Timothy Duffy per ship Countess of Harcourt, in government service, charged with theft....John Thomas states - On Tuesday morning between one and two oclock, I heard a slight noise in the skilling behind my cottage. I got out of bed and going round to the rear I saw a man run into a shed adjoining. I called out for a constable, who lived close by who immediately came to my assistance. He went into the shed and brought out the prisoner who addressed himself to me saying - As there is nothing gone, you may as well let me off - Robert Young, constable states - Yesterday morning I was alarmed by Thomas calling on me for assistance. I got out of bed and hastened to where he was standing; he told me the skilling had been entered and that the man who had done it was in my shed. I went in and brought out Duffy. At the door of the skilling there was a box which had been forced open. It belongs to a woman who occupied the skilling but who at that time was absent on duty at the hospital. The lock of the skilling door had been opened with a false key which I found; inside there was a bundle made up ready to carry away. The prisoner states - I was passing by on my way to my work at the mines; I had occasion to go into the shed and they said I had broke into the skilling. Timothy Duffy sentenced to 3 years extension of his original sentence

James Longbottom, Patrick Simpson per Ann and Amelia, Timothy Duffy, per ship Countess of Harcourt, William Pitt per ship Henry, and Samuel Stapleton per ship Asia, all in government service, charged with gambling. Constable William Turvey, states - I was informed by James Wilkins (late overseer of the gaol gang) yesterday, that there were several men in a hut in St. Patricks Street, gambling. Wilkins appeared to be in liquor at the time. Mr. Muir was immediately informed of what Wilkins had told me. Mr. Muir and a constable lost no time in going to the house pointed out. Chief Constable George Muir states - I was informed yesterday of some prisoners being in a hut gambling; I went immediately thither; I found several persons in the hut, but did not see any appearance of gambling. On leaving the house, I met Wilkins who named the prisoners now before the court as the gamblers. James Wilkins states - I saw all the prisoners now before the court gambling yesterday; I looked in at the window of the hut where they were, four of them were actually at play and Longbottom was watching. There were other persons in the hut. They were throwing up halfpence. The prisoners generally deny the charge - call Dennis Flannery, constable, states - Wilkins told me yesterday that when he pointed out the gamblers to the Chief Constable, he was so drunk he did not know what he was about......All the prisoners acquitted of the charge except Stapleton who is ordered to be lumbered four successive Saturdays on account of his being in a hut not his own residence.
