Convict Notes
At Berwick-on-Tweed, on the 23d ult. John William, and James Taylor, were found guilty of sheep-stealing. John Taylor was the father of the two prisoners, and appears to have had a pension from the Crown. As soon as the Jury returned their verdict, the Recorder passed sentence death on the prisoners the most solemn manner, after which the Justices issued their warrant, to carry the sentence into execution on the 23d instant. Hampshire Chronicle, 4 Feb 1822. The sentences of the prisoners who were left by the recorder of Berwick, to be executed for sheep stealing, have been commuted on the following condition, viz. —John Taylor, the father, to be transported for life; William Taylor, transportation for seven years; and James Taylor, to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years.

The Cornwall Chronicle of 4 April 1846 shows that William and John Taylor (Prince of Orange) sailed on the Minerva from VDL to Portland Bay., Victoria. No reference is given for the death of John Taylor at New Norfolk in 1831 and without further evidence I think it is imprudent to accept the date of John's death as 1831 in the previous entry.
