William Smith per Grenada, in the service of government charged with theft at Messrs Powditch and Bouchers store. The warehouse man at Messrs Powditch & Co states ....Last night a man came to the shop and asked for an ounce of tobacco. I was engaged with some other customers at the time. He called in another man and they ran off with two iron pots. I cannot swear the prisoner is one of the men..... John Large, a constable states...I was near Messrs Powditch s house last night. There was an alarm given and I proceeded to search the neighbourhood. On the opposite side of the street, in the water course, I heard something like iron rattle, I went there and discovered the prisoner who had that evening absconded from the gaol gang. The warehouse man saw him in my custody and immediately recognised him as the man who had purchased the 1/2 ounce of tobacco. Charles Merriott, a constable states, I was present when the prisoner was taken into custody - two iron pots were found near him, they were claimed by Mr. Boucher. William Ogilvie states....I was at Messrs Powditch and Co shop last night on business. I recollect the prisoner coming there and asking for 1/2 ounce of tobacco. He called another man in and they picked up each an iron pot and ran off. The prisoner in his defence states, I got drunk in the course of the afternoon and went into the gully and fell asleep. I was found in that situation by the constable. I know nothing of the pots; I was never in Mr. Bouchers shop. Sentenced to 50 lashes
