Convict Notes
Exeter, Wednesday 12 March.  Robt. Woodley for stealing 2 sacks of barley flour,.... Exeter Flying Post, 13 March 1817.
Journal of Surgeon William McDonald onboard Larkins from 7 June 1817 "Folio 13: 19 August 1817; Last night in the prison some of the convicts (unknown) beat Robert Woodley, convict, about the head in a very severe manner giving him black eyes and a swelled face. This morning two persons have been pointed out by him as people who always banter and threaten him in the day time and are out in confinement by means of a chain fastened to the irons on their legs and the other end of it to a ring on the deck. "Folio 14: 20 August 1817; All the prisoners were turned upon deck to see the punishment inflicted on Robert Yates and William Beacham, convicts, who were confined yesterday for beating Woodley. Each of these men were punished with 3 dozen lashes with a cat of nine tails in the same manner as punishment inflicted in the navy."
Robert Woodley was assigned to his wife, Elizabeth, who came free aboard the ship 'Providence' in 1821. The Woodleys' household (Gloucester St, near the intersection of Cumberland St) comprised four male convict and ex-convict servants and lodgers, as well as their own three children. By 1828 the Woodleys, who were bakers, lived in Pitt Street. Source: 'The Rocks: Life in early Sydney' by Grace Karskens.
