In the course of the night I heard the prisoners moving. I got out of my bed and found the watch door open. Jones had got clear off but Hutton was outside a short distance. There was a box belonging to one of the constables close by him. I missed my own box and Merriotts; neither of which have since been found. Charles Merriott a constable states....in consequence of a disturbance which took place in the street last night in which Jones and Hutton took an active part, having seen them strike the overseer of the mines and having been told by him that his pocket had been picket and that he had caught Hutton s hand in his pocket, I took the prisoners to the watch house, in the course of the night there was an alarm made that they were attempting to escape. I ran towards the watch house and saw Turvey who had sight of Hutton and close by him there was a box. I went in pursuit of Jones and found him at his house. I brought him back. I missed my box from the watch house. The prisoners told me mine and Turveys were at the bottom of the Mill but they have not yet been found. The prisoners deny having committed the robbery and state that seeing the door open they meant to go to their quarters. Sentenced to 50 lashes each and to be sent to Port Macquarie for two years.
