Sentenced to death with recommendation for mercy for stealing, on 21st November 1819, at Edmonton, one mare valued at 15 pounds, the property of William Cobbett. David Choat admitted his guilt at taking the horse as he wished to visit his ailing father. His evidence at the trial - 'I am Guilty, I took the mare on Sunday night from Cobbett's stable, rode away to Suffolk, about sixty miles, and stopped at Buckeridge for refreshment, and said, I was going to Cambridge, stopped about five miles from Cambridge, and said I was going to a clergyman with the mare. I rode across the country, and proceeded to Rattan, put up at the Red Lion, and told them it was my master's, Richard Gibson . I then went to my father's, stopped there, and said nothing about the mare. I was going to bring it home, and was afraid I should be apprehended with it. I was apprehended in coming home.'.
