William Cooper in the service of Duncan Sinclair charged with robbery and absconding from his service. Mr. Sinclair states the prisoner is my bonded servant. I believe him to be a great thief. I know him to be very idle; He has absconded from my service two or three times, the day on which he last absconded I meant to have taken him to a Magistrate on account of a robbery committed at an adjoining farm of which he was strongly suspected, but he disappeared and as I understand came to Newcastle. John Frankland states, some time since Cooper came to Mr. Dicksons farm which joins Mr. Sinclairs. I was at work at a little distance from the house. There was not anybody in the house. I saw Cooper get in at one of the windows. When he returned he did not seem to have anything with him. As I am an old man I was afraid to meddle with him: I know that Knox who was in charge of Mr. Dicksons farm lost a shirt, pair of stockings and waistcoat but cant say who took them....the prisoner in his defence totally denies the statement made by Frankland and says his reason for coming to Newcastle was because his Master did not give him sufficient provisions and fed him on the flesh of wild hogs. Sentenced to 50 lashes, 3 months in the mines and recalled to government.

Hymy Franks, government servant charged with theft. ....James Bye, a soldier in the 3rd regt., states - On 25th last month I had a pair of shoes, laced, stolen from me. I saw them yesterday in the possession of the chief constable. I am positive they are mine. The chief constable states......I had been informed that Bye had lost a pair of laced shoes. Yesterday I saw a pair like those described to me as being lost in the possession of William King, a settlers man. I took him and the shoes into custody. He told me he had brought them from Franks.....William King states - I bought those shoes from Hymy Franks. I gave him 8s for them. I asked him if they had come honestly by, he answered that they were and he pointed out the man who he said had made them. We went to Joseph Salters house where my master was. I there called for a gill of rum and paid seven pence, half penny for it, I showed the shoes to my master who approved of my buying them. Duncan Sinclair states - King is my government servant. He came to me yesterday and said a pair of shoes had been offered by him for sale. I approved of his buying them. Hymy Franks and another man were standing together at a short distance. King went to them. I saw him pay money to one of them. I think the other person was Joseph Pritchard. .....Joseph Pritchard states - I was told that a man was enquiring for me yesterday to sell him a pair of shoes. I went to the door and saw Franks and King standing together. I had no shoes to sell. I am not a shoemaker. Franks and King soon went away. I live a little distance from Salters house. I did not go with them to Salters. The prisoner Hymy Franks denied the charge however was sentenced to three years to a penal settlement
