Details: Peter Ryan, in government service, charged with theft... William Ogilvie states...some months since I was permitted to lodge some casks containing various articles in the Commissariat stores of which the prisoner is cooper. I had occasion to open one of the casks containing ironmongery shortly after and employed the prisoner whilst he was at work. I heard a jingling noise and looking down I discovered some tin cans. I thought they might have fallen out accidentally and therefore had them returned. I did not miss anything at the time. The candlestick now before the court is mine, it was in the cask that I had opened. Mr. Ogilvie having given this evidence withdrew. James Hewson states...I purchased the candlesticks now before the court some time since from Peter Ryan. I gave him a half pint of rum. It was very rusty when I bought it. Ryan had another like it in his possession. Thomas Liddell states. - I was present when Ryan sold the candlestick to Hewson. He had two with him. The prisoner states - I found the candlesticks in the store covered with rust. I did not think them of any value. I was permitted to take them by the storekeeper.
