Patrick Kelly per ship Captain Cook, assigned to Thomas Bell Esq., charged with insolence and threatening language. Samuel Owens states - I am overseer to Mr. Bell and on Thursday night last I went to the station where the prisoner is employed as a shepherd. I was standing at the hurdles when the prisoner came to me with a piece of beef in his hand and asked me how it was I had not brought the cows out - before I had time to answer him he said this is bloody pretty meat and threw it down among the sheep dung. I told him to pick it up again and if he thought it was not good I would give him a pass to the Bench - on the following night as I was riding home from the station, he asked me when I was going to give him a bed. I told him when he got a civil tongue. He began to abuse me and said he did not care a bugger about going to court. I did not intend to bring him to court but he was so insolent I was obliged to do so. The rest of the men received meat from the same bullock and the same cask and not a single complaint has been made....The prisoner states nothing his defence to in extenuation of his crime. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to receive thirty lashes
