They have since converted the blankets to various purposes making bags, and cutting off strips to bind round their legs. The Woollen they now have wrapt round their legs if part of the blankets. James Crofts further states - I found a rope on Lewis Collins the day before yesterday. I asked him where he got it. He refused to tell me but said he meant to sell it. I had heard that the signal halyard had been stolen from the cutter Eclipse - I have no doubt the rope I found on him belongs to that vessel...Sentences - Lewis Collins 50 lashes. The others 25 lashes each

Old Bailey - Bank Forgeries - Yesterday morning 15 persons were put to the Bar charged with having forged Bank notes in their possession knowing them to be forged. They severally pleaded guilty to the minor offence. Mr. Reynolds stated to the Jury that the Governor and Directors of the Bank did not mean to offer any evidence on the capital charge. They had with the most painful anxiety considered every case, and were inclined in each of them, to be as lenient as possible conceiving they might safely be so, with a due regard at the same time to public safety and public protection. The prisoners are severally subjected to fourteen years transportation
