Details: Thomas Parry per Burrell 1830, prisoner for life assigned to the A.A. Company charged with buggery (violent rape). James Reed per Mangles 1837 deposed - I am assigned to Mr. Davis of Jerrys Plains and am employed at a sheep station of his at Currabubla Creek at Liverpool Plains as a shepherd. I was there on 22 September last and went out with my flock of sheep on that day about sun rise. A couple of hours before sun down I went to the creek. Two men came up. The prisoner at the bar was one of them. He was dressed in a blue plush waistcoat and blue regatta shirt, a pair of moleskin trowsers and wore a straw hat. He had a large quantity of hair on his face both whiskers and moustache. He had a pistol in his hand. He used great violence against me and caused me to bleed a great deal. I was unable to turn from my bed for ten days. A man called Richard Shea, another shepherd found me and helped me home. The man who abused me had an anchor on his arm. The other man watched from the bank but did not abuse me. I have heard people call him sailor Bill. I believe his right name is Faulkner. James Nunn per Portland 1832, I am assigned servant to Mr. Davis and employed as hutkeeper and watchman at his station near Currabubla. The boy Reed when he was bought in by Richard Shea was in a dreadful state. We had to remain up with him all night. He said he would never go with a flock of sheep to the waterhole again at that station. The next morning I went and reported what happened at the station. The prisoner Thomas Parry was committed for trial. Magistrate Edward D. Day

Details: The prisoner Powell again brought forward on the charge of assaulting the constable Joseph Williamson in the execution of his duty. Joseph Williamson states - I am a farm constable on the Segenhoe Estate - I was directed to proceed and take in charge the prisoner for having lost his sheep; after making him my prisoner he refused to go with me; when I went to handcuff him it became necessary as I had to take several others in custody, he sprang upon me and endeavoured to take my pistol out of my hand. I then struck him on the head with my whip when he stooped down and took up the two stones no shown in court - I was obliged to leave him that night as he refused to come with me. His overseer Horrigan was bye. The following morning I brought him down with another prisoner. They both refused to be handcuffed. Jeremiah Horrigan states - I was present when Williamson went to take the prisoner Powell in custody. I saw the prisoner seize hold of Williamson and went up to him in a threatening manner. I saw Williamson strike him with his whip when the prisoner took up the stones to throw at Williamson and refused to go with him saying he had done his days work and would not do any more. I told the prisoner to go quietly but he refused to be handcuffed or to go at all. The prisoner in his defence says he was first struck by Williamson; he told him he would be at his hut and go with him when he would return past in the morning. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentenced him to 35 lashes after the punishment already ordered on the day.
