DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE
SUPREME CRIMINAL COURT, MONDAY...

Charles Bogg and
Henry Chantel were indicted for stealing a watch, value
£5. from the dwelling-house of Mr. Robert Bogg,
Mrs. Mary Bogg deposed, that she lives in Harrington
Street; her husband rents the house. On the 13th of
September last, Mr. Nicholson made-her a present of a
small gold watch, which she missed from a drawer in
her bed-room. She suspected- a woman, who was em-
ployed in the house washing, and had her taken into
custody. Mr. Amsden, Police Officer, Came and en
quired the description of the watch, he having received
private information of an article of that description
being in the possession of a Mrs. Johnstone on the
Rocks. She gave him the information required, and
afterwards saw her watch in his possession. The pri
soner Bogg was at her house on the day she received
the watch; she could not exactly swear that
Chantell was, but she fancied so. She never had any
suspicion of the prisoners. Mr. Amsden, Assistant Su
perintendant of Police, sworn. On the 14th of De
cember last, he received information of a gold watch
having been left at Mrs. Johnstone's, on the Rocks,
under peculiar circumstances. He went to Mrs. Bogg,
and had the watch she had lost described. He then pro
ceeded to Mrs. Johnstone's. who immediately gave up
the watch, stating, she received it from the prisoner
Bogg. She said she advanced five dollars to Bogg for
it, and Chantel afterwards drew some liquor on account
thereof. The watch had not been out of his possession
since. Mrs. Mary Bogg swore to the watch being
hers. Mrs. Johnstone identified the watch produced as
the one left by the prisoner Bogg, corroborated the evi
dence of Mr. Amsden, and further stated, the prisoners
asserted a joint property in the watch. Mr. Justice
Stephens commented upon the extreme impropriety of
Publicans taking articles in pledge; it subjected them
to suspicion, and may-be, even to trial, as receivers.
'The Act of Parliament upon which the indictment was
formed, did not extend to stealing in a dwelling-house.
It distinctly specified the manner and place of the bur
glary, and by the Act the parties were relieved
from the capital offence: It remained with the Gentle
men of the Jury to decide whether the parties were
guilty of stealing the watch. The Jury retired, and
brought in a verdict of Guilty, against both the pri
soners.

Charles Bogg and Henry Chantell, for stealing a
gold watch, belonging to Mary Ann Bogg—sentenced
each to be transported for seven years. [The prose-
cutor in this case was the prisoner Bogg's father].

RUNAWAY CONVICTS IN THE SOUTH SEAS.
Captain Morgan, of the Duke of York, had handed in the statements mentioned in our last, in reference to the runaway convicts on Pleasant Island, who, from their own acknowledgement, absconded from Norfolk Island many years ago, and who have been perpetrating a series of iniquities unmolested, and almost unknown. There are a number of white men on Pleasant Island and one or two are supposed to have been there about nine years...
The following are the statements referred to :-
Charles Bruce, of the Cornwallis, Sydney whaler - "The natives treated me very friendly for a short time, but they soon stole the whole of my clothes, and compelled me to wear a mat; there were several Europeans on the island, but they gave me no assistance; I saw on the island lances, spades, hammers, and a ship's glass; there were two Irishmen on the Island of the name of Patrick Burke, of Cilo, and John Jones, or --- Dacy, I am not certain which; they, for their ferocious disposition, kept me and others in continual dread of our lives; while I was on the island, two young men named Charles Bogg, a native of Sydney, and one Davies, were driven from the island in a canoe and never heard of afterwards; Burke and Jones threatened to murder these persons, and that was the cause of their leaving the island; they suspected these young men of knowing that they had been concerned with the natives in the taking of a vessel some years ago; I saw a bout about seventeen years old, an European, he kept inland, and appeared either to be careless or afraid to speak to me or my associates; he had nearly lost the use of hos mother tongue".
