Details:
Henry Smith per ship Mangles, under 7 year sentence, assigned to Col. Dumaresq, charged with breach of trust and pilfering. John Bartlett states - I am overseer to Col. Dumaresq., and the prisoner is employed as a tinman; on Wednesday last I gave the prisoner six sheets of tin to make pots and on Thursday he brought me back 6 quart pots. I asked him if he had any tin left he said he had part of a sheet. I told the constable to take charge of him until I went and searched his hut and in the prisoners berth under an old bag I found the tin articles now produced before the court but I could not find the part of a sheet of tin he said he had. I then sent for the prisoner and asked him where it was. He pointed to a plank laying on the ground and said it was under that. On the plank being lifted I found to sheets of tin. I asked him where the part of one was which he said he had. He replied that was all he had got. I took him before Mr. Wightman and he asked the prisoner what the things were made for he said for his own use. I have on other occasions weighed the tin issued to the prisoner - on one occasion I weighed him 6lbs and he brought back including the solder and rivets 4lbs in weight wrought up. The prisoner states in his defence that the overseer told him that if he behaved himself properly he would not be against his earning sixpence for himself if he could have the tin. And the articles now before the court is what he saved. I told the overseer I had some tin in the hut. I did not say how much. The Bench call upon the overseer Bartlett to state what permission was given to the prisoner to work for himself or to use any tin for his own purposes. The overseer replied I told him in the presence of Mr. Wightman that he was but a new hand in the country and to try and make the best of the tin and work it all up and I would not be against his doing a little job to earn himself a sixpence if he behaved himself. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to fifty lashes.
