Convict Notes
Sheep Stealers.—On Tuesday se'nnight a desperate gang of sheep stealers entered a field of Farmer George Gibbs, at Camerton, near Bath, and slaughtered two sheep upon the spot. Mr. Baloe, constable of the hundred of Wellow, traced blood upon the snow from the field to a house about mile off; where, hanging in the door-way to one of the bed-rooms, he discovered a carcase of a sheep quite warm; and in an out-house close by, he found the skin, which has been sworn to by Farmer Gibbs's son. Thomas Bampfield, the owner the house, and James Dix, lodger, underwent long examination, when Dix made voluntary confession of the facts, and both were committed to Ilchester gaol. Cheltenham Chronicle, 9 Feb 1818.
Thomas was transferred to Van Diemens Land per the 'Elizabeth Henrietta' arriving 30/01/1819.
