Details:
Eugene Quinn, charged with embezzlement. - Peter McIntyre sworn, deposed - the prisoner at the bar was a hired servant of mine and employed by me in the capacity of clerk and store keeper. He was so employed under an agreement at the rate of forty pounds per year. The prisoner has been upwards of two years in my service. In consequence of repeated drunkenness and disorderly conduct, I found it expedient to place a man in his place over the store. I placed a written notice to this effect on the store. I gave the prisoner five pounds on account of wages and left him to balance his accounts and settle his books. I placed a man of the name of Watt in his place and then left the farm for Sydney. While in Sydney I received a letter from the prisoner which I now produce, calling upon me to pay him the sum of twenty four pounds sterling, balance of wages and also his salary for the current year and stating that he had been obliged to the alternative of leaving my establishment.....Quinn took with him the farm account books and refused to give them up until his demands had been met. Witnesses in court David Watts and Alexander Campbell who was superintendent to Peter Mcintyre, and Donald McPhee who was employed as sheep overseer to Peter McIntyre, Thomas Rushton who was an assigned servant, James Attwood, ticket of leave holder and brickmaker of Abermain and Patrick Bourke, assigned servant.
