John Morris per Asia, James Mills per Captain Cook and Robert Harlock per Captain Cook all assigned to James Reid Esq., charged with being out after hours...Constable William Rouse testified...On Saturday night at ten oclock I was going by the house of William Turvey and heard the voice of Morris. I knocked at the door. Turvey answered and asked who was there. I told him Rouse the Constable. He said he would not let me in and that he would not open the door for any body. We waited outside the door behind the paling in a few minutes after he opened the door and let the prisoners out. We pursued and took them as they were going towards their homes and put them in the watch house. All found guilty. Mills was sentenced to twenty lashes; Morris and Harlock were sentenced to thirty five lashes each. In consequence of the scourger Bray having absconded, the above punishment is remitted to twenty four hours in solitary confinement in the cells. Magistrate Thomas Gibson

John O Burn assigned bonded servant to James Reid charged with refusing wholesome food and exciting his fellow prisoners to misconduct...Mr. James Reid stated, On Sunday morning last I felt it necessary to stop the tea and sugar of my government men, and to give them milk in lieu. It was received the first day, but on the second they declared that it was not fit for pigs and that I might keep it. I consider the prisoner O Burn to be a ringleader and exciting of the others to this misconduct. Formerly his conduct was good and I had reason to be satisfied with him, but lately I have ascertained that impropriety of the conduct which surprises me considerably. Prisoner denied the charge generally but stated nothing to the point. The Commandant (Henry Gillman) observed upon this occasion that with strict propriety he could not receive this person into government employ but conceiving them to be the reason and exciter of insubordination on Mr. Reids farm he considered it proper immediately to remove him from thence on the strong recommendation made by Mr. Reid as well as a private communication from Mr. Reid stating that his property was in great danger. The Commandant is induced to give the foregoing explanation as the reason for deviating from a rule laid down, in consequence of the litigious disposition evinced towards him by Mr. Reid and his adherents for some time past. Samue Theady was assigned to James Reid in place of John O Burn.
