From Western Post & Mudgee Guardian, Wednesday, September 25, 1861 POLICE COURT Tuesday, September 24th Before the Police Magistrate, His Worship the Mayor, and Thomas CADELL, Esq. Thomas ISBESTER, was summoned for £2 18s for wages due. Thomas WARD said he had engaged to assist in ploughing 16 acres of land at the rate of four shillings per acre. Defendant measured the land upon the completion of the work and said that he would only pay for 14 ½ acres, which complainant was willing to accept. He had since refused to pay even that. John CONSTANTINE proved that the work was properly done. Defendant said he objected to pay on the ground that complainant had drawn two logs off the land, that he had lost the bullocks, and that he (defendant) had to pay a pound for their recovery. This was denied and the defendant was ordered to pay the amount claimed.
