Convict Notes
Norfolk Island Commandant's orders for 31 March 1835 state that the colonial sentence for "Thomas Reilly" per "Hy Porcher" had expired, and that he was to leave Norfolk Island on the next sailing of the Isabella. This was probably on 29 April 1835. There is not sufficient information to tell which Thomas Reilly per Henry Porcher this information applies to.
