 1868. March. 6th. Nottingham Guardian.- Elopement and Robbery at Mansfield.- Harriet Clay age 18 was charged with stealing £30 the property of Richard Clay her father in his dwelling house at Mansfield on the 14th of January and Henry Rossell age 27. Painter was charged with feloniously receiving, harbouring and maintaining the said Harriet Clay well knowing her to have committed the above named felony. Clay pleaded guilty and Rossell not guilty. Mr Mellor for the prosecution and Mr Lawrence defended the prisoner Rossell. At the outset Mr Mellor proposed to call the female prisoner as a witness against Rossell. Richard Clay the prosecutor said he was a Blacksmith residing in Mansfield, his daughter had always lived with him except on one occasion when she was out at service for a short time. In his trade he was obliged to have money by him and he always kept it in a small "Lady`s Companion" in the bedroom, his daughter was aware of that. On Monday the 13th of January she left her home and was not seen again by her parents until the following Tuesday evening. After that she was again missed and the next time he saw her was at Mansfield Police Station. On the money bag being examined it was found to be empty the amount in question having been abstracted. - Mr Mellor then called the prisoner Harriet Clay who stated that on Monday the 13th she went to Nottingham and stayed the night with Rossell at an eating house on Derby Road. They went to a public house and seated themselves in a small room and Rossell then asked her if she had any money, she replied that she knew where her mother kept the money upon which Rossell enquired where and she told him. He asked her if she could get it  and she said she had a key of the drawer.

He told her to try and get the money if her mother went out and then take the train for Nottingham and meet him at the Exchange Hall where he would be on the lookout for her. She went home between eleven and twelve o`clock next morning and upon arriving there did some work about the house. After getting tea ready she procured the keys, undid the drawer and took out the money. She then walked to Sutton and took the train for Radford. She met Rossell at the Exchange and he asked her if she had got the money, she replied in the affirmative and he took it out of the "Lady`s Companion" and tried to count it but it being dark he was unable to do so. He put the money in his pocket and then went accross the market up a yard where he counted it and informed her that there was about £30. He said they should go to London that night and they went to the Great Northern  Railway Station and took tickets for Grantham where they alighted and stayed together all night at a boarding house. On the following day (Wednesday) they went to London where they took lodgings in a coffee house. A London policeman came to the house and after he had gone Rossell  bought a new purse in which he put the money and handed it to her telling her to say that he never had it. She knew the prisoner six or seven weeks and had been on intimate terms with him, he said he should marry her, she did not know he was a married man.  William Mettam a cattle dealer of Mansfield her uncle said that he went with Superintendent Horne in search of the prisoners, they traced them to London and having obtained the assistance of a Metropolitan police officer they succeeded in finding where the prisoners were staying. Rossell came down stairs first and Clay afterwards, the prisoners were apprehended and conveyed to the Metropoliton police station where they were searched and £28-12s was found on the female prisoner. Rossell said he was sorry for what he had done, he also said that when she gave him the money she said it was her own and he was not aware the money had been stolen. Mr Lawrence addressed the jury and pointed out that the prisoner Clay might have given her evidence in the manner she had in the hope of obtaining some mitigation of her sentence and concluded that Rossell had not acted criminally in the matter although he might have made a fool of himself with the woman. - The prosecuters lawyer said he had been requested by the father and mother of the girl to ask the court to deal leniently with her. His Lordship, in sentencing the female prisoner remarked upon the serious nature of the offence, she had not only stolen her fathers money, but had gone off with the man for an improper and immoral purpose. The sentence of the Court was that of hard labour for 12 months and one week in each three months solitary confinement and in Rossells case he would receive the same sentece as the female.
