Convict Notes
The following important extracts we copy from Sydney Gazettes to the 30th ultimo: " From Captain Carns, commander of the ship Neptune, we learn, that he left the ship Harriet, in which Mr. Alexander Riley left the Colony, at the Cape; from whom he has brought 15 male prisoners who had secreted themselves on board the Harriet. Five women were also concealed on board, who are not returned. The male prisoners who had effected their escape from hence in the Harriet, and returned by the Neptune from the Cape, were this day brought before a Bench of Magistrates, and Sentenced to receive one hundred lashes each, and worked in the gaol gang for 12 calendar months. The following is a list of the prisoners' names: Henry Chambers, John Druet, Benjamin Oliver, John Cochrane, Robert Plummer, John Skelton, Patrick Lowry, Nathaniel Ewer, Henry Moore, William Hollady, John Latham, James Quinn, Benjamin Little, Wm, Chapman, Thomas Edwards, and Moses Solomon, a boy. It appeared from a written statement transmitted from the Cape of Good Hope, that the delinquents had not made their appearance for a considerable time after the vessel's departure from hence, although it was known by some of the crew they were on board ; and, but for timely information being given to the commander, the consequences might have been very serious, as it was then represented to have been their intention to take the vessel, after the cargo had been received on board at the Cape, and carry her into South America ; in which design they would very probably have bean aided by seamen and other persons on board ; with which assistance they could scarcely have failed in accomplishing their purpose. The result of this discovery was, that the troops, in concert with the passengers were compelled constantly to keep the deck till they reached the Cape. (Hobart Town Gazette 20 Jun 1818, p. 2)
Transported again; under the name of Joseph Collins per Ship; Medway - 1821 Trial; Middlesex Goal Delivery - 13 September 1820 Ran from the Colony in the Derwent Schooner in 1817
Moses SOLOMON, aged 9 years, was convicted at the Old Bailey Central Court, London - together with other youths Joseph Burrell and John Morris - for break, enter and steal. They entered the dwelling house of Richard Atkinson, a bootmaker, and stole a pair of shoes/boots. They were all found guilty and given the Death sentence. The judge recommended mercy due to their young ages. They were all transported to Australia per the ship 'Maruis of Wellington' arriving 1815 in New South Wales.
