"On Wednesday, before J. W. Lea, Esq., George Price, labourer, of Ombersley, lately employed on the Bromyard Railway, was brought up in custody [on remand from the previous Saturday], charged with stealing, on the 14th ult., a peck of apples, from an orchard at Suckley, the property of Mrs. Ann Roper. Two men were convicted of the same offence, on the 16th ult., but prisoner absconded, and a warrant was obtained for his apprehension. Mr. Tree appeared for the defence, but the case was clearly proved by Samuel Thomas and P.C. Oliver, of Suckley; and prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, was fined £1. 17s. 6d. including costs, or, in default, one month's imprisonment with hard labour."
