Details: William Atkinson per Guildford 1827 assigned to Mr. McCrohon, Robert Sheldon per Waterloo assigned to Edward Cory and advertised as a runaway from Mr. Burnetts service, Thomas Farrow per Mangles 1833 assigned to Edward Cory also advertised as a runaway from Mr. Burnetts service and James McCoy per Hive assigned to Mr. Pringle. Thomas Ward deposed - I am overseer to Mr. Williams at the Namoi river at Boggabri. I was there about 17 January last when a man came to my hut and asked for a drink which my wife gave him. He then went to the mens hut and got another drink. James Maloney told me that he saw this man hold up three of his fingers which he thought meant to let some others know that we were three men at the place. Immediately after four more men came walking up as quick as they could walk and gave the first man a pistol. Prisoner Thomas Farrow with a pistol in each hand stood over us telling us not to move and that they would not hurt us. Farrow said he would not hurt me as I was a poor man. They wanted nothing but provisions. They placed my wife, Edward Hollis and James Malony and a black boy all beside me. Another man stood at the back door with a pistol. He was the man who came up first and a third man stood over us beside Farrow while the remaining two searched the place. They took tea, tobacco, boots, clothing, silk handerchief, cheese, two pistols, knives and a lancet, a horse rasp, gunpowder and two quart pots. They offered no violence but I was in bodily fear. They took a watch which the man who came first gave back to us. The whole party was armed with pistols. Most of the property belonged to my master Mr. Robert Williams. James Rush deposed...I went down to another station and I left a man named Job Dews, an assigned servant of Mr. Bills in charge of my hut. I returned and saw the four prisoners in the hut. The prisoner Sheldon was the only one I recollected seeing before. Atkinson and Farrow presented their pistols at me. They said I was a great friend of the constables. Job Dews per Bengal Merchant assigned to Mr. William Bill deposed that the four prisoners were the men who robbed the station. The prisoners were committed for trial. - Note by Magistrate Edward Denny Day - I regret to state that the prisoners Atkinson, Sheldon and Farrow effected their escape from the watch house at Muswellbrook on the night of the 18th April last and are still at large
