Convict Notes
The National Archive, Settlers And Convicts, New South Wales And Tasmania Refs HO 10/61 P255 and HO 10/40 (entry no. 20804) say James was convicted at Stafford in 1844 and given a Ticket of Leave upon arrival. On 4 January 1845, The Staffordshire Advertiser reports on page 2: A Receiver of Stolen Property Transported JAMES PHILLIPS was indicted for stealing a quantity of leather and other articles, at Burton-on-Trent, the property of Thomas Redfern. REUBEN ARCHER was charged with receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. Phillips pleaded guilty. Mr CORBETT conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. NEALE defended Archer. The property in question was stolen from the prosecutor’s shop, who is a shoemaker, at Burton-on-Trent. The two prisoners are also shoemakers, and a portion of the stolen property was found concealed in Archer’s house. There were several other indictments against Phillips for stealing, and Archer for receiving with a guilty knowledge, which were not proceeded with. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against Archer, and the Court sentenced both prisoners to be severally transported for the term of seven years.
