186 JOHN HAYES , stealing 1 handkerchief, value 3s.; the goods of Richard Parker, from his person; having been before convicted.

RICHARD PARKER . I am a carrier, at the New Inn, Old Bailey. On 14th Oct. I felt a pull at my pocket, in Smithfield, and on turning round I saw my handkerchief fall to the ground, and some one run away—I picked it up—I could not recognize the prisoner as the person who ran away—I should not have appeared against the person if I had been aware that three months would not have been sufficient—I would not appear against a man for stealing a pocket-handkerchief, when I am robbed every day by the rich, and cannot button up my pockets against them.

CHARLES ALBERT (City-policeman, 282). On 14th Oct. I was on duty in Smithfield, about eight o'clock—I saw the prisoner take a handkerchief out of Mr. Parker's pocket—I was two yards from him—Mr. Parker called, "Police!"—the prisoner dropped it—I pursued him all round the market—my brother officer took him.

Prisoner. Q. How could you see behind Mr. Parker? A. I was in a door-way; Mr. Parker came opposite to me—I couid sec both behind and before him—this is the handkerchief—I got it from Mr. Parker.

RICHARD PARKER re-examined. I cannot say that this is my handkerchief—I have no doubt of it, but I do not see any mark—I gave the handkerchief that I saw drop to the officer.

WILLIAM FRUIN (City-policeman, 276). I saw the prisoner running towards Long-lane, and stopped him—he must have run nearly 300 yards as fast as he could.

JOSEPH DALTON (City-policeman, 366). I produce a certificate of the prisoner's former conviction—(read—Convicted Jan., 1848, and confined three months)—he is the person.

GUILTY . *. Aged 19.— Transported for Seven Years . 
HAYES, John (I1825)

On the 22nd July 1850 John left England, as prisoner number 105, on The Hashemy' bound for Western Australia.
On the 25th October 1850 John arrived at The Swan River Colony, Western Australia.
John unfortunately died from a stomach disease only a couple of months after arriving in WA. It is unknown if he was suffering from this during the trip, or prior to leaving England

795. JOSEPH BURROWS and THOMAS SMITH , stealing 70lbs. weight of lead, value 12s.; the goods of Henry Newton and another, fixed to a building; Burrows having been before convicted: to which

BURROWS pleaded GUILTY. WILLIAM ATLEE (policeman, L 110). On 19th Feb., at quarter-past seven in the evening, I was with Serjeant Goff, in St. George's-row, and saw Burrows, with a basket on his shoulder, with something heavy—Smith was ten or fifteen yards from him, he went up, and lifted the basket higher on his shoulder, I followed; they both turned into Garden-row—Smith put his hand on the top of the basket, to save something from falling—I asked Burrows what he had got; he said, "Some lead"—I asked where he was going to take it—he said, "To a shop in Goswell-road; "that he was sent with it from the Philanthropic—the basket contained a quantity of lead—I took them both to the Philanthropic—I asked Burrows who sent him with it—he pointed to some buildings, and said, "I took it from there"—I took them both to the station.

CHARLES BURGESS GOFF (police-sergeant). I was with Atlee—Smith said, "I know nothing about the lead"—I had gone out for a cab for the chaplain of the Institution, saw Burrows, and ran after him to speak to him—I asked to see the chaplain, but found he had gone out in a cab, which Smith had fetched—the basket contained six pieces of sheet lead, and a piece of pipe; the sheet lead fitted the skylight frames, and the holes of the different nails where it had been wrenched from—I compared the—pipe; that fitted exactly.

ALEXANDER----(policeman, T 51). I was with Atlee and Goff—I took Smith; he said he kne wnothing about the lead—in going to the station he said he could prove he was only in Burrows' company five minutes—he then said, "You have not got me right; you did not see me take it."

CHARLES ANDREWS . I am a carpenter, in the employ of the Philanthropic Society. I employed the prisoners there—I cut this small piece of pipe from the force-pump at the chaplain's old house—it corresponds with this produced—it was formerly the society's property; it now belongs to Henry Newton and another, builders, and the sheet lead also.

198 On the 20th ult. Mr. C. D. V. Foss, R.M.,
held an inquest at Millie Millie, on the
Gascoyne, upon the remains of the late Robert
Grundy, which were found near Millie Millie
on the 14th March last. After having
viewed the remains and heard the evidence,
the jury returned the following verdict: —
"That the deceased, Robert Grundy, was
murdered near Millie Millie on or about the
10th March, 1884, by the aboriginal natives
Mowaraba, alias "Big headed Harry," and
Gnalbee." The former native was afterwards
brought up before the Resident
Magistrate upon the charge of wilful murder,
when he was remanded for eight days.
Another aboriginal native was also brought
up on suspicion of having been concerned
in the murder of the deceased ; but, as
there was no evidence against him, he was
at once discharged.

200 Once previously convicted of Poaching


Court Report from the Leicestershire Mercury:


John Smith (26) and Joseph Isom (26) were charged with stealing, the 18th of Oct., 1848, at Stapleford, two geese and strainer, the property of Anthony Hart.
Mr. Vaughan conducted the case.
William Hart, son of the prosecutor, deposed that on the 17th of October, he counted his father's geese, and there were 23 when secured for the night. The next morning two were missing : there was blood on the road to Melton, and following that direction heads and four feet and skins and feathers of geese were found about 400 yards from where the geese were kept. One of the heads found was like that of one of the missing geese: could not speak to the other.
Anthony Hart conrmed the statement of his son : and said he gave notice to Superintendent Condon.
Sarah Dennis identified the stolen strainer: Alice Hart likewise identified it.
Thomas Farell met the prisoners on the 18th October, a little after four in the morning, at Thorpe End, coining from the direction of Stapleford. Isom had something bulky under his smock, and asked witness, who was smoking a pipe, for a light, He walked as far as King Street with them, and was certain it was them.
William Condon, from information received, went to prisoner's house, found them both bed at eleven in the morning: and found near the bed, a small pan, bason, and two plates, and the bones of a goose and handkerchief covered with blood. In a box he found the body of a goose, wrapped in the strainer produced. On comparing the boots found on the prisoners with the footmarks, Isom's corresponded exactly. The head of the goose given to witness by Mr. Hart corresponded with the body found in the box. There was blood on the prisoner's clothes.
The prisoners' defence was that they " found" both strainer and goose.
Immediately upon summing up, the jury found a verdict of Guilty. Seven years' transportation 
SMITH, John (I1850)
