James Jones, was accused of burglarizing a house and taking away “one great coat, $6; one blanket, $4, and one wagon tent, $5.”
The "gentlemen justices” found Stephen not guilty of burglary but guilty of larceny and sentenced him to 39 lashes on his bare back.
In the July term of 1835, Vincent King and William White received ten years in prison for stealing “four pounds of sugar valued at 50 cents.” In addition, the court ordered that for one-eighth of their term, the prisoners should be fed on a “low and coarse diet.”
Jack, a slave valued at $750 who belonged to John Late, also received a death sentence from the fledgling Rappahannock court in its April, 1836, term. He was found guilty of stealing four pieces of bacon worth $12. But again, the commonwealth’s attorney was successful in getting the sentence commuted to sale and transportation beyond the U. S. limits.
