It appeared that three men had been dispatched in quest of some bush-rangers on information, and under a rock beyond Elizabeth Town, they found the 3 prisoners asleep, and having secured them and searched about the spot, they found the articles deposited to an adjoining rock, close bywhere the prisoners were sleeping. Against facts so conclusive the prisoners could say nothing, and they were sentenced to receive each 50 lashes, and to be sent to Port Macquarie for the remainder of their sentences.
