THOMAS SORRELL, Theft: grand larceny, 14th September 1826
1526. THOMAS SORRELL was indicted for stealing, on the 26th of June , 1 hat, value 3s., and a bonnet, value 2s. , the goods of William Free .
EMILY FREE . I am the wife of William Free - we live in Montague-street, Brick-lane . On the evening of the 26th of June, I had a hat and a bonnet, tied to a chair, in my little parlour, near the window, which was open - a person might have got them by opening the blind.
CHARLOTTE KAYE . I live in Montague-street, and was looking into this shop window, because there was a room to let; I saw a young man put the blind open, and take the hat and bonnet out; he gave it to another young man - they ran down Brown's-lane; I am not certain that it was the prisoner.
JOHN FREE. I was sitting on the counter, and heard an alarm, ran out, and the prisoner tapped me on the shoulder, and said, "It is of no use your going that way, they are gone this way."
ROBERT DAVIS . I am an officer. On Monday, the 26th of June, between nine and ten o'clock at night, I saw a crowd of persons round the prisoner - I took him to a public-house - Charlotte Kaye came and said, (without hesitation,) he was the man.
CHARLOTTE KAYE. I thought so then, but I do not think so now - no one has been talking to me about it.
NOT GUILTY .

Mention of William Coventon - Old Bailey, 13th September 1827
JAMES WHITE was indicted for stealing, on the 4th of August . 5 handkerchiefs, value 10s. , the goods of Thomas Dexter .
WILLIAM COVENTON . I am in the employ of Thomas Dexter - he is a pawnbroker , and lives in Whitechapel-road. On the 4th of August I saw the prisoner take these five handkerchiefs off the ground - I cannot tell how they came there; I had hung them up in the morning on a book, about two yards within the shop; it was between two and three o'clock; he stood just outside and reached in - he had not been in the shop; I followed him, stopped him, and asked what he had got in his hat - he said nothing. I told him a person had seen him put some handkerchiefs into his hat, and desired him to come back - he said he would; he turned, and came back a few steps - he then gave me the handkerchiefs out of his hat, and wished me to leave him - I said"No, I will take you back;" he kept dodging me about, and then ran away. I pursued, called for assistance, and some gentleman stopped him, and took him to my master's, who gave him in charge.(Property produced and sworn to.)
GUILTY . Aged 30., Transported for Seven Years .
