Convict Notes
VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—About six years ago, Ann Spencer, a young female of this town, was transported to New South Wales, and we are happy to find that she is now, to use her own expression, “doing better than any one who ever came from the place”, by a letter, which has been received from her, we are enabled to collect some information respecting some of the individuals belonging to Nottingham, who have become amenable to the laws of their country, but whom we trust will return to it as useful and honorable members of society. The letter is dated Feb. 28th, 1827, Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land—John Lamb and William Potter, convicted in the County, were both well. Benjamin Walker, was sentenced to seven years' transportation at the Town Epiphany Sessions, 1820, for stealing a pair of breeches, is now a free man, and hopes to be at home in about twelve months. Henry Green, transported for life at the Town Lent Assizes, 1825, for highway robbery, was at Port Dalrymple. Joseph Clarke, sentenced to seven years' transportation at the January Town Sessions, 1823, for stealing a coat and other articles; and Sarah Clarke, (we believe his wife) in the July Town Sessions, 1823, for picking pockets, sentenced also to seven years, were both employed at the Governor's house. Alfred Gilden, another convict, tried for Molly in the County, was doing very well indeed, and had a great run of trade. The letter adds, They hang every ... from fourteen to fifteen, and for very trifling offences. Two Nottingham men were hanged here very lately, and one was shot dead in the bush. ... Nottingham and Newark Mercury, 18 Aug 1827.
