Details:
John Beattie, a Port Macquarie runaway. Charged with attempting to break out of gaol and for inducing his fellow prisoners to break out of gaol. The keeper of H.M. Gaol states....The night before last about eight oclock I discovered that some of the prisoners confined in gaol were attempting to escape. I ascertained they had made a hole in the wall of one of the rooms large enough for a man to pass through. I took the necessary precautions to prevent any of them from escaping during the night and yesterday morning I examined the hands of the prisoners confined in that room. Several of them had their hands daubed with mortar, and amongst the rest Beattie who I understand provided the tool for making the hole and I am likewise informed that Beattie was the principal person to incite the others to escape; before he was confined with them they were all very peaceable. John Baker one of the prisoners stated - I assisted to make the hole for the purpose of escaping. I was incited to it by John Beattie. Beattie acknowledges having brought the pick into the room to make the hole in the wall. There were also found on his person a false certificate, files, flints of steel. John Beattie sentenced to 50 lashes
