Joseph Butler per Earl St. Vincent, in the service of Alexander Warren, charged with theft. Mr. Fisher states - I am in charge of Mr Warrens property at his farm on the 1st Branch of Hunter River. Butler has been accused by others on the farm of committing petty depredations, therefore I was on the look out for him. Last week I caught him in the act of breaking into a hut. On finding himself detected he absconded and was afterwards taken near Mr. Sinclairs farm. John McDonald, government servant to Mr. Warren states - A few weeks since I saw Butler take a piece of meat from Mr. Fishers hut and hide it. Afterwards when he produced it to use, I asked him how he came by it. He said he had taken it but would not do so any more if I would not mention it. He also told me he had taken some flour. The prisoner denied altogether the statement made by John McDonald, states that he did not break into the hut as asserted by Mr. Fisher and that he was attending his herd of cattle when taken near Mr. Sinclairs. It appears that when he was taken there were not any cattle in the neighbourhood. Joseph Butler sentenced to 50 lashes and to work in the mines
