Daily News Friday March 26th 1852 Assize Intelligence William FOX and Charles HORNSBY, respectively aged 21, were charged with having, on the night of the 13th of December at Lyonshall burglariously broken and entered the dwelling house of one Mary CHAMBERS and, with menace and threat put her in bodily fear, with intent to steal her moneys and goods. The prosecutrix stands in the relation of aunt to the prisoner FOX and it was well known to him that she had lately received a considerable sum of money. It appears that FOX engaged the assistance of HORNSBY in Leominster and on the evening preceding the night of the robbery the two ruffians set out to Lyonshall in the neighbourhood of Kington, for the purpose of robbing the old woman's house. He tried also to procure the assistance of a "conjuror" in Leominster and proposed to him that he should keep watch at the door, armed with a gun, and he was to blow any person's brains out who might attempt to escape from the house. The "conjurer" however, declined to engage in the expedition.... .....They presented the gun at the old woman and threatened........terribly affrighting her and rendering her insensible....All the time this was proceeding a son of the old woman (a stout young man of from 25 to 30 years of age) lay in his bed and watched all that was going on without attempting to interfere. Mr Baron PLATT severely reproached him at the trial for his cowardice. Fortunately the old woman had deposited her money in Kington and the burglars ultimately left without obtaining any plunder. Superintendent LAWLEY of Kington received information of the burglary........and from something he heard went to Leominster and gave information to Superintendent McCROKAN of that place, who speedily apprehended the parties. Their shoes were compared with the tracks in the garden.....The Jury found the prisoners both guilty. Mr PLATT sentenced each of them to be transported for ten years. Diane J.
