Details: John Rolestone, in service to Joseph Pennington charged with insolent conduct and refusing work upon various occasions. Andrew Brennan, overseer at Joseph Penningtons farm, states my master is absent at Port Stephens and has left me in charge of the farm under my mistresses orders. Our team of bullocks has been let out to Mr. Maughan to cart some articles from the wreck of the Australia brig and Rolestone was employed as bullock driver. On Friday last he returned to the farm alone and stated that the bullocks were ill used by Mr. Maughan which caused his return, he then said he did not choose to work off the farm as it was contrary to regulations, and shortly after he said he would not work for Mr. Pennington any where and insisted upon coming to Newcastle, upon which my mistress directed me to proceed with him according to his desire and to lodge him in the watch house which was done. Mr. J. T. Maughan, a free settler, states - I am concerned in getting the wreck of the Brig Australia off the beach, and Mr. Penningtons team of bullocks were hired to assist. The prisoner had the immediate care of them; I soon noticed that he was very idle and neglectful of his charge and I was under the necessity of looking very closely after him for as to prevent his starving the animals by keeping them tethered to one spot; about the middle of last week some difficulty arose in working the bullocks in consequence of the bullock bows being broken and labour was suspended until a supply could be obtained from Newcastle. Mr. Penningtons bullocks were accordingly unyoked and seeing the prisoner about to let them go without tethering them I called to him to put them on the tether. He replied there was no necessity and let them loose notwithstanding I forbad him. The bullocks immediately started away and one of them has not yet been recovered. The prisoner with others went in pursuit of them for a short distance but returned without success. Having afterwards been informed that the bullock now missing was about a mile off I desired the prisoner to go and drive it in. He replied he would be damned if he did, and persisted in refusing, stating he had no right to obey any orders but those of his master. Upon which I told him as he would not obey my orders he had better return to his masters farm. He said he had no intention of travelling through the bush and would go to Newcastle which he did, leaving the bullocks for me to look after. The prisoner states - that for some time past he has not been properly rationed and that he has not any blanket but admits that since the present overseer has had charge which was the beginning of May he had no reason to complain. Admits that he had a blanket from his master when first in his service but that he lost it when he took to the bush in January 1825. In consequence of the admitted irregularity in the issue of provisions to Mr. Penningtons servants, the court admonished the prisoner to a better line of conduct in future and ordered him to return to his masters service
