He was also convicted of possession of firearms, as well as being part of a secret Irish agrarian organisation known as The Whiteboys at age 22. He was sentenced to 7 years transportation.

Upon arrival in Australia he was assigned to James Pye at Baulkham Hills and was listed as a ploughman. Bartholomew obtained his Certificate of Freedom on the 31st of May 1839.
