Convict Notes
The following are the other convictions: James Brady, stealing a horse—judgment of death recorded. … Enniskillen Chronicle, 5 Aug 1830.
Norfolk Island -On the 15th July last, seven [more likely eight] of the prisoners at this settlement made their escape in a whale-boat, which they had contrived to build secretly in a cave in Mr. Waldron's garden, and which they carried overland a distance of three miles to Cresswell's Bay, at which place they embarked, and got clear off. Owing to the tempestuous weather which set in the day after their departure, and which continued eighteen days, there is every probability of the boat having foundered. It appears strange that the building of the boat could have been effected without discovery, as it was found, on examining the marks on the sand, that she measured about thirty feet over all, and it must have taken some time to complete her.
