Details: John Williamson per Henry Porcher, assigned to William Dun at Paterson River, charged with an assault on Margaret Jones....Margaret Jones testified....I think it was on Saturday fortnight that myself and prisoner had a row.. I shoved the prisoner when he struck me. It was in the kitchen. I then gave him a good beating. He struck me with his fist on the ear, the blow did not knock me down. He only struck me once. He did not tear my clothes. I have no more to say about the prisoner. He did not tear my cap, it fell off. I do not remember telling any of Mr. Dun s family of the circumstances. I do not remember having said to Miss Fanny Dun that the boy would have murdered me if she had not come into the kitchen.....Mr. Dun testified...I think it was last Thursday month when I came home Mrs. Dun told me of the boy having assaulted the woman. I called the woman and boy before me and after having questioned the woman as to what she had told Mrs. Dun and then I questioned about the usage she had received from the prisoner. She said she had gone into the kitchen after telling Mrs. Dun when the boy struck her two or three blows. She was on the ground, the boy kicked her several times that had not my daughter came in at the time considered she would have received much worse usage. I then asked her if he had been quarrelling with her she said no. I then questioned the boy. He said she had no business to tell about him and he implied he had given her worse, it served her right. The woman begged me not to take him to court for it as she had given him a good beating when she got up and she did not wish to get him punished. The prisoner has been flogged twice. He has received thirty and fifty lashes. Guilty of disorderly conduct. Sentenced to 75 lashes, half on the breach and half on the back.
