Notes
- Proceedings of the Old Bailey - William Ragan, theft: Simple grand larceny, 2 December 1795.
Burton Kemp's testimony: "I lost a hand saw, a plane, a square, and a cloth jacket, from a building near the Foundling-hospital that is uninhabited: On 23rd of October I went home to dinner, between twelve an one o'clock; when I returned I missed the things; I was at work in the building in the course of a week after; I went to several pawnbrokers to endeavour to find my tools; at last I went to one in Leather-lane, and found the square and plane."
The jacket had already been sold and the saw pawned to another pawnbroker. Jonathan Fullwood, the pawnbroker from Leather-lane, said that he had often taken carpenter's tools from William Raglan. He produced a plane and a square.
Burton then said "These are my property; I made the square myself; the plane I have had six or seven years."
James Lowe, the pawnbroker from Clerkenwell-green produced the saw which Burton identified.
The twenty-five year old, William, was found guilty and sentenced to six months imprisonment in the house of correction, and fined 1s.
