Charles Robinson per ship Katherine Stewart Forbes, assigned to Peter McIntyre, charge with neglect of duty and disobedience of orders. Mr. Alexander Campbell states - I am overseer to Peter McIntyre and the prisoner is employed as a bullock driver; yesterday morning I sent the man who is left in charge of the farm in my absence to go and tell the prisoner to go and help the watchman to get a bullock out of the paddock; the prisoner made no answer but one of the men in the hut said he will go; about ten minutes after I went to the hut myself; he was then getting up and began to bounce asking me the reason why he was to go more than any other of the men; I told him he had better say he would not go and I would send another man; he replied he knew a better way to do than say that; he then went and was about two hours away; I went in search of him and in coming home he told me he had not seen the watchman and he had been there; I met the watchman with the bullocks and asked him if he had seen the prisoner he said he had not that he was at the paddock about sunrise. The prisoner denies the charge. Case remanded

Charles Robinson per ship Katherine Stewart Forbes, assigned to Peter McIntyre, charged with attempting to steal. Joseph Tree states - I am overseer to Mr. McIntyre; yesterday afternoon I was giving a free man some tea and sugar out of the store and the prisoner came and asked me for soap and tobacco as I turned round to get some sugar my back was towards him when I turned round again I saw the prisoners hand between the door and door post where there was some thread hanging. I spoke to him and told him to take his hand away from the thread. He pulled it away suddenly and I found some of it dropped from the place where it was hanging. The door is hung upon hinges and when open is a considerable distance from the door post and he had to thrust his hand in between the door and door post to get at the thread. I did not see any thread in his hand. The prisoner states in his defence that the door was not open and that he did not touch the thread; and that he has been better than three years and a half with Mr. McIntyre and during that time he has never been punished; the overseer admits that while the prisoner was under his charge about a year and a half he behaved himself very well. The Bench considers the charge not proven and dismiss the case
