New Town Charitable Institute Admission dates: 27 Nov 1894 to 10 Oct 1895 - Discharged. Absent on pass
Married Catherine CHARLES (1826–92), 1866, Hamilton, Tas. His age is given on the convict manifest as 24, which could be age at trial (birth, c1825) or transportation (c1828). Here, his (and Catherine’s) dates are given according to official Tas govt records. He was 5’7” with pale complexion, large head, black hair, dark eyes, oval face and low forehead. He probably had a tattoo ‘E.G.’ on his left arm. He could read and write. He was admonished for insolence in January 1853 and spent ten days in June in solitary for “being in a public house drinking” during the hours of divine service. A newspaper reported that when the case was heard he appeared “either very deaf or very stupid” (Hobart Courier 31/5/53). He nevertheless gained a ticket-of-leave next year (14/2/54). In 1863 he was sentenced to “one year’s imprisonment with hard labor” for rolling a drunk in a prearranged manoeuvre with an accomplice.
