Convict Notes
__________________________ ESTHER's CRIME Esther Latham, aged 22 was tried at the Lancaster Assizes commencing 20 March 1813, for breaking, entering and stealing. She sailed a few months later on “Wanstead”, departing in August 1813, arriving in NSW in January 1814. Lancaster Gazetter, Sat 20 March 1813 p.3 “Lancaster Assizes “The Calendar of Prisoners who are to take their trials at our assizes, which commence this day, before the Hon. Baron Thomason and the Hon Justice Le Blanc, we are sorry to say, contains no less than seventy-three offenders, many of whom are charged with capital offences. They are as follows: “ Esther Latham charged with having broken and entered the dwelling house of Richard Marsh, at Westleigh, and stealing four silver table spoons, and other articles, thereout.” Lancaster Gazetter, Sat 10 April 1813, p 3 “LANCASTER ASSIZES; Crown Side On Saturday morning the Hon Baron Thompson passed sentence on the remainder of the prisoners convicted at these Assizes. Viz, "The following had been sentenced on the day of their trial: ... Esther Latham— seven years transportation" In NSW In NSW Esther Latham was recorded on the ship’s indent as being 23 years of age, and a Cook. In the 1814 Muster, nine months after she arrived, she was listed as a servant to the Governor. Even though a convict, this was a prestigious position, and may have indicated that Esther was a better quality convict. Since she was recorded as a cook, she was probably working as a cook in the Governor’s residence.
