Robert Deo was convicted of burglary in the dwelling house of John King in the parish of Milverton on 11 October 1800, stealing therefrom a leather trunk and other goods with a total value of £110.15.3d, the property of John Harrison.

His execution, along with others took place at Taunton on the market day instead of the usual Ilchester in order to set a stronger example.
