     63. (M.) Thomas Bryan , was indicted, for stealing one wether sheep, val. 18 s. the property of Simon Hillatt , Dec. 23.

     Philip Gasioyne . I live at Poplar. I was in my garden about 7 o'clock at night, on the 23d of Dec. I saw Mr. Hillatt's sheep running about the field, which is near my garden; I went and saw the prisoner standing against the fence, and a sheep between his legs: Mr. Floy was with me; I said, what is that man doing? he ran away directly, there was only a ditch between us, we pursued, and in about half a mile overtook him; we took him to Mr. Rogers's, who looks after the marshes, and left-him there, and went to the sheep; it was lying in the skin, which was taken off, and the head was in the ditch. Mr. Hillatt swore to the sheep: he had taken the sheep out of Mr. Hillatt's ground into a field next to it.

     Mr. Floy confirmed the account given.

     Simon Hillatt . I am a butcher. Mr. Rogers came to me the day before Christmas-day, and told me what had happened; I went to his house the next day, and found the skin to be a skin of one of my sheep; I took that and the sheep home, and took the prisoner before the justice; there he said he was drove to it by necessity; that he had a man with him who told him, if he would go along with him he would shew him where he should have mutton enough; that they went to my field and catched one and killed it.

     Q. What was the sheep worth?

     Hillatt. It cost me 18 s. I lost very little by it.

     Q. to Gascoyne. Did you see any body with the prisoner?

     Gascoyne. No, I did not.

     Guilty. Death. Recommended to mercy'*

They were a good couple, full of life and it is a pity we didn't see more of them. Alison moved to Perth some years ago and lived at 80/7 Harmon Rd Sorrento, quite close to [one of ] her daughter[s].²'

John left his family in Kilsyth and went to Canada to investigate prospects there - my older sister believes that may have been just prior to WW1. Family legend holds that he returned saying Canada was too cold (might have been winter, perhaps?). In July 1920 John and Agnes left Kilsyth with their children bound for Australia.

I remember one time when my grandmother was having great difficulty cleaning a saucepan that had been slightly burnt; I suggested that she should use some steel wool. She said she would like to get some but grandfather said it would wear the saucepans out and would not permit it. I spoke to grandfather once about working in Scotland. His barber's shop was in Kilsyth, a village about 12 miles east of Glasgow. Many of the men in the town worked in coalmines in Kirkintilloch. This was a couple of miles from Kilsyth over the hills and the men walked there and back each day. They used to come to him on a Saturday morning for a shave. Shaves cost one penny and haircuts were three pence. Unfortunately they never washed before coming and their beards were full of coal dust and used to blunt and gap the old cutthroat razors...⁸' He and Agnes Hamilton lived in 1936 at 16 Roxburgh Street, Ascot Vale, Maribyrnong, Victoria, Australia; and they were recorded on the Australian Electoral Roll; he was a hairdresser and she was doing home duties.
