Thirty sheep were taken from the White brothers’ shepherd, John Keyan, who was held down by two men.

After learning that thirty sheep had been taken and shepherd, John Keyan, had been assaulted, Samuel and Edwin White, and their overseer, William Moore Carter, went in pursuit of those they presumed were responsible. Carter rode at full gallop at a group of Aboriginal people with a stockwhip in his hand and pistol in his belt. No deaths were reported. Carter was subsequently dismissed.

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.

JF Hayward informed his employer, Price Maurice, that ‘the blacks’ were very troublesome in mid-December 1847, and that one hundred sheep had been taken by ‘Yellowman’ and ‘Charlie’ from the Pekina station.
