James Kendall per Parmelia, Thomas Buckingham per Bengal Merchant, Daniel Dunn per Royal Admiral, William Graves per Henry Tanner all assigned to Alexander Walker Scott, charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct......John Jones testified...After serving out the rations on Saturday last, I went to Perry the baker for some bread. At the same time I asked the prisoners if they were ready to go over. Dun said no he should stop and have some beer, the other men I did not notice at the time. I went up the street and when I returned to the wharf, Thomas Buckingham was swearing. He said he knew all about it. We then got into the boat. Buckingham was drunk and swore he could pull an oar as well as the best of them. He lost his own twice in the water. I told him if he could not pull better than that he had better pull in his own. He said go on my lads all that he (meaning myself) can do to me is to get me fifty. I returned back to put him in the watch house. I called Constable Anthony for that purpose but he would not come to my assistance. William Graves told me if he was searched no one would find anything on him for he would put it in the water. Buckingham was drunk. Dun and Graves were the worst for drink but their conduct was good. I know nothing respecting Kendall. I did not give the prisoners leave to go to a public house....Alexander Walker Scott testified....Last Saturday evening when Jones reported to me he had put one of my men in the watch house I went into my stables to enquire concerning it. I asked Kendall about some charge that he wished to make against my Overseer Jones. Graves the carpenter, having said publicly before several people that he knew my stores were robbed by the means of a hole and he said the blame of the robbery on Jones the overseer. From Kendalls manner I thought he had been drinking which he acknowledged by saying he had some beer. He told me he did not know how the men got the money to pay for the beer. Upon enquiry I learnt that the men had sent a little boy, a son of Perry the baker for the beer. I have had Graves and Kendall up for the offence of sending the boy after the beer and for speaking against the overseer in such a disrespectful manner....Thomas Johnstone testified....On Saturday last when Graves spoke to me he was tipsy. It was about four oclock in the afternoon....Malcolm Perry testified....I did not hear permission asked of Mr. Dun for the prisoners to get anything to drink. Mr. Jones and the men were about to leave the settlement at the time I was with him when I saw Dun....William Bennett testified....I did not hear Mr. Jones give permission for the prisoners to get beer. I did not hear Buckingham ask Mr. Jones to have a drink of the beer....Buckingham found guilty and sentenced to 50 lashes. The other prisoners admonished and discharged.

Daniel Dunn per Royal Admiral, assigned to A.W. Scott, charged with robbery...Mrs.Handshaw testified.....I saw the prisoner coming down the River in a boat. I left the house and locked the door. I saw Dunn leave the boat. I was about fifty yards from the house at the time, before leaving the boat he rested on his oars, after leaving the boat he waited a while; he then went round the fence to the back door. There is a gateway in front of the house. I heard him speak to the parrot. He then lifted up the door, took the parrot out and placed it in his bosom. He then returned towards the launch. I overtook him and asked him for the parrot, he denied having the parrot at first. He then said as you are making such a fuss about the parrot you shall have it if you will not say any more about it. I said I would not have the parrot but I would acquaint his master of it. He said bugger the master and you too. He gave me a great deal of abuse when he was in the boat. He has often been at the back of the house for a fire stick. My daughter did not tell me that she had given the prisoner the yellow parrot to the one in question....William Bennett testified....As we were (myself and prisoner) coming down in the boat yesterday afternoon, we were dry. I saw that Mrs. Handshaw s door was locked, and I would not go on shore. Dunn went on shore and came with a parrot to the boat in his bosom or cap I cannot say which. I saw him take it out of his cap and put it in the boat. When Mrs. Handshaw came she asked Dunn where the parrot was. Dunn asked her what parrot. He said I have got no parrot. Mrs. Handshaw said I will not take it now, I will acquaint Mr. Scott of it. He took the parrot in his hand and asked me if he should give her the parrot or chuck it on shore. I said he had better give it to her. He chucked the parrot out of his hand when it flew away into the mangroves. He went back to the house but I cannot say what he said. They had some angry words. Mrs. Handshaw struck Dunn in the face at the time they were quarrelling. I did not hear him make use of any ill language towards the woman or speak in disrespectful terms of his master....Prisoner Daniel Dunn found guilty and sentenced to 12 months to an iron gang
