NSW Govt Gazette, 11 July 1838. PARRAMATTA- Sly Grog Selling It having been ascertained that some party was supplying the Railway labourers and others working in the Bush near the town, the chief constable was on the alert, and on Saturday last, William Kitchener as convicted of the offence, on the clearest evidence, and fined £30. The defendant did not appear, and is most probably at some distant diggings by this time with the proceeds of his short reign, which is understood to have been very successful. Thus, he stands a chance of escaping unpunished: it would be very desirable that when a person is taken flagrante delicto as in this case, he should be apprehended at once. Empire, 31 Mar 1854.
Sydney. Bench of Magistrates. John Davis, William Clements, and William Kitchener were accused of having forged and attempted to utter a Store Receipt for 23£, falsely purporting to be drawn by Mr. Richard Fitzgerald, Storekeeper at Windsor. Clements, disguised as a settler, tendered it to Mr. R. Jenkins in payment of goods, and Mr. Jenkins, suspecting the fraud, asked him to accompany him as far as Mr. Commissary Broughton's, which he did, and was secured, as he chose to give no further account than that he found it. The two other prisoners were afterwards taken up on suspicion, and confessed their guilt—As they were all prisoners the Bench thought proper to order, that Clements and Davis should receive 100 lashes each, and be kept three years to hard labour wheresoever His EXCELLENCY the GOVERNOR should be pleased to direct : which latter sentence was also pronounced on Kitchener.
