William Edwards per Asia and James Jackson per Prince Regent, in the service of government. Edward charged with theft and Jackson charged with receiving the goods stolen. Samuel Dell states.... I was absent from my house and left in charge of Edwards. On my return I found that my box had been forced and several articles of wearing apparel stolen. James Croft, keeper of His Majestys gaol at Newcastle states...William Edwards was committed to my custody on suspicion of having committed the robbery at Dells. I questioned Edwards about it - he told me two men had come into the house with blankets round them and had robbed the place. I told him his story was improbable. After some hesitation he told me he could find the articles stolen if the commandant would not flog him. I took him to the Commandant who promised not to flog him if he would produce all he has stolen from the box and I was directed to accompany Edward to the place where the stolen property was. He took me into the bush about six miles and on the way told me that James Jackson had the property. I demanded them of Jackson who was with the government cattle and returned with me towards Newcastle and when we were in the vicinity of the wind mills the stolen goods were produced. William Edwards was sentenced to Port Macquarie for the remainder of his sentence. James Jackson was sentenced to 23 lashes
