There's a lot of law! How did I learn it? I had plenty of time in Berrima Gaol worse luck my first stretch. But it was after I'd done the foolishness, and not before.
The prisoner Starlight is sentenced to seven years' imprisonment; the prisoner Richard Marston to five years' imprisonment; both in Berrima Gaol. I heard the door of the dock unclose with a snap. We were taken out; I hardly knew how. I walked like a man in his sleep. 'Five years, Berrima Gaol! Berrima Gaol! kept ringing in my ears.
Andrew Hume, who held an appointment in the Commissariat Department, and came to the colony in the LADY JULIAN. The future explorer was born at Parramatta in 1797, so that he was but seventeen when, in 1814, he made his maiden effort in the country around Berrima, in company with his brother and a black boy; and-in the year following he again made an excursion in this district.
But she didn't say much, or ask what I was going to do next. Poor soul! she knew it couldn't be much good anyway; and that if we were hunted before, we'd be worse hunted now. Those that hadn't heard of our little game with the Momberah cattle would hear of our getting out of Berrima Gaol, which wasn't done every day.
His eyes were worse than his voice at such times. There weren't many men that liked to look back at him, much less say anything. Now he said, 'That means five years of Berrima, Dick, if not seven. It's cooler than these infernal logs, that's one comfort. I said nothing. I couldn't joke. My throat was dry, and I felt hot and cold by turns.
As for Jim, he heard it straight enough, but he went on whistling and patting the mare's neck, teasing her like, because she was so uneasy to get her head-stall off and run after the others. 'Why, in New Zealand, to be sure. The blamed fool stuck there all this time, just because he found himself comfortably situated among people as he liked. I wonder how he'll fancy Berrima after it all?
'Well, we must chance it, I suppose, I said; 'but we were sold once, and I've not much fancy for going back again. 'They're all looking for you the other way this blessed minute, I'll go bail, says Jim. 'Most of the coves that bolt from Berrima takes down the southern road to get across the border into Port Philip as soon as they can work it. They always fancy they are safer there.
My love for Dick got the better of my reason for a bit, but I could Why, how pale you look! He was growing pale, and no mistake. He had been ill for a bit before he left Berrima, though he wouldn't give in, and the ride was rather too much for him, I suppose. Anyhow, down he tumbles in a dead faint. Aileen rushed over and lifted up his head. I got some water and dabbed it over him.
THEN you may have reason to curse the day, as I do most heartily, when you first set eyes on KATE MULLOCKSON. Not a pleasant letter, by no manner of means. I was glad I didn't get it while I was eating my heart out under the stifling low roof of the cell at Nomah, or when I was bearing my load at Berrima.
