Michael Murray per ship Southworth and William Halfpenny per ship Ann and Amelia, both in government service, charged with theft at the premises of Mr. John Smith. George Furby (Furber) , adopted son of Mr. John Smith states - About 7 yesterday evening, Murray came to my father s shop followed by Halfpenny and Broadbent, the turnkey of the gaol. Murray asked me for some spirits which I refused. I was called into an adjoining room for a moment leaving them in the shop. As I was returning I saw Broadbent throw a piece of handkerchief and some stuff behind the counter. I think he must have heard me returning. He seized Murray at the same time by the collar exclaiming as I turned to tell my father what had occurred - Ive got him - I did not notice anything particular in regard to Halfpenny only his being in company with the others and their being all on the gaol establishment. Mr. John Smith states - Last night my son George gave an alarm by calling out that some men had attempted to rob the shop; I myself heard some articles fall and went into the shop immediately. I should have gone from what I had heard even if my son had not called me. I asked Broadbent if he being a constable would stand there and see me robbed - he replied he had not, that he had seized the man who had attempted it. I looked over the counter and saw the piece of handkerchief and stuff now before the court on the ground. Murray and Halfpenny are I believe wardsmen at the gaol and seeing Broadbent in their company I thought he had come with them, which however he denied, but I was afterwards informed by my son that he had come in with the two other men, which led me to suspect he was conniving at the attempt to rob me, altho upon its being detected he had seized Murray by the collar. Broadbent quitted my shop at my desire and I had the two prisoners taken into custody. John Broadbent states in exculpation of his suspicious conduct that last night the two prisoners were absent from their duty at gaol and that he was ordered by the gaoler go in search of them, particularly of Murray; that he found him at a public house intoxicated; that he ordered him (Murray) to return to the gaol but that on his way he slipt in to Smiths; that he (Broadbent) pursued him and was immediately followed by Halfpenny; that he heard Murray ask for a half pint of spirits which was refused; that Mr. Smiths son George going to another room, Murray leapt on the counter and laid hold of the articles now in court but that the moment that he Broadbent, seized him by the collar, they were dropped by Murray behind the counter. George Furby called and re-examined states - I am positive I saw Broadbent throw the piece of handkerchief and stuff behind the counter. Michael Murray being called on for his defence states - I went into Mr. Smiths in a state of intoxication and called for liquor which was refused. Mr. Smiths son leaving the shop I got on the counter and took the articles upon which Broadbent seized me by the collar, when I threw them over the counter. William Halfpenny states - I followed Broadbent into Mr. Smiths. I had no concern with Murray in the robbery. Sentence: Michael Murray two years hard labour at a penal settlement. William Halfpenny one year addition to his original sentence of transportation
