Details:
Thomas Parry per Burrell 1830, prisoner for life assigned to the A.A. Company charged with buggery (violent rape). James Reed per Mangles 1837 deposed - I am assigned to Mr. Davis of Jerrys Plains and am employed at a sheep station of his at Currabubla Creek at Liverpool Plains as a shepherd. I was there on 22 September last and went out with my flock of sheep on that day about sun rise. A couple of hours before sun down I went to the creek. Two men came up. The prisoner at the bar was one of them. He was dressed in a blue plush waistcoat and blue regatta shirt, a pair of moleskin trowsers and wore a straw hat. He had a large quantity of hair on his face both whiskers and moustache. He had a pistol in his hand. He used great violence against me and caused me to bleed a great deal. I was unable to turn from my bed for ten days. A man called Richard Shea, another shepherd found me and helped me home. The man who abused me had an anchor on his arm. The other man watched from the bank but did not abuse me. I have heard people call him sailor Bill. I believe his right name is Faulkner. James Nunn per Portland 1832, I am assigned servant to Mr. Davis and employed as hutkeeper and watchman at his station near Currabubla. The boy Reed when he was bought in by Richard Shea was in a dreadful state. We had to remain up with him all night. He said he would never go with a flock of sheep to the waterhole again at that station. The next morning I went and reported what happened at the station. The prisoner Thomas Parry was committed for trial. Magistrate Edward D. Day
