The scrittorio (desk) of the elemosinarius of the Grandmaster was stolen in the night together with the money assigned to him for the pursuit of his duties. By means of investigation it was discovered that Bernardino Debono and Micheale Agius had made a false key and used it to break into the elemosinarius' office, took the desk, made it out of the palace, hid the desk in an underground room belonging to Margerita Fiamenzo under the house of Lorenzo Tholossenti. They then enlisted the help of Angelo Portelli who helped take the desk elsewhere. Michael Agius was sentenced to hang, Bernardino Debono was sentenced to row for life, being spared the hanging for his young age, and Angelo Portelli was sentenced to row for three years.
