Trial recount of Barrington watch theft and conviction
The case centers on Barrington accused of stealing a watch in a crowded booth near a racecourse. Witnesses including Mr Townsend and his coachman testified the watch was dropped in the booth and later found, with the prisoner denying the act until the jury found him guilty. The judge urged mercy, noting that capital punishment would not align with justice. Barrington was sent back to Newgate.
