Macqueen, charged with neglect of duty....Jeremiah Horrigan states - I am sheep overseer on the Segenhoe Estate; the prisoner is employed as a shepherd; on Tuesday week he lost forty three and last Friday week he lost eighty one of his flock and gave me a great deal of trouble to find them. He gave me no reason for having lost the sheep but that he had done his best to keep them together although he was upon his own run.

The prisoner stood at the hut door while the watchman counted them into the yard - during this time I went and asked the prisoner to come out and attend to his duties but he refused...The prisoner denies having been in company with another shepherd but admits the second part of the charge.

Details: Edward Potto per ship Lady Feversham, assigned to Thomas Potter Macqueen, charged with neglect of duty.....Jeremiah states - I am sheep overseer on the Segenhoe Estate; the prisoner is employed as a shepherd; Last Wednesday I found him in company with Richard Burnett contrary to orders and the following day I found the prisoners flock. I called out for the prisoner but could get no answer - a shepherd with another flock at some distance answered. I then took the prisoners flock and handed them over to the watchman of the nearest lambing station. I then proceeded to another station and saw the prisoner coming from it. I asked him what brought him there - he said I told him to go in that direction. I had done no such thing. On Friday last I found him in the hut with the other men. I ordered him out with his flock which he refused to do; and last Saturday he came to me and gave up his flock and refused to take them out; when the other shepherds had gone out I ordered him out; he said he would not go out until he thought proper; and on my urging him to go he took a stick and threatened me. I put him outside of the hut but he still continued using violent language towards me; he then went into the bush and was absent about three hours. I was obliged to take his flock and give it in charge of another person. The prisoner admits the whole facts. The Bench find the prisoner Edward Potto guilty and sentence him to receive fifty lashes

Details: Joseph Parr, per Prince Regent, assigned to Thomas Potter Macqueen, charged with absenting himself without leave and neglect of duty. Jeremiah Horrigan states - I am sheep overseer at Segenhoe and the prisoner is employed as a watchman; last Saturday week I found him absent from his station - I asked him where he had been - he said that he was not absent - I then asked him if he had counted in the sheep - he said he had not. I asked him who was to be answerable for the things at the station if it should be robbed during his absence. He said he did not care if it was robbed. He was very abusive and threatened to beat me and said he would procure others to assist. The prisoner states in his defence that he was looking for his cows and the reason he did not count in the sheep was that he slept rather too long. He denies having abused or threatened his overseer.

Details: Patrick Garry per ship Jane, assigned to Thomas Potter Macqueen, charged with neglect of duty and disobedience. Jeremiah Horrigan states - I am sheep overseer at Segenhoe and the prisoner is employed as a shepherd; on Thursday morning last he lost his flock of sheep and did not report it to me until the evening. I asked him how he came to lose them; he said that he lost sight of the about half an hour after he left the station. I went after them the following day and found 12 dead and 25 wounded by native dogs and seven are still missing. I brought the rest of them home to the station and the watchman desired the prisoner to take care of them which he refused to do; and the following day I told him myself to take care of them for two days until I got another man to look after them but he refused to do so; I then gave him a pass to got to the farm. The accompanying certificate from Dr. Macrredie stating the prisoners ability of following his occupation as shepherd was handed to the bench.......I hereby certify that Patrick Geary is capable of following his occupation as a shepherd and that it was unnecessary for hi to leave his station on the plea of indisposition - signed John Macredie M.D.

Details: Joseph Parr per ship Prince Regent, assigned to Thomas Potter Macqueen, charged with disobedience and abusive language and leaving his station without leave. Jeremiah Horrigan states - I am sheep overseer at Segenhoe; the prisoner is employed as a watchman and about the 30 of May last he left his station without permission and went to the farm. Before he left the station he gave me a great deal of abuse - calling me a perjured villain etc., I ordered him while at the station to put the calves into the calf pen which he refused to do. I told him I would make him do it and he said he would not. I have taken him to court once before for the same things. I then ordered him to charge of a flock of sheep which he refused. The prisoner states in his defence that when he was ordered to take charge of the sheep he was unable to do so from a severe cold for which he has since been treated by the doctor and besides the sight of his remaining eye would also disqualify him it being imperfect from taking charge of sheep and which he told the overseer was his reason for refusing- denies calling his overseer a perjurer. The Bench admitting that the prisoners illness might prevent his performing his duty and acquit him of that part of the charge but find him guilty of leaving his station without leave and making use of abusive language to his overseer and referring to a former instance when brought before this court about five weeks ago, wherein it appears he had threatened the prosecutor the Bench sentence him fifty lashes

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.
