31 Aug 1839“On Friday the 8th instant, a tribe of them went to Messrs Hurley and Fennell's sheep station, and three, named, Billy the Ram, Jackey Williams, and Buonaparte, followed the shepherd until about one o'clock in the day, when they collared him, threw him down, two held him down whilst the other stood over him with a tomahawk threatening his life, whilst the others proceeded to rush the flock: they took three wethers away beside wounding some others with their spears and tomahawks, dividing the flock into three parts; and three others, named, John Dilla, Johnny Murphy, and Yoyoe Mickey, Mr Ryan's stock-keeper found killing a cow.”
