Robinson, Ickleford, Hert., victualler; give evidence against Cornelius Stringer, John Carter, for theft of pigeons from John Foster at Holwell. QSR 310 Examinations and depositions: Information of Edw. Robinson, Ickleford, Herts., victualler. He watched Cornelius Stringer and Jn. Carter, whom Chas. Kingsley pointed out to him. They were "loitering about .... in Pirton Field ... then ... Grooms Wood ... They met James Hipgrave a Carrier close to the wood". Stringer and Carter then went down into a ditch and returned carrying two bags, a basket and sack. Edw. Robinson and Chas. Kinglsey followed them; Stringer and Carter turned and saw them and dropped the things they were carrying and ran. Robinson caught Stringer and brought him back to the place where the bags etc. were, all of which contained pigeons. Robinson asked Stringer to help him carry the pigeons but he replied "I'll be damned if I do, I have carried them far enough ... I have been up all night I want something to eat". Stringer said he had decided to leave them but Carter told him to "come along for "Jem" (meaning James Hipgrave)". Robinson remarked on their heaviness and Stringer answered" you would have thought them heavy if you had carried them as far as I have .... I have carried them three or four miles". QSR 312 Examinations and depositions: Examination of Cornelius Stringer, Holwell. Went to bed between nine and half past and did not get out of bed until Jn. Carter came for him the next morning between five and six. He went with Carter towards the turnpike road from Bedford to Hitchin to see Carter's brother Thos., whom they expected to come that way. Shortly before they got to Groom's Wood, Carter said there was a pigeon sitting on the bank. They then found the bags etc. with the pigeons in. Denies giving a different story to Edw. Robinson. Information of Jn. Carter; similar to C. Stringer; they were watching for his brother Thos. Carter to come through on the coach from Bedford to London. QSR341 Examinations and depositions: Information of Chas. Kingsley, Pirton, farmer. He saw Stringer and Carter going towards Pirton; as soon as they saw him they turned and went towards West Mill. Suspecting something wrong he went towards Groom's Wood, where he found the pigeons (as in 310) After watching with Edw. Robinson (as in 310) he eventually caught Carter who said "I'll be damn'd if I am not done now". He asked the two prisoners what they made of them and Carter said "Sometimes fifteen...sometimes sixteen shillings a dozen". QSR342 Examinations and depositions: Information of Robt. Rose, constable of Hitchin. He searched Carter "and found in his pocket the keys and the crooked nails and other Irons". He made labels of parchment and paper and tied them round the necks of the pigeons many of which flew straight back to Mr. Foster's dovehouse and he recovered labels from the farmyard there. He tried the keys and nails found on Carter and could undo three of Mr. Foster's wheat barns but not the dovehouse. Later he took Geo. Prudden, Hitchin, whitesmith who unlocked the dovehouse door with a crooked nail without difficulty. Cornelius was caught pigeon stealing with John Carter of Gravenhurst and was sentenced to transportation for seven years. This was never carried out but they did get sent to the hulk 'Ganymede' where they were set to hard labour. 1841 aged 55, living at Holwell with his second wife Ann 50. 1851 aged 63, lodging at Wet Lane, Pirton with his wife Ann 63, in the home of William and Ann Hill.
