Details: Constable William McCarthy charged with inciting a child, 12 years old to rob her master and for receiving the property. ...Catherine Riley states - some time since I had occasion to go up the river to my farm. My husband was away at the same time at Reids Mistake. I left my shop in the care of Sarah Prentice, a child who lives with me about 12 years old. She also knew where our money was secreted sometimes to the amount of six or seven hundred dollars, sometimes less. This money was not under lock. I am frequently away from my house at short intervals. Latterly I have thought the money seemed to be lessened but I had no suspicion of anything wrong or the part of the child. About a month ago she told me that during my absence at the farm McCarthy had borrowed a dollar of her on the promise of returning it in a day or two. McCarthy has had at all times free access to my house on account of his having saved my life some years since, and was in some measure treated like one of the family. We all of us had confidence in him. The child further stated to me that instead of his bringing back the dollar according to promise, he a short time after asked her to lend him some more money and upon her hesitating he threatened to tell Mrs. Riley of what she had already done and have her sent to gaol. That she was frightened at this and gave him as much silver in dollars, Rupees and dups as she could hold in both hands. He also at another time took a bank note for ten dollars from the bosom of the childs frock. I communicated these circumstances at the time I became acquainted with them to the chief constable but deferred bringing it publicly forwarded expecting something further might transpire....Sarah Prentice states - When Mrs. Riley went up the river some months since McCarthy came and asked me to lend him a dollar which he promised to return in a day or two. Instead of which he asked me some time after to lend him some ore money and that he would buy me some pretty clothes. I did not like to let him have the money but he told me if I refused he would tell Mrs. Riley about the dollar I had lent him and get me sent to gaol. I was frightened and went to the place where the money was hid and took as many dollars Rupees and dumps as I could hold in my hand and gave them to him. Some time after this James Hogan was at our house before Mrs. Riley was out of bed. He asked me for two dollars and gave me a ten dollar note to give to Mrs. Riley to get change. I put the note in my bosom and went into the yard about milking the cows. McCarthy came there and took the note out of my bosom. I told Mrs. riley of it that morning and also about my lending the other money. William McCarthy in his defence states - James Hogan told me he had given a ten dollar note to Sarah Prentice to take care of for him and that I might get it from her. I therefore did not think any harm in taking it. I went and changed it with Mrs. Riley. The other part of the story told by Sarah Prentice is false. I never borrowed or had any money from her. James Hogan called by McCarthy states - I lent money to McCarthy occasionally when I can spare it and he accommodates me in the same manner. I believe he knew of my having given a ten dollar note to Sarah Prentice, but I did not authorise him to take it from her. I could not as I was owing two dollars out of it. William McCarthy sentenced to three years to a penal settlement
