Trial of Joshua Jones Ashley for club robberies ends in transport
Central Criminal Court heard Joshua Jones Ashley aged thirty five, once an agent and banker in Regent Street, tried for larceny of four spoons and a fork from the Junior United Service Club and later for eight spoons stolen from the Army and Navy Club. Evidence showed initial verdict of guilty on identity only, leading to transportation for seven or more years as the court found insufficient proof of house ownership but upheld the theft of club property.

A fragmented verse by an assistant surgeon of the nineteenth century recalls a fallen warrior. The lament laments stiff muscles dry skin and a silent thorax while the epiglottis remains still and life ends in battle. The piece preserves archaic spellings and training language.
