William Ledgerwood charged with imposing on A.W. Scott by telling him a false hood...A.W. Scott testified....The prisoner came to me the other morning to ask permission to take in some refreshments to a servant woman of Mr. Kemps to the watchhouse. I asked him what the woman was confined in the watch house for and what her conduct was. He replied that she had been quarrelling with a fellow servant who had been beating her and she had given herself up voluntarily. I again asked him if his statement was true mentioning the word drunkenness and if she was not put in for some crime. I asked him distinctly he again told me that she had not committed any crime, that she had given herself up making me believe that she had a charge to bring and therefore I gave him leave to take her the tea and sugar which I never allow to be don when a prisoner is there on a charge. Guilty. Sentenced to 14 days in the cells

William Lynch per ship Layton, assigned to John Bingle, charged with disobedience of orders. Jesse Coleman, holding a ticket of leave states - I am overseer to Mr. Bingle. Yesterday evening we were killing a bullock. I ordered the prisoner to go and bring a bucket of water to wash it out with. He refused to do so. The prisoner in his defence states - he is storekeeper and the meat when killed is placed in his charge. He considered the bullock lately had been improperly killed and he mentioned to his master Mr. Bingle his opinion, who told him the bullock should not be killed as he reported and then he mentioned this to the overseer who however persisted in killing the bullock. He then told the overseer he would have nothing to do with the beast and the overseer ordered him to fetch water which he declined - stating he would have nothing to do with it. Calls upon Mr. Bingle to prove that he states the truth. John Bingle states that after dinner yesterday he mentioned to the prisoner that if the bullock in the stock yard was only brought in that day to be killed it ought to be left until the next day and I told him to mention it to the overseer the overseer after this came to me and said the beast had not been done and the men were without meat. I therefore ordered the bullock to be killed. The Bench consider the prisoner culpable in refusing to obey the orders of the overseer but under the circumstances of this case only reprimand him and admonish him to be more guarded in future
