John Wall alias Johnstone per ship Waterloo, assigned to Mr. Cox, exchanged with Mr. Buchanan for the services of Joseph Merritt. Charged with harbouring Col. Dumaresq s servants and having spirits in his possession....John Bartlett states - I heard four of my masters servants were at Mr. Buchanan s and I went in search of them and found them there drunk. But the prisoner was not drunk though he was lazing alongside of one of them - at this time the prisoner was in charge of Mr. Buchanan s property and a free man William Mossey was in the hut at the time he was laying on a stretcher which behind the door but I could not say he was drunk. This was about eleven o clock in the morning last Wednesday week. And one of the party did not return home until after sundown and they appeared to have been fighting. Wall states that the men came to Mr. Buchanan s place on Tuesday night drunk and insisted upon his letting them into the hut - as they wanted to see Mossey. I told them Mossey was not in - but they said they would break open the door if I did not let them in - I opened the door and they came in with a quart pot in which they said they had some rum - when they told me they had spirits, I put them outside and shut the door - but they kept hammering at it until I was obliged to get up and let them in - I was alone and no men to protect the place or I should have gone and acquainted the farm constable - they told me Mossey had given them the spirits and there was no spirits drunk in the hut. I call upon William Mossey to prove the correctness of my statement....William Mossey being called states - I met three of Col. Dumaresq s servants on the road. I gave one of them, Kenny, a bottle rum which they drank in my presence. Kenny then asked me for another and said he would return it in kind. I gave it to him. I lent them a quart pot and I know nothing more and I went to Mr. Buchanan s next day about 12 o clock, but I saw no men there. He denies having been at Mr. Buchanan s previously drinking with Col. Dumaresq s servants. Peter McVeay states - I am overseer to Mr. Buchanan and on Wednesday week last when I returned home I went into the hut with John Bartlett but did not see William Mossey in the hut....One of my men was there and four of Col. Dumaresq s laying in the hut together with Wall and Henry Shoulder who was laying behind the door and Barret was laying outside, and I did not see Mossey until next day about 12 o clock when I engaged him to go along with Wall to Goulburn River to collect cattle. The case remanded till next court day and William Mossey charged with illicitly selling spirits admitted on his own recognizance to appear whenever required
