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

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

Robert Young per ship Hindostan, in government service, charged with permitting riotous and disorderly conduct in his house. Chief Constable George Muir states - Yesterday in the morning just as the military were about to assemble to hear divine service, I heard a great noise at Youngs house. After the service was over, Mr. Dun s servant came to me and complained that Johanna Lane had thrown a stone at him. This man has since returned to Pattersons Plains. I went to Youngs house where Johanna Lane resides with her husband - the husband was absent up the river on duty and in his absence I believe the woman cohabited with Young. I found Young and the woman seated beside each other. His face was cut and bleeding. A government man named Samuel O Hare was also in the room and during the time I was there drank a glass of spirits from a decanter on the table. I enquired where the rum came from, Young told me it was part of a half-gallon brought to the house by Thomas Boardman, a settler at Wallis Plains who occasionally lodges with him. He also told me that his face had been cut by a man whom he had prevented forcing his way into the house. About an hour after I was obliged to return to Young s house in consequence of being informed that another disturbance had taken place there - I was accompanied by two constables, but when we arrived at the house all was quiet. In the house were William White and wife and Thomas Boardman (all free person) and Samuel O Hare. Young appeared much in liquor. Robert Young sentenced to be confined at night in the barracks
