Convict Notes
Jane Barton, wife of John Barton, senior, and mother of John Barton , Jun, was transported for 14 years and arrived in NSW per Brothers in 1824. She was tried at Oxford Assizes, with her daughter, Mary Barton, age 22, for receiving stolen property, Mary was found not guilty.
The first trial called on was one which excited considerable interest; John Barton, the younger, was indicted for breaking open the fowl-house of Wm. Slatter. Esq. at Dean Court, near this city, and stealing thereout a considerable number of geese and other fowl, and John Barton, sen. the father of the above prisoner, for receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. The trial was conducted with a considerable degree of care and attention, and after a very clear and perspicuous charge from the learned Recorder, both prisoners were convicted on the clearest and most satis, factory evidence. John Barton, the younger, was sentenced to seven years transportation, and his father to fourteen years. We sincerely hope that the above striking examples of punishment will be attended with the best affects, evincing determination the part of the part of the Magistrates of this city punish in the most exemplary way persons found wicked and daring enough thus to invade the property of their neighbours.
