The prisoner Powell again brought forward on the charge of assaulting the constable Joseph Williamson in the execution of his duty. Joseph Williamson states - I am a farm constable on the Segenhoe Estate - I was directed to proceed and take in charge the prisoner for having lost his sheep; after making him my prisoner he refused to go with me; when I went to handcuff him it became necessary as I had to take several others in custody, he sprang upon me and endeavoured to take my pistol out of my hand. I then struck him on the head with my whip when he stooped down and took up the two stones no shown in court - I was obliged to leave him that night as he refused to come with me. His overseer Horrigan was bye. The following morning I brought him down with another prisoner. They both refused to be handcuffed. Jeremiah Horrigan states - I was present when Williamson went to take the prisoner Powell in custody. I saw the prisoner seize hold of Williamson and went up to him in a threatening manner. I saw Williamson strike him with his whip when the prisoner took up the stones to throw at Williamson and refused to go with him saying he had done his days work and would not do any more. I told the prisoner to go quietly but he refused to be handcuffed or to go at all. The prisoner in his defence says he was first struck by Williamson; he told him he would be at his hut and go with him when he would return past in the morning. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentenced him to 35 lashes after the punishment already ordered on the day.
