SAMPLE ENTRY:

The first instance of a convict striking a soldier was one boy throwing a stone at another, and which accidentally went near or struck Serjeant Jenkins. On the serjeants complaint, the boy was instantly punished by my order with twenty-four lashes in the barrack-yard, although I was certain he did not mean to throw it at the serjeant. The next, sir, is the same Charles Cooper alluded to in your letter, who was tried b y the magistrates on the 10th June, 1793, for striking Private Chesterton, and punished with one hundred lashes, although he was not sober at the time he committed the action ...
[Lieutenant-Governor King to Lieutenant-Governor Grose, 19 March 1794]
