Job Ellison was charged with have burglariously broken and entered the dwelling-house of Thomas Sandeford, at Tottington Hight End, and with having stolen a silver watch, four gold rings, a necklace, two silk handkerchiefs, four sovereigns, two guineas, some silver, and other articles. The Jury, in five minutes, found the prisoner - Guilty, but recommended him to mercy, as no violence had been used by him. Job Ellison was sentenced to suffer death. His Lordship said the recommendation of the Jury should be attended to ; but it was impossible to say whate the result would be as his crime was of such magnitude, as to call down the heaviest penalties of the law. His having fire-arms, and not using them, was, his Lordship said, highly favourable to him ; but he exhorted him not to place too great a reliance on the recommendation which would be made on his behalf. 24/5/1826 Sydney Gazette: MAY 20. - William Dunnan, and Job Ellison, prisoners of the crown for 14 years each, and Patrick Grady, and John Ryan, for 7 years each, were brought up charged with embezzeling some cedar boards, the property of government ; the prisoners were employed as sawyers, at a particular pit, whence the boards were removed, but as the evidence did not come home to all the prisoners, they were remanded for further examination on Monday. 12/10/1827 Sydney Gazette: Police Report. WINDSOR. September 17.—Job Ellison was charged with stealing a pair of trowsers, the property of a fellow servant ; they had been stolen, from a man when he came to his master's farm, in the capacity of " a new chum."— Ellison is a sawyer, and of course is an acquisition on an estate, where buildings are always repairing or being repaired, but justice must prevail, and howsoever useful Job might make himself in one way, such nuisance in the other must be removed. There is very much of the turbulent charac- ter in Ellison, and if his mother had him christened "Job," because he was a patient child, he had deceived her since he left the cradle. The property was identified, and proved to have been exchanged by him for other articles.—Sentence, one year to a penal settlement. 1834: TOL Field of Mars 1838: TOL Parramatta 1840: TOL Parramatta 24/6/1841: Convict Death Register - Job Ellison died at the Parramatta Hospital.
