Henry Lewis per ship Guildford, in Mr. J. Newton s service and Michael Lane per ship Daphne in government service, charged with theft. Charles Quin, soldier in the Buffs, states - I was at Mr. Cheers House the night before last. I had been drinking and had taken too much. When I got sober I missed some money from my pocket. I found that the fob in which my money was had been cut; the money was knotted up in an old black silk stocking. There were about 1 pound 13 shillings in English shillings. The piece of the fob and the silk stocking ow before the court are my property and are those taken from me when I was robbed of my money. John Neale a free man states - I was at Mr. Cheers house on Monday night about 7 o clock. I saw Quin there in a state of intoxication. The prisoners were drinking at a little distance from him. I saw Lewis put his hand to Quins watch pocket and take something which I supposed was his watch. Lewis made off immediately. I followed him and laid hold of his jacket pocket in which I felt a lump, which I still thought to be a watch. I told Lewis he had better return the property he had taken to the owner of it but he rushed away in doing which he pulled me to the ground on my knees. I got on my legs and followed him calling aloud for assistance. He was met near the Chief constables house by some constables who stopt him; I told the chief constable all I have now stated and that I was sure he had robbed the soldier of something. I never lost sight of Lewis from the time he meddled with the soldier until he was stopt by the constables .The following morning I accompanied the constables to search for the money which it had been ascertained had been stolen from the soldier. We were a good while looking for it without success. I was at a little distance from the other constables when looking over the paling of Mr. Muirs yard I saw some money scattered about and the stocking lying near. I called the constables who picked up the money. George Muir states - On Monday evening immediately after I had attended the Barrack muster, I heard an exclamation of stop thief. On approaching the place form whence the noise came, which was close to my house I found three or four persons assembled who accompanied me to the rear of my premises where we met Lewis who appeared to have come from the Gully which is close by. I searched him but did not find anything suspicious. I ordered the constable of the night to keep a good look out on the spot where I had stopt Lewis and the next morning the money etc were brought to me by Constable riley. Neale was close to Lewis when he was taken and accused him of having robbed a soldier at Mr. Cheers house. Constable Peter Riley states - I was present on Monday night when Lewis was taken as described by the last witness. I was the constable of the night and kept a particular look out on the spot to see that no one came there during the night. The next morning a search was made for the stolen property. Neale saw the money through the paling and I went and picket it up; it was quite near the place where Lewis was taken the night before. He must have passed close to it as he came along the Gully. The prisoner states in his defence - I was drinking at Cheers house on Monday evening. On leaving it to go to my lodgings I was followed by Neale who stopt me on the outside and demanded his regulars. I told him I did not understand what he meant and I pushed him away and proceeded on towards my lodging when I was stopt by the constables; I had no reason for going by the unfrequented path I did in the rear of Mr. Muirs house; I know nothing of the robbery; when Neale stopt me at Cheers and accused me of having robbed the soldier of his watch, another soldier came to the door and said that the watch had not been stolen. Henry Lewis sentenced to 3 years to a penal settlement. Lane acquitted.
