Stenson the Highwayman brought up for further evidence
The case against the highwayman Stenson advances as new evidence emerges from Thomas Goodier of Manchester who details their Paris meeting, a London embarkation on the Harlequin, pistols found in Stenson’s possession, and a Manchester connection. Goodier identifies a hotel card bearing his name and traces Stenson’s movements from Paris to Boulogne and back to Manchester. Stenson, tall and strong, shows calm composure in court and is remanded for additional testimony.
