Wandsworth Common

James Charles Gunyon (aged 37, clerk) and his wife Sophia were tried at the Old Bailey in September 1827. Sophia had stolen £100 in Bank notes from a pocket-book belonging to Marian Mason, a gymnastics teacher, while employed as a charwoman at her lodgings at No. 3, George-street, St. George, Hanover-square. She handed her husband the £50 note, which he sold to a woman in Wellclose-square for forty sovereigns. They spent the proceeds on new bedding and clothes, and took a holiday to St Albans. Both were found guilty; Sophia was sentenced to death (subsequently commuted), James to transportation for fourteen years. He sailed on the Woodford in April 1828.

It was only one day's play, and terminated as follows: Marylebone 240, Wandsworth [score missing in original]. The return match will be played on Wandsworth Common to-morrow.
