Details: John Hunter, in service to Edward Gostwyck Cory, charged with repeatedly refusing work and disobedience to the orders of his master and the overseer. Mr. Cory states the prisoner has not been many months in my service, but his general conduct is very reprehensible, he is continually framing excuses to evade doing his work; on Saturday last he was ordered to assist in discharging my vessel which was lying on the beach and refused on the pretence that his feet were injured from the quantity of calomel he had formerly taken. John Tiernan, overseer on Mr. Corys farm states - Hunter if one of the idlest men my master has in his service. On Saturday last he was ordered by my master to assist in discharging the vessel when he refused because his feet could not bear the cold. The prisoner states - we came away last week from my masters farm and our blankets were left behind by my masters orders. We were two nights on the water and arrived at Newcastle on Friday. We remained on board my masters vessel that night and had no blankets to cover us. I cannot go into the water having taken formerly a great deal of mercury and I suffer in my feet from it. Mr. Cory states - I have been obliged to order my overseer to prevent my men bringing their blankets with them to Newcastle as they are generally made away with. There were plenty of sails on board my vessel and they could have had the use of them if they chose in the hold. John Hunter sentenced to 50 lashes, subject to reference to Surgeon Brooks on the alleged incapacity to work from the effects of calomel.

Details: James Stephens, in service of Edward Gostwyck Cory, charged with neglect of work and insolence to his master. Mr. E.G. Cory states - about ten days since my overseer called my attention to two men on my farm, whose united work did not come up near the quantity they were jointly required to perform; after looking at them a short time I ascertained that Stephens companion was doing double the work that Stephens did and I thought it nothing but fair to the other man to direct Stephens to go to another part of the field to work, in order that each mans labour might be fairly apportioned but he refused to go. I told him if he persisted I should be under the necessity of taking him to a Magistrate who might probably compel him to work with a sore back, he replied he did not care for 500. I told him if he did not go to his work, I would sent him to barracks on which he answered it was just what he wanted; He however did go to the work. I had pointed out for him - but previous to going he said that if I did get him punished he would never do any good for me. The prisoner makes no defence. James Stephens sentenced to 50 lashes

Details: George Gilbert, in service of Edward Gostwyck Cory, charged with neglect of work and idleness. John Tiernan, overseer to Mr. Cory, states - My master is gone to Sydney on business. He left orders with me as to the work to be performed on his farm; on Wednesday last I set out a moderate task for gilbert, but during the whole day he only broke up four rod. He is very idle and continually making excuses of ill health as a reason for it. The prisoner states - I have frequent pains in my limbs and cannot work at the hoe. I am most used to being afloat and pulling in a boat. George Gilbert sentenced to 50 lashes
