Flora McDonald was tried at the County Antrim Assizes held at Carrickfergus in April 1791, ending 19th April, before the Hon Baron Power. She was found guilty of stealing linen out of a bleach-yard. It appears the jury reduced the value of the cloth they found she had stolen to an amount that avoided her receiving the death penalty Freemans Journal Saturday 23 April 1791 page 4 “Carrickfergus Assizes “FLora McDonald for stealing linen-cloth to the value of 3l, out of the beach-yard of James Leatham: found guilty to the value of 4s 6d,- to be transported for seven years.” Poor Flora was noted as being 50 years old on the indent of the Boddingtons, when it sailed in February 1793. Flora lived only another seven years after arriving in NSW in August 1793. Her burial on 1 October 1800 is recorded in the Burial Register of St Phillips' church, Sydney.
