Dreadful Condition of the Penal Colonies Debate at Old Bailey
The first session of the fourth annual commission opened at Old Bailey with the lord mayor and officials. The grand jury sought depositions in a case against James Pennington and James Werbey for hops theft. Various indictments followed including libel disputes, lead pipe theft at Woolwich, a waste paper case, butter theft by a soldier, and silk velvet theft. A strong mercy recommendation capped a six month sentence for John Littlewood’s case. The court reflected on transportation and its harshness, with officials urging cautious use of such measures.
