Proceedings resumed relative to the five prisoners from Port Stephens - Patrick Hoy, Samuel Harris, Edward Flynn, William Ward and John Austin - Alexander Green states - I am a constable at Port Stephens. I was sent by Mr. John Dawson to appear against the prisoners at this place if necessary, for absenting themselves. I saw the prisoners at work at Port Stephens on the 11th instant. On the following day they were missed from the settlement. I am not positive as to their task but I believe 16 rod to be the general task work per day at Port Stephens. Some men lately arrived there from Sydney have done the task to within about two rod. I have frequently heard the prisoners complain they could not do their task. If it is not performed they are generally punished on the Monday following for not completing it. There is not any charge against the prisoners that I am aware of except for running away. Mr. Joseph Pennington states - I have been at Port Stephens on the ground where I understand the prisoners were at task work but not since they commenced working on it. The usual task there is 18 rods per man per day. It is hard work certainly, but can be done. Their rations are superior to those usually given to Government servants. Thirteen rod per day would be hard work for a man on a government ration. But these men might do the task on the ration allowed them. This is my opinion. Prisoners remanded for further hearing

The five convicts absentees from Port Stephens ( Patrick Hoy, Samuel Harris, Edward Flynn, William Ward and John Austin) having been brought before the court, it is ordered that they be returned to their assignment at Port Stephens under a proper escort and that a letter to the following effect be forwarded with them, addressed to Robert Dawson at that station.....Sir, The five convicts having been brought before us charged with the offence of having absconded from the Australian Agricultural Company s establishment at Port Stephens, and having attentively heard and weighed what they severally had to urge in their defence, and taken into consideration the task allotted to them, as testified in the affidavit of overseer McKeenan, find that certain circumstances connected with such task so far operate in their favour, as to induce us on the present occasion to allow the length of time they have been in confinement to be a sufficient punishment; they are therefore returned under a proper escort to your establishment. They have been duly warned of the certainty of corporal punishment being awarded should they at a future period again absent themselves without a written permission from a duly authorised person. We beg leave to hand you a Bench notice, which we shall feel obliged by your giving the utmost publicity to amongst those concerned. We have the honor to be Sir, Your obedient servants (Francis Allman, E.C. Close, George Brooks)....Bench Notice - Should any convict servant assigned to the Australian Agricultural Company be found at large in any of the districts of Hunters River on any pretence whatever without a written permission from a duly authorised person, the convict so found will be brought before the nearest Bench of Magistrates and punished as a runaway.
