George McNichol per ship Isabella, in the service of William Bradridge, charged with making away with his masters property under aggravated circumstances. Mr. William Bradridge states - last Friday week I gave my servant McNichol a pair of shoes and blanket in lieu of others lost by him, also some tobacco for his use; I directed him to return to my farm up the river and take charge of an deliver to Mr. Andrew Sparkes, seven sacks of a wool pack which I had borrowed from him; McNichol left my house with these articles in his possession. He returned to my house on Sunday evening stating himself to be unwell. He brought neither blanket or shoes with him; he told me he had delivered the wool pack and bags to Mr. Sparkes ; on Tuesday last I learnt from Mr. Sparkes that McNichol had neither been at the farm, nor had the pack or bags been delivered as stated by McNichol and that he had only arrived at the farm the preceding evening without either bags, blankets or shoes. The day before yesterday a bullock driver came to my house and offered me three bags for sale. I suspected they were Mr. Sparkes bags, I therefore gave the price asked for them and told the chief constable what I had done. Daniel Tyndal states - The prisoner came to me last week offering to sell me some bags; he was drunk. I would not have any dealings with him. Patrick McNamara states - the prisoner came to my quarters last week - he brought with him some bags and a pair of shoes. He gave me a bag for my own use. He gave William Bagshaw another and also some to sell. He asked Bagshaw to sell the shoes for him. Bagshaw went away with three bags and the shoes and soon returned bringing the shoes back but no bags. I understood they were sold. There are now four bags and a pack at my quarters left by the prisoner. He told me Mr. Sparkes was his master. The prisoner states - after receiving the property from my master, I got intoxicated and lost it; I know nothing of McNamara or Bagshaw. George McNicholl sentenced to 75 lashes
