Samuel Carlam and his common-law wife Mary Mohan, kept a lodging house at Smallwood, a village just outside Congleton, Cheshire. On 9th February they were found battered to death at the house, which had also been robbed. A hammer was found beside the bodies.

Police arrested Patrick Carey who was a father of four, and also known as John White. He was tried and convicted at Chester Assizes and sentenced to death. He was hanged by William Marwood in Chester on the 8th May 1883.
