Convict Notes
The transcription from the Royal Navy Medical Journal seems to relate to another Elizabeth Smith who arrived on the ship. The word "death" does not appear in the Journal entry of surgeon Thomson in relation to that younger Elizabeth Smith. There is an entry in convict indents stating the younger Elizabeth Died on the Ship. This appears to be an error which may have occurred because after she gave birth she was shifted to the Govt Hospital on shore. The younger Elizabeth married George Noble in 1834. The record of her application for permission to marry Noble includes a notation explaining that her usual particulars had not been recorded on the ship because she was in the Govt Hospital. After Noble died this younger Elizabeth (Betsy) married Edward Mahon in 1843.

THERE ARE TWO CONVICTS OF THIS NAME ON THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL. The following repOrt may apply to this Elizabeth Smith. Elizabeth Smith, an importation by the Earl of Liverpool, who made her first appearance a-shore on Friday last was charged with insolence to her mistress. It appeared that the prisoner was assigned, direct from the ship, to the service of a gentleman in Sydney, to whose house she was sent on the day she landed. In the afternoon she obtained permission of her mistress to go out, on some business of her own, fora limited time, which she exceeded, and on being reprimanded on her return home, told her mistress she was "a-good-for-nothing hussey," and that she (Elizabeth) " knew by the cut of her jib" that the service would not answer her. The Bench sentenced her to the third class in the Factory for three months; at the expiration of which time, perhaps, the 'cut of her jib may be somewhat altered.' Sydney Gazette, 19 April 1831.
