Convict Notes
Liverpool Mail Lancashire, England 25 Aug 1855: William Whitehead, 22, was indicted for having, at Salford, on the 24th July last, feloniously assaulted Samuel Cartwright, and robbed him of eighteenpence. Mr. Hopwood was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Wheeler defended the prisoner. The Prosecutor stated that between ten and eleven o'clock on the night of the 24th July he was passing over the Victoria Bridge, in Salford, when he was attacked by the prisoner, who knocked him down and then rifled his pockets. He saw the prisoner's face distinctly, and said "Oh, Whitehead, is that you? If would rather have given it to you." The prisoner then ran away. He saw him enter the Red Lion vaults, and, following with a police-officer, he gave him into custody. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to 15 years' transportation. William was 24 years old on arrival, semiliterate, 5'4½" tall, dark brown hair, dark hazel eyes, fresh complexion, stout, dislocated first joint left forefinger. 21/6/1859: TOL 21/3/1862: CP 1874: Married Margaret McGuire at Albany, WA.
