Convict Notes
OATLANDS CIRCUIT. Tuesday, March 27. The Oatlands Criminal Circuit commenced this morning, His Honor Mr. Justice Montague entered the Court, (accompanied by the new Attorney-General, and Mr. Alfred Montague, Barrister,) at ten o'clock. … Benjamin Petthead [should be Pethard], Daniel Fagan, James Ryan, and Edward Margen [Should be Marvell] were then placed at the bar and indicted for having, on the night of the 10th October, feloniously entered the dwelling-house of one James Murphy, of the district of Swanport, and carried away a quantity of flour, pork, sugar, one powder-flask, one coat, two silk handkerchiefs, trousers, &c. … His Honor briefly summed up, and directed the jury to acquit Ryan, as no evidence had been adduced against him. The jury without retiring found three of the prisoners Guilty, and acquitted Ryan. The Court sentenced them to transportation for their natural life. (Cornwall Chronicle Sat 6 Apr 1844, p. 4.)
had been sentenced to transportation for seven years for the crime of larceny, two convictions, at the Bradford Quarter Sessions. Two months later, in the Swansea area, he was found guilty of disorderly conduct and given three days’ solitary confinement. In March, only three months after his arrival, he was tried for the crime of burglary, which involved stealing a coat valued at twelve shillings and other articles of property from the dwelling of James Murphet. This offence is similar to his original offence of stealing clothes in Bradford. He does not seem to have stolen in huge quantities. Both thefts occurred during a cold season, which makes it tempting to consider that he stole clothing to keep warm, but there are too many unknown factors, so I will not give in to that temptation.
