Details:
John Burkill, assigned servant to Mr. Croasdill, charged with being in a public house after hours with a false pass....Constable Rouse testified...On Wednesday night at nine oclock the prisoner was in Mr. Kemp s kitchen. I ordered him out and asked him for his pass. He produced the one now produced dated 15 July signed by Mr. Croasdill which pass could not have been signed by him on that day as he was in Sydney. I made an enquiry of Mr. John Henderson who is agent for Mr. Croasdill in his absence. He told me he had not given the bearer any such pass and that he considered it to be a forgery and that the date had been altered. Constables Anthony and Smith were with Constable Rouse. Birkill was sent to the watch house.....John Henderson testified. I gave the prisoner the pass now produced on the 11 July. I then altered it on the 14th and gave it him. I did not authorize him to alter it into the 15th as it is now dated nor did I do so myself... John Burkill found guilty and sentenced to 14 days solitary confinement
