Description: At the Cooma Police Court on Saturday, before Mr. S. Robinson, J.P., John Hanson was charged with abducting Susan Carney, a girl 15 years of age. The accused was arrested at Braidwood on a warrant issued from Cooma. Mary Carney, mother of the girl, residing at Seymour, deposed that her daughter was over 14 years of age, but not 15. She never gave her consent to her daughter to marry Hanson, and as soon as she missed her from home and found that the prisoner had also left the district, she procured a warrant for his arrest. Her daughter told her that they were married at Braidwood. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday. On Wednesday, before Mr. Dawson P.M., a double charge of abduction and making a false declaration was preferred against Hanson; and after evidence of the date of the birth of the girl Carney had been taken, also the evidence of Thomas Carney, the father, prisoner was remanded to Braidwood on both charges.

Description: Anne Martin was born around 1820 in Sussex, UK daughter of John Martin and Dinah Tapp

She arrived in Sydney as an unaccompanied female immigrant  on the Burhampooter in August 1841.. Daughter of John Martin  and Dinah Tapps (dead) born Haddimer.  Brought out by  Nicholas Palmer good health but not very strong , Wesleyan, reads and writes  Her sister Mercy had arrived earlier on 7th August 1839 on the Florist.  Mercy was one of the witnesses to Anne's first marriage to John Hanson on 28th August 1848. 

On 28th March 1853 there is a note in the Sydney Morning Herald " Notice - My wife, Ann Hanson having left her home without any provocation, I hereby give notice that I will not be responsible for any debt or debts she may contract. John Hanson Sofala March 17"  Evidently around this time Ann left John Hanson and in due course began a relationship with Michael McMahon and moved from the Sofala goldfields to the Braidwood area.

THE INQUEST.
The Coroner, Mr. F.B. Montague, held an inquest on the remains of George Kealing, Ann Kealing, and. Robert Palmer, at Coolringdon on Monday afternoon. Sub-inspector Baker  was present. Jury :  T. Gorman (foreman) Alexander Seers, Wm. Kennedy, sen., Wm. Kennedy, jun., James Morrissey. Sub-inspector Baker, of police, stationed at Cooma, sworn : on Saturday evening about a quarter to 7. James V Williams reported to me that George Kealings house was burnt to the ground, and he saw some charred, white bones among the remains ; next morning, in company with the Coroner, I proceeded to the place, about half a mile from Coolringdon home station; I then saw the remains of a house that had been burnt to the ground-; the sheets of iron were on the bodies, which were then smouldering ; I found human remains on three different parts of the floor ; (plan produced) ; on No. 1, where the skull was found, I found a bag of wheat; on No. 2, I found some remains of a body on an iron bedstead  ; in no. 3 l found other remains, the head lying near the door ; all that could be found among the remains were some spurs, buckles, &c. ; all but the iron about the place was consumed ; the remains were removed to the store outside. James Williams, overseer on Coolringdon Station, sworn: I met Robert Palmer before sundown on Friday evening about two miles from Coolringdon, on the Cooma road; Palmer, appeared to be quite sober, about half-past 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon I came home by way of Kealing's, and his place was burnt to the ground ; I looked, but could see nothing; I went to see her son Murdoch McMahon to see if his mother had been there ; she had not ; we returned ; we shifted a sheet or two of iron, and saw a heap of bones ; we then went in and reported the matter to the police, I was present on Sunday morning when the police picked up the bones ; the house was built of slabs, and the plan produced is like the floor of the house; the house was ceiled with pine, and papered ; there was household furniture in the place, and wheat and chaff in the skilling ; I saw the place standing last Mon day ; the place was not insured ; it was owned by Mr. David Ryrie, and worth about 50; Murdoch Mc Mahon was with me when I met Palmer, and told me who the old man was. Murdoch McMahon, laborer, re siding at Coolringdon, sworn : I am a son of Mrs Keeling one of the deceased ; I got up about 4 o'clock on Saturday morning, and heard like a tree falling when at my own place, round the hill here ; looked round in the direction of my mother's place, and saw a smoke ; I went to bed again ; on Saturday evening, Williams asked me if I saw my mother; I said no; he said "The house is burned to ashes ;" the old man (Kealing) was in the habit of setting fire to the trees to get fire wood, and I came to the conclusion that one of the trees came crashing down ; I went with Williams to the house, which was burnt to the ground ; I saw the bone's of one of the bodies ; I came back ; I was with Williams when we met Palmer; he was not under the influence of liquor, and he offered us no grog, I saw no drink with him; my mother's age was about 59 years ; I knew Palmer to speak to ; my mother used to take a drink occasionally; Kealing was addicted to drink. Kate McMahon, wife of Murdoch McMahon, sworn: Robert Palmer called at my place about 5 on Friday evening ; he asked to be directed to George Kealing's, and I directed him I do not think Palmer was under the influence of drink, but he said he had a drop of grog ; he said he wished to see the old couple.; I saw no grog with him ; I saw two little girls open the gate for him ; he said he would call in the morning when coming back ; I have not seen him since. Patrick O'Donnell , a laborer, sworn: Last Friday I saw Mrs. Kealing an hour before sundown ; she was here, at Coolringdon. Emma Gracie, wife of Joseph Gracie, of the Royal Hotel, Cooma, sworn : Palmer called at my place between 1 and 2 p.m. on Friday, and. I served him with a glass and a bottle of rum ; he left my place sober ; he put the bottle of rum in a pack on the horse, and took it away. Murdock McMahon, recalled : In the room (No. 3) near the fireplace I saw with bones a stay or bandage that used to be worn by Kealing; I saw on Sunday morning a horse that was ridden by Palmer on the Friday. 
John Hanson said Palmer used to knock about with sheep at Adaminaby ; Palmer has a selection; he has no relatives In this colony. .; Dr. Clifford, sworn : I have seen what I take to be human remains, in three parcels, those of two males and one female;. I cannot tell the ages, the remains are so charred ; none of the bones are whole. The Coroner summed up. The jury returned a verdict-that they believed the remains found to be those of George Kealing, Ann Kealing, and Robert Palmer, and that there is no evidence to show how the fire originated
