Details: James Howard, in government service charged with improperly and without orders appropriating government property. Mr. William Eckford states - On Tuesday evening McIntosh the stockman came to me to report the death of one of the government working oxen. I immediately went with him and found the animal as stated. He had dropt down at low water mark and was afloat when I saw him. I got the animal hauled off the beach and directed the stockman to get him skinned the next morning. I did not give any orders about the carcase. The following morning when I went to look at it, part of it had been removed - some of it I found in the scrub at a little distance.....Michael Wright states - I was ordered yesterday to skin a bullock which had died on Tuesday evening. I took the hide and entrails to Captain Foley for his inspection. I was afterwards directed by Howard (the superintendent clerk) to go with a cart to fetch the carcase. I afterwards assisted to cut it up and it was sold and distributed about the town. William Jones states - I was driving an empty cart towards the coal mines when Howard told me it was Captain Foleys orders for me to go with it and bring the carcase of the bullock into the town which I did. David Meffan assistant superintendent states - I asked Howard under whose authority he has taken the cart to bring the carcase into the town, he replied by that of Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon Superintendent denies having either given orders or permission to Howard to use the cart for the purposes stated. The prisoner states - I did not think I was acting wrong.

Details: William White, in government service, charged with insolent language to Serjeant Grey of the Buffs. Serjeant Grey being sworn - On Friday morning I went to the mines to hasten the supply of coals for the military barracks. The prisoner, who is a bullock driver was at a little distance with his cart. I called to him to clear his cart and come for a load of coals which he refused to do. On my insisting that he should, he said he would not unless ordered by the superintendent. I told him my order to him was sufficient. On which he replied he did not care a damn for my order. The prisoner states in his defence - I was ordered by the superintendent not to draw any coals on Friday last, but to tend upon the street party with stones. I did not think myself at liberty to disobey my orders. I did not use insolent language to the Serjeant. William White sentenced to solitary confinement for one week

Details: Henry Smith per ship Almorah, in service to George Brooks, charged with stealing part of the produce of his master s farm particularly a bag of potatoes...George Wood, Hospital Gardener, being duly sworn, states - on the Saturday morning before Christmas Day I assisted Smith to take a bag of potatoes from the hut on Mr. Brooks farm to the boat for the purpose of its being conveyed to Mr. Brooks house at Newcastle. There was a small bag which held about thirty pounds put into the large bag, the contents of which might then in the whole be about 100lb. That is to say 30lb in the smaller bag and 70lb in the large one; they were not weighed but I estimate them at above that quantity. When I returned to Newcastle between twelve and one o clock of the same Saturday night, Mr. Brooks, servant Henry Winchester told me that only a small bag of potatoes had been delivered by Smith at his Masters. I am certain there were potatoes in both bags. I assisted to fill them. Edward Hostead, stockman in the service of E.C. Close states - I recollect coming to Newcastle in a boat in company with Smith on the Saturday before Christmas. Smith had a large bag of potatoes with hi, within which was also a smaller bag contaiing potatoes. I think that both the bags might have held about a hundred weight. I saw a person of the name of Riley take the small bag to convey to Mr. Brooks house, but I dont know what became of the large bag and its contents . Bernard Riley states - I remember on the Saturday before Christmas having brought from the wharf a small bag of potatoes for Smith. I only carried the bag as far as Serjeant Greys quarters when Smith took it from me and proceeded with it towards Mr. Brooks house. The bag contained to the best of my opinion between thirty and forty pounds weight. I also observed a bag of potatoes in the boat but did not see it taken out. I cannot say if the bag carried as far as Serjeant Greys was that which I saw in the boat. I was not present when it was taken out. Henry Winchester in the service of George Brooks, states - On the Saturday before Christmas Henry Smith brought a small bag of potatoes from my master s farm to the house, it contained about twenty or thirty pounds - the bag was not full. Serjeant Grey of the 3rd regt of Buffs states - I have bought from the prisoner two dozen eggs at one time and some butter at another, I never bought anything else from him. I understood from him that the eggs and butter were the property of John Thomas. I was certain the butter belonged to Thomas as it was in a keg which I had sold to him. and having bargained with Thomas for his eggs at certain sum and the prisoner having told me that the eggs and butter were sold by him on account of Thomas, I did not doubt but that such was the case. John Thomas (free) states - I once entrusted the prisoner to dispose of some butter for me. I was ill at the time and I thought I might do so with safety as he appeared to be acting as Mr. Brooks overseer and had on former occasions behaved towards me with much civility, but I never gave him any eggs to dispose of. He did not bring me the money for which he sold the butter, he told me he had been robbed of it. In answer to a question from the prisoner - I never gave him an egg to sell in my life. I might have given him some to eat when he came to my house. John Mayo states - A day or two before Christmas, Smith sold me about 30lb potatoes; they were not weighed. I gave him 3 shillings for them. He had told me some moths previous that his master allowed him one fourth to dispose of and that he had a piece of garden ground the produce of which he was allowed for himself, the potatoes were in a bag that would hold about one hundred weight. George Brooks states - Within two months after maize harvest last year, the prisoner admitted that he had sold a bag of Corn off the farm, but said it was for my benefit. I told him and repeated it that he was not to bring anything from the farm to the town without my knowledge.. I recollect his reply was - Very well Sir - If he has sold any part of the produce since it is in contradiction to my injunctions. It is only this morning that I found out that the prisoner had sold potatoes to John Mayo. I have fowls on the farm and expect to be occasionally supplied with eggs. The prisoner states in his defence I did not understand from my Master that I was not to dispose of the produce of the farm, or bring it into town, or I should not have done so. I admit having sold the potatoes to Mayo, but never sold any eggs belonging to Mr. Brooks. Those I sold to Serjeant Grey were given to me by John Thomas to dispose of. I have also sold to John Thomas a half hundred weight of potatoes and thirty pounds of flour. I considered the flour to have been my own property. Sentenced to Hard labour in an iron gang for 12 months

Details: John Kelly, constable and pound keeper, charged with assaulting a soldier of H.M. 3rd regiment of Buffs whilst on his post and in the execution of his duty. James Groom, soldier in the Buffs states - On Saturday night the 21st instant I was sentry at the Kings stores between ten and eleven o clock the prisoner came to his house which is within twenty yards of the store. I saw him go in and about half an hour after I heard a great noise in the house. I did not immediately interfere expecting some of the police might be soon coming to whom it was my intention to report the disturbance, but none appearing for some time, I went to the door and called on the people inside to be quiet upon which Kelly came out and enquired if my post was not inside the paling and what business I had there - I replied by asking him if he was not a constable he said he was. I told him that instead of preserving the peace he was breaking it on which he said he would go in and make them desist. As I turned round to go away Kelly seized me by my belt and struck me a blow over my left eye. I then called for the watch who came and the Corporal with the Relief came nearly about the same time. Corporal James Otway of the Buffs being sworn states - I was marching the relief round on Saturday night last about 12 o clock. On approaching the house where Kelly resides, I saw him in charge of Private James Groom who was sentry on the stores. Some Constables were also present. Groom reported to me that Kelly had struck him upon which I desired the constables to take him into custody. Kelly in his defence attributes the disturbance to have arisen in consequence of his wife s bad conduct. John Kelly dismissed from his situation as constable and pound keeper.
