Details: William Barnes and Patrick Powers, both in government service, charged with theft....Catherine Riley states - my cart was employed yesterday bringing wheat from the wharf to my house. I was informed a bag of it was missing; I informed the Chief Constable of it; I believe the wheat before the court to be mine. I can swear that the bag which contains it is my property. James Otway - Soldier in the Buffs, states - I was sentry yesterday at the wharf and saw a loaded cart pass along. I saw a bag full of something jolt from the rear of it - the driver of the cart went on without noticing his loss. Two men dressed in grey slop clothing picked up the bag, one carried it away, accompanied by the other, to the rear of the prisoners barracks where I lost sight of them. I cannot swear to the persons they were too far off; I new the cart belonged to Mrs. Riley and I sent to inform her of my having seen the bag taken away. Mr. George Muir, Chief Constable, states - On the information of Mrs. Riley, I sent to search the prisoners houses in the rear of the prisoners barracks and in a hut occupied by William Rouse the bag of wheat now before the court was found. Rouse was at this time at work on the wharf and had been so for some time previous. There was no person in the hut except a black native woman. On my asking Rouse if he knew anything of the bag of wheat he told me he had seen Powers pass to the rear of the hut with a bag on his back a short time before. Whilst I was making enquiries amongst the boats crews respecting the robbery, Barnes made his appearance in a ragged blue jacket, it neither fitted him nor did it belong to him and having seen him but a short time before in a dress of grey slop clothing, I thought he was, from his general bad character, and from the earnest manner in which he made enquiries about what was doing, likely to have been the companion of Powers; and I therefore took them both into custody. William Rouse states - I saw two men yesterday pass to the back part of my hut, one of them had a bag on his back. I cannot swear who the two men were as it was at such a distance, but I think one of them was like Powers. That was what I told Mr. Muir; not positively that it was him. The prisoners state they do not know anything about the wheat. Both men were acquitted

Details: William Barnes in the service of government at the Parsonage charged with neglect of duty in leaving his work at the Parsonage and improper language to the Rev. G.A. Middleton. The Rev. Middleton states....the prisoner works in my garden. It is of a soft sandy soil and easily worked. For some day past I have noticed the prisoner to be very idle and frequently absenting himself. Yesterday I remonstrated with him about it when he desired me to mark out his government task and he would do it. I told him task work had nothing to do with him and that it was his duty to work from sun rise to sun set upon which he made several insolent observations. He was very impertinent. The prisoner in his defence states that the Rev. Middleton having told him he did not do enough work he desired him to measure out his daily task and he would do it. Denies having used any improper language. Sentenced to 25 lashes and return to the parsonage.
