Details:
William Dunnett per ship Exmouth, assigned to H.C. Sempill, charged with insolence and neglect of duty....Mr. Mitchell states - I am overseer to Mr. Sempill and the prisoner is employed as a shepherd and on last Sunday week the prisoner left his station and came to the farm for rations without permission; on my asking him what brought him away from his station he stated that the watchman was unwell and that he came down for the rations. After he had received his rations, I supposed he had returned to his station. On going out in about half an hour after, I saw him in one of the huts. I ordered him to go out to his station immediately which he refused to do. I asked where his sheep were and he said they were in charge of the watchman. I went to the station and asked the watchman the reason why he did not come for the rations. He said that altho he was not quite well he was able to fetch the rations but the Dunnett wished to come. Mr. Sempills directions are that the watchmen should come for the rations and not the shepherd. On my return home I met him on the road when he gave me a great deal of insolence and said that he would come in for rations as often as he liked. The prisoner states in his defence that he was not aware that Mr. Mitchell was authorized to interfere with the shepherds. The watchman said he was unwell and asked me to go to the farm for the rations..Mr. Dow states that he has instructed Mr. Mitchell on all occasions that he can spare time from his other duties to visit all the sheep stations in his neighbourhood and that he has been in the habit of doing so for the last six weeks and that Mr. Mitchell has reported to him that he has visited the prisoners station more than once and that the prisoner has been otherwise under Mr. Mitchells orders. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to receive twenty five lashes
