Details: William Bygrove per ship Camden, in service of Col. Dumaresq, charged with refusing to work on pretence of sickness and with irregular conduct and insolence on other occasions. Lieut-Col Dumaresq states that on 1st instant, his Superintendent Mr. Wightman stated to him that the prisoner had refused to work alleging that he was not well and that he had no shoes. in reply to a question put by Mr. Wightman he said that as he had a pair of boots he perhaps might be able to work. He persisted in his refusal to work altho only required to hand straw to a man thatching and on being examined by deponent on the 3rd inst. his statements appeared so contradictory with reference to his ailments and so much at variance with his appearance that he called upon Doctor Macredie to visit him. The annexed certificate from that gentleman will show his impression that nothing ailed him. This impression has been since confirmed by the prisoner s subsequent conduct. Deponent further states that the prisoner s conduct has been marked by irregularity and insolence. He was sentenced by William Ogilvie to receive 50 lashes in consequence of an exaggerated instance of such behaviour but a succession of floods at that time preventing his being forwarded to the Bench for punishment and at the request of deponent this sentence was remitted. Deponent states that the prisoner was not entitled to shoes that he has received several articles of clothing more than due to him, but that finding he had only to appear without a proper dress to be supplied with what he wanted. He has frequently made away with or destroyed his clothes from want of proper care.. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to receive fifty lashes
