They have since converted the blankets to various purposes making bags, and cutting off strips to bind round their legs. The Woollen they now have wrapt round their legs if part of the blankets. James Crofts further states - I found a rope on Lewis Collins the day before yesterday. I asked him where he got it. He refused to tell me but said he meant to sell it. I had heard that the signal halyard had been stolen from the cutter Eclipse - I have no doubt the rope I found on him belongs to that vessel...Sentences - Lewis Collins 50 lashes. The others 25 lashes each

Mary Hart per Woodman and Thomas Collins per Almorah, prisoners in the service of John Laurio Platt.....Mr. Platt states that sometime since I lost a telescope, the one now before the court, that I suspected the prisoners of being concerning in the robbery of which he gave notice at the Police Office . William Turvey, a constable states the he was order to convey Mary Hart to the gaol on suspicion of robbing her master; On the road I told her she had better let me know what had become of the glass. She said if I would return she would tell the Chief Constable. I returned with her when she told him in my presence that she has taken the glass from her masters house and given it to Collins who had hit it, but she could not tell where; Soon after I took Collins into custody who undertook to show me where the Glass was. I accompanied him to Iron Bark Hill, Mr. Platts farm and a short distance from Mr. Platts house Collins stopped and said the Glass is concealed hereabouts. I searched about and soon found a glass buried in the ground. It is the one now before the court. The prisoners made no defence. Both prisoners sentenced to Port Macquarie for the remainder of the respective sentences
