The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) Sat 2 Nov 1861 Page 8 EDEN, TWOFOLD BAY ^[3]

A robbery was committed at one of our inns a few evenings back, in which a traveller, who, no doubt, had been indulging too freely, was eased of some £8 or £10. Four people, named Charles Alexander, Joseph Blaxter Charles Morrison, and Elizabeth Sturges are in custody ; the money has all been traced, but as the men have not been examined, I refrain from giving the current report.
