I think he had a boil on his arm.......I have been five years on the island; I was transported for house robbery; I was innocent, thought I absconded with the men at the time; I am eighteen or nineteen years in the colony; partly my own fault and partly that of others; I have never had any indulgence; I have seen my errors; I was a sawyer by trade; I was a sawyer in this country

Details: William Vallance, free by servitude, charged with assaulting a contable in the execution of his duty and rescuing a prisoner. Witnesses Constable Francis Skinner deposed - On Monday night last about ten oclock I was patrolling the town with the Chief Constable. We heard a considerable uproar in the house occupied by William Vallance. We proceeded to the house and shortly after Vallances wife came out in the street in front of the house. She was very drunk and disorderly. She was very abusive. The Chief Constable ordered me to take her in charge and put her in the watch house. I accordingly took her in charge and immediately after doing so her husband William Vallance rushed up to me and asked me what I was going to do with her. I told him I was going to take her to the watch house as I was ordered. He then said No, be I will be damned if you do. On saying this he pushed me violently away and seizing the woman in his arms he ran off with her into his house and shut the door in my face. The push was so violet as to send me clear away from the prisoner. I was unable to take her again. After shutting the door William Vallance said he would split the skull with an axe of the first man who entered.....Chief Constable Patrick Maher gave evidence and lockup up keeper Charles Halkin also gave evidence. William Vallance committed to take his trial at the Quarter Sessons. Magistrate Edward Denny Day

Details: Enquiry into the cause of the death of Nicholas Connelly, free by servitude. William Learny, ticket of leave holder, sworn deposed - accompanied the deceased from his place on Peels River to assist him in driving some young horses belonging to Mr. Pringle. Yesterday morning we both breakfasted at Briggs Public House. We drank half a pint of brandy there and the deceased brought a bottle away with him of which he drank part twice or three times on the road. He was not sober when he came near his horse started off with him. He ran amongst the trees and when the deceased was again bringing him towards the road he fell from the horse. I think he fell on the back of his head. He never spoke a word afterwards. Surgeon John Goodwin sworn - I have examinedthe body of Nicholas Connelly and find a fracture on the left parietal bone. I think it was the cause of his death. Chief Constable Patrick Maher also examined. Magistrate Edward Denny Day stated - It appears from the foregoing statements that the deceased came by his death accidentally while in a state of intoxication. It also having been stated that the deceased was possessed of considerable property in stock at the time of his death the Registrar of the Supreme Court has been informed
