Details:
Susan Grey per Broxbornebury and Sarah Freeman per Janus, both in service of government, charged with frequent drunkenness and disorderly conduct and for harbouring and receiving prisoners and other improper characters at their residence at unseasonable hours. The Chief Constable states...the prisoners have frequently come under my notice for some months past for keeping a disorderly house and for harbouring some of the most suspicious characters resorting to Newcastle. These women are in the constant habit of getting drunk and encouraging depredation and I have strong reason to justify that the linen lately stolen from Government House was taken by their connivance if not by their assistance. They are both very bad characters......Samuel Whitney per Glatton, in the service of government charged with having property in his possession knowing it to have been stolen and for frequent drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The Chief Constable states....The prisoner is a very disorderly character, he comes frequently under my notice in a state of intoxication. I searched his box this morning and found a pair of soldiers trousers but I believe he bought them tho it is contrary to orders to purchase anything from the military. I dont think the trousers were stolen. The three prisoners made no defence......Susan Grey, Sarah Freeman and Samuel Whitney were sentenced to Moreton Bay
