Circuit Court, Graham's Town

15th April 1845

Before this Court

James HART - Murder

being arraigned pleaded Not Guilty.

The Jury which found him Guilty of Culpable Homicide not Murder consisted of:
1. John Talbot
2. Thomas Berry
3. William Bartlet
4. Robert Blackbeard
5. Joseph Wilmot
6. Joseph Bradfield
7. William Upton
8. George Belfelds
9. Richard Bradfield.
The Circuit Court decided to refer the case to the Supreme Court.

VERDICT: NOT GUILTY OF MURDER but GUILTY OF CUPABLE HOMICIDE.

Judgement of the Court:

To be imprisoned in the gaol of Graham's Town or such other place as the Governor shall appoint for ten years with hard labour.
G. Cromer, Registrar of Court.

As it turned out he didn't serve the 10 years in gaol. For some reason he was sent to Robben Island (then a leper colony and insane asylum) and appears to have been released after about 4 years.

His 2nd wife Martha Louisa KLOPPER gave birth to Richard Tamplin (Dickie) HART on the 15th Novbember 1850 so he must have been out of gaol at least 9 months before that date.
