Patrick Garry per ship Jane, assigned to Thomas Potter Macqueen, charged with disobedience. Jerry Horrigan states - he is a sheep overseer at Segenhoe; the prisoner (Garry is under his directions; yesterday week he came to the deponent and requested a pass to go to the farm as he was unwell which the deponent refused because there was no man to take charge of his flock but deponent told him that he should let him go as soon as Mr. Dow returned home which would be in a few days ( or words to that effect). So the prisoner went away and left his flock which the deponent was obliged to take care of himself until four days after when he (Garry) returned. The distance is about 25 miles from the station to the farm. Dr. John Maccredie states - Garry came to him yesterday afternoon and upon being asked if he wished to be taken into hospital he said no, that he had come down to get some shoes; the prisoner has complaint upon him of long standing but was not in such a situation that a delay of a few days would materially effect him. The prisoner states in his defence - the overseer never said to him that he would let him go to the doctor in a few days or any words to that effect. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to sixty lashes, being the third conviction
