Convict Notes
Colonial Secretary Papers. Windsor Court House, 9 March 1822. Sir, We have the honor to report to ;you, for the information of His Excellency Sir Thomas Brisbane, that at a Bench of Magistrates held this day at Windsor, it appeared that a most extraordinary act of neglect and dereliction of duty had occurred in the Superintendent of Convicts at Windsor; in consequence of which a gross fraud had been practised on His Majesty’s Stores. It appeared that a man named Joseph Corp or Capp, a Carpenter, last in the employ of Government received a Ticket of Leave on the 22nd of December last, from Major General Macquarie, at which period he quitted the service … To Fred. Goulburn Esq. (The letter is incomplete) -------------------------------------------------------------- D'Arcy Wentworth, Esquire, Treasurer of the Police Fund in New South Wales, in Account with the Trustees, from the 30th June to the 30th September, 1821. Joseph Carp. Extra Work, New Church, Windsor - - - £5- 0- 0 Sydney Gazette, 24 Nov 1821. ------------------------------------------------------------ Possibly the same person? Joseph Capp was brought before the Bench of Magistrates at Windsor, on Saturday last, on a charge of refusing to ply his punt (rented from Mr. Howe, of Windsor,) when called upon, pleading it was not worth his while for a single penny. But the fact was, it was a man and a pig, which entitled him to three-pence. The Bench very properly argued, that the punt being public property, it was the duty of the puntman to obey the call of any person, without waiting till it suited the defendant to collect numbers. But, being the first offence, the Magistrates reprimanded him, and allowed him to escape this time by paying costs. We notice this as a hint to all toll-men, as the Public are not to be annoyed by the caprices, laziness, or obstinacy of interested individuals. Sydney Gazette, 23 Oct 1823.
