BOROUGH COURT
The following prisoners were severally tried before J. Clarke, esq., King's Counsel, and were severally disposed of as follows:
Robert West, aged 15, and Richard Loseby, aged 17, for stealing 5s in copper from the shop of Messrs. Swinfin and Redfern, were sentenced to be transported for 7 years.
So began Richards career as a convict !
In 1839 we see; Landsdowne Bridge toll, to Richard Loseby, for 12 months, £300; the toll at Brokenback Bridge, Parra- matta, Richard to Loseby, 12 months, £500 ; ditto at Howe's Bridge, near Windsor974
Richard walked to Sydney from Goulburn in four days with the first delivery of mail.
The three Loseby brothers, Richard, Charles and Thomas settled in the Bong Bong district.
The Bong Bong district was generally considered a hundred years ago to extend from "Harby Farm" to "Throsby Park", and for a mile or two radius from the village.
Mr. Charles Loseby (incorrectly spelt Lozeby) acquired soon after arriving in Australia in 1845 two of the Veterans' blocks; No. 47 from W. R. Green, which he called "Saradale", and No. 46 from Lynn Shepherd which was called "Mt. Pleasant"; on the N.W. end of this block he built "Harby Farm" (now the property of Mr. Frank Albert).
Opposite, facing the Old Argyle Road, Thomas Loseby (a former Army Sergeant, and a brother of Charles and Richard Loseby), built an Inn, the "Farmers' Home", the foundation marks of which are still discernible.
Richard Loseby became proprietor of the Inn in 1832, and in 1836 John Richards conducted it till early in the next year the license was thrown up and Bong Bong had no place of shelter or refreshment.

WILLIAM BOWMAN,
LATE OF THE ARGYLE INN, BONG BONG,
HAVING given up that Establishment,
takes this opportunity of returning his sincere
thanks to his Friends and the Public, for their
liberal patronage, and begs to recommend to their
notice his successor, Mr. Richard Loseby, and
who he is confident will do every thing in his
power to promote the comfort of those who may
have occasion to call there.

Richard lent James Harper money - 150 pounds - soon after James had built the Surveyor General Inn. They would have know each other from Bong Bong where Harper was the chief constable for four years. Possibly the loan went to building Harper's Mansion but we do know it was repaid after one year and proof that the keeping an inn was a lucrative business.
Richard also bought an allotment in Berrima but I have no evidence he ever built on it or if he lived here - possibly he was speculating on the township growing and his purchase yielding a profit.
Richard's brother, Thomas, must have lived here for a couple of years as he was mentioned as a constable at Berrima.
