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

Peter Egan per ship Recovery and John Coakley both in government service charged with endeavouring to sell a government bed tick and blanket which had been purloined from James Bull assigned servant of Captain John Pike. .....William Cooper states - Yesterday Egan came to me and offered a bed tick for sale; it had the Kings mark on it and I therefore declined the bargain; to the best of my opinion the bed now before the court is that which was offered to me. Chief Constable George Muir states - when the government servants who arrived in the Liverpool Packet on Sunday last landed, I took the numbers of their bedding. The bed tick No. 56 belonged to James Bull who came by the vessel. I was told yesterday by the overseer of the prisoner s barracks, that Coakley had just come down the river bringing a bed with him which he believed to have been stolen. I went and took possession of it. It consisted of a bed No. 56 and a blanket, the corner of the blanket where I suppose the number to have been is cut off. Egan states - I got the bed tick from Coakley and offered it for sale at his request. Coakley states - the late owner of the bed tick and blanket gave them to me up the river in exchange for some tobacco. Sentences: Peter Egan 50 lashes; John Coakley 25 lashes.
