Charles Wood per ship Princess Royal and William Preston per ship Shipley, both in government service, charged with theft.....James Collins being duly sworn states - On Monday night between the hours of eight and nine I and the watchman belonging to the lumber yard went over to Rileys to get a glass of liquor. Previous to going we fastened the windows of the small office in the lumber yard where I, Howard (Mr. Dixons Clerk) and the watchman sleep and where in fact we live. Whilst the watchman and I were seated at Rileys, Wood came in and seeing us he asked me if I knew where Howard was, I said no, upon which Wood immediately went away. Soon after the watchman and I went back to the lumber yard, but did not immediately go to the office. As we went in at the gate, I saw a man going away, he was between twenty and thirty yards off. I thought it was Wood and I said so to the watchman, but the night being dark, I cannot be positive but so fully persuaded was I that it was Wood that I hailed him twice by the name, but no answer was returned. In about ten minutes we opened the door of the office and went in when we discovered that the window had been forced and our blankets and clothing had disappeared. It immediately stuck me that Wood was the thief. I lost no time in informing a constable of what had happened and I ascertained from him where Wood lodged. I went to his lodgings but he was not at home. George Palmer, soldier of the Buffs states - On Monday night I was sentry at the stores. About nine oclock two men came up the street whom I challenged, they answered - Friends - and one of them asked me what oclock it was. They then crossed over to Mr. Smiths and one of them knocked at the door whilst the other stood at the paling, the door was opened but was instantly closed again, admittance being refused them. They then passed on towards Wallis Mill, conversing together. I heard one say to the other something about leaving all to his generosity and the other said as they came near me - You shall sleep with me and I with you, for we have never been out of each others sight since we planted it. This language led me to think that something wrong was going forward and I watched them till I saw them enter a house on the Hill, the door of which fronted my post. I told a passing constable what I had heard and directed him to the house. No one entered or came out of the house after I saw the two men go into it till the constable went in and brought them out....From the voice I think it was Preston who asked me what oclock it was. He wore a hat resembling Prestons - a sailor looking hat. Peter riley, constable, states - On Monday night Collins came and told me his lodgings had been robbed and that Wood was the man who did it. I proceeded up the street and at the Commissariat Stores the sentry told me he had heard some very suspicious language from two men passing by a short time before and he showed me a house on the hill where they were, and on my going to the door which was open I heard Preston say to Wood - Let us be out again and drive on the ....I took the in custody. The prisoners deny the charge generally. Preston admits having gone to Smiths as stated by the Sentry but says no one was with him, says that Wood came to his house some time after he had got home to call him to work in the mines, theirs being night duty. Witnesses for the defence - John Kendall states - Wood and Preston came to me Monday evening after dark , they asked me to go with them to drunk, I would not go, they stopped at my place next door where Preston lives about ten minutes only. They were together the greater part of Monday. I saw them drinking in the course of the day at three different public houses. John Tipton states On Monday evening I heard Wood and Preston talking to Kendall but I know nothing further about them .Charles Wood and William Preston sentenced to 3 years in a penal settlement
