We looked at the door to see who it was. Mr. Scotts man was playing the fiddle and Bagley and Lear were inside before the fire there was a bottle and some rum in it the bottle produced we took Bagley and Lear on going to the watch house we met the other four prisoners on the flat going towards the cottage. We brought them all to the watch house. Hannell was with me at the time....Constable Hannell testified.....On Saturday night last between twelve and one oclock I heard some singing and noise in Mr. Scotts Cottage. We knocked at the door. They admitted us. There was a bottle before Kendall on the floor. We took the two Company men in charge. In going towards the town we met the other four prisoners, none of them was disorderly. They were making no noise. James Rawson testified....I was at the mens barracks about half past eight on Saturday night when William Latham mustered the men. They were all present. I have not seen any of the prisoners from that time till now. There was a fight amongst the men late on that night inside on the Flats. I know no reason why the prisoners should not have gone to their beds that night....Mr. James Steele, Engineer, testified....At the hour of eleven I desired all the men to go to their beds including the prisoners. I cannot say that any of the men was drunk. I believe Bagley had been drinking. Clish has been with the Company nearly twelve months and I have had no trouble with him. All the prisoners are generally well behaved.....A.W. Scott testified....I do not remember ever giving the prisoner Kendall any positive orders that he should not admit any person into the cottage, but it is my impression that the prisoner must have known that it is against my orders and that he knows that some of my men have been punished for the same offence.....Sentence...Bagnal, Ridley, Armstrong 25 lashes each. Kendall 75 lashes
