He was the only person acquitted during that March of 1785. Six were sentenced to be hanged: Maisie Harding for receiving stolen goods, Betty Mason for stealing 15 guineas, Sam Day for stealing 2 lbs of weaving yarn, Bill Whiting for stealing a 🐑, Isaac Rogers for highway robbery, and Joey Long for stealing a silver watch. The rest, some ten all, were sentenced to 7 years' transportation to Africa...
