Details: Jeremiah Hunter in government service, charged with robbing a fellow prisoner. John Cooper a miner states...yesterday whilst I was at church my hut was forcibly entered and several articles of clothing together with a weeks provisions for myself and mate taken away. I had locked my hut up when I went to church. The Chief Constable states - the prisoner is a water carrier and is exempt from church at morning service, having been informed that he was seen loitering about at Coopers hut yesterday morning I went and searched him I found on his person a Portuguese copper coin and two small pieces of red sealing wax. Cooper when he reported the robbery to me yesterday told me that amongst other things stolen were a copper coin and two bits of sealing wax which had a dent in one of them from sealing the stem of a tobacco pipe. Cooper identifies the copper coin as belonging to the hut, states that he has had some months as it would not pass in the town; shows a dent in one of the pieces of sealing wax apparently made by the stem of a pipe - believes the sealing wax to be his property. The prisoner states that he bought the sealing wax with him from Pattersons Plains several months since and that the copper coin was given to him yesterday. On reference to the records of this office it appears that there are four offences registered against the prisoner in the year 1825 for general misconduct. Jeremiah Hunter sentenced to a penal settlement for two years

Details: John Byrne per John Barry and Michael Toomy per Hooghley, both in government service charged with theft. John Cooper states - On Tuesday last on my return from my work, I found that my house had been forcibly entered and that one shirt, one pair of trowsers, and a blanket belonging to myself and a short and pair of trowsers belonging to James Kellet had been carried off. Some stolen articles belonging to James Wilkins who also lived in the house were missing. The staple of the front door had been forced and the back door had been opened apparently on the inside. I immediately reported the circumstances to Constable riley. About an hour after William Webster who is the government servant of the Rev. Middleton, came to me saying that he understood I had been robbed and that a black native called Black Boy could show me where the things were. I went to the native who took me to the hollow behind the church where I found the blanket and one of the shirts which had been stolen. I asked if he knew who put them there. He said twas Duffy and a man who lived at my house. ON my questioning Duffy he told me he had not robbed me himself but he knew who had. Timothy Duffy states - I saw Byrne and Toomy together on Tuesday morning between the hours of 8 and 9 near where I live and at a little distance from Coopers. They were coming in the direction from the back of his house. Toomy had a bundle in his hand. Toomy and Byrne came to the door of my hut. Byrne lives in the hut with me, he went in and staid from ten to twenty minutes. Toomy wanted to go in also but I would not suffer him as I thought he had come dishonestly by the bundle which he carried upon which Toomy went away with it over the Hill towards the Church. I did not mention any of these circumstances to the constables until I was taken to the watch house on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery. The prisoner deny the charge and call in their defence William PItt who being sworn states - I was at the house adjoining where Duffy lives on Tuesday morning a little after 8 o clock. I saw a man with a bundle under his arm coming from the back of Coopers house. I had no suspicion of anything wrong. I thought he might be taking linen from the Parsonage to the washerwoman, as the path from there into the town passes at the back of Coopers. I do not know the man who carried the bundle. He was much taller than either of the prisoners who I know well. John Corrigan, states - I went to my work on Tuesday morning at six o clock at the mines. Byrne works there also. He works below. There are two spells. I am not certain whether he remained at the mines or went away during his spell hour. The Bench taking into their consideration the notoriously bad character of the witness Duffy acquit the prisoners

Details: THE PRINCE OF WALES HOTEL, John Cooper Landlord, is a small though compact house, replete with excellent fittings and possessed of every comfort possible. John Cooper was born in 1832 in Nottingham, England, and in 1866 came out to Australia. He settled in Adelaide, and after having lived there for five years removed to Melbourne, and at once went to the Bendigo diggings. Twelve months later he visited Castlemaine, Newstead, and Echuca, in the latter of which places he became a shearer. He made his way across to New South Wales, and alternately followed the occupations of shearer and miner. In 1879 he settled in Muswellbrook and married the proprietress of the Prince of Wales Hotel. In 1884 he had the misfortune to lose his wife, since which time he has been assisted in the labors of conducting his home by Mrs. Fuller, his step-daughter. Mr. Cooper enjoys the reputation of being a thoroughly honest landlord, a really hospitable host, and an excellent although unobtrusive citizen
