Convict Notes
John Belcher was 16 years old when transported for Cutting and Maiming J. James, of Westerleigh. He was sentenced to death. 8/9/1821: On list of all persons victualled from H M Magazines. 15/11/1825: Petition for mitigation of sentence. 1830: TOL Sydney 16/10/1824: CP 13/5/1828: Permission to marry Jane Chadwicke, age 15, born in the Colony.

It doesn't make sense, but I thought it may make sense to someone.
