SECOND COUNT for like offence, only varying the manner of charging it.

ALEXANDER LOW . I am foreman of the warehouse, No. 4, in the London Docks ; Warner was a labourer in the warehouse , Nos. 3 and 4; Finaughty was a carman . There was opium and cheese on the quays, and in the warehouse, No. 3, there was bees wax. On the 19th of February last, I saw Warner come round the back of the warehouse and give Finaughty a mat in his hand; he throwed it in his cart. I asked Finaughty, what he had got in his cart; he said, it was nothing to me. I called Latter, the watchman, and then Finaughty throwed it out of the cart. The watchman opened the mat; this bag was rolled up in the mat; the bag contained this cheese, opium, and bees wax. There was bees wax in both the warehouses, and cheese and opium were on the quays.

MICHAEL LATTER . I am a watchman in the London Docks. I apprehended both the prisoners. I examined the mat when Finaughty put it out of the cart, and found the contents were opium, bees wax, and cheese. I have had it ever since.

Warner's Defence. This man asked me for an old mat; I saw two pieces of old mats behind the wine casks, I chucked them up in the cart. What was in them, I did not know.

Finaughty's Defence. I saw Warner coming along, I asked him if he had got a bit of old mat to give me; he fetched this, and I throwed it into the cart. Mr. Low asked me, what it was; I told him, it was an old mat. I did not know any thing was in it.

William married Lucy Moles, 1820 Settler in 1803. Lucy (daughter of John Moles and Lucy Jones) was born on 18 Dec 1784 in Hampstead, London, England; was christened on 9 Jan 1785 in St John Horselydown, Bermondsey, Southwark, London, England; died on 7 Jan 1848 in Fort Beaufort, Eastern Cape, South Africa; was buried on 9 Jan 1848 in Fort Beaufort, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Other Events and Attributes:

• 1820 Lineage: Yes
• Settler ID: 575
• Name: Lucy Moules 1820
• Settler: 12 Feb 1820, The Downs, Deal, Kent, England

Notes:

This is quite a challenge of a family! It appears that William and Lucy Moles must have married in about 1803 somewhere in London. They had four children, Lucy Moles Finaughty, George William, Joseph and John Henry. Joseph must have died young because he did not go to South Africa with the 1820 settlers.

On 26 February1810 a William Finnaughty was sentenced to imprisonment for larceny(theft). Engand and Wales Criminal registers 1791 - 1892 held at the National Archives under Class HO 26; piece 16, page 32. William was sentenced to 6 months in jail and a flogging. see http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?id=t18100221-73&div=t18100221-73 Is this where William departs the scene, and Henry Ulyate or Ullyate moves in? We have not been able to find a marriage for Lucy and Henry. Lucy's next 3 children all have Ulyate as a second name, and they 'drop' the Finaughty when they embark as 1820 settlers to South Africa, and subsequent children with Henry do not have the Finaughty name, but Ulyate.
