Details:
John Higgins per Exmouth and Edward Maughan per Regalia, assigned to William Sparke are charged by their master with leaving his farm without a pass or permission....William Sparke testified....This morning when I got up the prisoners were up at my house instead of being at work. I asked them what they wanted, they said they wanted some rations - some more flour. I replied they had had six pounds of flour each and I would go down with them to the overseer to see what barley had been issued to them. I gave them before we went some maize to be taken down in case of any deficiency of barley on account of the rain. I asked the overseer in their presence what barley the men had had. He said Maughan had 3 quarts and Higgins had four. I considered three quarts of barley equal to three lbs of flour. Maughan said if he was to get no more he must go to work. I left the farm when about 3/4 of an hour afterwards the overseer sent word that these two men had left the farm. They never asked me for any pass and went without any permission. I overtook them near Newcastle and gave them in charge. In answer to questions for Higgins - He did not ask me for a pass. I should have given one had he asked (signed William Sparke).....In defence the men state that they had not anything to eat and were coming in to make a complaint after one of them having first asked permission. Maughan states that he had returned the barley to the overseer as being unfit for use. Case remanded for the evidence of the overseer.

The case of John Higgins and Edward Maughan resumed from the previous day.....George Fullick, ticket of leave holder and overseer to William Sparke, testified...Both the prisoners had six pounds of flour each and Higgins had four quarts of barley and Maughan had three quarts of barley. These men did not ask for a pass, but merely said they were going to Newcastle. Maughan did not return me any of the mess I had only some siftings of the barley which I took from under the table. There were three men in the hut of Maughan. Some morning of the beginning of the week Mr. Sparke stated in my presence and in the presence of the two prisoners that if they did their work well he would recommend them he would allow them extra rations. Prisoners were found guilty. Maughan was sentenced to 50 lashes. Higgins was sentenced to 75 lashes.
