New South Wales and Tasmania, Australia Convict Musters. Year; 1841 No; 820 Name; Edward Allen Ship; Neptune Noted against name; EXECUTED; 29 July 1841 Edward Allen - 31 July 1841 - Hanged at Launceston for the murder of Samuel Brewell at Muddy Creek, on the west bank of the Tamar VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. Execution. -Edward Allen suffered the extreme penalty of the law, for the murder of Samuel Brewell. The wretched man was at- tended by the Catholic Priest, to whom, it is supposed he made a full confession of his guilt, although he forbade that gentleman, immediately before he was turned off, from making a statement to the spectators. Allen, to several gentlemen in the condemned cell, indirectly admitted his guilt, yet refused to satisfy the public mind, which he said was actuated merely by curiosity. After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down and delivered over to the surgeons for dissection. - Cornwall Chronicle.
