Details: Peter Egan, per Recovery, charged with theft from a fellow prisoner. Nicholas Heally, Acting Overseer of the Prisoners Barracks states - The greater part of the prisoners who arrived last week in the Liverpool Packet were sent up the river yesterday to their respective destinations; one of them before he went away told me he had been robbed in the course of the morning of his bag containing clothes; yesterday about 12 olock I saw Egan going towards the privy with a bag in his hand. I followed him but the place being very dark I did not see anything in his possession after I was inside. I however was certain he had taken a bag there. I therefore directed a Wardsman to keep Guard at the door and not to suffer any person to pass in or out. I went for a constable who returned with me and we went into the Privy accompanied by the wardsman. After some search the wardsman found secreted down different holes a bag and other wearing apparel now produced. The Wardsman at the Barracks states - I was directed by the overseer not to let any person pass into the Privy yesterday whilst he was absent. I obeyed his orders - when he returned with a constable we searched the Privy and found the articles now before the court. Charles Merriott a constable states - I was called on yesterday by the overseer of the prisoners Barracks to search the privy for some stolen articles. I went and found a wardsman keeping the door. We all went in and after a while the wardman with the benefit of a light found the articles before the court. The prisoner in his defence states - I did not take any bag into the privy, it was a shirt which I had borrowed from Davis. Robert Davis states - I lent Egan a shirt to wear yesterday afternoon whilst he washed his own. It was about four oclock I let him have it. Peter Egan sentenced to 50 lashes and hard labour in the gaol gang for six months
