Colonial conviction: Gen. Sessions, Sydney, 16 Jun 1826, Robbing his master, 3 years. To Sydney 21 Jun 1829. Description: Edward Carr, native of Dublin, age 20, 5 ft 4 ¾ in; Sallow comp. Lt brown hair, hazel eyes. Edward Carr, was yesterday brought up on a charge, of robbing his master, Mr. Wilford. It appeared from the evidence, that Mr. W. having occasion to leave Sydney for a short time, confided the care of his house and property to the prisoner; on a few evenings after he reported to the Chief Constable, that Mr. W's premises had been feloniously entered and robbed. The latter, upon hearing this information inspected the place, but could not be convinced of the prisoner's alleged entire ignorance of the robbery; he was consequently taken up, and as nothing particular could be brought forward to invalidate those suspicious. The prisoner was sentenced to a penal settlement for 3 years. The Australian, 17 Jun 1826. ---------------------------------------------------- Convicts Index 1791-1873.
