COLONIAL TRIALS 1826 - The Hobart Town Gazette. Sat 9 Dec 1826 Charles Bradshaw was convicted, before James Scott, Esq. and the Rev R. Knopwood, of selling spirits at his house in Hobart Town, without a license, and was fined £50 and costs. This case was decided upon the clearest evidence, although an attempt was made to disprove the fact by two witnesses, whose testimony. 1827 - Colonial Times and Tasmanian Advertiser. Fri 18 May 1827. Charles Thomas Bradshaw, a free man, residing at a house near the Barrack-hill, was indicted for violently assaulting a prisoner named William Murphy, and robbing him of 33s. in silver. It appeared, that the prisoner Bradshaw did a little in the grog way on the sly ; that the prosecutor had gone to his house, on the day of the robbery, Sunday the 8th of April ; and owing Bradshaw something for spirits previously, a dis- pute arose between them as to the amount of the debt ; when the prisoner threw him down, and with the assistance of several other persons then present, robbed him of the money in question, while they beat and kicked him most severely. The prosecutor admitted that he was a little intoxicated when he entered the house, but knew perfectly well what he was about, although he had by his own account, taken six or seven glasses of spirits that morning; but he declared he could take thirteen more, and have his weather eye open. On his cross-examination, he also admitted, that about a week after the transaction, being solicited by Bradshaw, his wife, and several others, he agreed to make it up, and was offered by the prisoner £4 for that purpose, which was however not accepted.-The prisoner was found guilty of a capital offence.
