HORSE STEALING AT BINDA.
Rowland Read was charged with having, at Mark-
dale, on the 1st day of August, 1874, feloniously
stolen a horse the property of Alfred Marks.
Prisoner pleaded not guilty, and was defended by
Mr. Gannon.
The Crown-Prosecutor having stated the case,
called
Robert Kennedy, senior-constable of police sta-
tioned at Binds, who deposed : I arrested prisoner on
the 20th of December; he said he never had any
horse, and that the witness Read did not know the
horse that Marks had lost, and that it was one of
Guiott's horses that he was riding.
To Mr. Gannon: I have known prisoner for some
years; he was once summoned here for illegally rid-
ing a horse, and the case was dismissed; Marks lives
about twelve miles from Binda, but he has no fixed
place of residence; I don't think I had seen Marks
for four months before he laid the information ; wit-
ness Read lives about twelve miles from the nearest ;
magistrate.
Alfred Marks deposed: I am a labourer living in
Binda; I own a dark-bay entire horse; I have had
him about twelve months; Joseph Read and his son
know this horse; I had ridden it as a yearling; I
then lent him to a lad; I offered prisoner the loan of
the horse about four months before August, but I did
not lend it him in August last; the horse used to run
close to the witness Joseph Read's.
To Mr. Gannon : Joseph read told me some time
in August that prisoner was riding my horse; I got
the warrant in December; in the mean time I heard
that prisoner and Joseph Read had had some quarrel
with the prisoner's brother-in-law; this was some
few days before I took out the warrant; Joseph Read
was at Court at Binda when I got the warrant, about
some case with Guiott, prisoner's father-in-law; pri-
soner lives four or five miles from me, and eight from
Binda; I saw prisoner about a fortnight or three
weeks before I got the warrant; I did not see priso-
nor at my brother's place at a cricket-match since
August; I was not there myself; I offered him the
loan of the horse while he was sawing, if he could
get it; I have not looked for this horse particularly;
I was away from Binda from August till about a
fortnight before I took out the warrant; I went to
BiigS, about twenty-four miles away.
Joseph Read deposed: I hare known prisoner for
about two years ; I saw prisoner in the beginning of
August riding Marks' horse across the bush, near
Markdale; I was speaking to him; I have no doubt
it was Mark's horse.
To Mr. Gannon: I am a farmer; Marks is my
brother-in-law; the horse was not in my charge; he
was running close to my place; I did not know if he
had permission to ride the horse; I did not tell
Marks about prisoner riding the horse till some time
last month; I did not tell him in August; I can't
tell if it was three months ago; it is not three
months ago; I told him at my own place; I can't
say how long it was before Christmas: I had some
words with prisoner; it was a good bit before Christ-
mast it was before my brother-in-law got the
warrant; I saw Marks at my place after I had the
row with prisoner; it was after prisoner and I had
the words that I told Marks about the prisoner
riding the horse; I had no row with prisoner's
father-in-law; I took out a summons against him; I
did not induce Marks to go to Kennedy; the horse
is unbranded; Marks never told me he had lent the
horse to prisoner.
At this stage of the proceedings his Honor directed
the acquittal of the prisoner, and he was discharged.
This concluded the business of the court.
Alfred married Bridget Mary Deehan [272] [LJ6X-WM4] [MRIN: 163], daughter of John Deehan [369] [LJ6F-W63] and Mary Phelan [370] [LJ6N-QWW], in 1879 in Goulburn, Argyle County, New South Wales, Australia.7 (Bridget Mary Deehan [272] [LJ6X-WM4] was born on 1860 Sep 29 in King's County, Ireland, died on 1935 Jun 13 in Cowra, Bathurst County, New South Wales, Australia and was buried in Cowra, Bathurst County, New South Wales, Australia.)
