William Atkinson per Guildford 1827 assigned to Mr. McCrohon, Robert Sheldon per Waterloo assigned to Edward Cory and advertised as a runaway from Mr. Burnetts service, Thomas Farrow per Mangles 1833 assigned to Edward Cory also advertised as a runaway from Mr. Burnetts service and James McCoy per Hive assigned to Mr. Pringle. Thomas Ward deposed - I am overseer to Mr. Williams at the Namoi river at Boggabri. I was there about 17 January last when a man came to my hut and asked for a drink which my wife gave him. He then went to the mens hut and got another drink. James Maloney told me that he saw this man hold up three of his fingers which he thought meant to let some others know that we were three men at the place. Immediately after four more men came walking up as quick as they could walk and gave the first man a pistol. Prisoner Thomas Farrow with a pistol in each hand stood over us telling us not to move and that they would not hurt us. Farrow said he would not hurt me as I was a poor man. They wanted nothing but provisions. They placed my wife, Edward Hollis and James Malony and a black boy all beside me. Another man stood at the back door with a pistol. He was the man who came up first and a third man stood over us beside Farrow while the remaining two searched the place. They took tea, tobacco, boots, clothing, silk handerchief, cheese, two pistols, knives and a lancet, a horse rasp, gunpowder and two quart pots. They offered no violence but I was in bodily fear. They took a watch which the man who came first gave back to us. The whole party was armed with pistols. Most of the property belonged to my master Mr. Robert Williams. James Rush deposed...I went down to another station and I left a man named Job Dews, an assigned servant of Mr. Bills in charge of my hut. I returned and saw the four prisoners in the hut. The prisoner Sheldon was the only one I recollected seeing before. Atkinson and Farrow presented their pistols at me. They said I was a great friend of the constables. Job Dews per Bengal Merchant assigned to Mr. William Bill deposed that the four prisoners were the men who robbed the station. The prisoners were committed for trial. - Note by Magistrate Edward Denny Day - I regret to state that the prisoners Atkinson, Sheldon and Farrow effected their escape from the watch house at Muswellbrook on the night of the 18th April last and are still at large

Ship:

Details:
By the Governor Phillips a cargo of fashionables, invalids and mad men, have been sent to Port Macquarie, to reflect on the past and think of the future. The same vessel takes nearly forty prisoners to Moreton Bay, among whom is that public of all characters, James Hardy Vaux. Among those destined for Port Macquarie, is Luke Dillon, a young man who appears fully sensible of his situation, and in whose behalf considerable interest has been taken in Sydney. The case of Dillon, in consequence of the discovery of new and important facts since the trial, is to undergo revisal before a high tribunal in England, and his friends look with confidence to the period when he will be restored to their society. The good effects which resulted at Wellington Valley, from the separation of persons of Dillon's character and former situation in life, from the mass of offenders, it is to be hoped, will be continued ; and in order to stimulate them to good conduct, their residence should be restricted to a particular period.

MR. LUKE DILLON. We feel infinite pleasure in copying the following paragraph from Stewart's Despatch. When the gratifying intelligence reached this country, the joy of the people for many miles around was un-bounded. Bonfires were lighted in every village, and the entire neighbourhood from Westmeath to Carnedoe was in a blaze.- Roscommon Journal, June 27th : - PARDON OF LUKE DILLON.- Many Unfounded rumours have been at various times spread respecting Mr. Luke Dillon since his banishment from this country. Applications for his pardon have been for some time under the consideration of Government, the result of which has been at length communicated by Lord Melbourne, in a letter just received at Dublin Castle. His Lordship's letter states, that on the fullest consideration of the documents laid before him, he has advised his Majesty to grant a pardon to Mr. Dillon, subject, however to the re- striction that he shall not be permitted to reside out of his Majesty's Australian dominions.-Stewart's Despatch Mr. Dillon, is now, we believe, at Port Macquarie.
