William Coombs per ship Vittoria, assigned to Potter Macqueen, charged with leaving his station without permission. Mr. John McIntyre states - I am overseer on the Segenhoe estate and last night the prisoner came into the farm from the out station without permission and saying he wanted shoes and bedding which he is not due for...The prisoner states in his defence that he has asked his overseer several times for a bed and a pair of shoes which he has repeatedly refused him and that he has to walk twenty miles every week for his own and the shepherds rations and that he has not had a bed for the last two years and four months. The prisoner does not urge a claim for shoes, but having to walk so far every week with the mens rations requests a pair may be given him and he asked his overseers permission to go to the farm. He said you may do as you like but I shall be very ? if you get punished for you have done your duty well since you have been here; and that he applied to this Bench about five or six months ago for a bed. The Bench remanded the case until such time as the overseer can appear to show why he was not granted a pass, as it appears to the Bench he is due for a bed and accordingly direct that he shall be furnished with one.
