The Era, Sunday 12 December, 1858.
Southwark. Conviction of an Old Pott-stealer.
George Baker,a middle-aged man, was finally examined, charged with
stealing 3 pint pots, the property of various publicans.
Dennis Scanlon, 177M, an active detective officer, said that on
Wednesday week, about 4 o'clock, he met the prisoner in Suffolk Street,
and suspecting him he stopped him and asked him what he had about in. He
replied "Nothing," but on searching him he found two pint pewter pots in
his coat pocket, and one in his trousers pocket. The bottoms were cut
off and put inside the pots, which were doubled up so as to lie flat in
his pockets. He took him into custody and had since then ascertained the
owners.
Mr. Williams, the landlord of the "Lord Wellington" public house, Old
Kent Road, identified one of the pots as his property.
The landlord of the "Asylum Tavern" identify the second, and the
landlord of the "Amersham Arms," New Cross identified the Third.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charges.
Two of the pots he stole from the houses, and the third he took off the
railings of a house in the road, and you cut the bottoms off.
Scanlan informed his worship that the prisoner had been once convicted
for unlawful possession, and once tried and convicted of stealing in
this court. He believed him to be connected with a gang of coiners, who
used the publicans' pots in the manufacture of the base coin.
The prisoner denied that, when Mr. Secker sentenced him to 2 months on
each charge, making his imprisonment all together 6 months, with hard
labour.
