Details: Alexander Philip, free by servitude, appeared to answer an information against him for selling spirituous liquors without being duly licenced. The following affidavit was read in the presence of Alexander Philip and William Brown....Constable William Brown states - that on Saturday last he went to the house of Alexander Philip and called for a half a pint of rum, that it was delivered to him and that he paid down a dump and received three pence change; and he further saith that he drank the rum in the house, no person being present but the inmates thereof.....Alexander Philips states - I know nothing of the transaction. I was at sea on my return from Sydney on the Saturday mentioned by Brown. John Millet being duly sworn - On Saturday week last I was at the house of Mr. Philip all the day. I lived there whilst Mr. Philip was away in Sydney. I was in the house all Saturday evening and all night. If any person had got spirits there that day or that evening I must have seen it. Brown the constable never was in the house to my knowledge on that day or evening. I might have gone out once or twice in the course of the day for water but after sunset I never went out of the house. It is a very small house consisting only of a bedroom and sitting room. I never saw Brown get any spirits at Mr. Philips whilst I was there. There was not any spirits in the house, to my knowledge, till Mr. Philip came from Sydney on the day following when he brought a small quantity with him.. On the Monday evening I was in the house when a man named Johnston was there. He had some spirits to drink but it was bought at his request at a neighbouring public house. Mr. Muir, Chief Constable states - I have noticed the general conduct of the inmates of Mr. Philips house; never saw anything but the most perfect propriety and good order on his part and that of his family. I have frequent opportunities of observing them as I generally pass by the house two or three times every day. This information dismissed by the Bench

Details: John Frith in government service charged with theft. Mrs. Catherine Reilly states - On Saturday last the prisoner came to my house in company with some passengers just landed from the Lord Liverpool Packet for whom I was directed to prepare breakfast. They gave the prisoner something to drink. On his going away he seemed to loiter and to be watching me. Although I was busy at the time, it struck me that there was something suspicious about his motions, particularly as he is known to be a bad character. I therefore suddenly quitted my employment and went towards my bedroom, through a broken pane in the window of which I saw a man s arm in the act of conveying away a waistcoat, which I suppose on hearing me was dropped. On examining my room I missed a black cloth waistcoat and a small box and bag containing various articles. On the sleeve of the arm introduced through the broke pane of glass was a piece of canvas sown on and I am almost certain from having previously noticed that the prisoners sleeve was patched with canvas, that it was his arm, but I cannot take on myself to swear to it. Constable William Brown, states - On Mrs. Reilly giving the alarm that she was robbed and informing me that she considered Frith to be the thief, I immediately took him into custody. He had a brown jacket on. There were not any canvas patches on the sleeves of it. The prisoner states - I know nothing of the robbery. John Frith acquitted
