The Gazette. GOVERNMENT NOTICES.— The Lieutenant Governor has been pleased to extend to the following convicts, the indulgences stated after their names respectively, as rewards for meritorious conduct, viz : To Henry Barton, Clyde, a ticket-of-leave, and Walter Higgins, Lord Lyndoch, holding a ticket-of-leave, the sum of five pounds—for meritorious services in connection with the capture of two bushrangers, named Horrocks and Jones, near the entrance of the River Tamar. Colonial Times, 6 Nov 1838. -------------------------------------------------- Our readers are aware, that for the last fortnight, a gang, consisting of four armed convicts; have been committing robberies in the vicinity of George Town, and on the banks of the Tamar - On the 15th instant, they robbed a fisherman's hut at West-arm, on the Tamar, taking with them a musket and some provisions; they also succeeded in robbing a boat of nearly a cask of pork, and a quantity of flour. A party was immediately dispatched from George Town, consisting of two soldiers of the 50th regiment, two constables, and two volunteers (convicts) ; and on the 18th, after tracing them, and watching a boat for two nights and a day, they discovered two armed men approaching it. The party immediately rushed upon them, when Jones instantly surrendered ; Horrocks snapped his piece at one of the soldiers, which missed fire. One of the constables instantly returned it, but the priming being damaged, his gun did not go off. The prisoners were then secured, and are now in safe custody at George Town, where the necessary depositions are being taken, in order that these marauders may be brought to trial. The police of the Westbury district are patrolling round the neighbourhood of Port Sorell, and the Launceston police are equally active, so that we doubt not the other two convicts, Rodgerson and Wilson, will shortly be captured. Four out of the six convicts who escaped from the custody of a constable near Bagdad, last week, have been retaken. Hobart Town Courier, 28 Sept 1838. ---------------------------------------------------
