Hyatt Family Tree

Apprenticed to a Shoemaker as a young man, Charles was introduced to the ministry by his brother Rev. John Hyatt, and later ordained a Minister himself. He then left for London in 1793, after his sister Elizabeth's death, to join the London Tabernacle, Tottenham court Rd. in Blackfriars, London. He continued to work as a shoemaker until 1804, then he was ordained Minister. He started preaching at Angel Chapel, Virginia St, very close to the Tower of London. At that time, he was wealthy enough to preach for no pay. In 1821 a chapel was built for him on Ratcliff Highway, London, The Shadwell Ebeneezer Independent. He preached there until his death in 1846, a wealthy and powerful man. Charles's and Mary's last known home was in 1841 at 14 Hardwick Place, commercial Rd. Mile end (limehouse) Stepney, London.

733. SARAH DANCER was indicted for feloniously stealing, on the 22d of October, sixteen pieces of welting leather, value 12s. the property of Charles Hyatt, privately in his shop .

CHARLES HYATT sworn. - I am a leather-cutter, No. 183, Shoreditch: On the evening of the 22d of October, about nine o'clock at night, the prisoner, in company with another woman, came into my shop to purchase some leather; I sent her into the cellar with a little girl, and a candle to light her,
to look out what she wanted; I went into the cellar with another customer myself; she stopped in the cellar with the little girl about two minutes;
I was at the other end of the cellar, and told the little girl to light her up; when she came into the shop, she told the woman with whom she came in, that she wanted to go out to speak to a closer or binder-woman; she told the woman to wait, she would be in again in a minute; when I came up,
she had just returned, she looked out some leather in the shop, had it weighed, and paid for it; she went away; about a quarter of an hour after,
I missed a bundle containing sixteen pieces of welting leather, I suspected the prisoner had got it; I instantly enquired where she lived, went to the watch-house, and laid an information, the officer of the night went with me to the house; I told her, I had missed a bundle of leather, and suspected she had it; she said, she knew nothing of it; I saw some leather lying upon the floor, just behind her, I instantly went to it, and found it was the
property I had missed; the officer then took her into custody; she had been a customer about a fortnight.

Cross-examined by Mr. Alley. Q. I believe this poor woman has a husband who is a maniac? - A. She has a husband who is deranged, and two children. (The officer produced the leather, which was identified by the prosecutor).

Mr. Alley. Q. This leather was not in your shop, but in the cellar? - A. No, it was not exposed for sale.

Court. Q. Is your cellar a part of your shop? - A. We consider it so, because we keep in it articles for sale as well as articles not for sale; this leather is not manufactured, it is not in a saleable condition.
