Details: James Wright per Coromandel, assigned servant to Benjamin Davis, accused by Mr. Horton of attempting to commit a robbery at his hut. John Brown Hutkeeper, testified...On Monday the 9th instant, I was clearing the stockyard. The hut was about 100 yards off. I had locked the door. I saw a man creeping along the ground. I suspected he was there for no good. I asked him to get up from the ground and go away. The man ran into the scrub. I was afraid to follow him. I suspected the prisoner to be the man and I went to a constable and had him taken into custody. Complaint dismissed for want of evidence
