Friday. Watch Stealing.

Two privates of 79th Highlanders, named Thomas Crompton and John Winder, brought up for having stolen a watch of John Winder, of Guildhall-street, the previous evening. The prosecutor who was a watchmaker, deposed that Compton came into his shop and asked to look at a watch; and while showing him some another soldier, who he believed to be the other prisoner, came in and said he wanted to buy a ring. He went away leaving the shop door open; and was shortly followed by Crompton, with the watch in his hand. Before prosecutor reached the door, the two had disappeared.

Richard Drew, landlord of the "Three Grenadiers," stated that at about eight o’clock the previous evening, Maclean asked him for a loan on the watch he produced, he declined to accede.

Inspector Spratt, with the assistance of police constable Holloway, apprehend the prisoners the same night at a late hour, at a coffee shop in King-street. Charging them with haying stolen a watch Maclean denied all knowledge of it, and said they were merely absent from the barracks without leave. On searching him no watch was found — only 1s. 8d. in money. Nor was any watch found on the other by Holloway — only 3s. They both gave other names.

Police constable Epps deposed that at about half-past eight that morning, when he took the prisoners their breakfasts Maclean expressed a disposition to say something, on which he told him that whatever he said would be adduced before the magistrates. He then stated they were both guilty — that Crompton stole the watch, and he (Maclean) sold it. Crompton also confessed his guilt; and when he asked them to whom they had sold the watch, they said they did not know, but Maclean said, he believed it was a man in the street, for 10s. He further asked if pleading guilty they would be tried that day.

The prisoners, who made no defence, were committed to the quarter sessions for trial.

Kentish Gazette, 14 April 1857.

George Davidson and Richard Andrews were brought up on complaint of Richard Drew, of the "Three Grenadiers," Military Road, for having broken a door at his house. As they had expressed regret and offered compensation — the damage having been occasioned when they were in a state of "half-and-half," the bench discharged them with a caution.
