HIGHWAY ROBBERY - John Heaton and Richard Heaton were committed to the New Bailey, for trial at the next sessions, on a charge of highway robbery. The investigation was a very long one, from which it appeared that as John Horrocks, farmer, of Breightmet, 87 years of age, was returning from Bolton Market, on Saturday the 21st instant, about half-past five o'clock in the evening, he was attacked by some men when within two fields of his residence. They siezed him behind, threw him down and put a plaister over his mouth. He struggled until he managed to get the plaister pulled off his mouth again. They then nearly suffocated him by putting their hands over his mouth, after which the kicked him, and otherwise abused him, and took from his pockets three halfcrowns, and nine or ten shillings in smaller silver. They also took from him a market basket and its contents consisting of groceries, bread, butter &c. They then ran away and on the old man arriving at his own residence, he told the family what had happened, and he also sent his wife to the residence of one of the prisoners, to see if he was at home, but it turned out that he was not. The evidence against teh prisoners was of a very strong nature, but entirely circumstantial. They had been seen by different persons, running in the direction which Horrocks had to go on his way home, about the same time; and a young woman who happened to be passing near to the place where the robbery took place, said that she heard a scream of murder, and a little after, she saw the prisoners jump over a hedge and run away. The prisoners denied that they had been in Bolton on the day, but proof was adduced that they were drinking in a New Beer shop in Deansgate from seven till half-past nine o'clock in teh evening, and that the beer was paid for in the same description of money as that of which Mr Horrocks was robbed. Major Watkins said that as the evidence, though strong, was entirely circumstantial, he should only commit to the New Bailey; but had it been more direct, he certainly should have committed to Lancaster Castle. The evidence, which was of a very voluminous description, was well got up, and reflects credit upon Mr. R.A. Hibbert, solicitor, who has been indefatigable in his exertion to bring the offenders to justice.

Wheelers’ Manchester Chronicle, Saturday 14 April 1832. Salford Quarter Sessions Wednesday.
Richard Heaton, 20, and John Heaton, 25, were indicted for stealing from the person of John Horrox, at Breightmet, on the 21st of January last, about 18s in silver, one pound of butter, and other articles, the property of the said John Horrox. T he prosecutor is between 86 and 87 years of age, and the outrage committed upon his person and property was of a most aggravated description. It appeared that he was stopped on his return from the Bolton market to Brightmet, on the evening of the day named in the indictment, by three men, who savagely struck and kicked him and ultimately rifled his pockets and carried of the contents of his market-basket. The evidence against the prisoners, although entirely circumstantial, was as conclusive as the nature of such testimony can be: and, in consideration of the violence exercised and the bad character of the persons charged they were severally sentenced to fourteen years transportation.
