[Bartholomew Carty, Atatxx 34, Convict, July 9th, Lat 42 20 S, Long 117 30 E, Died on 17th July; nature of disease - Catarrh; “This patient was on the sick call from the 22nd of last month with three days ago he was discharged...... His name is ABSOLUTELY Bartholomew Carty. It was/STILL is common to mistype this last name. Just because his name was recorded once INCORRECTLY, and then AGAIN in error does not make it correct. He was sentenced for Desertion and it was from the courts that his name was somehow modified. Either way...his name is Carty
Van Diemen's Land records (now Tasmanian Archives) has Bartholomew CARTHY. As he died at sea during the voyage, no other details are recorded on his Conduct Record (link above in Source reference). The same on his 'Description List' and 'Indent'. The 'Candahar' arrived at VDL on 21st July 1842, so Bartholomew died only a few days prior.
