Details:
Thomas Morgan per ship Prince Regent, assigned to John Bingle, charged with neglect of duty and disobedience. John Bingle states - that upon the prisoner complaining that he was unwell, he was detained at the farm to be sent to Newcastle to see Dr. Brooks. That when I ordered him to assist in taking the teams down the previous evening to their leaving at this time he was working on the farm. Next morning he was sick and would not go and Monday before Xmas Day I sent him some sickles to take up to the farm and to go as watchman over the sheep and two days after I found he had not gone. He came that morning to go to his station but I would not let him, he then shammed sick and would do nothing. I then sent him to the lock up where he has been ever since. Thomas Dunn, lockup keeper states that last Wednesday was a week I received the prisoner into my charge, he was then walking a little lame I asked if he was unwell he said he had been but was getting better, and since h has been in my charge he has done several little jobs from which I should say he was properly able to do the duties of a watchman. The prisoner states in his defence that he was not able to go with the teams and that he was not able to watch sheep. The Bench is of the opinion that the prisoner is perfectly culpable in not proceeding with the teams to Newcastle, which afforded him an eligible opportunity of obtaining medical advice and of procuring a truss to relieve the rupture of which he complains and the circumstances of under which he refused to go to work are very suspicious thought no amounting to a proof. The Bench find Thomas Morgan guilty and sentence him to receive 25 lashes.

Joseph Parr, per Prince Regent, assigned to Thomas Potter Macqueen, charged with absenting himself without leave and neglect of duty. Jeremiah Horrigan states - I am sheep overseer at Segenhoe and the prisoner is employed as a watchman; last Saturday week I found him absent from his station - I asked him where he had been - he said that he was not absent - I then asked him if he had counted in the sheep - he said he had not. I asked him who was to be answerable for the things at the station if it should be robbed during his absence. He said he did not care if it was robbed. He was very abusive and threatened to beat me and said he would procure others to assist. The prisoner states in his defence that he was looking for his cows and the reason he did not count in the sheep was that he slept rather too long. He denies having abused or threatened his overseer. The Bench find the prisoner guilty of neglect of duty and sentence him to thirty lashes. Punishment remitted at the intercession of his master

Details:
Joseph Parr per ship Prince Regent, assigned to Thomas Potter Macqueen, charged with disobedience and abusive language and leaving his station without leave. Jeremiah Horrigan states - I am sheep overseer at Segenhoe; the prisoner is employed as a watchman and about the 30 of May last he left his station without permission and went to the farm. Before he left the station he gave me a great deal of abuse - calling me a perjured villain etc., I ordered him while at the station to put the calves into the calf pen which he refused to do. I told him I would make him do it and he said he would not. I have taken him to court once before for the same things. I then ordered him to charge of a flock of sheep which he refused. The prisoner states in his defence that when he was ordered to take charge of the sheep he was unable to do so from a severe cold for which he has since been treated by the doctor and besides the sight of his remaining eye would also disqualify him it being imperfect from taking charge of sheep and which he told the overseer was his reason for refusing- denies calling his overseer a perjurer. The Bench admitting that the prisoners illness might prevent his performing his duty and acquit him of that part of the charge but find him guilty of leaving his station without leave and making use of abusive language to his overseer and referring to a former instance when brought before this court about five weeks ago, wherein it appears he had threatened the prosecutor the Bench sentence him fifty lashes
