Valentine Marshall took part in the Nottingham Reform Riots of 1831, and was tried for the "rioting and burning of Colwick Hall”. He was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging, which was later commuted to transportation for life. Extract of a Letter, and a Copy of Verses, written by Valentine Marshall now in Van Diemen’s Land, to his Friends in Nottingham A Letter recently received, written by Valentine Marshall, now in Van Diemen’s Land, to his Friends in Nottingham, states:– “That when I arrived at Hobart Town I was sent about 50 miles up the country, to fill the situation of a shepherd’s boy; in this situation I was comparatively happy, my master being a kind and indulgent man. My good conduct in this situatiion soon gained me the respect of my master, and he kindly endeavoured to obtain a remission of my sentence. I was now sent back to Hobart Town, and became a messenger to the Governor of the jail, which situation I now hold; this change I attribute to the kindness of of Gen. Ferguson, who has interceded in my behalf. My labours in my new place are not very great, and were I not absent from all my friends, I could rest contented. The state of the country is not so promising to settlers as it was when I first arrived, owing, I suppose, to the great number of transports and emigrants which almost daily arrive, in hopes of improving their condition, many of whom be glad to return to England if they could obtain a passage back.” [Nottingham, February, 18, 1834.] There follows poem: Good people give attention, and listen to my tale The truth of my misfortunes, I will quickly reveal being young and foolish, my years just turned sixteen When Judge Littledale did me transport for being on Colwick Green. Etc.
