Murder trial recounts 18th century street affray at Crown and Thistle
The trial details the January assault on James Hayes in Central London, with John Symonds Bartholomew Knight and Wakefield accused of murder. Witnesses describe a barroom brawl, a deadly beating, and the subsequent illness and death of Hayes, while Bartholomew and Knight deny responsibility. The judge notes collective homicide liability under law.
Not Guilty and Death Sentences in Remarkable Trials
The court found two prisoners not guilty of murder in a case where jurists weighed whether they aided Symonds in the fatal attack on Hayes. The trial also heard a Forgery verdict against Robert Ladbrook Trout, who forged drafts for substantial sums and was found guilty, with death as the sentence. Thomas Curtis faced charges for taking a wife while another was alive, defended by a rambling speech before a judge who condemned the defense as irrelevant.
