National Records of Scotland Title Precognition against Thomas Connell, William McNicol, Charles McDonald, James Reid, William Moore for the crime of theft by housebreaking Dates 1821 Accused Thomas Connell, Age: 15, calico printer, Anderston, Glasgow, Address: Prisoner in Glasgow, formerly Old Wynd, (Glasgow) William McNicol, unemployed, formerly singer, Address: Prisoner in Glasgow, formerly Stockwell Street, Glasgow Charles McDonald, Age: 16, window cleaner, Address: Prisoner in Glasgow, formerly Old Wynd, Glasgow James Reid, Age: 14, rope worker, Address: Prisoner in Glasgow, formerly Stockwell Street, Glasgow William Moore, Age: 15, tailor, Address: Prisoner in Glasgow, formerly Old Wynd, Glasgow. Thomas Connell arrived per 'Lord Hungerford 1821' to VDL. William McNicol arrived per 'Eliza 1822' to NSW. Charles McDonald and James Reid arrived per 'Richmond 1822' to VDL Colonial Secretary Papers: MOORE, William. Per "Guildford", 1822 1822 Jul 24: On list of convicts landed from the "Guildford" and forwarded to Windsor for distribution (Reel 6009; 4/3506 p.75[ii]) 26/7/1826 Sydney Gazette: William Moore, Guildford (5), life, stood charged with having in his possession, knowing the same to be stolen, a green cloth coat, the property of Anthony Jonquay, of Windsor. The prisoner was formerly the Government servant of Jonquay, and had many a time brushed the said coat, and had a perfect knowledge of the shape, make, and condition thereof; he had been spoken to about replacing three buttons required thereon. It had undergone, while in his custody, certain disfiguration since it had left Jonquay's premises, under the experience of Moore, who is a tailor, and it was intended soon to appear before the world's eye in the shape of a jacket. Moore had lately performed a kind office, by escorting his late master from a public-house, on which occasion he had amply remunerated himself, by taking away the coat, in question, after carefully performing other little acts of seeming kindness towards his late master. The identity of the fact was fully made out by the owner, describing a particular mark in the sleeve thereof, which was subsequently discovered thereon; and a Court of General Session found the prisoner guilty. Sentenced 3 years to a penal settlement.
