Convict Notes
From the Old Bailey: Prisoner's Defence. I was playing the violoncello at a gentleman's house and was out very late. I was coming down Oxford-road, a little in liquor, saw a disturbance on the opposite side and crossed over. The prosecutor was running after a man - he came and took me. HUGH BYRNE . When I took him, I found no musical instrument on him - he did not appear intoxicated. CHARLES LOWE (a blind man). I am the prisoner's brother-in-law. On this night I left him, near ten o'clock, in Oxford-street, near Swallow-street. He plays the violoncello - he was in liquor, and said he should go and get more. I took his instrument from him, for fear he should break it. GUILTY . Aged 20. Of stealing from the Person only. Transported for Life . 1831: TOL, Sydney 1837: TOL Sydney 1/9/1837: CP 20/11/1837: CP No date of death found.
