1834: R Turner
1834: R Turner
Richard Turner, 26, Richard Oakley, 24, and Henry Rye, 20, were tried and convicted at Kent, Sandwich Session of Peace and Gaol Delivery in August 1834. The evidence suggests that the three men were all involved in the same case, listed for Oakley as ‘breaking into a counting house and stealing — and larceny’.
Oakley and Rye were sentenced to 14 years’ transportation. Turner was acquitted after evidence was admitted suggesting that he may have informed against Oakley and Rye.
The collection also includes tokens for Oakley and Rye, which are similar in style.
Diameter: 34mm, thickness: 2mm
Token engraved with a flowerpot and leaf decoration at the base, and nine lines of text:
