HORSE STEALING.
————
From our local paddocks of the past few weeks several valuable horses have been found missing in the morning when required. The principal sufferers being our local storekeepers Messrs Whiteman and Son and Dobell Bros. As the horses missing were all locally bred the disappearance pointed strongly to one of stealing. The police of Camden soon put on the telegraph wires. Nevertheless it was over three weeks before the horses were discovered. The police were too many for the would be ‘horse stealers.’ The horses, it was rumoured in Camden were found in the neighbourhood of Newtown, Sydney. There are also several young dairy cattle missing locally, but this like the horses will be soon found by the State Detective Department. Unfortunately the Camden suffers.
On Wednesday, at the Newtown Police Court, W Dunk, W Rosswearne [sic] and others were charged in connection with the offence. The case was remanded to Camden, to be heard at Camden Police Court on Wednesday of next week, the 22nd inst. 7
We hear that four horses have been found, the case being under control of Detective Bradley. We hear also that two of the horses have been identified by Mr Whiteman. It appears that the horses had been sold and were found in the vicinity of St Peters. The loosers of local horses are Messrs Whiteman, Dobell Bros, Charker and Thurn. The case being sub judice the public must now await the proceedings at the police court.

AT the Camden Police Court on Wednesday last, before the Police Magistrate (Mr FR Wilshire), William Rosewarne, William Dunk, and William Montagne [sic] Parker were brought up charged with stealing four horses in the Camden district, the property of Whiteman and Son, Dobell Brothers, H Charker and Mrs Thurn. The prosecution lasted two days. Sergeant Bradley, of Newtown, conducted the prosecution. All the horses reported to have been stolen were identified. They were sold in the vicinity of Sydney. Parker was defended by Mr CD Inglis, Dunk, by Mr Passmore, and Rosewarne was undefended. After the evidence had been taken, the three accused were committed to stand their trial at Darlinghurst Sessions in July. Bail was allowed in heavy sureties.

Mr WL Merewether, Crown Prosecutor.
ALLEGED HORSE STEALING.
Walter Rosewarne, William Montague Parker, and William Dunk pleaded not guilty to a charge of having, on May 6, at Camden, stolen a gelding, the property of AW Thurn. There was a second count of receiving. Mr WA Walker, instructed by Mr Inglis, appeared for Parker, Mr CD Inglis for Dunk, and Mr P Bourke for Rosewarne.
During the progress of the case for the prosecution the Crown proposed to give in evidence statements that other alleged stolen property had been found within 12 months before their trial in the possession and on the premises of the accused. Mr Walker contended that the notice served on accused by the Crown, and under section 420 of the Crimes Act, which provided “That on the trial of a person for feloniously receiving stolen property evidence may be given that other stolen property, if stolen within 12 months before such trial, has been found in his possession or on his premises, provided always that 10 days’ notice at the least was given him before his trial, of the intention to adduce such evidence,” was not good, as it merely set out that “other stolen property,” without specifying what particular property was referred to, had been found in the possession of the accused.
His Honor ruled that the notice was insufficient, and that the proposed evidence was inadmissible.
At 4.30 pm the Crown case was not concluded, and the Court adjourned. The jury was locked up for the night.
The Court adjourned to the following day.

HORSE STEALING.
Walter Rosewarne, [aka Walter Rosewarn] William Montague Parker, and William Dunk pleaded not guilty to a charge of having on May 6 at Camden stolen a gelding the property of AW Thurn. There was a second count of receiving. Mr WA Walker, instructed by Mr Inglis, appeared for Parker, Mr P Bourke for Rosewarne, and Mr CD Inglis for Dunk. The prosecution was continued, the jury having been locked up for the night.
The case for the Crown was that the hose, a grey gelding, the property of Mr Thurn, had been lent to a Mr White at Camden for some weeks. On May 5 it was taken with other horses to a paddock by Ross White, a boy, for the night. The next morning the gelding was missed. Early on that morning Mr Knight, a farmer living near Lansdowne Bridge, at Bankstown, saw the accused Dunk riding a chestnut horse and leading a grey gelding and a black horse on the road from Camden. A little later on the same morning a carrier named Woodward saw Dunk near his house with three horses. This was nearer Sydney. About 9 or 10 am on the next day a girl named Mary Clarke saw the accused Parker and Rosewarne in Parker’s yard at the Glebe, Sydney, with two horses, one a grey gelding with which they had some difficulty. The three accused made statements to the police regarding their possession of the horses, and their knowledge of one another. They also gave accounts of their movements on the night of May 6, and on May 7. Rosewarne, in one of his statements, said that he received the horse from Parker, and on another occasion that he had bought the horse at Camperdown. The three accused made statements in opposition to each other before Sergeant Bradley and Constable Devlin. The statements were taken down after due warning to each by the police officers.
The defence was that Parker had not given the horse to Rosewarne to sell and that Dunk had never taken the horse from Camden. The accused made statements from the dock denying the theft.
His Honor, in summing up at considerable length, pointed out the law regarding the value of statements made to the police by any accused man as evidence against other accused. He also referred in complimentary terms to the careful and thorough way in which the case had been prepared by Sergeant Bradley and Constable Devlin.
The jury retired at 4 pm to consider their verdict. At 4.40 pm they returned with a verdict of guilty of stealing against the three accused, who were then arraigned on two other charges of horse-stealing, to which they pleaded not guilty. His Honor remanded the prisoners for sentence until Tuesday next by request of Mr Walker.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1.

