1851, 10 December: William CUDDY or BYRNE, 37, of Co Wicklow was granted a Conditional Pardon (No 51/453). Under the terms of such a pardon, he was not allowed "to go to or be in any part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland". Violation of this stipulation would void his pardon (see NSW Convict Registers of Conditional and Absolute Pardons, 1788-1870).
