Charles Dix, per ship Isabella, assigned to John Bingle, charged with leaving his station without permission. John Bingle states that about three weeks ago the prisoner came down from his station without permission stating that he wanted a shirt when he had been furnished with a shirt only two months before and likewise a pair of trousers and subsequently a pair of shoes and a frock. The prisoner came into my service about the month of May. The prisoner reported himself sick to the sheep overseer and said that a cart must go up to the station for him.....John Tuckey, states - I am sheep overseer to Mr. John Bingle. The prisoner left his station without permission about a month ago, about a fortnight ago when I was at the station he reported himself so sick that it was necessary a cart should go up and bring him down. I then told him to come down, he said he could not walk. I then said he must wait until a dray could bring him. He however, did not wait but started by himself and came the first day as far as Mr Coxens, not less than ten miles, and the next day came home to the farm....John Wiseman, constable stated that on Saturday last after being at court the prisoner went home the same day Mr. Bingle ordered me to take the prisoner in charge and desired me to observe how he walked. I did so, he kept up with me at the rate of three miles an hour and except that he walked with his legs wide apart, he walked as well as I could. The prisoner in his defence states he has been twice out for the gravel and is still affected with that complaint and that is the reason he cannot work.....The Bench are of opinion that he disobeyed orders by leaving his station without permission and although he had the complaint of which he complains, not to such an extent as he states. The Bench find Charles Dix guilty and sentence him to 14 days solitary confinement in the cells at Newcastle and to be returned to his master, being in the first instance taken to the surgeon for examination

Dumaresq s estate when the prisoner came out of the corn and came into the said hut. I asked him if he had been to Mr. Buttons and he told me he had not. I asked him where he had been and he said it was no business of mine. I asked him if he had seen anything of Mr. Camerons man, he said he saw him one evening standing against the stockyard when he was milking the cow. I told him I wished I could see him. He told me he would go home and grind him a peck of wheat and give him 7lbs of meat and send him over the mountain sooner than I should see him. He told me when I went for him yesterday that he had seen Mr. Camerons man go past his hut door last Sunday evening....The prisoner states in his defence that on his return from the station he went to Capt. Dumaresqs overseer and asked for Robert Saltwell.