SUPREME COURT.—IN BANCO
(Before Mr Justice Stephen, Mr Justice Owen, and
Mr Justice Cohen.)
Crown Cases.
…
Rex v. William M Parker and Rex v. William Dunk.
Mr WA Walker and Mr G Harris, instructed by Mr CD Inglis, appeared for the prisoners, William Montague Parker and William Dunk, on special case reserved for the opinion of the Court. Mr Wade, instructed by the Acting Crown Solicitor, appeared on behalf of the Crown, and admitted that he could not argue the case in the face of the position which the other side held. The special case reserved by Judge Gibson for the opinion of the Court set out that Walter Rosewarne, William Montague Parker, and William Dunk were charged at the Sydney Quarter Sessions on August 22 last for that they on May 6 last, at Camden, did steal one gelding, the property of Mary Ann Thurn. There was a second count for receiving the gelding. On August 23 the jury found the three accused guilty of horse-stealing, and, at the request of Mr Walker, his Honor reserved the following points:—(1) That his Honor was in error at the close of the Crown case in chief in not directing the jury that there was no case against Parker inasmuch as the statements of Rosewarne and Dunk, made in Parker’s presence, and denied or answered by him, were not evidence against Parker. (2) That his Honor was in error in directing the jury that as to the statements of Rosewarne and Dunk, made in Parker’s presence, and denied or answered by him, it was for the jury to decide whether they believed Rosewarne and Dunk on the one hand, or Parker on the other. (3) That his Honor was in error in not directing the jury that the statements of Rosewarne and Dunk, made in Parker’s presence, and denied or answered by him, were not evidence against Parker. With reference to the objections 2 and 3 his Honor reported that his direction was this: “If you believe Parker in his denial of the statement made by the other accused, you will acquit him, but if you think that Parker did not speak the truth when he denied the statements made by the other accused, or either of them, you may draw such inferences as you think you are justified in drawing from the prisoner Parker’s conduct in denying the truth of statements made in his presence.” Mr Walker, before his Honor passed sentence on the prisoners, also informed his Honor that he was instructed to ask him to reserve the following objection on behalf of Dunk: “That his Honor was in error in directing the jury that as to the statements of Rosewarne made in the presence of Dunk, and denied or answered by him, it was for the jury to decide whether they believed Rosewarne on the one hand, or Dunk on the other.” His Honor reported that he did not direct the jury in those words. In his charge to the jury he only referred to the absence of George Knight and William Woodward, and left it to the jury to say whether they were satisfied with the evidence of identification of Dunk given by the witnesses. The questions for the consideration of the Court were: (1) Was his Honor wrong in refusing to direct the jury at the close of the Crown case that there was no evidence against Parker; (2) Was he wrong in refusing to direct the jury that the statements made by Rosewarne and Dunk, in Parker’s presence, and denied by Parker, were not evidence against Parker (3) Was he in error in not having directed the jury, in the terms of the objections taken by Mr Walker, before passing sentence on the prisoners.
The Court quashed the conviction against both prisoners.

