Convict Notes
Henry Rouse (Garrett) left an account of John Price's death when, on 26th March 1857, Price (whom Rouse/ Garrett called "The Demon")visited Williamstown to investigate complaints about rations by convicts who were brought from the Success to Gellibrand Point: "Both gangs knew he had been sent for and were on the watch for his appearance. His fate had already been decided. Several of the men knew what waited them aboard - the Ringbolt, Gag and Bludgeon and flung back into the president (another Hulk moored beside Success) during his pleasure. Death was preference....Death for them was an escape from misery. Their intention had been to lure Price into a tent and hang him over a ridge pole but it did not quite work out that way. The whole quarry of 100 men knew what was going to be done, saw the rope and knew its purpose. All were not to take part but all approved. But out of that 100 surely there is one traitor who for a hope of pardon will warn and save him? not one. According to Rouse the men began shouting on Price's arrival, showing him the mouldy bread they were forced to eat and then began pushing him towards the tent. The officers who were meant to be guarding him abandoned him. By this time Price clearly knew what was happening and managed to run up an embankment, but a stone hit him and when he fell the mob was all over him".
1885, 3rd September, Died i Terrace Gaol, Wellington New Zealand of Bronchitis.
