Convict Notes
Re THEFT -- along with his two accomplices, he stole beef and port (http://foundersandsurvivors.org/pubsearch/convict/chain/ai10551). --0--
From the JERSEY ARCHIVE REGISTER (https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Transportation_Registers): “Details of many hundreds of those sent to UK prisons and their offences between 1844 and 1939 are contained in Royal Court Transportation Registers, now in storage at Jersey Archive. The title is perhaps a little confusing because transportation is generally understood to refer to those offenders sent to the Colonies - particularly Australia - to serve their sentences. It is clear that Jersey’s registers do not just cover those who ended up on the other side of the world, because according to the Australian Convict Transportation Registers 1791 – 1868 held in the National Archives at Kew, only 69 prisoners were transported to Australia from Jersey. Of those 69 only three were women… William Campion 35 – Burglary and theft – 23 April 1844 – seven years – married no children – reads well, writes imperfectly – no trade – is well acquainted with the principles of Religion and morality – good health." --0--
TRIAL: 20 March, 1844 / 23 April, 1844: Different dates on VDL convict and Jersey records databases. Both agree he was convicted and sentenced to 7 years’ transportation, along with William Wellman (also aboard the Hyderabad) and John Burridge, for burglary (https://stors.tas.gov.au/CON33-1-86$init=CON33-1-86p47). --0--
