Convict Notes
David Rigby, a ticket of leave man, was brought before the Bench, charged by Hugh Morrison with having hired a cart of him about 14 months ago, and agreeing to pay 4s. a week for the same. Since the period stated, however, the prisoner had never made his appearance, nor in any way renumerated the complainant for the loan of the cart, which induced him to state the matter to the Police, and Chapman this morning apprehended the prisoner in the market place. The prisoner, on being called up in for his defence, admitted the truth of Morrison's statement, and promised to return the cart, together with the amount of the agreement when he got his wheat off the ground. This assurance did not prevent him from getting his ticket of leave cancelled, nor from being turned into barracks.
