TitleDeposition: William Hands accused by William Smart of stealing a box containing two sovereigns and four halfcrowns from his caravan. The prisoner signed the statement I was promised two shillings a week at first and then he reduced it to one shilling and it is nearly a fortnight since he told me as the Winter was coming on he could not afford to give me anything. Last Sunday we had a falling out and I had only half a crown and he refused to give me any more and beat me. I wanted to go home and had nothing to go home with, and he said he should have to give me nothing more as I had no hand writing and I own I took the money but I did not know there was so much ......... A letter from Nelson Wilkinson to the Clerk says that Smart travels the country with an exhibition of mechanism and will have come from Yarmouth....... he was at Norwich on the 22nd December.
