Anthony Hitchcock and John Poole indicted for maliciously shooting at John Larnach with intent to kill and murder him - The prisoner Hitchcock first addressed the Court. He said, the evidence of the witness Spark was utterly false. The treatment he had received at Castle Forbes was harsh in the extreme. He had been several years in the Colony, and while in the employment of the Crown had been so fortunate as to gain the esteem of his superiors, by whom he was placed in a situation of trust and responsibility. He had been employed in, and had charge of the Post-Office in Newcastle. For a knowledge of his general character there, he would call upon a gentleman in Court, whose testimony he was sure was proudly above comparison with any of the witnesses who had sworn against him. The gentleman alluded to. Ensign Zouch, one of the Jury, was here sworn, and stated that he had known Hitchcock for about six months, when at Newcastle Post-Office, from the situation of his quarters there, which were immediately over the prisoner's, he was enabled to state of him, that he was a quiet and well-behaved trustworthy man, and one not likely to be guilty of such an outrage as that for which he was now on his trial. Hitchcock went on to state, that it was to the unfortunate circumstance of his being assigned to the service of Major Mudie, he attributed all his subsequent misfortune and present unhappiness, he had been in the possession of an exemplary character before he went to Major Mudie, he had since been repeatedly flogged, by which, and by the unwholesome food he had subsisted on, his health had been ruined, and life itself rendered burthensome. He had been sentenced to an iron gang for an offence of which he knew nothing. The witnesses who swore against him made their depositions before the Magistrates in private. No confronting with the accused was permitted, nor was any defence called for. Whatever punishment was threatened by the master to his servant, was sure to be inflicted by the Bench, and this was the way in which justice was administered on the Hunter. If they refused to labour on a Sunday, flogging was threatened, and as surely given. Servants who had for months been due for tickets of leave, had been refused their indulgence, and, if at all importunate, a flogging bestowed rendered future application unnecessary. If the Court would but look at their bare backs, it would see that their statement was not exaggerated.
