On Aug 3, 1619, when the assembly convened for its first session, Captain William Powell Jamestown (1), a burgess, made allegations against Garnett, who was one of his servants. He claimed that Garnett was lewd and treacherous and said that he had behaved wantonly with a widowed female servant. He also said that when confronted in the presence of the governor, Garnett called Powell a thief and a drunkard. Powell claimed that Garnett had caused him financial losses and had sought to have him deposed from office, even killed. Several other servants testified against Garnett in support of Powell's allegations. Afterward, the assembly, acting as a judicial body, found Thomas Garnett guilty as charged and sentenced him to a daily public whipping for four consecutive days and to stand with his ears nailed to the pillory for the same length of time.
