James Godber per ship Manlius, assigned to Stephen Coxen and James Fitzpatrick per ship Jane also assigned to Stephen Coxen, charged with stealing in a dwelling house. John Bingle states - Early on Thursday morning my servant called me stating that the harness room had been robbed of saddle and bridles and the groom s clothes. I got up and found it correct. I then sent to the Mounted Police to inform them of the robbery; they came up and we found fresh tracks near the building; we procured three native blacks and put them on the tracks near the building which had been robbed which is used as a store, barn, coach house, harness room; likewise used as a dwelling house by my servants. We followed them on and traced them into one of the huts at Mr. Coxen s. I then ordered the men who lived in that hut to be brought to me. I examined their shoes and found them to correspond with the tracks; taking the men back some distance to satisfy myself I left them in charge of the farm constable and proceeded on the same tracks from the hut; we traced them twice across the brook and then through Mr. Coxen s paddock to his sheep station where we found concealed in the sheep dung a four bushel bag containing the property stolen from my harness room, consisting of a new saddle and bridle, breaking in gear, grooms clothing, all taken out of my harness room which I swear is my property with the exception of the saddle which is the property of Dr. MacCartney at present residing with me. The value of which exceeds five pounds. Mr. Bingle further states that there were a few nails in the heels and tow of one of the tracks the latter rather remarkable which exactly corresponded with the shoes the men had on when I took him back to prove them; the other tracks had been trodden a little to one side which also corresponded with the other man s boot. Corporal Keeling of the Mounted Police states - On Thursday morning the 25th inst. Mr. Bingle sent a message down to me to inform me that he had been robbed. I immediately went up the weather being wet, I thought I could easily come upon the tracks. Mr. Bingle with myself went round the farm in search of tracks and came upon two tracks leading to the place which had been robbed. We got three native blacks which I put on the tracks and followed them to one of Mr. Coxens huts where we questioned the men. Mr. Coxen states - a pair of trousers now produced were found in a waterhole yesterday behind my garden and near the hut where the prisoners reside. I have reason to believe that they belong to the prisoner Fitzpatrick from the circumstance of their being ship trowsers and there being none of the kind on the farm with the exception of one other pair which are still in the possession of the proper owner and have been altered to fit him. I obliged the prisoner Fitzpatrick at his work that day he had the trowsers now produced on in comparatively a clean condition to what they are at present being a wet day he was employed indoors handing tobacco. I remarked next morning when he came out to work he had on a clean pair of trowsers. The prisoner Godber denies the charge and says that the print did not correspond with his boot. The prisoner Fitzpatrick denies the charge and says that most of the men on the farm have their shoes made from the same last. The Bench direct the prisoners shall be committed to take their trail at the Supreme Court. George Elery and Charles James charged with being accessories to the robbery on Wednesday night last, the Bench determine that although the circumstances are very suspicious against them they would not be warranted in committing them for trail They therefor discharge them.

James Godbey per ship Manlius, assigned to Stephen Coxen, charged with insolence and refusing to work.Patrick Lockgood states - I am overseer to Mr. Coxen. On Saturday last I ordered the prisoner to repair a pair of boots which he refused to do. I ordered him a second time to do them when he threw them at me and told me to do them myself and used very indecent language...The prisoner states in his defence denies throwing the boots at the overseer and says he was not aware Mr. Lockwood was overseer to Mr. Coxen or had any charge. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to receive punishment of fifty lashes. At the particular request of the master overseer and the Bench considering it as principally an offence against the master overseer remit the punishment
