Convict Notes
The Pusine Judge having recommended Charles Carter, per Caledonia, and William Owen, per-Georgiana, both holding Tickets-of-Leave, to favourable consideration for their meritorious con-duct in attacking and endeavouring to apprehend three runaway convicts with armed bludgeons, who attacked, and beat the said Charles Carter and William Owen, on the King's highway, and, for rescuing a quantity of property which the runaways had burglariously and feloniously stolen from the stores of Dr. Gorringe at the Green Ponds on the night of the 1st January last. The Lieutenant Governor, with a view of stimulating other convicts to similar meritorious conduct, has been pleased to grant a Free Pardon to Charles Carter, and Conditional Pardon to William Owen.
William was also a constable and then a fisherman. He and eldest son, William (20yrs) were drowned near Southport, Tas in April 1861, when their fishing boat, 'Terror', went down in heavy seas and wreckage was found at South Bruny Island.
