GRO1191 Hennock: Joseph Pinsent: 1770 – 1835
Guildhall: On Thursday Hugh R. Macklin, Henry Osborne, Mary Macklin, and Susannah Paul, were brought up before Sir Chapman Marshall for further examination. charged with stealing a gold chain, value 20 guineas, two silver spoons, a large quantity of wearing apparel, together with a very valuable collection of Roman cameos, jewellery, and other articles of virtue, the property of Mrs. Pincent, at present residing at Inspruck. The case was briefly stated to the alderman as follows: — The female prisoner (Macklin) and Henry Osborne were in the service of Dr. Tilt, of York-street, Portman-square. About two months ago, eight boxes, which contained a considerable amount of property of various descriptions, and which were in Dr. Tilt’s kitchen (having been deposited in his care by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Pincent, about four years previously), were broken open by the prisoners Osborne and the two Macklins, and the most valuable of the property abstracted therefrom. Subsequently Osborne left the service of Dr. Tilt, and soon after Hugh Macklin and Susannah Paul were given into custody on suspicion, for attempting to pledge the chain and the spoons for a very trifling amount. The following day Osborne came forward for the purpose of exculpating the two prisoners who were then in custody, and he was also detained. When Mary Macklin appeared to vouch for his character, which led to her apprehension a few days after, she confessed all she knew relative to the robbery. On the last examination Susannah Paul was admitted to bail, because the alderman considered she was the least guilty party, having been led into the attempt to pledge the articles by the prisoner Hugh Macklin. The following was the additional evidence taken on Thursday: — George Wardell said he went to No. 26, Chancery-lane, the house of a Mr. Toogood, where he saw Hugh Macklin’s sister-in-law, who immediately placed the cameo in his possession which Mary Macklin stated she gave her. She was unable to attend and give evidence in consequence of ill health. The officer produced the cameo, which was of the most exquisite workmanship, and without any setting. He had inquired at various jewellers and ascertained its value in its present state to be about five guineas. He also produced several duplicates of some articles of dress which had been given to the husband of the prisoner Paul by Hugh Macklin. He wished the alderman to remand the prisoners for a week, as there was a party implicated in the robbery who was not at present in custody, and whom it would be necessary to obtain time to apprehend, as also for the purpose of tracing the remainder of the property which had been stolen. Bail was again taken for Susannah Paul, and the case was remanded for a week for further evidence.
