The Courier, 8 July 1842. --------------------------------------------------- James was transported from India to NSW on the Britannia in 1814. The following news report suggests the dates of the voyage. I have not found it recorded whether he was tried in a civil or military court at Madras. "The Britannia has brought a small supply of India goods, with information that the Frederick had sailed nearly two months before her, for this Port; but with instructions to go first to Batavia, which doubtless occasions her delay. She also brings Calcutta papers down to the 8th of November; which acquaint us with the arrival of the Right Hon. the EARL of MOIRA, who has succeeded Lord MINTO in the Government of India." Sydney Gazette, 19 Feb 1814.
