Convict Notes
Samuel Chillcott was listed as 27 years old on arrival. Samuel had been transported before for Housebreaking in 1826, he served 4 years and 6 months on board Leviathan - also once for assault, 6 weeks. Samuel was 5'7¾" tall, dark complexion, black hair and whiskers, hazel eyes, mouth habitually open, single. 18333-35 Musters: Assigned to Mr. J. Griffiths. 20/5/1841: TOL 12/7/1844: Recommended for a CP July 1845: CP approved. Again convicted. 30/10/1863 The Mercury, Hobart: SECOND COURT. BEFORE His Honor Sir Francis Smith, Knt. Tho Court sat at 12 o'clock. SENTENCE?. Samuel Chillcott, convicted of burglary committed on the premises of Mr. William Harrison, was placed in the dock, and on the usual question being put to him said, be hoped His Honor would extend mercy to him in consideration of the fearful injuries he had sustained in the scuffle with Mr. Harrison. His Honor said he could not agree that this was any ground why the mercy of the Court should be extended to the prisoner, inasmuch as it was not to be forgotten that he had brought those injuries upon himself. He would now take the opportunity and he had not considered it right to do so previously for fear of influencing the case-of expressing his opinion, that the conduct of Mr. Harrison had been most courageous, and that the country was under an obligation to him, for had he not exhibited so much determination, the prisoner must have escaped unpunished. He found that the prisoner had arrived in the colony in 1833 under sentence for a felony from the person. He was again convicted in 1847 for larceny, and also for a similar offence again in 1851, and in 1850 he was sentenced to three years' penal servitude for being upon premises with the evident intent of committing an offence similar to that of which he was now charged. His character was, therefore, a bad one, and he was convicted of a very grave offence, namely, that of burglary. He could not pass a lenient sentence, therefore, but he thought the justice of the case would be met by a sentence of imprisonment for 12 years. 20/4/1869: Samuel Chillcott died at Port Arthur.
