To Mr Tuckwell, Supt. Factory, Parramatta. 9 Sept 1823. Sir, In the Sydney Gazette of the 4th September you will find that Thomas Edwards by the Lord Eldon, and Thomas Hearn, by the Shipley have received both their Certificates of Freedom. I am, etc …. F. Goulburn, THE undermentioned Persons have obtained Certificates, or Tickets of Leave, during the last Week :— CERTIFICATES. Shipley ..... Solomon Hearn; Sydney Gazette, 4 Sept 1823. NSW Convict Index. Solomon Hearn, per Shipley, 1817, Certificate of Freedom, 26 Aug 1828. No 28/0789. in lieu of CF 58/1272.
Two men, named Solomon Hearn and England Hearn, part of a gang of gipseys, were apprehended on Monday se’nnight at Gosherton, on suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery, in February last, of the coach-house of the Ladies Noel at North Luffenham Drakard’s Stamford News, 15 March 1816. ...Solomon Hearn, alias Herring, and England Hearn, alias Herring, for breaking open the dwelling-house of the Ladies Noel, ... Drakard’s Stamford News, 2 Aug 1816. —Solomon Hearn and England Hearn, two gipsies, were sentenced to seven years’ transportation for stealing various articles of harness and saddlery, the property of the Ladies Noel, North Luffenham : Leicester Chronicle, 3 Aug 1816. Escape of A Convict—Solomon Hearn, sentenced to transportation at the late Oakham assizes, for robbing the coach-house of the Ladies Noel at Luffenham,  made his escape on Monday in the following manner.—he and two other transports convicted at the same assizes (England Hearn and Daniel Leyin) were being conveyed to London on the Old Stamford coach, guarded by the gaoler of Oakham, a turnkey, and a man …. The prisoners handcuffed and-ironed, but not chained together, were placed in the front of the coach, their guardians taking their post in the rear. About eleven at night, when the travellers were three miles south of Biggleswade, Hearn got from the coach, and was not missed by his vigilant watchmen until they had proceeded some distance from the spot where their charge had given them the slip. It was confessed by the two remaining convicts that Hearn’s  irons would not impede his course, for they had been partly sawn of in Oakham gaol, and partly in Stamford  gaol, in which latter he lay only from 6 in the morning of Monday till 3in the afternoon, the hour the coach started. His retreat has not yet been discovered, and probably never will: he is a gipsey, and we understand there are some gangs of this wandering brotherhood in the neighbourhood of Biggleswade, among whom he has doubtless thrown himself for protection. Drakard’s Stamford News, 13 Sept 1816.
