Henry Hunt, charged with stealing one tame rabbit, value ?,. the property of George Swift, at Speldhurst.— Guilty—transported 7 years, Kentish Weekly Post, 22 Dec 1829. ----------------------------------------------------------------- A prisoner named Henry Hunt who came out to the colony about, five years ago and is now advertised as a runaway, has, we learn, recently made his appearance at some of the most remote stock huts armed with a gun and two pistols, and has confessed not only to the murder of the late Capt Serjeantson but to that of the man whom he supposed to be the chief evidence on the late occasion when he was sentenced to Port Arthur. He was seen on Sunday in the neighbourhood of Green Ponds hovering near Mr. Gorringe's whose life he has declared it is his intention to take, because after being nearly three years with that gentleman, he was ordered for repeated ill conduct, by the magistrate to a road party. The sharpest look out is kept for him, and we trust before our next to have the satisfaction by the help of the united exertions of the settlers and the constabulary, to announce his apprehension. He was a prisoner by the Persian about 5 years ago and was originally assigned to Mr. Gorringe. He is as we learn, a thin awkward looking man, walks with his toes very wide apart, has a large ugly mouth, light coloured eyes, and pale sallow complexion. Hobart Town Courier, 1 Apr 1836.
