Tuesday— Before the Chief Justice, and the usual Commission. John Charters, Thomas Hickey, John Smith and Richard Jaycock alias Jacobs, were jointly indicted for stealing a whaling boat, the property of John Whitten, at Sydney, on the 13th of January. It appeared that the boat was seized alongside the Ardent Hulk, at Walker and Co.'s Wharf, and conveyed by the prisoners to about 100 miles north of Port Macquarie, where their boat was seized, and they escaped into the bush, but were shortly after captured. All the prisoners were found Guilty. The prisoners were again indicted for assaulting and putting in bodily fear David Pugh, and stealing from his person a carbine, at Carraboo Bay on the 22nd January. The prisoners were found Guilty, and remanded. (Sydney Herald, 5 Sep 1833, p. 2.) [The Sydney Monitor (NSW : 1828 - 1838) Sat 7 Sep 1833 Page 2] SUPREME COURT, CRIMINAL SIDE. Wednesday, September 4th – Before the Chief Justice and the usual Military Commission. John Charters, Thomas Hickey, Henry Wood, Richard Laycock or Jacob, and James Smith, were placed at the bar.
