Convict Notes
Footnote: 19 April, 1861: From the Perth Gazette, p2: "Perth Police Court... ROBBERY.- Darby Fury, t.l., was charged by W. Rearden with having assaulted and robbed him on the Perth causeway, on the 10th inst., of money orders to the amount of £30. The complainant stated that since he had laid the information against the prisoner, he found that he had not been robbed of the money orders which had been named in the charge, Mr Sinclair of Toodyay, having taken them out of his pocket before he left Guildford, in consequence of his being somewhat under the influence of liquor. The only thing he had lost was an empty pocket book. The complainant continued—About 7 o'clock on the night of the 10th inst., he was coming across the Causeway from the Races, when hearing a number of carts coming up behind, he crossed over the rail for safety, and as he did so, he heard a voice call out, "Are you going to Perth?" He replied" Yes." He almost immediately received a blow under the left ear which felled him to the ground. The person who did so then put his hand into his pocket and took out his pocket book, and made off. He had no hesitation in swearing that the prisoner was the man who had robbed and assaulted him. He never lost sight of the prisoner who, as soon as he had rifled his pocket, made his way across the bridge, and on the complainant reaching the Guard Room, he informed the soldiers of what had occurred, when they instantly ran out and arrested the prisoner. Private Delahunt, of Her Majesty's 12th Regt., arrested the prisoner about 30 yards from the Guard House, he was standing a few paces off the footpath in the bush. The complainant instantly recognised the prisoner as the man who had robbed him. The police were then sent for. Police Constable Harrison took the prisoner into custody and searched him, but found nothing on his person. Sub Inspecter Timperley requested his Worship to remand the case, for the purpose of ascertaining whether Mr Sinclair had returned Rearden's pocket book, as it was probable that if he took his money he likewise took that in which it was contained. The prisoner was accordingly remanded."
