On 2 August 1841, as Aboriginal man Worta cooked meat on a fire near his wurley, he was shot dead by Mr Peter’s stock-keeper, William Roach, in the presence of Worta’s daughter, Katta Murtanna, and Roach’s companions, William Wilson and Edward Cross. Missionary Christian Teichelmann learned of his murder and informed the authorities. The Europeans were arrested but Roach was ultimately acquitted.

Mr Peter’s hutkeeper, George Littleworth, was severely beaten by Buccumoolu and Williamy at Mr Peter’s out-station on the Murray Plains. Buccomoolu (aka Karri/Turle Kurree) a high status man of the Mount Bryan group, and ‘Williamy’ were arrested but Williamy escaped. Buccomoolu was tried at the Supreme Court for the attempted murder of Littleworth.

After 200 sheep went missing in January 1848, Price Maurice’s overseer, JF Hayward, accompanied by the police stationed at Mount Remarkable, found a group of women and children and a quantity of mutton. They stated that the sheep, and the men who took them, were in the neighbourhood of Mount Brown. On arriving at that location, Hayward realised he had been deceived. After eventually taking Charley prisoner, Hayward took him to Burra, where the magistrate refused to sentence Charley due to the lack of evidence.
