THE LATE CHARGE OF ROBBERY AT HUGGENS'S COLLEGE.- Yesterday (Friday) week, at the quarter sessions, Maidstone, Alfred Stedman, on bail, was charged with stealing 5 taps, and 160lbs, of leaden piping, the property of George Henry Bennett, Gravesend, on the 30th November. Mr. Smith appears for the prosecution, and Mr. Addison defended. The prisoner is the son of a builder at Northfleet, and an apprentice of the prosecutor's a plumber, &c., at Gravesend. In November last, prosecutor had some work at Huggen's College, Northfleet, and the prisoner was put on that work, but in about three weeks he was taken off. On the evening of the 30th, a day or two after his being taken form the work, he was seen on the premises of the College, near to house No.5, which was unoccupied, and used as a store-room and work-shop. On the motning of the 1st ult., some brass taps were missed from the house, and early next morning prisoner went to an eating-house, in Gravesend, kept by Mr. Hodgin, and left a parcel, which was afterwards given up to P.C. Norris, who found it contained the brass taps in question. The prisoner was taken into custody, and in a cupboard in the cellar of his father's house was found a quantity of leaden piping cut into pieces. As regarded this piping, however, there was really no evidence to show that any had been stolen. The brass taps found in the bundle resembled those missed, but they could not be sworn to. Several witnesses were called who had known the prisoner from childhood, and they gave him an excellent character. The jury acquitted th prisoner. There was another indictment against him for stealing three other taps that were found in the bundle left at Hodkin's but the jury aquitted him on this charge also. 1871 Wennington, Essex, Alfred STEDMAN aged 26 Painter and House Decorator born Northfleet, Kent Ann STEDMAN aged 21 born Gravesend, Kent 1870 Wennington, Essex (baptism of son Alfred Horace) 1871 New Cottages, Wennington, Essex (baptism of daughter Ann (Annie) Eliza) 1881 No 3 Pitt Place, Rainham, Essex.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
