SATURDAY, NOV. 4.
Before GILBERT ELIOTT, Esq, P.M., M. ANDERSON, Esq., J. P., and NELSON LAWSON, Esq., J. P.
PATRICK HILL appeared on summons to answer a charge of embezzlement, at the Colonial Hospital, Parramatta, preferred against him by DENNIS HANNAN, late overseer to the said hospital.
…
MARGARET MURPHY, sworn, deposed, I was a patient in the hospital, in No. 2 ward, in 1841: I have since been in the Factory; defendant was overseer when I was there; sugar was never used for gruel; I have been in the stores when defendant was there, and have seen him weigh sugar for tea and arrowroot, but none for gruel.
Cross-examined. I don’t know whether it was issued in two or three dishes; it might sometimes be in one; I was never at the weighing of the sugar when the last witness was there.
