Place: Newcastle
Source: NSW Courts Magistrates, Newcastle Police Court: 1823-1825 (Ancestry)
Details: John Brown per Morley in service of government charged with frequent disobedience of orders and insolent conduct....The principal superintendent states....The prisoner is an obstinate man and in the habit of disobeying any orders I may think it necessary to give and will not do any work unless it be such as he likes. I yesterday directed him to go in a boat up the river. He replied he certainly would to but that he was a sawyer by trade and could not be expected to pull and oar - but he can pull very well when he likes. He went into the boat but when she pushed off from the wharf he refused to pull and I was obliged to replace him with another man. The prisoner is the most troublesome man in the lumber yard. He is quite unmanageable. The prisoner states that he did not like to quit the town therefore objected to go up the river. Sentence: to be removed from the sawyers gang and to be placed at hard labour until an opportunity offered to send him to Sydney accompanied by a full statement of misconduct recommending him as a proper subject for Norfolk Island
