Details:
James Hewson, in service of Francis Little charged with theft. Mr. Little states - about 14 months ago a trunk containing a variety of articles was stolen on my way to my farm. The prisoner was with the cart at the time of my missing the trunk. Amongst other things stolen from me were some silver tea spoons and some razors. I have no doubt of the spoons before the court being mine. I am not quite certain as to the razors but they are of the same pattern. Sometime previous to the spoons being stolen from me, I had a seen the prisoners box at which time he had not any spoons. Francis Blower Gibbes Esq., states - A short time since I was informed that the prisoner had been offering tea spoons for sale. I ordered his box to be searched in me presence. The spoons and razors were found in the box as well as several other articles of a suspicious nature. On my first questioning Hewson, where he got the spoons he said he had found them on the road to Sydney but afterwards he said he had brought them to the colony and that they had been in is possession sixteen years. Thomas Tyrie in the service of Mr. Little, states - my master was robbed about two years ago. I am not certain as to time. A great many things were stolen. There were some silver tea spoons, those now before the court are some of them. I had no particular mark but I am certain they are the same from the letters on them. I have had them in my hands frequently to clean. The prisoner states - I told Mr. Gibbes, I had found the razors on the road to Sydney not the spoons. The spoons have been in my possession six years and in that of my family sixteen years. I brought six of them to the colony with me. Two of them have been stolen from me, the other four are my property. I know nothing of Mr. Littles robbery either from the cart or at the farm. James Hewson sentenced to a penal settlement for 3 years. Mr. Gibbes states he has a cow and calf in his possession belonging to James Hewson.
