      SHEEPSTEALING
      Walter McConnon, a young lad, was
      charged with stealing, on the 31st October,
      two sheep, the property of Patrick
      Dolan.
      In a second count the prisoner was
      charged with feloniously receiving.
      Messrs. Lees and Gregson defended the
      prisoner.
      Patrick Dolan stated that he lived at
      Brandy Bottom, near Jerusalem, and
      about a mile and a half from McConnon's
      public house. In the first week in
      October he put 21 sheep, consisting of
      ewes, wethers, and lambs, into a
      paddock, and missed some of them after
      wards. All the sheep were taken from
      the paddock and witness afterwards
      found them in a paddock of Hatton's.
      Witness saw two lambs at the Police
      Office. They were his lambs.
      Bernard Fox, Brandy Bottom, knew
      Dolan's land, he, also, knew the prisoner,
      and saw him on the day in question on
      the way to Brandy Bottom, It was after
      4 o'clock, and the prisoner was going in
      the direction of Dolan's land. There was
      no one with him. Witness saw him again
      that afternoon in a hollow in the bush
      standing by a cart with a load of
      brushwood. There was a man named Charley
      with him who was living at Mr McConnons.
      The cart was about three quarters
      of a mile from Dolan's paddock, and about
      half a mile from Hatton's.
      In cross-examination the witness said
      that Mr. McConnon, the prisoner's father,
      had no cattle running at Brandy Bottom.
      The prisoner did not appear to be
      interfering with the load on the cart.
      John Hatton, a young lad living with
      his father at Jerusalem, deposed to seeing
      the prisoner coming into the township with
      a load of wood. There was a man with
      him. Witness next saw the cart with the
      man coming in with another load of wood
      William Duffy, a constable stationed at
      Jerusalem, proved seeing the prisoner
      come out of Mr Hatton's paddock from
      the direction of Brandy Bottom about
      6 o'clock. Witness and D. C. Plummer
      took him into custody. Witness saw
      McConnon's cart go into his yard. Charley
      Taylor was with it.
      At the request of Mr. Gregson the
      witness's deposition at the Police Office
      was read, but no material discrepancy was
      disclosed.
      D. C. Plummer stated that he was
      watching a cart that was coming to the
      township of Jerusalem. Charles Taylor
      was driving it. He was in the employ of
      Mr. McConnon. The cart went into
      McConnon's yard, and witness followed
      it. The driver was gone, and on unloading
      the cart witness found two sheep tied
      by the legs, which he gave in charge to a
      constable. Mr. Dolan identified the sheep
      as his property. Witness searched for
      the man Taylor but could not find him.
      He then apprehended the prisoner on a
      charge of sheep stealing. The prisoner
      said he had nothing to do with it. He was
      not with Charley, but had been looking
      after bullocks. Witness had tried to
      apprehend Taylor, and had looked after
      him nights after nights.
      In cross examination the witness said,
      that the prisoner made no attempt to
      escape.
      Mr. Gregson addressed the jury for the
      defence, and contended that the prisoner
      had no concern in the robbery which it
      must be presumed was perpetrated by the
      man Taylor.
      The learned counsel was about to call
      his witnesses when
      The foreman of the jury intimated that
      they had made up their minds on the case,
      and acquitted the prisoner.
