WINDSOR.
