Details: Bridget and Joseph Flemming charged with disorderly conduct and keeping a disorderly house.....Constable William Rouse testified...I have often had occasion to quell disturbances in their house - about four or five nights ago I was called on to quell a disturbance caused by a woman by the name of Randell. This took place in Flemming s house. I should have taken her (Randell) to the watch house at that time when her husband promised if I would not do so he would take her into the bush. An assigned servant of the A.A. Company some time ago was punished for being out of his barracks after hours. He was taken in the act of leaving Flemming s house at the time at the same time an assigned servant of Simon Kemp s was in the house. I have frequently been told of the irregular way in which Flemming keeps his house by the neighbours. Constable Smith informed me that Randell was making a disturbance in the house. I do not know how long Mr. Kemp s man was in Flemming s house. Mr. Kempt told me that if ever I caught him there to take him to the watch house and the he suspected he was there. Mrs. Flemming has been once convicted of disorderly conduct and sent to the gaol for two months. Flemming was once fined five shillings for drunkenness.....Constable Anthony testified....On Sunday eve about seven oclock I went with constable Rouse down the street. Bridget Flemming and her husband were having some disturbance before we came up. I thought by their manner she had been fighting the prisoner was standing at the front of Mrs. Cooper s door when she made use of some very bad expressions. I considered her the worse of the two and took her to the watch house. She was not drunk. I think Flemming had been drinking....Private Redman of the 4th regiment testified....I have heard noises at Flemming s house at unseasonable hours but they do not molest me in any other way. I never saw Mrs. Flemming drunk.....William Cooper testified....I have frequently seen Flemming in a state of drunkenness and beating his wife. They often quarrel in their own house and cause a disturbance to the neighbours. On Saturday night or Sunday morning last I heard a great disturbance in the direction of Flemmings house. I heard Mrs. Vickers voice frequently crying out watch. I cannot say that ever I saw Mr. Flemming drunk neither has Flemming ever interrupted me.....Mrs. Vickers testified....Says Flemming last Saturday night was drunk...I could get no rest from the noise he and some of his company made. He had several people in the house. I do not know who they were as I did not see any of them. I only saw one man a Soldier I think. It was between one and two oclock in the morning when they made a great noise by turning two of the men out of the house. Mrs. Flemming and another woman ran out of the house to get away from Flemming. I have never seen Mrs. Flemming drunk or disorderly. I have heard Mrs. Flemming make use of foul language...(signed Helen Vickers)...John Harrison being duly sworn says...On Saturday last about five oclock in the afternoon I saw Flemming. He asked me to come to his house. I asked him what for he said he had a woman in the house with a three days pass. Flemming had been drinking. (Signed John Harrison)...Mrs. Flemming was discharged, it appearing that her husband provoked her to behave disorderly. Joseph Flemming bound over to be of good behaviour in five and ten pounds for the period of 12 months

Details: William Cooper and William Pitt on the Church Establishment charged with refusing work and absenting themselves from the parsonage without leave. The Rev. Middleton in reference to the proceedings of the 28th November last concerning the prisoners states ....I provided them with lodging at the Parsonage and apportioned to each of them a daily moderate task at the same time informing them that if they conducted themselves well for two months they should be restored to the former indulgences allowed them. They have not behaved well in the interim, particularly Cooper whom I was under the necessity of bringing before this court in December last. This morning both prisoners claimed my promise although unworthy of it and because I did not immediately accede to their wishes they declared they would not do their church duty and also work at the parsonage and they left the parsonage and their work there in defiance of my orders. When they returned I sent for a constable who took them into custody. Cooper used very insolent language to me in his presence. William Turvey states - I was directed by Rev. Middleton to take Cooper and Pitt into custody whilst performing that duty they made several observations to Mr. Middleton. I did not distinctly hear the words, but Cooper s manner and gestures appeared to be highly disrespectful. The prisoners generally deny any intention of giving offence to Mr. Middleton, state that the work apportioned to them was more than they were able to perform and that they considered Mr. Middletons promise to them as binding and therefore thought themselves justified in leaving the parsonage as they did. Sentences: William Cooper to seven days solitary confinement and William Pitt and William Cooper to work with the road party two months each

Details: Thomas Atkinson in government service, charged with an assault on an infant with an attempt to commit rape. Elizabeth Hannell states - On Saturday morning last, I discovered on examining the linen of my little girl, that she was in a very bad state from a serious injury she had sustained. I asked her who had caused it. She denied telling me at first but in the course of the day by threats and promises she showed me the house where it happened. I immediately went there with the child and found three men. I asked her which of them it was. She pointed out Atkinson. I went away and got a constable and told him to take all three men. He did so as he was on his way to the watch house he stopped at my door and called me out and said it was no use to take them all to the watch house that the child had better say to him which of them had done it. I desired her to do so and she again pointed to Atkinson and said he was the man.....cont. Tuesday 7 February....William Cooper states - On Saturday last I was in the skilling adjoining to that where Atkinson lives, I saw the little girl crying. I told the child to go home, she had informed me that someone had been hurting her. I went to Atkinsons door, and said - If you have been attempting to injure the child, you deserve everything that is bad - I was induced to say this from an impression that he had been doing something wrong with the child - John Mentzlaer, constable corroborated the statement of Elizabeth Hannell in respect to the circumstances attending his taking Atkinson into custody. Atkinson denies the accusation, says he did not hear Cooper speak to him. Atkinson remanded for a full Bench

Details: Peter Egan per ship Recovery and John Coakley both in government service charged with endeavouring to sell a government bed tick and blanket which had been purloined from James Bull assigned servant of Captain John Pike. .....William Cooper states - Yesterday Egan came to me and offered a bed tick for sale; it had the Kings mark on it and I therefore declined the bargain; to the best of my opinion the bed now before the court is that which was offered to me. Chief Constable George Muir states - when the government servants who arrived in the Liverpool Packet on Sunday last landed, I took the numbers of their bedding. The bed tick No. 56 belonged to James Bull who came by the vessel. I was told yesterday by the overseer of the prisoner s barracks, that Coakley had just come down the river bringing a bed with him which he believed to have been stolen. I went and took possession of it. It consisted of a bed No. 56 and a blanket, the corner of the blanket where I suppose the number to have been is cut off. Egan states - I got the bed tick from Coakley and offered it for sale at his request. Coakley states - the late owner of the bed tick and blanket gave them to me up the river in exchange for some tobacco. Sentences: Peter Egan 50 lashes; John Coakley 25 lashes.
