........26th. Brother Edwards went on a journey to Bay False, where the Hillsborough was lying, to visit the convicts on board of that ship. He carried with him a letter written in our name by brother Edmond, to Rev. Mr Johnson, of Botany Bay, in favour of some of the convicts. 27th. There was a converted heathen woman slave abundantly baptised with the Holy Spirit, though not with water, who was at the head of a slave-meeting, at the bouse of Dr Vandersande, explaining the way of salvation, through Christ, to the poor Heathen. Brother Kicherer lectured in this meeting during his stay at the Cape, and brother Vanderkemp took the task upon him this evening: between thirty and forty were assembled. He spoke on a Phil. i. 1. and afterwards catechised them. This evening brother Edwards returned from the Hillsborough; he had found the convicts in a miserable condition, twenty-two of them died since their stay in Table Bay, and fifteen more were ill, without hope of recovery.1 Friend and Martin were among the dead: his account respecting the state of their souls was more favourable: they kept on with their prayer-meetings once or twice a-week; and as the convict Williams related, more were brought to serious impressions since our stay on board, and the work of God continued to prosper among them.

.........The individuals who have practised, or who claim a right to be admitted as attornies, are, George Crossley, Edward Eagar, GeorgeChartres, Michael Robinson,and William Fleming. With regard to their characters, George Crossley is a man notorious in the annals of Westminster, and his infamous and base character is well known to most practisers in His Majesty's courts at home; he was transported to this country at an advanced period of life, being convicted of wilful and corrupt perjury; and it was matter of congratulation at Westminster Hall, when he met the punishment due to his misconduct. His behaviour in this colony has been far from meritorious, and he has repeatedly deserved exclusion from that practice which he had heretofore been permitted to have...........

Patrick Cavanagh, in the service of Mr. Charles Griffiths, charged with neglect of work and insolent language to his Mater. Charles Griffiths states - on Tuesday last the prisoner was at work on my farm, he had his jacket on at the time. I did not think he could work properly and I desired him to take it off, he refused to obey, saying - You bloody old fellow, til very hard I cant have my own way - and threw his hoe towards me saying he would not work any more for me. He then quitted my farm and I heard no more of him til I was informed he was in the watch house at Newcastle. His general conduct has been very bad, frequently neglecting work. The Chief Constable states - the prisoner came to me on Tuesday evening he said he had left his masters farm on account of ill-usage from him. The prisoner states in his defence that his master was continually calling him a lazy Irish scoundrel although upon the average he broke up thirteen rod of ground per day besides milking three cows. That upon several occasions lately his master has taken his blanket from him and turned him out to sleep all night in a hollow tree and that he has also frequently taken away his jacket. Charles Griffiths admits that upon one ot two occasions when the prisoner was insolent and refused to work he has taken away his blanket and turned him out of the house for the night, also admits having taken away the jacket occasionally but that it was to take care of it. Upon these admissions the charged were dismissed and Mr. Griffiths was informed that if a recurrence of this treatment again took place towards his government servant he would be taken from him. Cavanagh was at the same time admonished to conduct himself in a respectful manner towards his master
