In 1829 at the Supreme Court in Sydney, the bewitching Jane New was sentenced to death. Her crime: shoplifting a bolt of printed French silk. But was she guilty? Many had their doubts.Although a legal technicality soon quashed Jane's sentence, the autocratic Governor Ralph Darling refused to set her free.
