Lewis Collins per Neptune, John Hart per Isabella, William Betts per Hadlow, John Marney per Elizabeth, William Bond per Earl St. Vincent and Bernard Wood per Chapman, all runaways from Port Macquarie....James Croft, keeper of His Majestys Gaol at Newcastle states that when the above prisoners were placed under my charge I supplied them with some blankets as they were naked. They have since converted the blankets to various purposes making bags, and cutting off strips to bind round their legs. The Woollen they now have wrapt round their legs if part of the blankets. James Crofts further states - I found a rope on Lewis Collins the day before yesterday. I asked him where he got it. He refused to tell me but said he meant to sell it. I had heard that the signal halyard had been stolen from the cutter Eclipse - I have no doubt the rope I found on him belongs to that vessel...Sentences - Lewis Collins 50 lashes. The others 25 lashes each
