Joseph Walker in the service of government charged with stealing from a fellow prisoner. The chief constable states - Walker lodges at Robert Youngs house. On Friday night Young and his wife were quarrelling. I went into the house to pacify them. Walker was there also a soldier who told me he had remained in the house to prevent Young from ill-treating his wife; it was about 11 oclock. The woman went out and I followed as did the soldier. Young also went in pursuit of his wife leaving Walker only in the house with a lamp burning. In about ten minutes Young came to me stating that six or eight dollars had been taken during his absence from his waistcoat which he had left on his bed. I went back to the house and found Youngs waistcoat on the path way in front of his house. Walker was inside. I found some dumps buried. I also searched Walker. The soldier who returned with me also required me to search him. I did not find any money on either of them. Peter Cotton states.... I lodge in the skilling adjoining Youngs bed room. I heard him and the others leave the house on Friday night, shortly after I heard the jingling of money. I cannot tell who was in Youngs room. Walker denies any knowledge of the robbery. Joseph Walker sentenced to 50 lashes and to work in the jail gang for 3 months

Johanna Lane per ship Woodman, in government service, charged with riotous and disorderly conduct. Constable William Turvey states - Yesterday in the afternoon about three o clock, I was directed by the Chief Constable to proceed to the lodgings of the prisoner at Robert Young s house where there had been a disturbance. I went and took her into custody. She was slightly intoxicated; she went with me to the watch house without hesitation. There were other persons in the house at the time and there was liquor on the table. Thomas Bishop, a constable states - I went to Young s house yesterday for some provisions for a prisoner in the watch house. Whilst there Johanna Lane came from a back room complaining that she had been struck by one of Mr. Dun s servants. I enquired for him but was informed he had gone to the Chief Constable to prefer a complaint on his part. I did not see the prisoner drink any liquor whilst I was in the house, but she appeared to have drank more than she ought. The prisoner states. The constables mistake in saying I was tipsy. I had received a blow on the face from one of Mr. Dun s servants which swelled it. I did not throw a stone at Mr. Dun s servant. Johanna Lane sentenced to 4 days solitary confinement
