Convict Notes
Liverpool, Monday.— This morning, in consequence of information having been received that the Captain Ross has arrived with prisoners from Quebec, a great number of persons were congregated on the St. George's Pier. The Captain Ross anchored in Bootle Bay, and a steamer was sent out to bring back the convicts, who arrived about four o'clock, and were immediately conveyed to the Liverpool Borough Jail. A desperate attempt was made to mutiny during the passage home, but it was happily frustrated by the determination of Captain Morton, who placed the whole of the prisoners in heavy irons.
