John Milton Dascombe was an exile, imprisoned in Pentonville Prison, London, from 28.9.1843 until his departure for Port Phillip on the 'Stratheden' in 1845, arriving in Williamstown on 27.1.1846. Apparently he made a fortune in Victoria and returned to England. A copy of a letter he wrote is in Henry Mayhew and John Binney's The Criminal Prisons of London, pp.55-56, in which he describes his religious conversion.
