• Thomas Staines was convicted of horse theft. The court proceedings were listed in the NORTHAMPTON MERCURY 1835
  Samuel Dawes & Thomas Steanes were indicted for stealing a gelding, at Welford, belonging to John Biggs. Mr.Hall appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Humfrey, Mr.Waddington, and Mr. Miller for the defence.
  John Biggs resides at Welford, in this county. On the 18th of March last, he lost a brown gelding. He first missed it on the morning of the 19th, and saw it again in the evening of that day at Foster's Wharf.
  John Hefford, shepherd to the prosecutor, stated that he saw the pony about five o'clock on the evening of the 18th, he missed it the next morning. The other horse that was with him remained in the close.
  William Bland is in the service of Miss Charlotte Foster, at Husband's Bosworth. On the 18th of March last, he saw the prisoner, Dawes. It was ten minutes before ten. Dawes asked the hour. He had some ale, and left the house about ten minutes or a quarter past ten. He said he was going to Kilworth. Witness's mistress spoke to witness, and he followed Dawes out, and saw him go up the road. He went to a gate leading to a hovel, and whistled. A signal was made from the hovel, and Dawes went down to it. Witness followed till within a few yards. A white dog came out barking. Knows this dog. It belonged to prisoner. An explosion in the hovel followed, like the firing a pistol, and Dawes said, "D- it, Tom, knock it on fast." There was a noise like hammering in the hovel. An answer was returned, "I will, as well as I can." Witness then went back to the house, and called out Mr. Holditch. Mr. Holditch went with witness to the hovel.
  There was a hammering then. Dawes stood by the door, and Steanes was by the pony. There was a light in the hovel. Steanes brought the pony out, and Dawes got upon it. Steanes stood on the off side. They went up to the gate, and witness followed and met them at the gate, and said, " Dawes, I want that pony, and the pony I'll have."
  Dawes rode off, and Steanes ran after him. Witness pursued them and shouted out, "Stop him! stop him" Witness overtook Steanes, and Dawes jumped off the pony, and went over the hedge, and across the fields. Witness caught the pony, and took it back to the public house, and tied it to the rail. He and Holditch and some other persons went to the hovel again, and found three horse shoes.
  On the following day, they went to Mr.Lafargue's, and as they were coming out, Dawes said, "Bill, you won't do me, will you?" Witness traced the marks of a horse that had been shod on the two near feet, from the hovel across Biggs's field.
  Mr. Humfrey severely cross-examined the witness, to ascertain whether he had not told Mr. Rose the magistrate that it was moonlight, and that Mr. Rose had taken out an almanac, and had found that the moon did not rise till an hour afterwards. The witness swore he had never said it was moonlight, but he admitted that Mr. Rose did take a book out of his pocket. He could not say whether that book was an Almanac, but Mr. Rose did say it was not moonlight.
  Mr. Waddington also severely cross-examined the witness, but nothing was elicited to shake his testimony.
  Wm. Holditch lives at Bosworth. On the evening in question, about half-past eight o'clock, he was at Miss Foster's, the Union Anchor public house. The prisoner Dawes came in that night, and went out about a quarter past ten. When he went out, Miss Foster told the last witness to go and see which way he went. Bland returned shortly after, and went out a second time. When he returned again Holditch went with him to the hovel. Before he got half way there, he heard a noise of shoeing in the hovel, and conversation. On getting nearer he saw a light in the hovel, and afterwards he saw Dawes ride away on the pony, and another person-to the best of his knowledge Steanes by his side When they got to the gate, he said to Bland, Stop them!" believing it to be his pony. He afterwards met Harday and Addison and one of them lent him a horse, and he rode after the prisoners. On his way, he met Bland with the pony.
  Cross-examined by Mr. Humfrey. Knows a person named William Bayle, living with Miss Foster. Will not swear he did not say he would give Bayle £5, if he would come and swear against Dawes.
