Court Case |
24 Jul 1866 |
Hokitika, Westland, New Zealand [5] |
- This is a contentious entry as not everyone agress that these three are the sons of Moses & Sarah.
I have taken to decision to make the entry with this qualification in the hope that it can later be proved/disproved:
Sampson Jacobs, Samuel Jacobs and Lawrence Jacobs are charged with Larceny from a Dwelling.
Note that in the newspaper entry from the 14th., Sampson is named as Sampson Marks.
Samuel and Laurence (sic) were discharged and the case was dropped against Sampson.
However the articles clearly link them as brothers.
