At Cambridge assizes, George Jubb, William Smith, and Thomas Jubb, for uttering forged Bank of England notes, and notes of Messrs. Wright, of Nottingham, were convicted, and sentenced to 14 years’ transportation.
Stamford Mercury, 22 March 1805.

George(24) and Thomas Jubb(34) were arrested with William Smith(30), tried, convicted and transported for a single offence; uttering forged bank-notes. Multiple notes are mentioned; Bank of England and Wright (Charles and Ichabod) Bank – Nottingham.
Circumstance: Mr Charles Pasheller of Fen Drayton, principal of the Huntingdon Bank, sends his un-named servant to sell one or more horses at Sturbridge Fair, Cambridge, on 25th September 1804. Some of the notes used to purchase the horse are declared to be forgeries. (The detection of small denomination banknote forgeries was a developing scandal because of the difficulty of detection and death penalty). Only George Jubb and William Smith were present at the fair, participated in the transaction, took possession of the horse and departed to Birmingham. The notes were subsequently challenged and confirmed as forgeries (by whom?); arrest warrants were transmitted from Bow Street, London to Birmingham where the accused were arrested (George plus William Smith on 8-Oct, then Thomas on 9th) and taken to Cambridge. So from about October 1804, the three are in lock-up at Cambridge Castle, duly tried and sentenced at Lent Assizes (12-Mar), reported 18-Mar) and by the end of March they are transported to Hulk Captivity at Portsmouth.
Convoy: Porpoise, Sinclair(with Bligh), Justina, Fortune and Alexander depart 28-Jan-1806, Fortune arriving 12-Jul-1806.
Wife, Ann Smith is given permission to accompany WilliamSmith, so he is among the 15 male convicts on Alexander! No other trace of this Ann Smith, but her request should have made it difficult for William to subsequently remarry.
