Details: THE LATE ROBERT RICKERBY.—Our readers may recollect that Mr. Robert Rickerby, who was formerly a fellmonger in West Maitland, was lost in the bush from the Mount Vincent Estate, some seven years ago. On the 29th ultimo one of Mr. William Short s boys, residing at the head of Mulberring Creek, was in search of cattle in a gully running from the Broken Back, and came upon a man s skull, which has been identified at the magisterial inquiry held before Mr. Child as that of Rickerby - but nothing further was found. It appears that Rickerby had become of weak intellect, and wandered nearly three miles from Mount Vincent to the spot where the skull was found, and there starved. The bones are supposed to have been lost in the rubbish washed down from the mountain - nothing beyond the head being found, after great search.

Details: James Kendall per Parmelia, assigned to A.W. Scott. William Lear per Mellish, Thomas Bagley per Nithsdale assigned to the A.A. Company, all charged with disorderly conduct and being out of barracks after hours. Thomas Armstrong per Isabella, James Armitage per Exmouth, Robert Ridley per Isabella and John Clish per Bengal Merchant, assigned to the Company, charged with disorderly conduct......Constable Anthony testified....On Saturday night about twelve oclock, we heard a noise as we were passing Mr. Scotts cottage. We looked at the door to see who it was. Mr. Scotts man was playing the fiddle and Bagley and Lear were inside before the fire there was a bottle and some rum in it the bottle produced we took Bagley and Lear on going to the watch house we met the other four prisoners on the flat going towards the cottage. We brought them all to the watch house. Hannell was with me at the time....Constable Hannell testified.....On Saturday night last between twelve and one oclock I heard some singing and noise in Mr. Scotts Cottage. We knocked at the door. They admitted us. There was a bottle before Kendall on the floor. We took the two Company men in charge. In going towards the town we met the other four prisoners, none of them was disorderly. They were making no noise. James Rawson testified....I was at the mens barracks about half past eight on Saturday night when William Latham mustered the men. They were all present. I have not seen any of the prisoners from that time till now. There was a fight amongst the men late on that night inside on the Flats. I know no reason why the prisoners should not have gone to their beds that night....Mr. James Steele, Engineer, testified....At the hour of eleven I desired all the men to go to their beds including the prisoners. I cannot say that any of the men was drunk. I believe Bagley had been drinking. Clish has been with the Company nearly twelve months and I have had no trouble with him. All the prisoners are generally well behaved.....A.W. Scott testified....I do not remember ever giving the prisoner Kendall any positive orders that he should not admit any person into the cottage, but it is my impression that the prisoner must have known that it is against my orders and that he knows that some of my men have been punished for the same offence.....Sentence...Bagnal, Ridley, Armstrong 25 lashes each. Kendall 75 lashes
