Lockley, a watchmaker, was convicted for stealing 12 sets of silver watch cases (£5), and one bag (1d). Lockley was originally sentenced to death but was probably granted a last-minute reprieve. He was defended by William Garrow at his trial.

In March 1790 he was sent to Norfolk Island. In December 1807, Lockley went to Van Diemens Land. He drowned there on 16 April 1808.
