Convict Notes
Committed for trial. — Michael Daw was fully committed for trial by the police magistrate on Friday last, for robbing the person of the Rev. Mr. Medland some time ago. The prisoner was the accomplice of Buchanan Wilson, who was hung lately for the same offence. Daw attempted to prove that he was a free man by producing his brother's certificate of freedom which he had in his pocket, but it clearly appeared to Mr. Wilmot that Daw was a prisoner of the crown and an absconder. [The Tasmanian Colonist, 27 Oct 1851, p. 2.]
