John Gollocher, charged with stealing 8 sovereigns, 3 half sovereigns, and some silver, from the Blue Boar Inn, Presteign, Aug. 22nd, the property of M'Kee, licensed hawker.
Guilty.—Seven years' transportation.
The prisoner was suspected of a robbery at Ludlow, the Monday preceding, and in consequence of being undefended, evidence was received of the particulars of this robbery, although it had no bearing directly on the crime of which he was convicted. It is to be observed, that when the prisoner was taken up by the constable, only 4 sovereigns and some silver were found on his person; when taken to the gaol after his conviction, in consequence of the Governor having cause to suspect that he had swallowed the money, he was put into his usual cell, and after a short time he was stripped and removed to another cell, when, upon further search, the money, to the amount for which he was charged with stealing, was so found, that there was no doubt of his haying swallowed it. The Governor having made known the circumstance to the visiting Magistrates, they returned the money to the prosecutor.
