Details:
James Tracey and William Moore, town constables and Thomas Caldwell watch man at the Police Office charged (Tracey and Moore) with drunkenness and indecorous conduct at the Police Office and general neglect of duty. Caldwell charged with neglect of duty by suffering Tracey and Moore to conduct themselves improperly without interfering. The Sentry at the Barrack gate adjoining the Police Office, stated between the hours of ten and eleven olcock last night I heard a noise at the Police Office. I went thither and ascertained that Tracey and Moore were the persons making the disturbance. They were trying to gain admittance and the lady spoke to me out at the window desiring me to take them away. Caldwell was with them but he did not attempt to prevent their entrance. Tracey and Moore were drunk. I got a file of the guard and they were marched away. The Corporal of the guard states...On its being reported to me by the Sentry at the Barrack Gate that two constables were behaving outrageously at the Police Office, I took a file of men thither. I found Tracey and Moore at the door very noisy. They were drunk and I conveyed them to a place of security for the night. Tracey in his defence states - I was sent to the Police Office by Marriott for some money which Moore owed him. Moore admits being in a state of intoxication and throws himself on the mercy of the court. Sentence: James Tracey and William Moore dismissed from their situations as constables and to receive fifty lashes each and work at hard labour. Thomas Caldwell sentenced to the road gang

Patrick McNally in the service of government charged with theft. The overseer of the road party James Gallaghan states...On Saturday last I gave the prisoner charge of a portion of the provisions belonging to the party to carry up from the boat to the hut. On the way the prisoner contrived to disappear from the other men who were with him and when he afterwards came to the hut, I discovered that the bag in which he carried the provisions had been untied and that some of the meat was missing; I had securely tied the bag myself before giving it to him, but when he came to the hut the string of it was loose. I have had reason on former occasions to suspect the prisoner of stealing provisions when entrusted to him to carry. Thomas Caldwell belonging to the road party states, I saw the bag of provisions securely tied and given by the overseer to the prisoners to carry from the boat to the hut. On the way the prisoner left us and when he re-joined us at the hut the overseer noticed the fastening of the bag to have been untied and on examining it he missed his own mess of meat which I know had been put in the bag. The prisoner denies the accusation which he says arises from spite. Sentenced to 50 lashes and returned to the road party
