in 1839, Amos Cole, together with Charles Price, laid a complaint against their master, Thomas Archer, Cole and Price complained that their master had prevented them from attending divine service. The two convicts made their complaint in a letter directly to Lieutenant Governor Arthur, an evangelical stickler for religious observance. Price admitted that his complaint was false, that he did not ask to go to worship because he was a Catholic, and there was no Catholic church near enough to attend. Amos Cole maintained that he had been prevented from going to Church, as he had been in the habit of doing, because of his misconduct with the female servants at Woolmers. Moreover, under questioning he admitted that, “he wrote the letter in order to get away” the magistrate sentenced them both to twelve months’ hard labour in chains, they were then returned to their master’s service.
