James Feeney per Jane, assigned to William Dangar, charged with having mutton in his possession without being able to account for it and for disobedience of orders. William Dangar states - On last Sunday week, the prisoner lost a sheep from his flock; on the Monday afternoon the watchman told the overseer that the prisoner and the other shepherd had brought home a sheep on Sunday evening properly dressed. On Monday evening my brother and the sheep overseer went to the station and found some mutton boiling in a pot which they brought to me at another station; they had planted the remainder of the mutton which my brother could not find. The watchman came to me the same evening and told me that they had brought the mutton to him and desired him to cook it so that it might be ready for them in the morning. I told him to go back and do so but to keep a part of it that I might see it which he did and I saw it the following morning; he said that they got up and ate what he had cooked about four o clock in the morning; he had lost three or four sheep at different times and which I have reason to believe went in the same manner. When I asked what had become of them he said the blacks had speared them. The men had not had any mutton issued to their rations for about two weeks previous to the mutton being found in their hut; and their rations beef was in the hut at the time. I saw the mutton. I am not quite positive that they had not a half ration of mutton the week previous to that of which I am now speaking but this must have been long before consumed. Case remanded for further evidence
