HOME CIRCUIT, HERTFORD; arc.....&_. ...:
[ _. .7,oiat Th..i.;; waa•iiittcted. for. an asseirlt upon_
.fames Fordham, on the 4tliof July, at Standon.
The prisoner was;a blacksmith residing at Stan-
' ,1/4m and possessed 'a fame:jackdaw, upon which
'he itifirtshs,6o, s",-,upo4-1/44-41;a0.,Lile.
,favot companion-tit
rite compann-of .... ,isure hours. This jack-
daw oreasiOnally Strayed' - m home;. and having
;11115
done so on the day in question, had seated himself
upon' a -tree in -a• Village, from which he was knocked
Owl* by seine' mischievous passenger, and was
pieced:. up by the prosecutor, a poor boy in the
parish. The prisoner haying missed his favourite,
went in search of it, and came up with the pro-
secutor just as he had secured his prize. He claimed
-it as his own, but the proSeCutor refused to deliver
it up, and a scale ensued, which terminated in the
destruction of the unhappy jackdaw, which the pro-
secutor, finding it to be dead, threw in the prisoner's
face and ran away. About an hour afterwards the
parties met again, when the. prisoner saying, ' " Now
I'll teach you to remember my poor jackdaw," laid
hold of the prosecutor, and " gave ,him a good
leathering.", This was the assault complained of.
• The prisoner was found " Guilty," and ordered
to pay a fine of 6d., upon payment of which be was
discharged.
Charles Parker, a lad of 17, was indicted for a
highway robbery on John Crane, on the 20th of
August, at Hertford.
The prosecutor, Crane,•was a limeburner at Ware,.
and on the day in question went to Hertford, where
lie sold some lime, and received the money for it.
In the evening he was drinking in the Crown and
Thigtle public-house, where the prisoner also was,
and while there he pulled out his watch to ascer-
tain the time, which the prisoner observed. There
was some difference of opinion among the witnesses
as to whether Crane was sober when he left the
public-house, which was about eleven, and
it did not appear very clearly whether the prisoner
went away before or' after him.. • Crane had known
the prisoner from,a child. When he had got about
a mile on his way to Ware, two men rushed out of
a hedge upon Crane. One knocked him down
with a tremendous blow of a bludgeon, then knelt
on his stomach, squeezed his throat, and forced a
handkerchief into his mouth and over his eyes, and
so held him, while the other robbed him of his purse •
and his watch.. They then both ran away. Crane
got home without his bat, and the next day had the
prisoner apprehended. The prisoner did not.sleep
at his usual lodgings on the, night in question, and
he was seen at five the next morning on the road
from Ware to Hertford, and near to the latter plse.
Nothing was found upon the prisoner's person, or
at his lodgings. The prosecutor, on his cross-exa-
mination, awore most positively to the prisoner's
preisorso:lel.r
Guilty—Death.
The
cath.
The Jury, after deliberating some time, found the
p .The Learned JuDar was perfectly satisfied With
the verdict. The prisoner's .life would be spared ;
but as 'he had ascertained that, young as he was,
only 17, he was an old offender, and the head of a
desperate gang that infested the. neighbourhood of
Hertford, he must prepare hiinself to leave this coun-
try, never to return to-it more. . .
There was no other case of any interest tried to-
day. The prisoners in the gaol amount altogether
to above 40, among whom are several,charged with
rape, with burglary, and with highway robbery. It
is thought that it will lie with difficulty their Lord-
ships will get through the calendar, so as to arrive
at Chelmsford on ;Wednesday, in time enough to
open the commission there.
111 r. Justice PARK, in the course of his charge to
the Grand Jury,
.made some strong observations
upon the beneficial results likely to arise from the in-
stitutions lately formed in' the counties of Kent and
Surrey, for the reception and -employment of crimi-
nals on their discharge at the expiration of their
terms- of imprisonment; of one of which institutions
he announced himself to be a Vice-President, and to
the other a subscriber, and his Lordship pointedly sug-
gested to the Grand Jury the propriety of forming a
similar inst4Ution in this County.
