Local man tried for alleged wheat theft at Porches Court

Francis Stanley Barbe faced two charges at the Porches Court of Petty Sessions for allegedly stealing wheat valued at £8 18s 0d from William Nilon. Barbe pleaded not guilty, with defense by Mr. R Mellon. Witnesses described finding bags of wheat in a back room and on Orange Road, and questioned Barbe about how he obtained the grain. The court found the first charge proven and discharged Barbe on the second charge, citing insufficient evidence of possession of stolen wheat.
