Cambridge Chronicle 6 Nov 1847: Lloyd accused of stealing sheep
GRANTCHESTER — Burglary. — On Thursday night, or early yesterday morning, some thieves broke into the shop of Mr. Thomas Ellwood, butcher, of Grantchester, and stole a fine sheep, which was dressed and ready for the Cambridge market. On the morning in question one of the game-keepers of Trumpington saw two young men, one named (William) Lloyd, of Trumpington, and the other named Hinds, of Barton, take something out of a cart, and deposit it in a hole in a field in Trumpington. He immediately gave information to the constable, and they proceeded together to the spot, where they discovered the carcase wrapped in a sack belonging to Mr. Toller, of Wilbraham. Both the men were apprehended yesterday and taken before the Mayor, who remanded them till this day, when the case will be heard before the county magistrates.
