ALLEGED HORSE-STEALING IN NORFOLK.
On Wednesday, at the Diss Petty Sessions, before the Rev. H. T. Frere (chairman), the Rev. H. Bradley, and R. H. Crawshay, Esq.,
Edward Lovick, late of Fersfield, drover was charged on remand with stealing two geldings and one mare, the property of Frederick Smith, dealer, Fersfield, on the 15th inst.
Mr. Linay, Norwich, prosecuted.
Prosecutor said that on the 15th inst. prisoner was in his employ and went to Diss Market with him. They took eight ponies. Prosecutor sold one, and about eight o’clock in the evening he sent the prisoner with seven ponies to his (prosecutor's) father's at Fersfield. Prosecutor afterwards found four of the ponies on the road, but the prisoner was not with them, nor was he at the prosecutor’s father’s house. On the following day he was shown three ponies by the police which he identified as his property, and valued them at £21. Prisoner had been in witness’s employ since May 8th. He was not in partnership with the prisoner, nor did he tell him to take the ponies and make as much as he could of them. Prisoner did not sell one horse for him and take the money, nor did he allow him to take horses by the week to sell them.
Amos Watts, labourer, Redgrave, said that he was with prosecutors at Ipswich Fair, and he heard prisoner say that he would go to Bungay Fair for prosecutor and receive victuals as payment, as he had neither food nor money. He did not see prisoner sell a pony at Ipswich, nor did he remember prisoner trying to sell one to Mr. Cooke, of Kenninghall.
Henry Wade, labourer, Fersfield, said that he saw the prisoner with seven ponies near Fairweather’s workshop. He caught one, saddled and bridled it, and tied it up to a gate, and then caught two others and tied them up also. He then drove the other four in the direction of Fersfield Crown. When he returned he got on to the back of the one with the saddle and bridle, and rode away with the other two in the direction of Shelfanger.
P.C. Alfred Willkin, stated that on Sunday, the 17th inst., he went to Stoke Holy Cross, and in a lane there saw the prisoner with a number of ponies. Witness examined the ponies and the prisoner ran away. Witness afterwards found him concealed in a fence in a meadow. He took him into custody, and handed prisoner with the three ponies over to Sergt. Hammond.
In answer to the charge prisoner said, I was in co. with Smith.
The Magistrates committed prisoner for trial at the Sessions, bail being allowed, himself in £20 and two sureties of £10 each.
