Nicholas Burton

Nicholas Burton guilty of the highway robbery of Elizabeth Price in the parish of Rowley Regis on 30^th May 1790: robbing her of a tin snuff box (value at 2d) and 8 copper halfpennies.  He was also charged with her rape.  I have found four respites for Burton (1) dated 7^th August for a week, (2) dated 25^th August for 14 days, (3) dated 11^th  October for a week, and (4) dated 23^rd October until further orders: which last implies he was not to be hanged.  As he is one of the few not recorded in St Mary, Stafford Burial Register  I presume he did not hang.
