Details:
John Connors per Prince Regent and John Smith per Asia, both in government service, charged with neglect of work and working for others in government hours. James Gallaghar, overseer of bush parties states - I landed the prisoners together with two men now in the bush, about the middle of last week at a place near Iron Bark Hill to burn lime for government. There were not any other lime burners there at the time that I am aware of.. On my going to them yesterday afternoon I saw the prisoners in government working hours carrying lime into a boat not belonging to government. Not seeing any lime burnt for government, I enquired what they had been doing, they replied their time had been doing; they replied their time had been occupied in collecting wood which they had found great difficulty in doing for want of a boat. I am convinced the lime they were putting into the boat was burnt by them, but not being present when they were at work, I cannot swear positively to it. When I first landed them I told them to work well and to get at least one kiln burnt and that they then might have a little time to work for themselves. All the work shown to me by the prisoners yesterday as done by them might have been done in two days and they have been there since Thursday week. The prisoners in their defence state - We could not get the lime ready not having a boat to collect wood to burn it. Sentenced to 7 days solitary confinement each.
