Thomas Wood and Thomas Thomas both assigned to the A.A. Company, charged with gambling on the Sabbath. Constable William Rouse testified.....I received information that the A.A. Company men were gambling on Sunday. Constable Smith and myself went on Sunday last in coming towards the yards of the A.A. Company we saw about a dozen men standing on the front of the hut. Looking at the prisoner Woods I saw him toss some half pence up. I could not particularize the man that was gambling with him when they saw me the two prisoners ran away. I called to them to stop but they did not do so but tried to get into the hut. Constable Thomas Smith testified. On Sunday morning expecting to fine some prisoners gambling we saw in coming home a great many of the A.A. Company men in front of their huts. On looking at them I saw the prisoner Wood chuck something I thought it was half pence. The prisoners when they saw us ran away. We followed them and took them. Prisoners deny the charge. Guilty. Sentenced to fifty lashes each.
