James Garland, age 21, Three Bees (1814), Tried Dublin City, 1813, 7 years, DOB, 1793, native place, Dublin, Watchmaker. ---------------------------------------------------- Colonial Secretary Index. GARLAND, James. Per "Three Bees", 1814. 1817 Dec 6 - Petition for mitigation of sentence (Fiche 3177; 4/1851 pp.126-126b) 1820 Jun - On list of fees paid to the Clerk of the Peace, 1 Jan 1817 to 1 Jan 1821; in case of King v Garland (Reel 6054; 4/1758 p.66b) 1820 Jun 15-Aug 5 - Sentenced to death.

Sydney Gazette, 1 July 1820. -------------------------------------------------- CRIMINAL COURT. on Thursday, the 6th instant, the various prisoners that had been convicted during the session received sentence as follow, James Stubbs and Elizabeth Hannell, implicated with James Garland for forgery, life to Newcastle; … and James Garland, for forgery, all received sentence of death. Yesterday morning were executed, James Ingley, William Taylor and James Garland. We are most happy to state, that each of these premature sufferers met death with that fortitude which vital Christianity alone can inspire.-While on the platform they each delivered an appropriate speech to the numerous spectators, who gave solemn attention, exhorting their fellow prisoners, who witnessed the unhappy spectacle, to shun those vile practices which prevailed among them, gambling, drunkenness, theft, and the total neglect of religion. Garland concluded his admonition by praying that peace might rest upon all who saw his end, and adored his blessed REDEEMER. Each testified a high sense of obligation, in aid of the Ministers of the Established Church, and to the Gentlemen of the Missionary Establishment, to whose sedulous attention, in their last state of misery and degradation, they were much indebted for the tranquillity of mind which could only be inspired by a hope of salvation in the world to come. Sydney Gazette, 15 July 1820.
