Daniel Dunn per Royal Admiral, assigned to A.W. Scott, charged with robbery...Mrs.Handshaw testified.....I saw the prisoner coming down the River in a boat. I left the house and locked the door. I saw Dunn leave the boat. I was about fifty yards from the house at the time, before leaving the boat he rested on his oars, after leaving the boat he waited a while; he then went round the fence to the back door. There is a gateway in front of the house. I heard him speak to the parrot. He then lifted up the door, took the parrot out and placed it in his bosom. He then returned towards the launch. I overtook him and asked him for the parrot, he denied having the parrot at first. He then said as you are making such a fuss about the parrot you shall have it if you will not say any more about it. I said I would not have the parrot but I would acquaint his master of it. He said bugger the master and you too. He gave me a great deal of abuse when he was in the boat. He has often been at the back of the house for a fire stick. My daughter did not tell me that she had given the prisoner the yellow parrot to the one in question....William Bennett testified....As we were (myself and prisoner) coming down in the boat yesterday afternoon, we were dry. I saw that Mrs. Handshaw s door was locked, and I would not go on shore. Dunn went on shore and came with a parrot to the boat in his bosom or cap I cannot say which. I saw him take it out of his cap and put it in the boat. When Mrs. Handshaw came she asked Dunn where the parrot was. Dunn asked her what parrot. He said I have got no parrot. Mrs. Handshaw said I will not take it now, I will acquaint Mr. Scott of it. He took the parrot in his hand and asked me if he should give her the parrot or chuck it on shore. I said he had better give it to her. He chucked the parrot out of his hand when it flew away into the mangroves. He went back to the house but I cannot say what he said. They had some angry words. Mrs. Handshaw struck Dunn in the face at the time they were quarrelling. I did not hear him make use of any ill language towards the woman or speak in disrespectful terms of his master....Prisoner Daniel Dunn found guilty and sentenced to 12 months to an iron gang
