Details: Mary Kelly, free by servitude charged with being a public nuisance by keeping her house open at irregular hours; of being riotous and disorderly; and obstructing the military in the performance of their duty; and of being frequently in a state of intoxication. Corporal Otway of the 3rd or Buffs states - On Saturday night last I was going round with the relief and on passing the residence of Mrs. Kelly, she came across the street and laid hold of one of the Guard. She was intoxicated at the time; two or three times during the same night she interrupted the relief as I went round with them. I have seen her in the streets upon various occasions in a state of intoxication. About midnight of Saturday last, soon after her husband was sent to the watch house for striking the sentry, I saw her at the Kings Store. She was then addressing herself to the sentry there in very improper terms. When I relieved him at two o clock he reported to me that he had been much annoyed all the time he had been on his post by Mrs. Kelly. Patrick Keggan, soldier in the Buffs states - I was on guard on Saturday last, and was Sentry at the Stores between the hours of midnight and two o clock, during which time Mrs. Kelly repeatedly came to me to get some men away from her house. She was drunk at the time. I cleared her house of the men she complained of after which she went out at the back door and brought them in again and I sent them away a second time. She then went into her house and shortly after a stone was thrown in the direction in which I was - it struck against the paling. I did not see any one about when the stone was thrown. I think it must have been thrown by some person in the house. The accused makes no defence; throws herself on the mercy of the court. The charged against the accused being fully proved, she is ordered to find sureties to be of good behaviour for twelve months in default of which to be committed to the gaol at the House of Correction for three months. N.B. Security given on the 26 October 1826

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: Dennis Horrigan a bullock driver and Andrew McIntosh a stockman, both in government service, charged with cruelly to a government bullock which caused it death. William Eckford, Michael Wright, James Jackson, James Otway (soldier of the Buffs) gave evidence as to the treatment of the bullock.....I saw a loaded cart with two bullocks yoked to it, one a black bullock, the other a red one; the red bullock seemed to get along with considerable difficulty. When abreast of the Commissariat stores it stopped for more than quarter of an hour during which time the driver was beating it on the nose, legs, and different parts of the body without ceasing. The bullocks head hung down, the nose almost touching the ground; I remarked to two of my comrades standing near on the cruelty of the proceeding. In about a quarter of an hour, the bullocks again moved slowly on but opposite the prisoners barracks they again stopped, when similar blows were inflicted and some person came from the barracks and assisted the driver to get them along. I do not know the men. The driver was a young man, undersized. Jacob Bray and Samuel Mummery, soldiers in the Buffs, corroborate the testimony of James Otway. Dennis Horrigan here admits that he was the driver of the cart in question. Thomas Harrison watchman at the lumber yard, states - I did not particularly notice any of the working oxen when they were brought into the lumber yard previous to being driven out for the night but when McIntosh was taking them out he called my attention to one of them which was bleeding at the nose and mouth. James Crofts states - I was walking near the cedar ground and saw McIntosh driving the bullocks along at a great rate, he had a whip in one hand and a stick in the other with which he was urging them on, a red one particularly; It appeared to me they were driven much faster than there was any necessity for. Mr. Dixon, Superintendent states - I saw McIntosh driving the bullocks along as stated and called to him to desist but he either would not or did not hear me. James Cook, night stockman, states - On Monday night the bullock that died did not feed whilst his companion did very heartily they were yoked together as is the custom till they get used to the run. Dennis Horrigan and Andrew McIntosh remanded for investigation
