Old Bailey transcript 26 Feb 1783:
MICHAEL NOWLAND was indicted for feloniously making an assault on the King's highway, on William Lawrence, the 13th of February, and putting him in fear and danger of his life, and taking from his person and against his will, one bridle, value 1 s. the goods of Askew Bucknell, Esq.
WILLIAM LAWRENCE sworn.
I am carter to John Askew Bucknell, he lives near Watford; on the 13th of February, about four in the morning, a man came to me and demanded the bridle of my horse, I am not sure that that is the man; the horse was tied behind the waggon [sic]; he shewed me a thing which I thought was a pistol.
What did he say? - He did not say any thing, he came up to me, you Sir, says he, give me the bridle of your horse.
Did he say what he wanted with the bridle? - No.
Did he demand any thing else but the bridle? - No, he said he would either shoot me, or blow my brains out, I do not know which.
He did not demand any thing else of you? - No.
He did not ask any money? - No.
He took the bridle and rode away? - Yes.
You cannot swear this is the man? - No, I can swear to the bridle, it was found again.
THOMAS PRICE sworn.
I had taken a small black horse in of one William Mills, with this bridle on it, at half past eleven, at the Cock in Tottenham Court Road, this was the 13th of February, the man asked me if the horse could stand that night, it was the prisoner at the bar, he came with the horse, he desired me to put him into the stable, and give him half a peck of corn and a little hay, and he should come and speak to my master in a minute or two, and he left the horse and went off, and I saw no more of him.
Prisoner. I have witnesses that I was in bed the same night this was done.
WILLIAM BOWYER sworn.
I apprehended the prisoner at the bar, I am one of the patrol lately appointed by Sir Sampson Wright, the patrol happened to go to Kilburn, I met this prisoner and some other people in company; I searched the prisoner, and I found this in his left hand pocket, it is not a pistol, it is only the appearance of a pistol; he said, he was going to Edgware, we took him into custody; the last witness immediately on seeing him again said, that is the man that brought the horse to our house.
Court to Price. How long was the prisoner in the yard? - Only at the door, he gave me the horse, he stopped five minutes, not longer.
At half past eleven, it was not light at that time? - There was a lamp over the door, I never saw him before, he was dressed as he is now, I can swear to him that he is the same person.
(The bridle shewn to the first witness.)
I know the bridle by the buckle
Court. Is not it a common buckle? - There are others like it.
Is there any particular observation that you ever made on this bridle, that enables you to swear to it again? - I know it by being broke, I have used it many times.
What is there in that bridle that distinguishes it from any other old bridle that is broken? - I know it from an hundred.
But if you do know it, you can give some reason for it, and some description that somebody else might know it by? - This was the bridle I gave him.
What reason have you for being sure this is the same bridle? - I cannot know it any other way than this, I believe it to be the same.
PRISONER's DEFENCE.
That young man knows no more of me, I never saw him before I saw him in Bow-street, the runner that took me has put him up to it, and bid him swear any thing that he could, and he might get 20 l. the people that I had as witnesses are gone home, some of the turnkeys told them my trial would not come on to night, and they are gone home.
Court to Lawrence. Did you observe what sort of a horse the prisoner was upon when he robbed you? - A black horse.
NOT GUILTY.
Tried by the first Middlesex Jury before Mr. RECORDER.
MICHAEL NOWLAND was again indicted for feloniously stealing on the 13th of February instant, one black gelding value 10 l. the goods of William Hall.
JOHN WRENCH sworn.
I am servant to Mr. William Hall; coming to town the 13th of February, at the bottom of Elstree-hill a man crossed the road upon me, and this black gelding was tied to the off side of my cart, it was a quarter after three in the morning; he drew out a weapon from under his coat, which appeared to me to be a pistol, and he clapped it against my breast, and demanded this black gelding of me, and bid me stop immediately, and he took this black gelding of me, which was tied on the off side of my horse, and rode away immediately: I have seen the horse since, I can swear to the horse.
Jury. Had you no fort of knowledge of the man? - No.
THOMAS PRICE.
I have no further to say, than I took a horse in from the prisoner at the bar, I am sure it was the prisoner, I have no doubt of his person, there was a lamp over our door, the prisoner was with me about five minutes, I heard of his being taken up about a week afterwards, the horse was claimed that day week, and he was took up a week after that.
Who came to claim the horse? - One William Hall.
Did any body come with him? - Not that I saw.
Did the prisoner ever come after the horse again? - No.
What became of the horse? - William Hall took him away.
Is Hall here? - No.
Do you know Wrench the first witness? I know him by sight.
Did he ever see the horse at your house? No.
Was he with Hall when he took him away? - No.
Was the horse ever taken before the magistrate? - I believe it was.
Was you with him? - No.
- BOWYER sworn.
I apprehended the prisoner.
Do you know any thing about this horse? - The horse was brought before the magistrate from where Mr. Hall had brought him with his servant, after he had received him from Tottenham Court Road, Mr. Hall was ordered to produce the horse by Mr. Addington.
Who was there to identify that that horse was the same horse that was found in Tottenham Court Road; who is to prove that the horse that was afterwards produced by Mr. Hall was the same horse? - The horse was brought by Hall to Bow-street.
Was Price there when the horse was brought? - I really believe he was.
Court to Price. Were you at Bow-street when the horse was brought there? - Yes.
Are you sure of that? - Yes.
Did you take such notice of the horse that was left in your stable, as to be able to know him again? - Yes, I did.
Court to Price. Was the horse that was produced at Bow-street, the same horse that was taken from your house? - Yes.
Are you sure of that? - Yes, quite sure.
What sort of horse was it? - A small black gelding, a white face, one foot I believe is white.
What sort of mane and tail? - A long tail that had never been cut.
Was it a remarkable horse? - It was remarkable enough to know it again, I am sure it was the same horse.
Court to Wrench. You saw the horse at the office? - Yes.
Was Price there? - Yes.
Was that Mr. Hall's horse? - I am sure of it, quite sure of it.
PRISONER's DEFENCE.

GUILTY, Death.
