Details: William Barnes and Patrick Powers, both in government service, charged with theft....Catherine Riley states - my cart was employed yesterday bringing wheat from the wharf to my house. I was informed a bag of it was missing; I informed the Chief Constable of it; I believe the wheat before the court to be mine. I can swear that the bag which contains it is my property. James Otway - Soldier in the Buffs, states - I was sentry yesterday at the wharf and saw a loaded cart pass along. I saw a bag full of something jolt from the rear of it - the driver of the cart went on without noticing his loss. Two men dressed in grey slop clothing picked up the bag, one carried it away, accompanied by the other, to the rear of the prisoners barracks where I lost sight of them. I cannot swear to the persons they were too far off; I new the cart belonged to Mrs. Riley and I sent to inform her of my having seen the bag taken away. Mr. George Muir, Chief Constable, states - On the information of Mrs. Riley, I sent to search the prisoners houses in the rear of the prisoners barracks and in a hut occupied by William Rouse the bag of wheat now before the court was found. Rouse was at this time at work on the wharf and had been so for some time previous. There was no person in the hut except a black native woman. On my asking Rouse if he knew anything of the bag of wheat he told me he had seen Powers pass to the rear of the hut with a bag on his back a short time before. Whilst I was making enquiries amongst the boats crews respecting the robbery, Barnes made his appearance in a ragged blue jacket, it neither fitted him nor did it belong to him and having seen him but a short time before in a dress of grey slop clothing, I thought he was, from his general bad character, and from the earnest manner in which he made enquiries about what was doing, likely to have been the companion of Powers; and I therefore took them both into custody. William Rouse states - I saw two men yesterday pass to the back part of my hut, one of them had a bag on his back. I cannot swear who the two men were as it was at such a distance, but I think one of them was like Powers. That was what I told Mr. Muir; not positively that it was him. The prisoners state they do not know anything about the wheat. Both men were acquitted

Details: Patrick Powers in government service, charged with being on the premises of Francis Beattie at an unreasonable hour with intent to commit theft and for absconding from the settlement. Mr. Joseph Beattie being duly sworn states - About ten o clock at night during the session week, I heard the fowls at my father s house making a noise. I immediately went out and said the prisoner on the top of the yard fence in the act of jumping off. I pursued him a good distance and succeeded in taking him. I never lost sight of the prisoner from the time I saw him on the top of the fence. The prisoner was conveyed to the watch house. There were not any fowls missing in the morning. I am positive the prisoner is the man I saw jump from off the fence. Mr. George Muir, Chief Constable at Newcastle being sworn states - On the night of the 16th August the prisoner was brought to the watch house by a constable charged with an intent to steal fowls and was received into custody; I visited the watch house about two o clock the following morning and was informed by the constable on duty that the prisoner had effected his escape. I saw nothing of him until a few days ago when he was brought from Sydney to be dealt with here as a runaway. The prisoner states in his defence admits having been on Mr. Beatties premises at the time charged but not with intent to commit theft, that he got over the fence not knowing the proper entrance into the house; that the fear of punishment for this irregularity drove him to attempt escaping from the watch house. Patrick Powers sentenced to 75 lashes
