Accompanied on voyage by her 3 y.o daughter Sarah Jane Ellis & Sarah's defacto relationship with the father James Ellis. A letter to "grant her our pardon for the crime of which she stands convicted on condition that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the city gaol at Exeter for 18 calendar months, to be computed from the time of her conviction." However, the letter cancelling her deportation arrived after her ship St Vincent had departed London for Australia. Eliza's trial in Exeter was well reported in the Exeter Flying Post & the Western Times (details on FCRC)
