Convict Notes
Thomas was caught housebreaking and was tried at the Gloucester Assiizes on the 28th March 1833, and he was sentenced to life. Thomas was only 22yrs of age, single and his education was limited. He could only read, and his occupation was a shoemaker. The story of his and his brothers' trial is as follows: Thomas was charged with his brothers for shooting, assaulting and stealing from Henry William Hancox of Tunley. They had intended to murder him, and put him into fear of his life. They stole from him ten sovereigns, one ten pound provincial bank note, seven five pound bank notes and about fifeteen shillings in silver. They also stole nine teaspoons, a punch ladle, a pair of silver mounted spectacles, a purse, six shillings in money, a pocket book, a gold ring, a gold brooch and several pairs of earrings which were the property of Theresa Hancox. They were charged on the oaths of John Hancox of Tunley in the parish of Bisley and Henry William Hancox of the same place. There was a court case Saturday April the 6th 1833 and Mr. Justice Parke summed up the case to the jury who returned a verdict of guilty against both James and Thomas. James said it was his hand that fired the pistol. The prosecutor recommened mercy for Thomas. A judgement of death was passed upon James without mercy and Thomas was sentenced to transportation for life to Australia. Thomas arrived in Sydney, N.S.W. on the ship "LLOYDS" 18 December 1833, on convict indent. Permission to marry Julia Galligan granted 27 May 1863. Condition at time was ticket of leave.
