Supreme Criminal Court - Cobborn Boatman an aborigina was indicted for stealing nine sheep the property at Wallis Plains. Rev. Threlkeld sworn in as interpreter, assisted by McGill...{Extract}....Before retiring, the foreman of the Jury wished to put a question to the first witness. James Casey examined by the Foreman.-- When the blacks were taking the sheep I called out to them; bale you take it sheep? which they must have heard, and the meaning of which, from my knowledge of them, I am certain they understood. Mr. Threlkeld, begged to explain, that the word bale, although well known to some of the blacks who were accustomed to the jargon used by the white men, was not a word in the native language; and might not be understood by blacks who were not in habits of intercourse with the whites. The Jury retired a few minutes and re- turned a verdict of Not Guilty ...

Extracts from the Minutes of Evidence on the Aborigines - Rev. Threlkeld giving evidence - The native languages throughout New South Wales, are, I feel persuaded, based upon the same origin; but I have found the dialects of various tribes differ from that of those which occupy the country around Lake Macquarie; that is to say, of those tribes occupying the limits bounded by the North Head of Port Jackson, on the south, and Hunters River on the north, and extending inland about sixty miles, all of which speak the same dialect. The natives of Port Stephen use a dialect a little different, but not so much so as to prevent our understanding each other; but at Patricks Plains the difference is so great, that we cannot communicate with each other; there are blacks who speak both dialects. The dialect of the Sydney and Botany Bay natives varies in a slight degree, and in that of those further distant, the difference is such that no communication can be held between them and the blacks inhabiting the district in which I reside. From information obtained from Mr. Watson of Wellington Valley, I learn that the language of the tribes of that district, is also derived from the same general origin, but their various dialects also differ very much, and the use of any one dialect is very limited.
