Convict Notes
The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser (NSW : 1803 - 1842) Sun 28 Aug 1808 Page 2. SYDNEY. S Y D N E Y. Sitting Magistrate for the ensuing week— W. LAWSON, Esq. The price of bread as last week. On Tuesday night John Brazil, a free servant of Mr. Thompson, at Hawkesbury, was found murder- ed by the contents of a musket being lodged in his belly. The circumstances attending this murder are of a singular nature.—It was suspected that the deceased had gone in company with some other person or persons to rob the pig stye of Robert Richie, on the South Creek ; and being separated from his accomplices was by then mistaken for one of the servants of the house, and shot dead upon the spot. The day following a representation was made to Archibald Bell, Esq. who by virtue of a special appointment performed the duty of Coroner, and took an inquest on the body of the deceased. In the course of the enquiry it was represented to the jury, that the deceased lodged in a hut of Mr. A. Thompson's, in company with two other men, Robert Rope and Mark Eivers, who were brought forward ; when it appeared that Rope was in the continual habit of carrying a musket, for the protection of his master's property ; upon examining which it appeared to have been recently discharged. On the investigation some circumstances appeared, which induced the jury to commit both the above persons for the murder.
