Convict Notes
Convicts. Last week, the following convicts were removed from the County Gaol in this town, viz. Thomas Last, James Rosier, and William Farthing, for life: and Edward Miller, for seven years; and put on hoard the Leviathan Hulk. On Monday last the following male convicts wore removed from Bury Gaol on hoard the hulks at Portsmouth; Henrv Flack, Jos. Partridge, James MacGregor, and James Hurrell. Suffolk Chronicle, 29 Sep 1821. -------------------------------------------------- Hulk Records: HO-9-8_5 page 8: Arrived from Ipswich, 22 Sep 1821. Thomas Last, age 38, Burglary, tried 31 Mar 1821, at Bury St Edmunds, Life, Sent to NSW 10 Nov 1821.
http://www.bigenealogy.com/suffolk/easton_parish.htm On the night of the 17th October, 1820, the house of Mr. Cotton was broken into by four men, with their faces blacked, who with threats and imprecations, possessed themselves of very considerable property. Their sudden and terrific appearance by the bedside of Mr. Cotton, together with the idea of appearing against them on their trial, made such a deep impression upon his mind, as to depress his spirits, and impair his health, that but little doubt remains that he was thus brought to a premature grave. At the ensuing assizes for this county, Samuel Grimwood, Thomas Last, and James Rozier, were capitally convicted of this burglary, and received sentence of death. Grimwood was executed at Ipswich, April 28, 1821; the others were reprieved for transportation.
