Details: William Bygrove per ship Camden, in service of Col. Dumaresq, charged with refusing to work on pretence of sickness and with irregular conduct and insolence on other occasions. Lieut-Col Dumaresq states that on 1st instant, his Superintendent Mr. Wightman stated to him that the prisoner had refused to work alleging that he was not well and that he had no shoes. in reply to a question put by Mr. Wightman he said that as he had a pair of boots he perhaps might be able to work. He persisted in his refusal to work altho only required to hand straw to a man thatching and on being examined by deponent on the 3rd inst. his statements appeared so contradictory with reference to his ailments and so much at variance with his appearance that he called upon Doctor Macredie to visit him. The annexed certificate from that gentleman will show his impression that nothing ailed him. This impression has been since confirmed by the prisoner s subsequent conduct. Deponent further states that the prisoner s conduct has been marked by irregularity and insolence. He was sentenced by William Ogilvie to receive 50 lashes in consequence of an exaggerated instance of such behaviour but a succession of floods at that time preventing his being forwarded to the Bench for punishment and at the request of deponent this sentence was remitted. Deponent states that the prisoner was not entitled to shoes that he has received several articles of clothing more than due to him, but that finding he had only to appear without a proper dress to be supplied with what he wanted. He has frequently made away with or destroyed his clothes from want of proper care.. The Bench find the prisoner William Bygrove guilty and sentence him to receive fifty lashes

Details: James Spencer per ship Dunvegan Castle, assigned to Mr. Dangar, charged with improper conduct....Mr. John Button states - I am overseer to Mr. Dangar and about ten days ago I lent James Spencer a large blanket I believe belonging to Mr. Cann. Yesterday morning I gave him a blanket which I intended him to keep and took the former one from him and hung it on the cheese press and when I returned in the evening the blanket was gone. I asked the cook if he had taken it, he said he had not. I asked if he knew who had taken it and he said he believed Spencer had taken it. I asked the prisoner if he had taken it, he said he had. I told him to bring it to me, he said he would not. I went to his hut but could not find it. He gave me a great deal of abuse and said he would not have that blanket after I had been lending it about and said he would bring me to court today about it. And he refused to do light work about the place in consequence of having a slight rupture. He has been examined by Dr. Macredie who says he is quite able to do light work about the house. He never asked to do any hard work. The prisoner states in his defence that Mr. Button gave him the blanket which he considered as his own an d yesterday morning I missed my blanket and went to look for it and found it hanging on the cheese press and took it away. I asked the cook if he knew who took it and he said no. Denies ever telling Mr. Button that he would not give him the blanket. Said that he never refused to do light work. The Bench find the prisoner James Spencer guilty and sentence him to receive twenty five lashes

Details: Patrick Garry per ship Jane, assigned to Thomas Potter Macqueen, charged with disobedience. Jerry Horrigan states - he is a sheep overseer at Segenhoe; the prisoner (Garry is under his directions; yesterday week he came to the deponent and requested a pass to go to the farm as he was unwell which the deponent refused because there was no man to take charge of his flock but deponent told him that he should let him go as soon as Mr. Dow returned home which would be in a few days ( or words to that effect). So the prisoner went away and left his flock which the deponent was obliged to take care of himself until four days after when he (Garry) returned. The distance is about 25 miles from the station to the farm. Dr. John Maccredie states - Garry came to him yesterday afternoon and upon being asked if he wished to be taken into hospital he said no, that he had come down to get some shoes; the prisoner has complaint upon him of long standing but was not in such a situation that a delay of a few days would materially effect him. The prisoner states in his defence - the overseer never said to him that he would let him go to the doctor in a few days or any words to that effect. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to sixty lashes, being the third conviction
