Convict Notes
He apparently was unrepentant or raised some objections as he went to the gallows as evidenced in the Death notice of Hobart Town Gazette 24 Sep 1824: Job Corfield, stealing in a dwelling house, and putting a person therein in fear. Guilty - Death. Executed. The ten unfortunate men who suffered the awful sentence of the law at Port Dalrymple, were attended at the place of execution by the Assistant Colonial Chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Youl, and the Roman Catholic Clergyman of this Settlement, the Rev. Mr. Conolly, who went over there expressly for the purpose. With the exception of Corfield, the whole of these unhappy men died penitently, and in begging forgiveness of their sins to the Almighty, they all acknowledged the justness of their sentence.
Executed for house breaking and using violence.
