Convict Notes
Tasmanian Convict Conduct Record https://stors.tas.gov.au/CON31-1-16$init=CON31-1-16P199 No 1159. Thomas Greenslade, per Elphijstone. Tried Devon, Exeter Q.S. 19 Oct 1835, 7 years. Transported for obtaining goods by False pretences. Married, 7 children. Wife Ann in London. Surgeon’s report. Has been useful as a teacher. Professes Christianity, but is lamentably inconsistent in Conduct. See record for details. ------------------------------------------------- Hobart Town Police Report. Thomas Greenslade was charged by his master, Mr. Fraser, the coachmaker, with insolence, idleness, and neglect of duty. " Well, what do you say, sir ?" "I do all I can sir ;" no, sir, you do not. I have no objection to a steady man, but you don't do more than an hour's work in a day, and you are always reading the bible instead of doing your work, and when I remonstrate with you coolly, you cry out, ' There is one above will judge all.' I have no objection to you reading your bible, but do your work like an honest man." Here the prisoner groaned, and as his conduct was represented to be one of those who obeyed every call, but his master's call to work - it being his first appearance at the office, he was admonished, and advised to do his work. Colonial Times, 28 Mar 1837.
