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

Details: John Morris per Asia, James Mills per Captain Cook and Robert Harlock per Captain Cook all assigned to James Reid Esq., charged with being out after hours...Constable William Rouse testified...On Saturday night at ten oclock I was going by the house of William Turvey and heard the voice of Morris. I knocked at the door. Turvey answered and asked who was there. I told him Rouse the Constable. He said he would not let me in and that he would not open the door for any body. We waited outside the door behind the paling in a few minutes after he opened the door and let the prisoners out. We pursued and took them as they were going towards their homes and put them in the watch house. All found guilty. Mills was sentenced to twenty lashes; Morris and Harlock were sentenced to thirty five lashes each. In consequence of the scourger Bray having absconded, the above punishment is remitted to twenty four hours in solitary confinement in the cells. Magistrate Thomas Gibson
