Details:
John Finn per ship Larkins, assigned to Donald McIntyre, charged with neglect of duty. Joseph Free states - I am overseer to Mr. McIntyre and the prisoner is employed as a shepherd; on last Sunday morning I went to the station where the prisoner lives and found his sheep in the hurdles about an hour and a half after sunrise. I went to the hut and found him there along with the other shepherd and watchman. I asked him why his sheep were not out of the hurdles; he said he had been out looking for the cows. The prisoner states in his defence that the cows had got away from the station and the watchman was unable to go after them and requested me to do so. I went about an hour before sunrise and had just returned to get some breakfast and take my sheep out when the overseer came to the station. He asked me why the sheep were not out. I told him. I had been looking for the cows. The Bench find the prisoner guilty of disobedience but under the circumstances of the case it being his first offence during a period of 3 years and 6 months with one master, admonish him to be more careful in future, and if comes before this Bench again he will be severely dealt with
