Details: Henry Cooper per ship Mangles, assigned to the surveying department charged with insubordinate and riotous conduct in striking a fellow prisoner and provoking him to a fight and disrespectful language to Mr. Lowe. Patrick Shea, states - About six weeks, Cooper, myself and others belonging to the surveying department were lying together on the ground talking, when Cooper struck me without any provocation on my part. I told him if he repeated the blow I should endeavour to defend myself. On my getting on my legs he ran at me and again struck me. I put myself in a posture of defence but Cooper being a much more powerful man I was knocked down and severely hurt; my arm was much injured in falling, so much so that I am unable to do any work at present I stripped to fight but not til I had been struck twice. I should have sooner preferred a complaint but Mr. (Henry) Dangar being absent at Sydney at the time, I waited his return. Michael Hollingsworth states - I was present about six weeks ago when a quarrel took place between Cooper and Shea. Some joking words had passed between them as we lay on the grass, when Cooper suddenly struck Shea and made his mouth bleed. Cooper then got on his legs and stripped. As soon as Shea had recovered himself he told Cooper if he again struck him he would stick a knife into him upon which Cooper ran at him and again struck him; I saw Shea knocked down; Shea was hurt in the arm in consequence of a blow from Cooper; they had one round but Shea was unable to stand against Cooper. Mr. Robert Lowe states - Previous to Mr. Dangar proceeding to Sydney, he ordered the people belonging to his surveying department to consider me as his representative, but as my absence was also expected for a few days, Cooper during that time was to be entrusted with the care of the provisions and baggage; soon after Mr. Dangar went I also was away for a short time. On my return a general complaint was made by the rest of the party against Cooper for riotous conduct, but which was denied by Cooper Feeling satisfied there were some grounds for the complaints against him I told him he should no longer have charge of the provisions and baggage, when he replied that he did not care, that he did not care a damn for what Mr. Dangar or myself could do to him. The prisoner denies having made use of Mr. Dangars name; admits having spoken disrespectfully to Mr. Lowe; states that Shea gave him a great deal of provoking language and that on his threatening to stick him with a knife he was irritated and knocked him down a second time. Henry Cooper sentenced to 50 lashes for striking a fellow prisoner and provoking him to fight and 25 lashes for disrespectful language and insubordinate conduct towards Mr. Lowe
