TUESDAY. The Court was engaged during the whole of the day in trying cases from remote parts of the hundred. They were generally of a trivial description, and possessed no features of public interest—The following was almost the only case worthy of notice: ROBBERY AT BURY. Charles Barlow, ? John Brown, ?, and Joseph Lutman, 19, were indicted for stealing on the ? of March, fifteen silver tablespoons, twenty silver tea-spoons, and one pair of silver sugar tongs, the property Miss Notts, at Bury. We gave the particulars of this case at the time of the occurrence. The family had been attracted to the front  part of the house an exhibition of some in the street, and the prisoners took the opportunity to slip unperceived  into the house, by the back, and carry off the articles in the indictment. The prisoners were all found guilty. Barlow and Lutman were old offenders, and had been previously convicted. The former was sentenced to fourteen years' and the latter to seven years' transportation, and Brown to twelve months'  imprisonment at Lancaster Manchester Courier, 1 May 1830.

There were 2 Charles Barlows as convicts in NSW. The Charles Barlow per 'Henry Tanner' died in 1901. On the NSW BDM there is a death listed for Charles Barlow in 1835 - aged 36 (which does not match the birth date above) - but this Charles Barlow was not listed in the NSW Gov. Convict Records also no TOL or COF to be found on 'Trove' - so presumably the death could be for this Charles Barlow.
Charles Barlow was a native of the Isle of Man. He was tried at Manchester, 26th of April, 1830 & sentenced to 7 years transportation for stealing a plate. He was described as being 5'6 1/2"; stout, dark complexion, light brown hair, blue eyes & tattoos. Charles was assigned to Matthew Chapman at Williams River on arrival.
