Details: James Howard, in government service charged with improperly and without orders appropriating government property. Mr. William Eckford states - On Tuesday evening McIntosh the stockman came to me to report the death of one of the government working oxen. I immediately went with him and found the animal as stated. He had dropt down at low water mark and was afloat when I saw him. I got the animal hauled off the beach and directed the stockman to get him skinned the next morning. I did not give any orders about the carcase. The following morning when I went to look at it, part of it had been removed - some of it I found in the scrub at a little distance.....Michael Wright states - I was ordered yesterday to skin a bullock which had died on Tuesday evening. I took the hide and entrails to Captain Foley for his inspection. I was afterwards directed by Howard (the superintendent clerk) to go with a cart to fetch the carcase. I afterwards assisted to cut it up and it was sold and distributed about the town. William Jones states - I was driving an empty cart towards the coal mines when Howard told me it was Captain Foleys orders for me to go with it and bring the carcase of the bullock into the town which I did. David Meffan assistant superintendent states - I asked Howard under whose authority he has taken the cart to bring the carcase into the town, he replied by that of Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon Superintendent denies having either given orders or permission to Howard to use the cart for the purposes stated. The prisoner states - I did not think I was acting wrong. James Howard sentenced to 25 lashes.
