Convict Notes
By 1841 Henry Hart was mixing in bad company, even though his master, Mr Mclehose, was prepared to say he was a good servant. The Simpkins referred to is Isaac Simpkins, Free in 1838 after 14 years, arrived per Minstrel in 1825. THE SYDNEY HERALD, TUES 21 DECEMBER 1841, P 2 "LONG'S LANE. - Notwithstanding the exertions of the police to "mend the morals" of the cabal who frequent this part of the town, it is still the resort of Sunday gamblers, thieves, and common prostitutes, as well as of the harbourers of assigned convicts, as is evident from the following cases which came before the Police Courts yesterday. "During Divine Service, Inspector Nugent, accompanied by a constable, proceeded to take a peep into the back premises of the house occupied by Dixon Thurston, where they saw about twenty of the greatest blackguards in the town busily employed in gambling. ... .... On the same afternoon Nugent paid a visit to Simpkin's residence, also in the same locality, where he succeeded in apprehending Henry Hart, assigned to Mr. Maclehose, of Hunter-street ; it appeared that Hart was taken into custody just as he was rising from bed, also that he had on a previous occasion been apprehended on Simpkin's premises, for which he had been punished and Simpkin's fined for harbouring him. The prisoner's master informed the Court that he was a good servant, but it was almost impossible to keep him from the company who associate in Simpkin's house." Henry was ordered to be confined and worked on the treadmill for fourteen days. Certificate of Freedom dated 28 April 1843, Number: 43/0668.
