It may be within the memory of most of our readers, that, about twelve months ago, two native blacks were tried at the Maitland Supreme Court, on separate charges of rape and attempting that offence. One of these villains, named Darby, was convicted of the capital offence, and sentence of death recorded against him, with an intimation that his life would be spared. The other native, known as Telligherry Jack, was found guilty of the minor offence, and sentenced to two years confinement, with hard labour. These cases created some public sensation at the time, for about the same period two men, named Diamond and McKie, who had been convicted of crimes of this nature, were hanged without mercy, and it was thought that even justice ought to have been dealt in their cases and in that of the native black Darby. Nor was this all. In the case of Telligherry Jack, the public saw cause for the strongest indignation against the law officers of the Crown. That monstrous criminal had tried all in his power to murder the poor girl whom he had attempted to abuse. She was thrown into a waterhole, and with difficulty saved her life by secreting her- self amongst the reeds. The general opinion was that the prisoner ought to have been indicted for the attempt at murder, but such a step was not taken. He was tried only for a misdemeanour, and received the light sentence we have named. ......

On the 16th September, Rev. Threlkeld wrote, - the aborigines met to decide by mortal combat some disagreement; and, unfortunately, they chose the scene of action close to our house, just at a period when quietness was most needed, in the family circumstances. Many of them assembled and some were intoxicated. Their shouts, noise, clatter of spears and shields, with the loud whish of a weapon they throw in the air, were exceedingly annoying. But though they were highly enraged at my request, they departed and shortly afterwards they dispersed. Three of their number were wounded in the encounter. (This was the day of the birth of daughter Elizabeth Sophie) (NMH 11 September 1912)

Samuel Beckett and Duncan Kennedy both in government service charged with being out of quarters at unseasonable hours and on suspicion of attempting a robbery at the Farm Cottage occupied by Rev. Threlkeld....Mr. Threlkeld states. ....between one and two oclock yesterday morning the dogs at the farm gave an alarm, I got out of bed and went to the camp of the native blacks near the house. One of them told me some white men had been there and had struck him with a musket and told him to be gone. A man servant at the farm searched the adjacent grounds and saw some men concealed who made off on perceiving him. Joseph Davis snapt his pistol at one of them but it missed fire. Throsby the black fired but missed his object.. Joseph Davis states - About 1/2 past twelve yesterday morning I was abed and heard the dogs making a great noise. A native black called Throsby came and called m and said there were white men with muskets threatening to shoot him. I got my pistol and opened the window but did not then see any stranger; I went to the fire where the blacks were and then saw a man at distance running. I cannot speak to his person. I did not go to bed but remained with the blacks. The master retired to the house. About an hour after one of the blacks told me there was a stranger behind one of the huts. I went and asked who was there but did not get an answer but a man ran away. I shot my pistol at him, it miss fired. Throsby fired but without effect. We followed the man a short distance but lost sight of him. Kennedy, the man I shot at was only five or six yards from him. Two native blacks, Throsby and Purcell state that they saw at the farm yesterday morning four men, two of them had muskets, the person who had the muskets were named Leary or Lowe, bot free. Leary struck Throsby with the butt end of his musket. Beckett and Kennedy were with them. In this stage of the proceedings the Chief Constable stated that from certain private information he had received it was probably on further enquiry the intentions of the prisoners in going to the farm would be brought to light. Prisoners remanded to the following day

The Awabakal man who stands out in the historical record is Wepohng, better known as Biraban or Magill. He was clearly a superb linguist and a great teacher and is probably largely responsible, through translation, for much of the information Threlkeld collected. He moved freely between Lake Macquarie and Newcastle and was well acquainted with the various routes through the SRA. Born c. 1800 he had spent time in Sydney, where he learnt to speak English fluently. In 1821 he was sent with Captain Francis Allman to set up the new penal settlement at Port Macquarie, where he also acted as bush constable. On his return to Newcastle he married Tipahmahah, by whom he had a son Yerowwa/Francis, born in 1823 (Gunson 1974: 317)
