Convict Notes
TRADE: Fisherman, according to VDL Conduct Record (https://stors.tas.gov.au/CON33-1-78$init=CON33-1-78p20).
From the Jersey Transportation Registers site: Philip Bishop Aged 28 – Burglary and theft – Convicted in October 1843 – sentenced to 14 years – Confined in prison five times before this offence – five years in a career of crime – Idle, drunken and bad character – mother respectable – single – reads and write well – no trade – seems to be well acquainted with the principles of morality; attended a Sunday school when a boy but has been led astray by bad company – tampered with his left leg soon after his conviction to evade the course of the law. He was detected with a cord around it which soon after caused an abscess to form about the knee joint, now nearly well by surgical treatment. The cord which Bishop made use of was formed with shreds of his shirt (https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Transportation_Registers). --0--
TRIAL: 4 October, 1843: He was convicted at St Helier's of burglary (according to his VDL Conduct Record) but other documents say it was for receiving stolen property, including wearing apparel and other things; as well, he had a previous conviction with 2 month's jail for stealing two watches (http://foundersandsurvivors.org/pubsearch/convict/chain/ai05175). --0--
