Colonial Secretary's Papers. 25 Jan 1825. Col. Secretary’s Office. To His Excellency, Sir Thomas Brisbane, Governor of New South Wales, ... Sir, Your Excellency having required further explanation from me on the enclosed case, I have the honor to acquaint you that John Teague arrived at Port Jackson in the year 1804 on board the ship Coromandel, a prisoner for life. Shortly after his disembarkation he escaped from this Colony, but was returned in the year 1811 under the assumed name of John Willson in the Ship Admiral Gambier with a fresh sentence for Life. The circumstances that attended his obtaining a Conditional Pardon; The accompanying letter from Mr Joseph Ward details. He was indulged after this with a Grant of Land; Cultivating which he continued to reside thereupon, under the protection of his Conditional Pardon until last Muster; when Mr Throsby took this from him, giving him notice that he was to consider himself as a Prisoner at large until his Harvest had been reaped, when he would be returned into the employment of Government; that active Magistrate stated being of opinion that two such Indulgences lavished on a Convict under as second sentence could not have been obtained but by some artful keeping out of the sight of the late Governor the last conviction of John Teague. I have the honor to be , Sir, Your Excellency’s Most Obedient and Humble Servant, F. Goulburn.
