John George, in the service of government charged with stealing a sucking pig, the property of Francis Dixon. The chief constable states...I yesterday met the prisoner a little distance from the hospital. He seemed to have something bulky under his jacket. I asked him what it was. He replied nothing. I searched him. A dead pig dropped from his jacket. It had not long been killed. It is a common practice among the prisoners to stealing sucking pigs and kids whenever an opportunity presents itself. Mr. Dixon states...yesterday morning I had twenty sucking pigs. They were let out with their mothers to roam about the town; only nineteen young pigs returned in the evening. From certain marks on the pig found in the possession of the prisoner I have no doubt as to its being mine. The prisoner in his defence states that he found the pig lying dead on the road, that when stopped by the Chief Constable he had told him so; admits having denied to the Chief Constable having anything under his jacket until he began to search. John George sentenced to 50 lashes and 2 years in a penal settlement
