Carr Newspaper Article - Jan 2nd,
1836
"In the course of Monday night, the 7th ult.
[meaning December 7, 1835] a barn
belonging to Mr. Woodthorpe Clarke, of Hanslope, Bucks,
was entered by some thieves
who picked the lock, and carried away about 12 bushels
of barley. Application was
immediately made to Evans, the constable, who on repairing
to the barn, traced foot
marks to within a few yards of a house occupied by
Daniel and William Carr, Moor End,
Yardley Gobion. A warrant was obtained and Carr's
premises were searched, and a quantity
of barley found which Mr. Clarke identified as his
property.
On further prosecuting the search two tubs, a number
of sacks, and several other articles
were found which were also owned by Mr. Clarke. Evans
then proceeded to the bed room of Mary Ann,
the sister of the two Carrs, when he found a small
box which was locked. Mary Ann Carr
refused to deliver up the key, and Evans broke the
box open and discovered a Gown and an
apron the property of one of Mr. Clarke's servants.
-- Daniel and Mary Ann Carr have since
been committed to Aylesbury Gaol for trial at the
next Sessions. Wm. Carr has absconded,
but warrants have been issued for his apprehension.
Mr. Clarke has been robbed six times within
the last thirteen months, and has lost property to
the amount of £60."
