Convict Notes
Extract from the report on the Cororer’s Inquest, referred to above: “The deceased was thirty-seven years of age at the time of his death. He arrived in this colony as a prisoner by the Lord Lyndoch, in 1833. He is described in the indents as married, and transported at the Glamorgan Assizes, for obtaining money under false pretences. He is further described as " born at sea." He has mentioned to some persons that he was a Scotchman by birth, and to others that he was a native of the North of Ireland. The name in which he was sentenced was that of Alexander M'Donnel.” It is a rather singular circumstance, that while the decease [sic] was under examination in the Will case at the last Circuit Court, the Chief Justice told him that he should not be surprised to hear of his death in a week. The deceased was at that time labouring under extreme nervousness, produced by intemperate habits of long standing."
