Patrick Hynes per Earl St. Vincent, assigned to Mr. James Smith of Fullerton Cove, charged with refusing to work. Dixon Belsie, overseer to Messrs John and James Smith, says on Saturday morning last about ten oclock in the day I desired the prisoner to go down to Newcastle with the Boat from the dairy. He left the boat at the limeburners as he told me he returned to me at eleven oclock, I then desired him to go out with the cattle, he said he would not as he had no shoes. He went to other work. On the following morning Sunday, I desired him to milk, he refused and did not milk. It is his usual work to milk every day. On the Monday morning following after milking I desired him to fetch a bullock out of the yard which he refused to do and abused me. He called me a Sugee Bugger and told me he would not do it for me. His behaviour was very improper. He afterwards did as he was desired. It was just on the turn of high water when I desired the prisoner to start for Newcastle. The prisoner is an impertinent man. The prisoner states in defence that he has only been milking a fortnight and he is allowed no indulgence for milking on Sunday and that he has no shoes to follow the cattle. He was supplied with slops on the last day for serving them but his shoes do not last him more than a month. The reason of his coming back from the limeburners was that the wind and tide was so strong that he could not get down and he wished to get permission from his overseer to stop until the turn of the tide. The overseer then had another man. Found guilty and sentenced to receive fifty lashes.

James Kearns, per ship Earl St. Vincent, in government service, charged with theft...Mr. John Cheers states - a little after nine on Saturday night last, I missed a box of candles from my house, which I immediately reported to the Chief Constable. I saw a man resembling the prisoner on the following morning early at the Hill at the back of my house, he was looking about without any visible business. As soon as my household affairs would permit me I went on the hill; the man was gone, but I discovered marks of tallow on the sand. Mr. Muir, Chief Constable states - in consequence of Mr. Cheers having informed me of the robbery at his house on Saturday night, I directed the constables to be on the alert the next morning at day break and I gave them the names of several whom I suspected, the prisoner being one of them. He was the first they met in the morning. He crouched as he walked along and was dressed in an old dirty pair of trousers, no covering on his head, an old grey jacket, just as Mr. Cheers has described the man to have worn whom he had that morning seen on the hill at the back of his house. I accompanied Mr. Cheers to the hill and having searched about we came to a place where the sand appeared disturbed and several pieces of candles were scattered about. There was a naked footstep which I measured. A few yards from that spot with the assistance of a dog, we found the box of candles before the court, I then went in search of the prisoner. He was found dressed with clean trousers over those he had on in the morning. He had two waistcoats on and wore a hairy cap; on taking him to the watch house I examined his hands, between each of his fingers there was sand as if he had been digging with his hands. The length of his foot agrees exactly with the measure I had taken of that in the sand. The prisoner is not allowed to sleep out of barracks but on Saturday night he was absent and he told me he had slept on the hill. The prisoner in his defence states - I was drinking at Mr. Cheers Hill about 7 o clock on Saturday evening. I then went to my work at the mines, which having done, I returned and instead of going to barracks, I slept on the Hill. The clean clothes I had on I got from a fellow prisoner who was a stranger in the town to take care of - he gave them to me on Saturday evening when I immediately put them on. The sand got on my hands after I was in the watch house. When I was seen in the morning by the constables I had the same dress on as when Mr. Muir took me into custody. Remanded for another hearing.....The Bench are of opinion there is not sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner and he is discharged
