Convict Notes
CENTRAL POLICE COURT. FRIDAY.BEFORE Mr. Dowling. Edmund Nye was charged with sheep stealing. Inspector Higgins deposed that in consequence of information received, he yesterday proceeded to the residence of the prisoner, and apprehended him for stealing three sheep, the property of Mr. DeLange, of Blackwattle Swamp, carcase butcher. He found three quarters of a sheep on his premises ; Nye denied having stolen it, but said that he had been employed by a female to slaughter a sheep for her, for which she gave him all but one quarter, which she kept for the use of herself and family of six children in consequence, he (Mr. Higgins)" subsequently apprehended the woman as an accessory (we do not publish her name, in as much as she was discharged by the magistrate, there appearing no reason to believe Nye's improbable story, and it might be injurious to the person indeed, who has a large family dependent on her exertions), some cold beef but no mutton was found on her premises ; subsequent inquiry induced him to visit Mr. Walton's tan yard at the Glebe, where he found a skin, which was identified as belonging to one of the three missing sheep. A person in the employ of Mr. Lloyd, clerk to Mr. Delange, deposed that on Saturday last there were too sheep on Mr. Delange's premises, from which drafts were daily made for slaughter until yesterday morning, when the remainder were found to be three deficient; he could not say when they were taken, they may have been taken fit either one or several times ; the skin produced belonged to one of those sheep ; it bears Mr. Delange's mark ; the skin is worth 2s. 6d. ; the sheep was a very poor one, and was not worth more than 5s. altogether, Mr. Walton, of the Glebe, woolbroker, tanner, deposed that on Wednesday prisoner offered him the skin produced, which he said was his own, and he purchased it for 2s. 6d. Committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. Bail allowed in £100 with two sureties in £50 each.
