Samuel Hart in government service, charged with a violent assault on James Collins, deputy overseer. James Collins states - I have charge of the gaol gang to which Hart belongs. On Friday morning last I was taking them out to work. Hart on our way from the gaol to the wharf asked me to let him remain behind. I told him I could not permit it. He pressed me to let him stop and on my refusing he loitered behind and coming up to me struck me three or four blows. He knocked me down and jumped upon me. Knowing that a constable was near I called for assistance upon which Hart left me and I got on my legs as the constable came up. Charles Wood, constable and turnkey at the gaol states...I was returning from the town to the gaol and passed the gaol gang going out to work; a few minutes after I heard Collins calling for assistance. I hastened to the spot and as I came in sight, I saw him rising from the ground and Hart walking away from him; Collins told me he had been beat and knocked down by Hart and desired me to take him in custody which I immediately did. The prisoner does not deny the statement made by Collins. Says he shall be absolutely free the beginning of next month and therefore considered himself entitled to a little liberty. Samuel Hart sentenced to a penal settlement for the remainder of his sentence at the expiration of which his sentence to be extended one year
