Gender Female Convict Records 1832 Cheshire [1] Susannah Wainwright convicted summer of 1832 at Chester for receiving stolen goods, 14 years. Newspaper Article 25 Jun 1832 Stockport [2] At Stockport, on Wednesday, Peter Anderson and Susan Wainwright were charged with being concerned in the burglary at Mr. Perrott's dwelling-house,on the night of the 30th of May, and stealing money to the amount of 4501. in notes. On the night in question the family retired at 11, and in the morning it appeared that the premises had been entered by rearing a ladder under a window which was without any fastening. All the silver plate was laid out for the purpose of being carried away, and various drawers were broken open, but only the notes and some loose silver had been stolen. On Wednesday, June 8, a stranger went to the shop of Mr. John Winstanley, watchmaker, Salford, and asked for a watch. Mr. Winstanley asked what price he would give, and the other then threw down a 101. note. Mr. Winstanley, suspecting he had not come honestly by it, told him to call again, when he should have a gold watch. The stranger now said he did not want the watch for himself, but a person in Newton-lane had given him the note to buy one. Mr. Winstanley, who had heard of Mr. Perrott's robbery, got a description of his person, and went in search of him in Newton-lane. He met him, and asked the man, who turned out to be the prisoner Anderson, if he wanted a watch. He said he did. They got into conversation, and went to a public-house, where Anderson acknowledged he had robbed Mr. Perrott's house. He said he would have taken away the "wedge" (plate), but he thought it safer not to encumber himself with it. Mr. Winstanley asked if he had any more notes? He said he had one 101. note, and his "girl" had the rest. They parted, after appointing a place to meet again, where Mr. Win- stanley promised to give money for the notes. Mr. Winstanley gave information to a constable, who, after some time, took the two prisoners into custody as they were walking together. Upon the female prisoner seven 501. notes were found concealed. She abused Anderson for having been so foolish as to "blab" about the matter. They were both committed for trial.-Stockport Advertiser. Newspaper Article 13 Aug 1832 Manchester, England [3] ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER. CROWN SIDE.
(Before Mr. Justice Alderson.)
Peter Anderson, aged 17, and Susannah Wainwright, aged 19, were indicted, the former for breaking into the dwelling-house of George Parrott, of Brinington, and stealing upwards of 400£. in Bank notes and 297. in silver, and the latter with feloniously receiving the same.
The Attorney-General and Mr. J. H. Lloyd appeared for the prosecutor; Mr. Dunn appeared for the prisoner Anderson.
The facts of the case are briefly these:-The prosecutor, Mr. George Parrott, resides at Brinington, near Stockport. On Wednesday night, the 30th of May, the house was broken into through one of the windows, and the sum of 460£. in notes, contained in a pocket-book, carried away; together with several parcels of silver, amounting to 29£. The notes consisted of 50£. and 10£. notes. The 50£. notes he had received, on the 15th of May, from a Mr. Abraham Watkins, of Manchester. There was a large quantity of silver plate in the house, but although it was removed it was not taken away. The doors were left wide open. The robbery was not discovered until the servants came down. stairs at five o'clock the following morning.
Mr. Watkins proved the dates and numbers of the four 50£. notes and the 10£. note which he paid Mr. Parrott on the 15th of May. On the 29th of May he made another large payment to Mr. Parrott in bank notes, but had not taken any account of the dates and numbers.
Mr. John Winstanley, watchmaker, of Salford, proved that a person agreed with him for the purchase of a watch, promising to come and pay for it at the end of the week. He did not come, but referred witness to the prisoner Anderson. On an interview with the prisoner he agreed for the watch, and offered a 10£. note in payment. Mr. Winstanley found that the note was one of those stolen from Mr. Parrott. The prisoner then proposed that witness should give him 5£. for the 10£. note; but the latter said he had not the money then, but would change ten or one hundred pounds of the other notes the next day, if he (prisoner) had them. Prisoner said he had not, but his girl had; and ultimately an appointment was made for next day, at 4, Hope-street, Salford. The prisoner said he got the notes from Mr. Parrott's, and that he did not go there for that purpose, but to take the "wedge"- term for silver plate. Witness asked him if he was not afraid of being detected while in the house. Prisoner said no, for he had fastened the door with a pair of scissors. He said he had got rid of the silver money in paying debts. Mr. Winstanley gave immediate information to the Salford police. The prisoner Wainwright and an old woman came to the place appointed in Hope-street. The-old woman left the room, and Wainwright produced five 50£. pound notes from her bosom. Mr. Winstanley selected two of the notes, the numbers of which were best known, and agreed to give her 50£. for the two. He left the room, as if to go and procure the money, but gave information to the police, who came and took her into custody.
This witness was cross-examined by Mr. Dunn at great length, with a view to shake his testimony, because of the great improbability of his story, and other grounds of discredit.
John Diggies, police-officer at Salford, proved apprehending the female prisoner on the 11th of June, in the public-house, 4, Hope-street. When searched three more of the 50£. notes were found upon her; the signature and number agreed with those noted by Mr. Absalom Watkins. Another of the Salford police apprehended Anderson the next day, and found only a few shillings in silver upon him. He lived at Stockport, close by the prosecutor's house. Only 2601. of the money lost had been recovered in the whole. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners-Anderson, Death recorded.

The esteemed old lady lies in a helpless condition. News General 17 Nov 1900 Orange, NSW, Australia [10] At the Orange Police Court on Wednesday, says the Orange Advocate, a particularly distressing case came on for hearing. An old woman named Susan Painter, who gave her age as 90, was charged with being an idle and disorderly person having no lawful means of support or fixed place of abode. From the evidence it appears, that some three months ago the old woman was turned into the streets by her relatives, and Sergeant Butler, acting on the instructions of Mr. King P.M., got her admission to the hospital, where she has been ever since, but the hospital authorities could not keep her any longer; as her temper was a menace to the welfare of the other patients. She refused to go to any Benevolent Asylum, and asked to be sent to her relatives at Tumbarumba. The police there were communicated with and they reported that her relatives refused to take her. The old woman, who is very deaf and feeble, could only reiterate her request to be sent to Tumbarumba. She could not understand that her relatives would not have her. Sergeant Butler explained that the only course was to send her to gaol, as she refused to go to a Benevolent Asylum, and they could not compel her to go. If she was sentenced to a short term her relatives could be again communicated with and she could be released if they would take her. The Bench sentenced her to one month in Bathurst gaol, where there is a hospital and plenty of attendants and she would be properly looked after.
