Llewellin Hopkin was 50 years old when convicted of ‘Theft of sheep from John Jones, farmer of Coety. 17/4/1813 The Cambrian: (In part:) We have obtained the following note of parts of Mr. Justice Haiduige's Address to Llewellin Hopkin, convicted 3t' Sheep Stealing; it was delivered on Saturday. April the 13th at Cardiif. Llewellin Hopkin --I am really shocked at seeing a person of your creditable and imposing appearance, in the mi Idle of life, in possession of health and strength. destitute of all character, and subjected by irresistible proofs, to a Sentence of death, which the law inflicts upon your crime. You were a Farmer, you are now a Labourer; but you are about to be a convicted Criminal upon which account we cannot but fear that your change of condition has not resulted from you the visitation of misfortune, but from loss of character. The offence of Stealing Sheep, in all views of it most injurious lo the community, has. like other crimes, a number of shades and varieties. Your theft is not one of the most aggravated class- you pilfered a couple of Sheep from a neighbour's field, and converted them into meat. It should seem that you intended them for consumption at home. He then delivered the sentence of death. Colonial Secretary Papers: HOPKINS, Llewellin.

The prisoner was charged with having on the 29th of October last; inflicted divers wounds on the person of deceased, by beating him on the head with a pole, of which wounds he died on the 30th. The case was supported by circumstantial evidence only, but that was so strong that the gentlemen of the Jury he was sure would be satisfied as to the guilt of the prisoner; he would not occupy the time of the Court, but proceed to call witnesses. Guilty of manslaughter. Sentenced to serve one year in the Sydney Goal.
