Details: DAVID PIERCE POWER, Grazier, is the son of Pierce Power, who was born in County Galway, Ireland, and arrived in Dulwich, Glennies Creek, near Singleton in 1837, where he became working overseer. Here our subject was born in 1842. He left for Goorangoola in 1843 with his father, who, after remaining in that place for nine years, leased Chestnut Park estate for three years, and subsequently How s Flat, where he died in 1858. Our subject remained with his mother at How s Flat farming, and then selected fifty acres on the banks of Parnell s Creek, near Jerrys Plains, in.1863. Here Mr. Power, aided by his brother Michael, increased his holding by purchasing a selection of 1600 acres, and in 1878 leased the Horse and Jockey Hotel, Jerrys Plains. He sold out his interest in this some six years later, when, in conjunction with his brother, he purchased in 1885 the Montrose estate of 1400 acres-an area which has been since increased by 300 acres. This land is of the best and suitable to agricultural and grazing purposes, carrying about 700 head of cattle. Apart from the Montrose estate, Messrs. Power have on lease 1700 acres, on which they run about 300 cattle. Mr. Power married in 1875 Miss Grace, by whom he has one son

Details: James Power, free by servitude and Thomas Dutton, free by servitude, charged with receiving stolen property. Charles Halkin, lockup keeper deposed - The silver watch and chain now produced were taken from the prisoner Power while in a state of intoxication having him brought for confinement on that charge. He made every exertions to prevent it being taken from him. I was forced to throw him down in the lockup in order to search him. He kept his arm on the pocket in which it was evidently secreted. The watch was claimed the following morning by the prisoner Thomas Dutton. He said he brought the watch with him from England. I am aware Powers having been taken up on suspicion of being concerned in a robbery on Dr. Thomson which took place some months since above Invermein. Amongst the articles stolen from Dr. Thomson was a silver guard chain which resembles the one now produced. There was a man Robinson taken up on suspicion of being concerned in the same robbery who has since been committed on a charge of sheep stealing. John Wilmot a watchmaker by trade, assigned servant of the late Col. Dumaresq gave evidence that he had sold the silver chain to Dutton.George Linton, free by servitude, gave evidence. James Young, overseer to Mr. William Cox gave evidence...I reside on the Waybong about fifteen miles from Muswellbrook. During my absence from my hut, the door was opened and my watch and other articles were stolen....The prisoners were committed for trial