  Charlotte Foster keeps the Union Anchor public house. Dawes came about a quarter to ten and left a quarter after. When Dawes came in, his shoes were very dirty.
  Samuel Smeeton, [This witness was objected to by the counsel for the defence, on the ground that he had been in court during part of the previous examinations. He was accordingly not examined.]
  William Woodford lives at Welford and is a Blacksmith by trade. Was desired,previously to Christmas last, to take some shoes off a horse belonging to Mr. Biggs. Observed the horse subsequently in a field when he had no shoes on. Saw him about a fortnight ago, and he then had two shoes on the two near feet. They were fresh put on, and in an unworkmanlike manner.
  Wm. Hill lives at South Kilworth. Knows the prisoner Steanes. Saw him at Mrs. Harday's, the Shoulder of Mutton, North Kilworth, on the evening of the 18th. He left about twenty minutes after nine.
  John Addison lives at North Kilworth. Went with Holditch and Bland to the hovel,
  and found three shoes there. Saw Steanes at one in the morning of the 19th, at Bosworth Wharf public house. Shewed the shoes to him, and asked him if he knew them. he said he knew one of them. it was his own make, and he could not think how it got out of his very much confused shop, as he had seen it there on the previous Wednesday morning. Steanes looked very much confused.
  The prisoner Dawes denied all knowledge of the robbery. He said, that, upon
  leaving the Union Anchor, he went home, and reached North Kilworth about ten o'clock.
  Steanes entered upon a long and very circumstantial history of his
  proceedings on the night in question. He said that, about eight in the evening. he was sent for to Mrs. Harday's, the Shoulder of Mutton, Kilworth.
  He reached his lodgings a few minutes before ten, and went to bed shortly after. Between ten and eleven his mother came to tell him that the Rev. Mr. Belgrave wanted him early in the morning to shoe some horses. At one his mother, again came to tell him to go down to Pickford's, to look at a sick horse. He went to the wharf, and found all fast, but on going into the house, where there were several persons, he was charged with shoeing the pony for Dawes. He denied all knowledge of the pony at the time, and after staying at the public house come time with the other company, he returned home to bed.
  In corroboration of these statements, the counsel for the prisoners called Thomas Williamson, a shepherd, at whose house Dawes slept on the night in question. He said Dawes came home about ten o'clock. He added, that he went with Mr.Becke's clerk and a boy to the hovel, on Monday night last. They took a horse and a candle and witness stood outside to ascertain whether it was possible to see through the furze which composed the back of the hovel. He could distinguish the glimmerings of the light, but nothing else.
  Wm. Bayle, a lad in the employ of Miss Foster, stated that the witness Holditch had said, that if he (Bayle) knew anything about the concern, he would pull him through, and give him £5.
  Mrs. Hannah Harday, who keeps the Shoulder of Mutton at North Kilworth, corroborated that part or Steane's statement which referred to his being at her house.
  William Morton, a cooper, left Steanes at the Shoulder of Mutton at half past nine. After he had left he met the witness Bland on the road. He was running and witness called to him that he was late. He believed he said," Cut it - twig him." A good deal of laughter was occasioned by this witness, on his cross examination. On the Learned Counsel asking him whether the ale which he had taken was not very good, He replied that "it was fairish; as good, he supposed, as could be afforded for the money. If the gentlemen had taken the malt tax off, it might have been better." On leaving the witness-box he hoped the gentlemen would take into consideration what he had said about the malt tax.
  Eliz. Pebody said she saw Steanes about five minutes before ten o'clock, near Mrs. Lee's at North Kilworth.. Sarah Steanes, the mother of the prisoner, corroborated that part of her son's testimony which had reference to herself.
  Alice Marten, a servant of Mrs. Lee’s where the prisoner Steanes lodged, said he came home about ten, and shortly after went to bed.
  This closed the evidence. The chairman summed up, and the jury deliberated for a short time, and returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners, with a recommendation in favour of Steanes.
  The chairman said the act left him no discretion, and sentenced them to be transported for the full term of their natural lives.
