Details: John Williamson per Henry Porcher, assigned to William Dun at Paterson River, charged with an assault on Margaret Jones....Margaret Jones testified....I think it was on Saturday fortnight that myself and prisoner had a row.. I shoved the prisoner when he struck me. It was in the kitchen. I then gave him a good beating. He struck me with his fist on the ear, the blow did not knock me down. He only struck me once. He did not tear my clothes. I have no more to say about the prisoner. He did not tear my cap, it fell off. I do not remember telling any of Mr. Dun s family of the circumstances. I do not remember having said to Miss Fanny Dun that the boy would have murdered me if she had not come into the kitchen.....Mr. Dun testified...I think it was last Thursday month when I came home Mrs. Dun told me of the boy having assaulted the woman. I called the woman and boy before me and after having questioned the woman as to what she had told Mrs. Dun and then I questioned about the usage she had received from the prisoner. She said she had gone into the kitchen after telling Mrs. Dun when the boy struck her two or three blows. She was on the ground, the boy kicked her several times that had not my daughter came in at the time considered she would have received much worse usage. I then asked her if he had been quarrelling with her she said no. I then questioned the boy. He said she had no business to tell about him and he implied he had given her worse, it served her right. The woman begged me not to take him to court for it as she had given him a good beating when she got up and she did not wish to get him punished. The prisoner has been flogged twice. He has received thirty and fifty lashes. Guilty of disorderly conduct. Sentenced to 75 lashes, half on the breach and half on the back.

Details: John Williamson per Henry Porcher, assigned to William Dun, charged with an assault on Mrs. Dun....Mr. Dun testified..On Saturday month I believe I was in the garden when I heard a noise in the house I went to the house and I saw Mrs. Dun supported by two female servants. I asked what was the matter and asked her if she was hurt. She said no dont be frightened I am not hurt. The servant told me that she was standing at the front kitchen door that she saw the prisoner strike Mrs. Dun in the face. She said that she was so surprised that the prisoner had time to strike Mrs. Dun three times before she could come to her assistance. When she ran to Mrs. Dunn and received the fourth blow intended for Mrs. Dun in her own bust. I asked Mrs. Dun if she had occasion to find fault with the prisoner that day. She said no she was walking through the kitchen without taking notice of him. She did not observe that he was in the kitchen when he came and struck her.....Margaret Jones testified....On Saturday about a month since I was going through the kitchen to the tobacco shed to Mrs. Dun. She was coming back with me I was before Mrs. Dun. I heard her scream out and I turned round, I saw the prisoner striking her. I ran to her and prevented her from getting another blow. I received the blow myself. The first blow I saw was on the cheek, the second blow I believe was on the breast. I do not know what the boy said. I do not believe that he spoke. The boy said something about using an axe to Mrs. Dun some days before. Guilty. Sentenced to 12 months in an iron gang
