jeffries was a violent sexual offender, and on 25 august 1825 was fined half of his salary for falsely imprisoning and assaulting mrs jessop. in october he was fined 20 shillings for taking a female prisoner out of the watch house. on 31 december 1825, jeffries and three convicts, perry, russell and hopkins, escaped from the launceston watch house. they robbed the hut of a mr barnard, then broke into the house of a settler called tibbs, about five miles from launceston. tibbs's wife and five-month-old child and a neighbour called basham were at the house. when they tried to tie the men up, they resisted. basham was shot and killed, and tibbs wounded. the bushrangers left, taking mrs tibbs and the baby. when mrs tibbs could not keep up, jeffries grabbed the baby and bashed its head against a tree, killing it. the baby's remains, which had been partly eaten by animals, were discovered about a week afterwards in the bush. mrs tibbs returned home on sunday afternoon. the newspapers were coy about her state, but it is likely she had been raped. according to mrs tibbs, jeffries was calling himself "captain", and was dressed in a long black coat, a red waistcoat, and a kangaroo skin cap.
