Daniel Welsh per ship Hercules, assigned to Francis Little; Robert Yates per Camden assigned to Dr. William Bell Carlyle....Doctor Little states that on Thursday morning last I was informed that the peach orchard had been robbed and on going into it I found foot tracks round the tree one of which tracks I traced over the fence and huts at a short distance from the garden. It was joined by a second the track I followed up to the hut where the prisoners live I searched the hut but found nothing in it and on the road when the other track terminated I found two tracks in two opposite directions leading down towards the garden, one of the mens feet appeared larger than the other and one had hob nails and the other not. Yates shoe filled exactly matched the one with the hob nails and the heels of Welsh shoe fitted into a clod of clay that had been kicked off between the garden and the hut he had. The prisoners lived at a sheep station about two miles off and there are but three people including the prisoners residing there.. Jones the overseer had been down. I noticed his track which was quite different. There had been rain during the night and the tracks were plain. Robert Challin, ticket of leave holder states that on Wednesday last the prisoners were in the hut when he went to bed and they were there when he got up. The prisoners deny the charge. The Bench find the prisoners guilty under the strong circumstantial evidence and sentence them to receive twenty five lashes each.
