Herring, it appeared, arrived on these shores about eighteen months since - was tried in Edinburgh about two years ago, on suspicion of having been in some way concerned in robbing the Stirling Mail Coach, a few months previously; but, from want of proof, Counsel, who were retained on his behalf, submitted there was no case made out against him; and he was discharged. It however appearing, on some subsequent information, that he was a returned trans- port from this Colony before the expiration of his term of exile, the man was drafted to the hulk, and subsequently here. On his arrival, he was said to have boasted of being in the possession of 2000l., in cash and other property; which, coming to the ears of the Principal Superintendent of prisoners, the man was peremptorily desired to deliver up this entire sum; and it was accordingly deposited in the Bank. Since that time, information of the above robbery reaching the knowledge of the Government, together with the circumstance of the prisoner having been accused of the offence, it was deemed advisable to cause some enquiry, as to the man's' possession of so large a sum of money. Besides the 2000l., a variety of valuable jewelry has been found in his possession. The particulars relative to this enquiry are intended to be forwarded to the proper authority in England. It is rumored also, that the prisoner has twice escaped from the Colony...... 1837 - Bank Accounts of Convicts. Convict Bank Balances, Henry herring. Ship; Minstrel.

Henry Moore and Henry Herring were indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of James Sloane, at a place called the Sheet of Bark near Bathurst, on the 29th July, one Samuel Mashee being therein put in bodily fear. A second count charged a larceny. The prisoners were runaway convicts and robbed a hut at a sheep station. Mashee the hut-keeper who was at a distance when the robbery was begun ran up but was prevented from entering the house, by one of the prisoners who presented a pistol at him. Under these circumstances His Honor said the capital part of the charge, robbing in a dwelling-house and putting a person therein in fear, had failed.
