After receiving his Ticket of Leave, he went to New Zealand, arriving on the Arachne at Port Nicholson on the 7th of October 1842. On the 7th of April, 1843, he was tried in the Wellington Supreme Court for breaking into Mr Lyon’s store and stealing tea, prints, ribbon, and sugar. He was transported to Van Diemen’s Land on the Portenia in 1843 under sentence of 10 years. While in the Wellington Gaol, he absconded and got across the Harbour before being apprehended by "friendly" Maori there.
