WINDSOR...
APRIL 14...
Mary Goodwin was charged with being drunk and a little disorderly. Mary is an elderly woman; her son was ordered for transportation two days ago; she had travelled twelve miles to say "farewell;" acquaintances more frequently invite to "the bottle" than "the board;" she had drunk too freely, the effects are common. Mary, you are this time to be pitied. Fined five shillings to the poor, but being unable to pay, was allowed a few days to make up the fine - "god bless you, gentlemen, Micky Conner will pay you!"

"William Browning and Joseph Glasspole were indicted with having stolen some womens' wearing apparel, the property of Jane McCoy, while travelling in a cart from Parramatta to Windsor. The prosecutrix is about 69 years of age, and Wm. Browning is about 20, and the scene described by two of the witnesses, as having taken place between them at the time of the robbery, in an open cart, at noon-day, was truly shocking and shewed their depraved character most effectually. Browning had pushed the old woman out of the cart and drove on, keeping possession of her bundle containing wearing apparel; he was unknown to the old woman, but she kept a good look-out at Windsor; and at length espied her gown on the person of a newly married female at Tom the Barber's, at Windsor. A warrant was issued, and while the person stood before the Court on whom the gown had been found, the prosecutrix also identified a petticoat, containing a certain number of tucks; she had brought them with her from Port Macquarie. Two persons proved Browning had sold the property in question, and he had admitted the fact, but in his defence stated he had purchased the articles from the old woman. The evidence did not appear against Glasspole. The Jury retired about 20 minutes; and having again taken their seats. declared Glasspole, Not Guilty. Browning, Guilty.
Browning is a native of the colony, and most of the gentlemen of the Petit Jury were natives of the Colony also, and although it tended to show he was a hardened offender, we must insert in our report the encomium he thought proper, on such an occasion, to pay his dear countrymen, for the obligation he was under to their opinion of their fellow Australian, which was elicited in the following manner: The learned Chairman addressed the prisoner, and concluded by passing sentence - y years transportation.
The prisoner immediately remarked. "Well, there's a pretty set of fellows to be jurymen! they know more about a dish of ominey a good deal - what should they know about a Jury. The sentence being delivered with true energy, had a ludicrous effect; but, be it known to all concerned, that the learned Chairman, in his address to the Petit Jury at the close of the Session, expressed the high degree of satisfaction with which they had acquitted themselves to the service of their country."
