Details: William Boroughs assigned to James Reid, charged with insolence and disobedience of orders....A.W. Scott testified.....On Saturday last I saw the prisoner with a soldier s wife looking over the fence near that old house at the back of my premises. I desired him to go away finding he did not I went up to him and asked whose servant he was, not knowing him. He said he was Mr. Reid s and that he was on his master s business there. I again desired him to go away when he went scarcely moving. I repeated the order to him over and over again telling him to walk faster. He had a little switch in his hand which he kept hitting the grass with as he moved. His whole manner was so insolent that I told him to stop. At the same time I told one of my servants to go for a constable whereupon he ran away. I called again to him to stop in a loud voice. He still continued running when I jumped over the fence and ran after him. I followed him to the back of Mr. Reid s premises where he dodged m and got away at the bake house. I saw Mr. Reid there and told him the circumstances. Mr. Reid said he was absent not on any business of his own and that he had repeatedly warned him not to leave the premises. Guilty. Sentenced to 50 lashes.
