From the Deal, Walmer & Sandwich Mercury, 11 April, 1872.

THEFT BY AMERICAN SAILOR

William Sinclair, and American sailor, was charged, on remand, with stealing the sum of 10s. from the till of Mr. Benjamin Parker, of the "Red Lion." It appeared that the prisoner engaged a bed at the above house on Sunday, April 28th, and while the landlady was getting the bed ready, he went into the bar and took about 10s. from the till. There happened to be a marked sispence in the till at the time, which the prisoner afterwards changed. He at first pleaded not guilty, but on being told that he would be committed for trial, withdrew that plea and said he was guilty. The prisoner was sentenced to two calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour.
