Convict Notes
Walter Ewing Taylor, was convicted of forging and uttering two bills, one for £50 and one for £47, was, on March 14 1826 transported for life. National Archives, Scotland: Precognition against Walter Ewing Taylor for the crime of falsehood and forgery at John Street, Glasgow Walter Ewing Taylor, Age: 28, wine and spirit dealer, Address: Wilson Street, Glasgow On board the ship Walter Ewing Taylor, became Superintendent of the hospital and Captain of the first Division (wine merchant age 28); By 30th May the surgeon mentioned that the convicts had become very disorderly and disposed to be mutinous. They became very clamorous to have their irons taken off. The following day the surgeon received a letter from Walter E. Taylor requesting to be sent for as soon as possible. He informed the surgeon that John George Munns had that morning come to him at the hospital very early before the other convicts were out of bed and informed him that there was a conspiracy formed to murder Taylor to prevent his giving any alarm and then to murder the surgeon and all who would not assist to seize the ship and run her into South America. Robert Hughes and Thomas Jones were at the head of it and it was their intention to carry it into effect, the first time the ship was in a squall. The surgeon issued a memorandum for Taylor to give to those convicts he could trust, ensuring the surgeon's protection and best services with the Governor in New South Wales, asking them to be on their guard and to get information to act against the malcontents. Major D'arcy although indisposed at this most crucial time with gout also promised his protection. 17/8/1833: Was in the service of Peter McIntyre at Bathurst/Segenhoe. 29/11/1839: TOL 28/12/1842: TOL Passport – Maitland Bench 19/2/1844: TOL Passport – Brisbane Bench.
