Hi to all I thought you might enjoy the following from an Ipswich (Qld) Journal CRIMINAL JURISDICTION 1854 "John Martin, alias Henry Shelly, was indicted for obtaining the sum of one shilling from Andrew PETRIE, by false pretences, at Brisbane, in January last. The prisioner called upon Mr Petrie and said that his son Mr John Petrie had engaged him as a stonemason and had sent him the sum of five shillings on account of wages. The prosecutor gave him one shilling and he went away, but it was afterwards ascertained that Mr John Petrie had given him no authority of the kind, neither had he entered into Mr Petrie's service. The facts were proved by the evidence of Mr Andrew Petrie, Mr John Petrie and Master George Petrie, and the jury found the prisioner guilty. His Honour, in passing sentence, remarked upon the talent for cheating shown by the prisoner and directed that he should be kept at hard labour in Darlinghurst Gaol for two years". Can anyone tell me if R/BASTENSNEUK the name of a place or thing in Scotland? Thanks Colleen from BEAUTIFUL (this week) Qld
