Details: Thomas Davis per ship Dunvegan Castle, assigned to Hugh Cameron, charged with insolence and disobedience and killing a calf. Mr. Cameron states - The prisoner is my assigned servant; on the morning of 17th March last the prisoner who is employed as stockman, reported that a calf had dropped down dead in the yard; upon skinning the animal I found upon the forehead a mark which had evidently been caused by a violent blow. I suspected the prisoner from his often maltreating the cattle in his charge; and on Saturday evening last I ordered him to take a case with some clothes into the house; he said he would take it in when he thought proper; he came in about an hour after with the clothes and shook his hand violently in my face saying he would not be ordered by me and appeared ready to strike me when a dog which was with me kept him at a distance; and last Sunday morning I ordered him to give milk to a foal which had left its mother, as usual he brought some milk and put it down at my foot and told me to do what I pleased with it and then went off. The prisoner states in his defence that he does not know how the calf got hurt and denies shaking his hand in his masters face. With regard to refusing to give the foal milk, the foal was out in the bush at the time and I had been employed from sun rise in the morning bringing in cattle and milking them and it was then one o clock and I had got no breakfast; and nobody knew where the foal was; during the week days he was brought to me by another man when he could be found to be freed that he is obliged to bring in upwards of a hundred and twenty head of cattle and to milk twelve or fifteen of them and then go to some other work until within an hour of sun down when he is obliged to go and bring in the cattle again and it is often dark before he finds them; that with regard to taking in the clothes he admits that he did not take it at the time he ordered him as he was going to see his mess divided. Thomas Cameron states - I saw the prisoner shake his hand in my father s face - it did not appear to me that it was with the intention of striking him, saying he would not be abused by him or anyone else. I was present when my father directed the man to feed the foal; it was then about 12 o clock. I heard him say that he had not got any breakfast. The foal was in the bush at the time. The Bench find the prisoner guilty of disobedience and disrespect to his master by not taking in the case and clothes when he was direct to do so but acquit him of the charge of killing the calf and sentence him to rec3ive twenty lashes but direct that a reasonable time shall be allowed him to get his food and if his master had occasion to employ him after the usual hours that he shall make him an allowance for it during the day

Details: John Crawford per ship York, assigned to Mr. Hugh Cameron, charged with neglect of duty. Mr. John Cameron states - The prisoner is employed by my father as a stockman and in last Sunday week he did not go for his cattle until about eight oclock in the morning tho he had been cautioned to go out early for them. The following morning I told him he must go out earlier; he said that if he went out before sunrise he must take it off another day. Yesterday morning I went to call the men to their work when the prisoner came out. I asked him why he was so long in going after his cattle; he said he thought he was soon enough; I conceive it was an hour after daylight when I went to call the men. A week before the time specified above the prisoner was in his hut; I went to see why he was not going after his cattle; he said he was unwell; he lay in his hut on Monday Tuesday and the morning of Wednesday when my father threatened to take him to court; he got up and went after his cattle. We had reason to suppose nothing was the matter with him, as he had feigned sickness on a former occasion when consulting the Doctor he stated there was nothing the matter wit him. The prisoner states in his defence that he considers he was always up at early as he could except on one occasion when he had been up late the previous evening grinding his mess. The Bench find the prisoner guilty and sentence him to receive twenty five lashes.
