Old Baile Trial of Sohn Wale for Extortion by False Pardon Promise
Sohn Wale was tried on an indictment for a misdemeanor in extorting money by false pretenses from Mary Austace. He claimed he could procure a pardon for her husband, Joseph Austace, a felon, and obtained about two guineas amid fabrications of offices and MPs signatures. The court heard she pawned goods to raise funds while she had six children to support. He was found guilty after the chief clerk testified no pardon had been granted and the process involved the Secretary of State’s office. The Recorder said the offense was heinous and would consider punishment.
