In December 1845 Tarr was in the employ of Mr Austin had in his possession of a large basket containing about eleven dozen eggs, the property of his master. Being a pass-holder, he was dealt with summarily and sentenced to hard labour in chains for six months. We hear that Mr Austin has suffered great loss by the "weedling"of his extensive poultry establishment and there is no doubt that Mr James Tarr has most ably aided and abetted in this bad work.
