James Hewson, in service of Francis Little charged with theft. Mr. Little states - about 14 months ago a trunk containing a variety of articles was stolen on my way to my farm. The prisoner was with the cart at the time of my missing the trunk. Amongst other things stolen from me were some silver tea spoons and some razors. I have no doubt of the spoons before the court being mine. I am not quite certain as to the razors but they are of the same pattern. Sometime previous to the spoons being stolen from me, I had a seen the prisoners box at which time he had not any spoons. Francis Blower Gibbes Esq., states - A short time since I was informed that the prisoner had been offering tea spoons for sale. I ordered his box to be searched in me presence. The spoons and razors were found in the box as well as several other articles of a suspicious nature. On my first questioning Hewson, where he got the spoons he said he had found them on the road to Sydney but afterwards he said he had brought them to the colony and that they had been in is possession sixteen years. Thomas Tyrie in the service of Mr. Little, states - my master was robbed about two years ago. I am not certain as to time. A great many things were stolen. There were some silver tea spoons, those now before the court are some of them. I had no particular mark but I am certain they are the same from the letters on them. I have had them in my hands frequently to clean. The prisoner states - I told Mr. Gibbes, I had found the razors on the road to Sydney not the spoons. The spoons have been in my possession six years and in that of my family sixteen years. I brought six of them to the colony with me. Two of them have been stolen from me, the other four are my property. I know nothing of Mr. Littles robbery either from the cart or at the farm. James Hewson sentenced to a penal settlement for 3 years. Mr. Gibbes states he has a cow and calf in his possession belonging to James Hewson.

George Grey per Marquis of Huntley, assigned to William Bell Carlyle, charged with disorderly conduct....Francis Little states that the prisoner came to me on Saturday night last and asked me for a bottle of spirits which I gave him on condition that he should not take it to the kitchens. It was an understood matter that it was not to be given to the servant girl. The woman was absent for a considerable part of the evening and came in in a state that evidently showed she had been drinking and I was informed that she was in company with Grey and that he had beat her. The marks of ill usage are still upon her face. On the Sunday morning following I was informed that Grey came to the neighbourhood of my dwelling house and struck a fellow servant of his Morris Humphries and did not go away until he was sent away by some of his fellow servants.....Morris Humphreys assigned to Francis Little states - that last Saturday night being in the stock yard I saw the prisoner strike the woman.

Charles Banks per ship Dunvegan Castle, assigned to Francis Little and Thomas Goodman per ship York assigned to Archibald Little, charged with neglect of duty....Francis Little states - The prisoners went in charge of my dray to Maitland a few days ago. I followed them down and at Maitland I made a few purchases which were given in charge to them among others. Prisoner Banks when before he left Invermein I told should hold responsibility for the safety of the things. He saw the parcel packing and I believe knew the contents of it - after they left Maitland with the dray I followed them and overtook them, when prisoner Goodman told me they had met with an accident and lost the parcel in coming through Maitland. I considered the men trustworthy and selected them accordingly for the journey. The prisoners admitted the loss but they could not account for it otherwise than as entirely accidental. The Bench find the prisoners guilty. In consequence of their good character the Bench only sentence them for their tickets to be suspended six months after their usual period
