I went down to get a line and on going into one of the huts, I found all the men assembled in it. I asked for the line; they replied youll get no line here and you had better be off while you are safe. I went away but before I could get to the end of the veranda the prisoner Ward knocked me down. I sit on the ground when I was desired to fetch the men down that had been drinking when the prisoner painter went and got a stone and hove it and hit me in the face a severe blow and knocked my gums in. One of the men named McDonald said it was a shame to hit me with a stone. I got up and called for assistance, when the prisoner Deval knocked me down. I got away from him. I had not got more than ten or twelve yards from them when I met the overseer and Groom who heard the stones following me. Mr. Taylor states - I am overseer to Capt. Dumaresq and on Saturday last I heard a call of murder and went towards the place when I met Morrison coming be was all over blood and was not in a state of intoxication. I never had a quieter man upoin the farm and he stated to me that the 3 prisoners were the parties who ill used him.Charles McDonald states - Last Saturday evening I heard a stone or some other hard substance thrown at the plaintiff and said that it was a shame to strike him with anything; he was drunk and Isaw him fighting with Deval.
