Hi Leanne, The following is the newspaper article on George GUTTRY's appearance in court. Unfortunately this is the only record I could find, and it doesn't give any detail on his origins. Cheers Trish Nowra NSW The Daily News (London), 10 August 1852, issue 1940 - ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE - Northern Circuit, Appleby, August 6, Crown Court BURGLARY - Teddy Kenny, aged 17, George Guttry, aged 22, two desperate-looking characters; and Isabella Hunter, aged 26, all imperfectly instructed, were indicted for burgulariously entering the dwelling of Mr Christopher Anderson, of Brackenbury, a lonely farm-house, about two miles from Appleby, on the night of the 12th of June last. Mr Bell conducted the prosecution. The prisoners were not defended by counsel. The facts were briefly these:- The two male prisoners were seen in the neighbourhood of Brackenby, on the evening of the 11th of June. During the night the prosecutor's house was entered by a window, and several articles of wearing apparel were stolen. A girl named Ann Mason, who had been apprehended along with the prisoner, deposed that she had slept in a barn with the prisoner, Isabella Hunter, on the night in question, near to Anderson's; and that early in the morning the two male prisoners came into the barn, bringing with them some wearing apparel and eatables. They said they had broken into a house about two miles from Appleby, and that they had hid some of the things in a heap of stones. Subsequently the prisoners were apprehended with part of the property in their custody. The girl Mason stated she had never seen the prisoners before they came into the barn, nor had the female prisoner Isabella Hunter been in their company previously as far as she was aware of. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, told the jury that there being no evidence in his opinion to convict the female prisoner with the burglary, there must be a verdict of not guilty with respect to her. Against the other prisoners the case had been clearly made out. The jury Acquitted Isabella Hunter, and found a verdict of Guilty against Kenny and Guttry, who were each transported for fifteen years. >> Hello >> My 3x Great Grandfather was George Guttrey he was sent to WA onboard the >> Stag which arrived in WA on the 23 may 1855.
