John Campbell per ship Bussorah Merchant, assigned to Donald McIntyre, charged with neglect of duty. Joseph Tree states - I am overseer to Mr. McIntyre and the prisoner is employed as a watchman and yesterday morning I saw a ram running about the bush; in going to the hurdles I met the prisoner and asked him if the sheep were all right. He replied they were. I went on to the hurdles and saw one flock not out. A short time after my master came; he and the shepherd counted them out and found two sheep short; one was found to be the ram which I saw and the other was a ewe found dead about 600 yards from the hurdles apparently recently killed by a native dog. Joseph Tree further deposes that whenever he appoints a watchman he invariably explains to them the nature of their duties. Amongst them that the sheep are always to be out of the hurdles at sun rise and this was explained to the prisoner and on this occasion it was an hour after sunrise when I found them in the hurdles. The prisoner states in his defence that he is unable to count the number of sheep and that the overseer did not give him precise instructions to turn the sheep out at sun rise and that he does not consider that on this occasion the sheep were longer in than usual. The Bench find the prisoner guilty of not putting the sheep out at sun rise and remand the case until next week for the attendance of the other shepherds to determine the reason

William Bates per Florentia, assigned to Donald McIntyre, charged with falsehood and disobedience. Joseph Free states - I am overseer to Donald McIntyre, and the prisoner is employed in stemming tobacco; on last Saturday morning I sent him to one of the stations to bring a dog home. The dog was not there and he returned to his work. During the day I went into the tobacco store where he was at work and he told me that 23 sheep had lambed at the station during the night. He also told me he had told the master the same thing. The master told me whenever they began to lamb fast they would require another man there. When I enquired at the master about it I found it was all false. The prisoner has disobeyed orders in persevering in keeping a puppy when he has been more than once told to get rid of it. Last Sunday morning when I was in his hut in which another boy resides, I said to them you can keep your selves clean of a Sunday now you have got your new clothes. The prisoner replied in a very indecent manner that he would keep himself as dirty as he liked. The prisoner states in his defence that he did not like to kill the dog when ordered to do so and denies having made use of improper language to the overseer. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to receive fifty lashes

Thomas Hogan, per ship Eliza, assigned to Donald McIntyre, charged with neglect of duty. Joseph Tree, states - I am overseer to Mr. McIntyre and the prisoner is employed as a shepherd; last Friday night when he came for his mess he said he had a sheep dead at his station. He said it was the watchman s dog had killed it. I went over to the station next morning to see the sheep. I saw it and asked the watchman how it was done; he said that the night before when he counted the prisoners flock into the fold there was one missing and he told the prisoner to go and look for it. He did so and found one dead and brought it to the station; the dog which he says killed the sheep has been a watch dog for the last eighteen months and I never heard of his killing any before.. William Kinsley states - I am an assigned servant to Mr McIntyre and watchman at the station along with the prisoner; last Friday I was out after cattle (the milking cows). On my return I went a little way up the hill and I saw the prisoners sheep rushed; he asked if I had rushed them; I said no. In a short time I went and counted in his sheep and found one short; the prisoner then went away in the direction where I had seen his flock rushed and returned in about a quarter of an hour with a dead sheep. Apparently newly killed and said it was the watch dog had killed in. I cannot say my dog would not kill a sheep but he is not in the habit of doing so. The Bench acquit the prisoner

John Finn per ship Larkins, assigned to Donald McIntyre, charged with neglect of duty. Joseph Free states - I am overseer to Mr. McIntyre and the prisoner is employed as a shepherd; on last Sunday morning I went to the station where the prisoner lives and found his sheep in the hurdles about an hour and a half after sunrise. I went to the hut and found him there along with the other shepherd and watchman. I asked him why his sheep were not out of the hurdles; he said he had been out looking for the cows. The prisoner states in his defence that the cows had got away from the station and the watchman was unable to go after them and requested me to do so.

DONALD MACINTYRE was born in 1790 in Argyleshire, Scotland, and in 1818 went to the United States, landing at Savannah, Georgia, and settling in Blonhim, Canada, where he selected land and resided for about four years. Having received very favourable reports of Australia from his brother (the late Peter Maclntyre, of Blairmore Estate, Scone, New South Wales), he in 1825 arrived in Sydney and received a grant from the Crown of 4000 acres of land. This he named Kayuga. Mr. Maclntyre was a true pioneer of this colony. He was a member of the Legislative Council, was twice married, and twice visited Scotland, from tin hence he brought out a number of Highlanders as shepherds, many of the descendants of whom are now in prosperous circumstances. For the last ten years of his life he resided principally in Sydney, where he died in 1866, leaving a family of one son and three daughters. Ile was succeeded by his son, Donald Maclntyre, who now owns Kayuga estate, the area of which has been increased, and represents 40,000 acres, including that portion known as the Cuan.
