Convict Notes
Colonial Secretary Index. MURPHY, Patrick. Per "Isabella", 1822 1822 Mar 14 On list of convicts landed from the "Isabella" and forwarded to Airds for distribution (Reel 6009; 4/3505 p.12) 1822 Mar 30 On list of convicts victualled for two days by Thomas Reddall, commencing 16 Mar 1822 (Reel 6054; 4/1758 p.22)
Doc dated 1825. On lists of convicts employed by William Lawson; Details from Doc: Patrick Murphy, per Isabella, employed from March 1822. Killed by the natives July 1824. Robt Quinby, per Brampton, employed from 25 April 1823. Killed by the natives, July 1824. It appeared he was one of three men employed by Lawson, killed on the same occasion: Thomas Vickers per Larkins. Robt Quinby, per Brampton. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Sydney Gazette reported, 5 Aug 1824: Further intelligence from the Bathurst country furnishes a most distressing aspect from the continued atrocities of the black natives. Mr Lawson, who is a Magistrate, while holding the Commandancy of the Settlement of Bathurst, behaved in the most kind and conciliatory way regarding the mountain tribes, and was supposed, in return, to enjoy their good will, and be without the reach of their ingratitude and treachery ; but recent lamentable instances demonstrate the contrary. Mr. Lawson, some time ago, lost four men, who were cut off by the savages; and, very lately, three others have also fallen victims to aboriginal barbarity. They are not unacquainted with the horrible art of scalping, for the skins of those poor men were completely torn over the face, and the bodies otherwise exhibited a most frightful sight. Two hundred and fifty fine sheep were also killed, the property of a Gentleman who had been proverbially kind to them.
