Charles De Roches' description in the Sydney Monitor regarding Captain Crotty and Gilbert Smith at Port Macquarie. 'Originally transported for stealing from his benefactor in London; and was again tried in Sydney for forging on a score or so of Hawkesbury farmers. He was convicted and transported to Port Macquarie. He served his time and Captain Crotty retained him as his clerk, being still a convict for life but free of his colonial sentence as to Port Macquarie. With Captain Crotty therefore, Des Roches was de facto, an assigned convict servant, the same as a convict newly arrived from England would be. Being a man of infinite assurance, his local knowledge of the Port Macquarie settlement rendered him valuable to Commandant Crotty who had just arrived and who was also more of a soldier than a scholar'.

Receive Sentence of Death for stealing on 18th August, a bill of exchange, in the dwelling house of Joseph Edlmann. Testimony of MR. JOSEPH EDLMANN. I am agent of the house of Reyer and Schlik. I know the gentleman at the bar. I first became acquainted with him on the 1st or 2nd of July; he came to me, and represented himself to be a countryman of mine, and to have served in the Army, and to have got into some embarrassment on the Continent, and for that reason quitted the Continent; he came to England to look for employment, and was actually in great distress; I relieved him. He was in the habit of coming to my house every day twice or three times. I found him serviceable in his own language. On the 18th of August, which was Sunday, he came to breakfast. After breakfast, he went away; he had not taken leave of me to go any where in particular at that time. He went out. In about half an hour after, I went into the Country. I returned about ten or eleven in the evening. Between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning, I missed the bills in question; they had been in an iron safe in the counting-house; the key of that safe was generally in a wooden case by the side of it. The prisoner at the bar knew where the key was kept; he was frequently in the counting-house, and I have used the key while he has been there sometimes. In Defence he recited all the actions of his life, and which finally accounted for the transaction thus, that the bills were no use to him, that he certainly took them, but with an intention of writing to the prosecutor when he arrived at Brussels, informing him he had them, and he should restore them upon a remittance of one hundred pounds.
