HO-9-7_2 page 40/48. Hulk Records. Retribution Hulk at Sheerness. Received from Worcester, 3rd May 1826. Wm Bubb, age 22, Ho Breaking, convicted at Worcester, 4 March 1826, Life, NSW 16 Sep 1826.
8th Sept, 1830 As JOHN COOK, WILLIAM BUTT [actually BUBB] and JAMES MURPHY were proceeding to their work in the Gaol Gang, they met with and killed their Overseer, ADAM OLIVER, opposite to the present lumber yard gate. COOK was the first who knocked him down with his spade and the others followed beating him till he was dead. It appeared that Oliver was not the object of their spleen, but their original Overseer WILLIAM JACQUEMAN was the man whom they intended to murder being disliked by the whole of the Gang. It happened, however, that the services of JACQUEMAN were this day required elsewhere, and as they had brought their minds to the horrid deed, poor OLIVER fell a prey to their ferocious designs, he being also generally disliked by the men. The murderers immediately gave themselves up to the authorities. (‘History of Norfolk Island from the period of its Discovery in the year 1774', to-1 August 1854, by Aaron Price)
