Details: John Mills per Marquis of Huntley, assigned to Rev. Threlkeld, charged with theft....Daniel Sullivan, Asia 1831, attached to the road party, being duly sworn says...I was discharged from the hospital on the 11 th last and got my pass to proceed to the gang. I went to Mr. Craig for a knife which the senior Wardsman had in charge. On making a search in the drawers, Mr. Craig could not find it. Having seen the room where I was lying sick, a knife very like mine and which the prisoner had sold to another patient. I told Mr. Craig, who ordered a search to be made. I told him it was of no use as I knew the knife was hidden. Before I was discharged I was present when the prisoner was offered by the patient alluded to have the knife returned for five pence and a loaf of bread. As he said there would be a row about it. When Mr. Brooks heard of the circumstances he sent me for a constable to take the prisoner into custody. On my returning the wardsman and the prisoner at the bar met me and they said the knife could not be found but offered me eight pence to hold my tongue. I have not got the knife since. Robert Gosling per Planter, assigned to Alexander Busby, and now a patient in the hospital being sworn...The prisoner at the bar offered me a knife for sale some time ago, which I bought for six pence. It was a sailors knife with a square top to the blade.....Mr. Robert Craig, Superintendent of the Hospital, testified...The prisoner at the bar has access to the dispensary every day, in a drawer in which room the knife was kept. He had no knife of his own to the best of my belief. Sullivan told me he had seen this knife in the prisoners possession. I asked the prisoner if he had taken the knife, he replied yes. I then ordered him never to come again into the dispensary as I would not have a thief there....No defence. John Mills acknowledged the theft and was sentenced to receive twenty five lashes

Details: John Sullivan per Asia, wardsman in charge of the Lower Hospital, charged with neglect of duty....George Brooks, surgeon testified....It is a rule of the Hospital that no patients walk about the yards without my written permission. Suspecting that the prisoner whose duty it was to prevent it, allowed the patients to walk about without such permission, I advised Constable Rouse during the hours of Divine worship to watch the yard of the Lower Hospital which he did, and found two of the patients walking about in the yard with their rugs about them, which I may observe is opposed to the medical treatment tends to facilitate escapes and is productive of other disorderly conduct.....Constable Rouse testified....On Sunday last, I received instructions to visit the Lower Hospital during divine service - another Constable and I went and I found one man in irons, a patient walking about and another out of irons, in conversation with five or six others at the corner near the Cook House and several more of the ironed gang men on the landing place of the upper verandah. As soon as they saw me they all went in to their respective wards. I did not see Sullivan about outside but in going into the stores I saw Sullivan with another man. He, Sullivan had a shoe in his hand and was trying a piece of leather to see if it would fit the sole. I reported the circumstances to Mr. Brooks. Prisoner s defence....The patients are allowed to go to the necessary in the day time when they require and the two patients mentioned above were so doing. I had gone into the store room for arrow root and sugar and had not been one minute there when the constable came....Guilty. Sentenced to three days in the cells
