Excerpt from The Genuine Account of the Trial of Eugene Aram, for the Murder of Daniel Clark, Late of Knaresbrough, in the County of York: Who Was Convicted at York Assizes, August 5, 1759, Before the Honourable William Noel, Esquire, One of His Majesty's Justices of the Court of Common Pleas From the above circumstances, Aram was sus pected of being an accomplice with Clark; upon which; a process was granted from the steward of the honor of Knaresbrough, to arrest him for a debt due to one Mr. Norton, which was done with a view to detain Aram until such time as a warrant could bebed from a justice of peace, to take him up for being concerned along with Clark in de frauding people of their plate, 850. Contrary to the expectation of every person in town, he (being then esteemed very poor) paid what he was arrested for, and produced a large sum of money; and, in a few days, paid off a considerable mortgage upon his house in Bondgate, near Ripon. Soon after his releasement, he left the town of Knaresbrough, and was not heard of with any certainty until the month of June, 1758, when he was found at Lynn in Norfolk.
