First Name: Thomas
Ship: Little Mary 1819
Date: 5 July 1825
Place: Newcastle

Details: Joseph Thorpe and Henry Threlfo both in government service charged with robbery....Mary Ann Stewart states...I was robbed last night of every article of wearing apparel which I possess. I went out in the evening and left my trunk in the care of Thomas Strattles. On my return I found the lock had been forced and everything had gone. I am certain Strattles would not rob me as I am living with him. Amongst other things stolen was the making of a shift which I had cut out, the Gusset and I am positive is part of the shift. Thomas Strattles states Mary Stewart left her box in my charge. Thorpe came into the room...I wanted to go out for a few minutes and asked him to stop whilst I was away. He consented and I left him. The box was then locked and everything safe; on my return Thorpe was gone and the box had been forced and emptied. I gave the alarm to the Chief Constable and told I had no doubt but that Thorpe had committed the robbery. The Chief Constable states...I caused Thorpe to be taken into custody last night by Perrott the Constable. This morning I searched the premises in the occupation of John May who carries on the trade of currier and shoemaker when not employed as a barber which is his government duty, in an apartment of the house in which Henry Threlfo sleeps, who works in the mines, but who is a currier by trade. I discovered a large hole about four feet deep very artfully covered over and there is no doubt but this hole has been many years in existence and used for the sole purpose of secreting stolen property. The house is notorious for a considerable time past for harbouring the worst characters on the settlement. In the hole I found some grains of wheat and maize quite fresh; a young cabbage plant which could not have been out of the ground many hours and the gusset of a shift which Mary Stewart recognises. Isaac Perrott states....I took Thorpe into custody last night, I told him it was for robbing Mary Stewart and advised him to bring the things to light; He told me he knew where they were and would go and get them. I suffered him to go and in about a quarter of an hour he returned and told me he had been asking himself a few questions which had caused him to alter his mind....The prisoners severally deny any knowledge of or participation in the robbery. Sentence: Joseph Thorpe 50 lashes and three years to a penal settlement. Henry Threlfo two years at a penal settlement.

Details: George Massey in the service of Captain Allman charged with an assault on Joseph Lowe with the intent to commit an unnatural crime. John Dempsey being duly sworn deposeth and saith....On Thursday night last between the hours of ten and eleven oclock I was in bed in the kitchen of the Police Office. I was awoke by a knock at the door. I opened it and let George Massey, my fellow servant in, he was accompanied by Mr. Close s servant whom he said was a well behaved man and to whom he meant to give part of his bed. He laid a mat and blanket on the kitchen table for the man and he himself lay down on a bench before the kitchen fire. In less than 3/4 of an hour I fell asleep. In the course of the night I was awoke on the noise of Massey falling on the floor. Massey said as he fell - Joe - you have killed me - the other replied - you scoundrel, you should be burnt - You thought I was drunk - You are very much mistaken if that was what you thought me here for - Massey replied - You have heard something about me which makes you say what you do - I will go and report you to the Commandant. - He went to the house for that purpose but the door being locked he could not obtain admittance. He then said he would give him in charge to the Sentry but the yard door being also locked he could not get out; I then ordered him into the kitchen. When he went in I shut the door on him. I then desired Mr. Close s servant to dress himself and I accompanied him to the watch house as a place of security. When I returned I went to bed; in the morning I asked Massey what he thought of his nights work. At first he did not seem to understand me but when I repeated to him what Mr. Closes servant had told me on the way to the watch house which was, that Massey had been attempting to effect an unnatural crime, Massey gave me a knife and desired me to put an end to his existence, and that if I would not do it he would do it himself. He said afterwards he would take to the bush but I detained him and took an early opportunity of reporting to the Commandant what I have now related. Joseph Lowe, in service to Edward Charles Close then gave evidence re the attempted assault and Thomas Strattles, assigned to government gave evidence of a previous attempt of assault by Massey. John Clarke, prisoner of the crown also gave evidence. George Massey denied the charge and says that the accusation if false and malicious but produced no witnesses. George Massey found guilty of the offence and sentenced to receive one hundred lashes and to be transported to Norfolk Island