CHARGE OF HORSE STEALING.
————
A CONVICTION QUASHED.
An appeal was heard by the Full Court, consisting of Mr Justice Stephen, Mr Justice Owen, and Mr Justice Cohen, in the case in which Walter Rosewarne, William Montague Parked, and William Dunk were charged at the Sydney Quarter Sessions, before Judge Gibson, with having, at Camden, stolen a gelding, the property of Annie May Thurn. The evidence relied on by the Crown in the case against Parker, with the exception of the evidence of Mary Clarke, were statements made by Rosewarne at the Newtown Police-station, in the presence of Parker and Dunk, and, in answer too questions put to Rosewarne by Sergeant Bradley and Constable Devlin to both Rosewarne and Dunk in Parker’s presence, Parker denied every statement implicating him made either by Rosewarne and Dunk, and he also stated that the contents of a statement made by Rosewarne, and taken down by Constable Devlin in writing and signed by Rosewarne, were not true.
The jury found the three accused guilty of horse-stealing. The following points were reserved:—“(1) That his Honor was in error at the close of the Crown case-in-chief in not directing the jury that there was no case against Parker, inasmuch as the statements of Rosewarne and Dunk made in Parker’s presence, and denied, or answered by him, were not evidence against Parker; (2) that his Honor was in error in directing the jury that as to the statements of Rosewarne and Dunk on the one hand, or Parker on the other hand; (3) that his Honor was in error in not directing the jury that the statements of Rosewarne and Dunk, made in Parker’s presence, and denied or answered by Parker, were not evidence against Parker.”
The following point was also reserved on behalf of Dunk:—“That his Honor was in error in directing the jury that as to the statements of Rosewarne, made in the presence of Dunk, and denied or answered by him, it was for the jury to decide whether they believed Rosewarne on the one hand, or Dunk on the other.”
Mr WA Walker and Mr G Harris (instructed by Mr CD Inglis) appeared on behalf of the appeal against the conviction of Parker and Dunk; and Mr Wade (Crown Prosecutor) for the Crown.
It was stated by Mr Wade that he could not contest the points taken on behalf of the accused.
Their Honors held that evidence had been wrongly admitted in the case of Parker and Dunk, and quashed the convictions against the two.

ALLEGED HORSE STEALING.
Walter Rosewarne, William Montague Parker, and William Dunk pleaded not guilty to a charge of having on May 6, at Camden, stolen a mare, the property of Charles Thomas Whiteman and another. Mr Inglis appeared for the defence of Parker and Dunk. Rosewarne was undefended. Evidence in the case was identical with that given in two previous cases.
The case for the Crown was that some horses, including the mare, had been stolen from Camden, that Dunk had been seen leading them shortly after they had been stolen, that they had been taken to Parker’s place at Glebe, where Parker carried on business as a horse-dealer, and the Rosewarn had been employed by Parker to sell the horses, well knowing them to have been stolen. The defence was a denial of the theft by all of the accused, Rosewarn stating on oath that he was an innocent agent of Parker’s, and Parker and Dunk affirming that the witnesses for the Crown and Rosewarn had stated what was not true with regard to the case. The case lasted until a late hour, his Honor finishing the summing up at 10.10 pm. In the case Sergeants Bradley and Parker and Constable Devlin had collected a vast amount of evidence, including statements of conversation between the accused and the police, which were taken down by Constable Devlin in shorthand. At 11 pm the jury had not agreed, and they were then locked up for the night.
The Court adjourned to 10 am the following day.

TWO MEN ACQUITTED AND ONE
CONVICTED.
Walter Rosewarne, William Montague Parker, and William Dunk pleaded not guilty to a charge of having on May 6, 19091, at Camden, stolen a mare, the property of Charles Thomas Whiteman and another. There was a second count of receiving. Mr Walker, instructed by Mr CD Inglis, appeared for Parker, Mr Inglis for Dunk, and Rosewarne was undefended. The accused had been tried on the charge on December 11, 1901, and the jury on that occasion failed to agree upon a verdict after being locked up all night.
At the conclusion of the Crown case Mr Walker submitted a matter of law to his Honor that there was no case made out against Parker. His Honor, after argument, held that the Crown had not established its case, and that there was no evidence to go to the jury. He directed the jury to acquit Parker. The jury accordingly acquitted Parker, and he was discharged.
The defence of the other two accused was then proceeded with. After a review of the evidence by his Honor, the jury retired at about 3 pm, and returned into court at 5.5 pm at his Honor’s request, in order that any further matters might be made clear to them. At 5.25 pm the jury returned into court with a verdict of guilty against Rosewarne and not guilty in favour of Dunk. Rosewarne was sentenced to imprisonment for three years, with hard labour, and Dunk was remanded on another charge, bail being allowed.
The court adjourned to Monday.
