Details: John Quinn, free by servitude. Charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the streets. Chief Constable James Calvert states....This morning between the hours of twelve and one, John Quin came to my house in a state of intoxication to enquire by what authority I had put George Napier (a prisoner of the Crown) in the watch house. I replied I had confined him for being in the street at unseasonable hours. Quinn demanded that I would release Napier and on my refusing he began to abuse me. Constable Turvey duly approached when Quinn said he and Napier had been carrying goods belonging to their master Alexander Mcleod from their berth at the wharf and again pressed me to release Napier which I refused but said I would go to the wharf to see what things were in the boat. Quin accompanied me and on the way attempted to put a piece of money in my hand upon which suspecting that something was wrong, I directed Turvey to Take Quinn into custody. Quinn made some resistance but was eventually secured and conveyed to the watch house. I then directed Turvey to go and see that the boat and her lading was in a place of safety. A short time after I heard a crash at the watch house and on my proceeding towards it I saw Quinn running away down the hill and Napier about to make his escape. Turvey and one of the Military Guard pursued and overtook Quin and he was again lodged in the watch house. I examined the door of the watch house and found the lock forced and I have no doubt but that it was done by Quin. Quinn stating that he could produce witnesses to disprove the evidence of the Chief constable was remanded but on being brought on the 15th admitted the statement of the Chief Constable to be correct. Fined one dollar and discharged

There were prisoners of the Crown there drinking. It was time for them to be at their quarters and I called upon them to disperse. One of them expressing some reluctance to go, I insisted on his going immediately. In fact, I put him out. I did not do it violently. I was acting under the eye of the Chief Constable. Kenny was present and observed that if we attempted to meddle with him he would not submit to it. I told him to take care what he said or I would take him in custody.

Details: James Collins per ship Guildford, in government service, charged with theft....Henry Winchester, government servant to Surgeon George Brooks, states - On Thursday after noon last between the hours of three and four o clock I missed my watch; I had deposited it in my box which stood in the room where I slept at my masters house. The box was not locked but the lid merely shut down. I immediately reported my loss to my master. Some person must have got in at the kitchen window as I ascertained the back door had not been opened. I was confirmed in my opinion of an entry having been made at the window from finding that a bottle which had stood in the window had been knocked down. I also found dirt on the window from shoes and the print of a strange foot under the window; I also noticed the same impression of a foot at my sleeping room window which from its position seemed as if the person was peeping in at the window to see if anyone was within. From these circumstances, I thought the theft could not have been done by a stranger and having employed Collins to write a letter for me about a week since, my suspicion fell on him. The more so as on my going out on Thursday afternoon on an errand, I had called at his quarters to ask for a book I had lent him a short time previously. I was told he was not at home and I said I would call for it as I returned. I did not however call but returned home direct after having performed my errand. I had not been absent from my masters house more than a quarter of an hour and almost immediately on my return I missed my watch from the box. I then went back to Collins quarters and enquired again for him. I was told he had not been at home but I saw him at a distance going as it were from the house towards the beach. My watch was in the box at the time I went on the errand. Constable Thomas Dwyer states - On Thursday afternoon last, about four o clock I saw Collins going from Doctor Brooks back door along the yard and down the ledge of rocks to the beach. There is no thoroughfare through the yard to the beach. Constable William Turvey, states - When I took Collins in custody I also took the shoes which he had on his feet from him. I compared the shoes with the marks under the windows; they corresponded exactly; there are two peculiar nails in the sole of one of the shoes, the marks of which I could distinctly trace and which confirms me most decidedly in my opinion that the person who committed the robbery wore at the time the shoes I took from Collins. He denied having been in Doctor Brooks yard on the Thursday the theft was committed. The prisoner denies knowing anything of the robbery. Admits having been in Doctor Brooks yard at the time he was seen there by Dwyer. States that he went there to return the book which Winchester had been enquiring for. James Collins sentenced to 2 years in a penal settlement
