The whereabouts of William Henry in 1841 are not evident.
The following might just possibly explain why?
From "Central Criminal Court - Minutes of Evidence"
by Henry Buckler (pages 847-8)
Fifth Session, 1839
New Court, Friday, March 8th, Sixth Jury, before Mr. Recorder
No. 1013. JOSEPH DEAN and WILLIAM TILBURY were indicted for stealing, on the 2nd of March, 1 truss of hay, value 2s., the goods of William COLLEY.
Mr. PAYNE conducted the Prosecution.
Reuben HALL (police-constable T 55.):
I was on duty near the Bell public-house at Ealing, on the 2nd of March, at six o'clock — I saw a cart of hay there — both the prisoners were by the side of the cart, and appeared to be speaking together — the name of William COLLEY was on the cart — I saw DEAN get on the cart, and take down a truss of hay — TILBURY, the ostler, went into the corn-house, which was four or five yards from the cart — a person can see from the corn-house to where the cart was—Dean took the truss into the corn-house, and, as he was going in TILBURY was coming out — when DEAN had taken the hay in he came out, and both the prisoners went to the water-trough together, and appeared to be talking — DEAN then came to his cart — I went, and asked him what truss of bay that was that he had taken into the corn-house — he said he had not taken one in, and he did not know any thing about it — I said,
"Come here, and I will show it you"
— I took him to the corn-house, showed it him, and said,
"Now I will swear I saw you take that truss off the cart, and put it down there"
— he said,
"I hope not"
— I said,
"I will"
— he said,
"I hope not, as I am a poor man, I hope you will look over it"
— he said he would satisfy me, and as there was nobody but TILBURY, me, and him, knew of it, I might look over it — TILBURY was at that time standing near the water-trough, about six yards from where we were, and must have heard what he said — 1 went to TILBURY, and asked what truss of hay that was that the carman took into the corn-house — he said he had not seen one — TILBURY was so close to DEAN at the time DEAN went into the corn-house, that they almost touched one another — I took them both into custody — I then got on COLLEY's cart, and found two trasses of hay that were loose, not tied with ropes, besides the load of hay.
Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE.
Q. Were there not other wagons there?
A. There was a cart of hay, or something — there was one other — TILBURY was not near any other cart but COLLEY's — the other cart was before COLLEY's — I should think the leading horse's head of COLLEY's cart was four or five yards from the other cart — it was TILBURY's duty to attend on the carts — when DEAN took the hay into the corn-house TILBURY was coming out, in a direction to the water-trough — then DEAN came out, and TILBURY made a sort of stop for DEAN to come out, and they went together to the trough — I saw no other person there — the carter of the other cart might have been in the public-house — I was four or five yards from the prisoners — 1 was on duty, and in my police dress — I did not see Mr. WILLIAMS, the landlord — this is the truss of hay.
Q. Do you mean that here is any thing like a truss of hay?
A. Yes — I will swear here is more than twenty pounds.
DEAN. I did not take the hay off the cart, it was by the side of it, and I went into the house with a leg of pork, after you spoke to me — I never went to the trough at all.
WITNESS. You did not go into the house, you went towards the trough, talking to TILBURY — you did not quit the spot till I took you.
JURY.
Q. Is the corn-house distinct from the stable?
A. It joins it — there is a way through from one to the other — the carmen do not go into the corn-house.
William COLLEY. I am a farmer, and live at Northolt. DEAN was my carter — I saw the cart loaded on the 1st of March — the hay produced by the policeman is mine — I had not authorized DEAN to leave any at the Bell — he had no authority to leave any hay on the road — he was only to take one load and one truss, which I allowed for the horses — two trusses he took wrongfully.
Cross-examined.
Q. Did you see the load at all,
A. I did, the daY before, between nine and ten o'clock at night — one truss was allowed thE carter, and I saw that truss on the top — there is not quite a truss of this hay now — there is more than forty pounds weight — it has been pulled about.
COURT.
Q. Is this what a farmer would call a truss of hay?
A. Not at present — it was when it left my premises — I first saw it on the 2nd OF March, at the station-house — it was then a truss of hay — we took it from the station-house to Brentford, and to London, it lost five or ten pounds in pulling about.
(TILBURY received a good character.)
DEAN — GUILTY.
Aged 55. Confined One Year.
TILBURY — GUILTY
Aged 22. Confined One Year.
