Convict Notes
New South Wales, Australia, Convict Death Register, 1826-1879 Died at Norfolk Island in the settlement hospital
New South Wales, Australia, Gaol Description and Entrance Books, 1818-1930 for William Davidson 1/2/1837 From Dumfries Scotland Presbyterian and a sawyer. 15/2/1838 convicted of burglary and sent to Sydney gaol The Sydney Herald (NSW : 1831 - 1842) Thu 24 May 1838 Page 2 LAW INTELLIGENCE. William Davidson convicted of stealing in a dwelling house and putting in fear. His Honor said that from the desperate character of the prisoner, who was originally sent from England to be worked in irons, and had committed a variety of depredations after his arrival here, his life would assuredly have been forfeited if he had committed any violence, or had been armed, but as be had only taken some clothes, the Court was spared the necessity of passing sentence of death upon him, but he must prepare to spend the remainder of his days at Norfolk Island. Davidson said he would rather be executed. His Honor requested the Registrar to make a memorandum, that it was his recommendation that Davidson should never be allowed to return to this colony.
