Sal and William Thornhill revised what to do about being guilty of stealing something. The next day came around a William Thornhill had rehearsed what to do and say in court. The judges were strict on William and very intimidating. Mr Knapp was assigned to speak for William Thornhill and had no hope in the first quarter. It was a back and forth feud between Lucas and Knapp. Thornhill had a hint of life or death but still showed some type of mercy. William was aware of his death sentence to be hung.  ]]> 2019-05-10 01:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358718593 https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358718692 William had always been a strong boy. He was a thief and so were all of his friends. They were only good because they were fast and agile. Sal was his best friend. She was a sweet and caring girl. With a good family. William and Sal would always be at the fields. They loved the fresh air and to get away from the city.
 William's mother passed away when he was only 13. His father passed away shortly afterwards. His two older brothers were not around, so he had to take charge. He went through a couple of jobs; a cotton mill, a tan yard, a malting, and then finally the docks. At the docks he was caught stealing and was punished with 100 whips. he learnt how to steal correctly from the docks after this. He was offered an apprenticeship at the docks during the harsh winter when the river Thames was frozen. ]]> 2019-05-10 01:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358718692 https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719106 From The pages 25 - 33 that we've read, we've learnt from the authors words that. If  he completed seven years of apprenticeship he'd become a freeman of the river Thames. He then acquired his boatmans license due to the trials he faced - rowing from Hay's Wharf to Sufference Dock, to Wapping Old Stairs from Fresh Wharf in  the period of a week. The tide was too strong for him, If he missed his chance at the flood, he'd have to wait 12 hours for the water to recede. William learnt the hard way that a gentry couldn't be trusted, they could catch his boat to reach a certain destination. Then they'll say that they would return and catch his boat to where they had come from and pay for both ways A woman and a gentleman approached William's, they were both husband and wife, yet it looked like the man was unsure with what to do with his wife. The wife was exposing her leg to William, so that her husband would give her the attention she required or possibly she felt attracted to William. " The way men were ranged on top of each other.... each man higher than one, lower than another."]]> 2019-05-10 01:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719106 https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719442 In Kate Grenville's book 'Secret River' between pages 39-49 we learned about William Thornhills family.
a year after the Thornhill got married they had a baby and named him William Thornhill. Winter came and the river became frozen, the boat got stuck. Between pages 41-42 Mrs Middleton slipped on ice and was badly hurt. she was unable to eat or move from the bed. Mr Middleton was very worried and stayed by her side. he made himself exhausted by running to get her food. on pages 42-43 Mr Middleton died. Once Mrs Middleton herd the news she didn't speak again. She died shortly after and the pair was buried. The Thornhills had to sell almost all of their furniture, they needed money. They then had to live in a cheap accommodation the conditions were bad. Mrs Thornhill tried to steal a chicken and almost got caught.]]> 2019-05-10 01:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719442 https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719447 2019-05-10 01:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719447 https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719449 late in 1977 William Thronhill was born, there were distant cousins, and more William Thornhills. then when the wife of uncle Mathew the sea captain had a new baby, he was named William Thornhill too.
William was always hungry, when food did come it was a matter of cramming it into his mouth so his hands could reach for more. his older brothers would rip bread out of Williams hands so he was left with very little. night was cold, lay shivering on the mouldy straw scratching at fleas and bedbugs.]]> 2019-05-10 01:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719449 https://padlet.com/nathan_chatterton/7rvwuv53b31g/wish/358719622 in the chapter London page 66-71 we learned that Thornhill wrote a letter to the court pleading for his life because he got the death penalty because he stole some Brazzel wood also found out that he had someone come and deleiver the letters personly on page 71 he goes to court and listens to the judge talk, the judge pulles out a letter and reads it out the letter said " William Thornhill has begged us to give him mercy and spare his life".

There were such thing as a honest waterman, but waterman with wives and children could not live off of what they earn. Later on in the chapter, Thornhills friend, Collarbone, was introduced.
