William Shearman per ship England, assigned to T.P. Macqueen; James Simpson per ship Portland assigned to H.C. Sempill; John Connor per ship Georgiana assigned to H.C. Sempill charged with disobedience of orders and neglect of duty....Henry Nesbitt states - I am overseer at Segenhoe and the prisoners are employed as shepherds; on the 24 and 25th February I was going up the river to one of the sheep runs and found the three prisoners together with their sheep; Simpson had come about two miles away from his run; and I have repeatedly found Shearman and Connor together with their sheep and on one occasion I found them about the middle of the day with their sheep mixed in the hurdles; and on another occasion Shearman told me he would take his sheep where he liked. The General order to all shepherds are that they are not to be together. The Prisoner Shearman stated that if I took him to Court, that he would have satisfaction. The prisoner Shearman states in his defence that on the occasion that the sheep were mixed they got in the hurdles in the night and they had not had time to separate them when the overseer came up. John Connor states in his defence that he was never out of his own run; Simpson states nothing in his defence. The Bench acquit the prisoners Shearman and Connor of that part of the charge where they state the sheep got mixed in the hurdles but find them guilty of the remaining charges and sentence Shearman to receive thirty five lashes; John Connor twenty five lashes and James Simpson 25 lashes, all to inflicted this day week the 10th inst.
