Convict Notes
Prin. Sup, of Convicts Office, Sydney, 12th September, 1849. THE undermentioned prisoners of the Crown holding Tickets of Leave being absent from their districts are illegally at large :— Joe Frazer, Moffatt, 1838, 30, Barbadoes, laborer, 5 feet 3¼ inches, black comp., black and woolly hair, black eyes, horizontal scar under left eyebrow, scar on back of right hand, scar on left eyebrow, another on back of lower left arm, large scar on right shin, man of color; ticket of leave, Bathurst, since August last. NSW Govt Gazette, 14 Sept 1849. Bathurst Quarter Sessions. Thursday November 1st. Joe Frazer, a man of colour, stood indicted for stealing a variety of articles, the poperty of Mr Henry Rotton. Mary Anne Rotton, the wife of Mr. H. Rotton deposed that the prisoner was in her employ about twelve months ago; missed during the period of his service a number of articles, consisting of crockery, glass, spoons, linen, &c. ; made no mention of the circumstance to the prisoner ; witness cannot say by whom he was next employed ; remained in her service about nine months. Witness subsequently saw at the Police Office several articles similar to those she had missed; will swear that the spoon now produced is her property, it is marked with her initial ; the other articles she is unable positively to identify. Prisoner left at his own request in consequence of a disagreement with his fellow servants. Mr. H. Rotton corroborated the above testimony, he also identified some plates, saucers, &c, as forming part of the missing articles. Mary Ann Neal is in the service of Mr. Fowler; about two months ago, prisoner, on entering the same employ, gave her some plates and the spoon now produced to take care of ; told witness, that they formerly belonged to a person named Williams, from whom he received them in satisfaction of a debt; witness carried the things into her bedroom, but subsequently gave them up to the police. Constable Finnerty apprehended the prisoner at Mr. Fowler's, and received on that occasion from the last witness seven plates and a spoon from Mrs. Fowler; prisoner wished to send to a person named Williams for some shirts, witness accordingly went there and obtained from that individual the articles produced: he stated that the prisoner left them with him until such times as he could open an eating house. Prisoner in his defence alleged that he knew nothing about the plates and spoon, the rest of the articles he brought with him from Sydney. The Jury, without any hesitation, found the prisoner guilty. In reply to a question from the Chairman, the chief constable stated that the prisoner was a ticket of leave holder illegally at large; he was gazetted as an absentee from Hyde Park Barracks. The Court, after a few remarks upon the wholesale system of plunder carried on for some time by the prisoner, sentenced him to twelve months hard labour on the roads. Bathurst Free Press, 3 Nov 1849.
