George Campbell in the service of Mr. John Hillier charged with neglect of duty and strong suspicion of robbing his masters premises. Mr. Hillier states...On Sunday last previous to my going to church, I directed Campbell to be very careful of the house and not go out himself nor admit any person. I then locked the place where I kept my articles of value and went to Church leaving Campbell in charge. On my return I had occasion to get some articles I had left under lock but on trying the door it opened and I ascertained that the lock had been picked. I examined my property and missed some tea, tobacco and twenty pounds of sugar. Hampton, a prisoner of the Crown states - I am a watch man. Yesterday during Church time I saw McIntosh ( a stockman) go to Mr. Hilliers house when he went in he had his cap on when he came out he had it under his arm and seemed to carry something. Also saw a man about the premises called Sharky. These two men and Campbell were what is called sky larking together. Andrew McIntosh states...I was yesterday desired by James Thompson who has charge of the passage boat to go to Mr. Hilliers and get some tea, sugar and bread for him. I went and found Mr. Hillier was at Church and that the articles I wanted could not then be got. Whilst I was at the house a black native was there drunk, knocking my cap. I picked it up and left the house with it under my arm. I could not carry twenty pounds of sugar in a cap; I went back a second time at the request of Thompson but Mr. Hillier had not then returned and I did not stop a moment. The prisoner denied any knowledge of the robbery and says if any was committed it must have been done whilst he stood outside the door. George Campbell sentenced to 50 lashes and a penal settlement for 3 years
