From The Hobarton Mercury, 5 February 1855 -
POLICE REPORT.
(Before the Police Magistrate.)
Friday, 2nd. Feb., 1855.
Robbing a drunken man.
William A'Herne, t.l., and William Welder, free, were charged with
robbing Arthur Millington of Sandy Bay, of some money and a
pen-knife last night. Constable John Smith, stationed at the New
Wharf, stated that from information which he had received he went to
the reservoir, in Montpelier Road, about 7 o'clock in the evening,
where he saw a man lying on the ground; the prisoner A'Herne was
taking something out of his pockets which he handed to Welder :
witness saw a knife and some copper money given to Welder. The
man Millington was very drunk and very stupid. The prisoners told
witness that they thought the man was dead. The prosecutor was not in
attendance, and Constable Morley told Mr. Wilmot that he had called
him out of the Waterloo Tap more than once: he supposed he had got
drunk again. A constable named Currier accompanied Smith to the
reservoir, and corroborated his testimony : after the prisoners were
taken into custody, witness apprehended Millington, and was taking
him to the station house when he was rescued from his custody. The
prisoners who were severally defended by Messrs. Brewer and
Knight, were remanded till to-morrow for the attendance of the
prosecutor. Welder, it appeared, had been for some time in the service
of Mr. Fraser, the Colonial Treasurer, but had left it the day before.
