Bridget A Broderick was transported on the Buffalo, departing 4th May 1833 and arriving 5th Oct 1833 with 183 passengers.
1833 - Voyage. Transported; 179 Female Convicts and 25 Children 1839 - Voyage. On 28th September 1839, the Ship Buffalo left Quebec, Canada, taking 144 prisoners to Van Diemen’s Land and New South Wales, following the Patriot War in Canada in 1837-38. Some of the prisoners were French Canadians patriots and others were American patriots, captured after the Battle of the Windmill. The Ship went first to Van Diemens Land, arriving at Hobart on 11th February 1840, where most of the American prisoners were landed, and then went on to Sydney, arriving on 26th February 1840, where the 58 French speaking prisoners were landed. They were separated mainly because there was hostility between the Americans from Lower Canada and the Canadians from Upper Canada. The prisoners were in the main, literate, idealistic and honest men.

November 1832, trial of BRIDGET BRODERIP (t18321129-191). BRIDGET BRODERIP, Theft > theft from a specified place, 29th November 1832. 192. BRIDGET BRODERIP was indicted for stealing, on the 9th of November , 40 half-crowns, 100 shillings, 80sixpences, and 1 bag, value 2d., the property of Michael Dwyer , in his dwelling-house . MR. PHILLIPS conducted the prosecution. MARIA DWYER . I am the wife of Michael Dwyer - he keeps the Wellington public-house, Lucas-street, Commercial-road ; it is his dwelling-house. On Friday, the 9th of November, the prisoner came in about two o'clock in the afternoon; she asked for half a pint of beer, and asked me to warm it - I went into the parlour to the warming-pot; I had seen my till safe the instant before, when I gave the prisoner change - when I came back, I observed the till was partly out, but I did not suspect any thing; the prisoner finished her beer, and went away - when she was gone I examined the till, and missed a bag, containing from 12l. to 15l. in silver; I had seen it safe, and had my hand in the bag not a minute before she came in - I sent my pot-boy after her; he could not find her, but she came back in half an hour, and asked if I could get her a customer for a goose - I asked her for my money; she said, "What money?" I said, "The bag of money you took from my till;" she said had I lost a bag of money - I said, "Yes, and you have got it;" I asked her if any one had been at the bar while she was there - she said No; I said,"Then you have got it;" I sent for an officer, who took her - there was a 6d. in it, which I knew; the head was white, and it was black all round it. Cross-examined by MR. DOANE. Q. She dealt in poultry, I believe? A. Yes - I had bought things of her; she expressed her astonishment when I charged her with it - she stripped herself, but nothing was found but 2s. 6d. in her pocket; I never told a servant girl that I thought one of Newton's dust-women had it - there was myself and the pot-boy at home, but the pot-boy was not at the bar. SARAH AMOR . I am the wife of William Amor , a baker, in Lucas-street. On the 9th of November the pot-boy spoke to me, and in consequence of what he said, I went to my shop door, and saw the prisoner; I said to her, "Mistress, your are wanted at the Wellington;" she said, "Wanted at the Wellington?" I said, "Yes - the lad is in a hurry," but instead of going to the Wellington she went towards Cowdery's field. MARY MATTHEWS . I live in Vinegar-lane. On the 9th of November I saw the prisoner going towards Cowdery's field, between one and two o'clock. SAMUEL CHESTER . I am a sail-maker, and live in Union-terrace. On Saturday morning, the 10th of November, I was going to work across Cowdery's field - I saw a shilling; I looked further, and found 3l. 14s. 6d. in silver - I gave it to my master, all but 4s. PETER DOYLE . I am Chester's master. He gave me the money to take care of, and said he found it in Cowdery's field. JAMES KNIGHT . I am a waterman. I went into Cowdery's field, and found a shilling; Daniel Smith told me to go - I saw him have eight half-crowns, two shillings, and some sixpences. WILLIAM OSBORNE (Police-constable K 66). I was called to the Wellington, and the prisoner was given in charge - she said she was innocent; but in going to the watch-house she seemed flurried, and asked for my hand; I gave it her, and she put half a crown in it, told me to do what I could for her, and she would make it all right. MRS. DWYER. This sixpence was among the money that was lost. Cross-examined. Q. Dirty sixpences are not very uncommon? A. I have had it three or four months - it has been repeatedly offered in change, and refused. Prisoner's Defence. I went for change for a shilling, and asked her to warm me half a pint of beer, which she did - I then came out with the two sixpences she had given me; I then went to a lady's, and received half a crown - I went across Cowdery's field in my way home, but did not go where the money was found - I then returned to the witness, to offer her a goose I had to sell, and she said the boy from the Wellington was looking for me; I went there- I gave the half-crown to the officer to get some beer for us to drink. GUILTY . Aged 45. - Transported for Life .
