being transported to Port Macquarie Penal Settlement a second place of punishment within the time
frame of September 1825 to April 1829, listing their name, ship of arrival to Port Jackson Sydney,
Indent information and the ship of transportation to Port Macquarie.
For anybody requiring further information on any convict there are more records available for
research in the Port Macquarie-Hastings Library and at the State Records of New South Wales at

Piracy of the Brig Wellington
The Sydney Gazette
10th
February 1827
The brig “Wellington”, belonging to Mr Joseph Underwood,
which was Carrying prisoners to Norfolk Island, with the notorious
Anthony Best, and others criminals on board, when within two days
sail of her destination, was piratically captured by the convicts – the
captain, crew, and troops made prisoners – and Mr Buchanan, the
engineer, had his head laid opened with a musket. As soon as the
vessel was in their possession the pirates made for New Zealand,
where it providentially happened that the “Sisters” was lying at
anchor off the Bay of Islands. We hear that an action commenced
between the pirates and the whaler, which lasted for six hours, in
which two of the former were killed. Captain Duke then went on board
with a flag of truce, and declared if they did not surrender he would
bear down upon them, assisted with 200 or 300 natives, and put every
man to death. This had the effect, and the pirates surrendered. Some of
them however made their escape on shore, but by means of the
extraordinary exertions of Captain Duke, assisted by the natives, the
whole were soon retaken. The following is a list of the gang which
have been brought back to Sydney on the “Sisters” – the remainder
being on board the “Wellington”, which was off the heads yesterday
evening late, having Anthony Best on board;

To Wit,
John Britton per “Minerva” and assigned Govt. Servant to
Messrs Berry & Wollstoncraft Deposith and sayith that of late since
the potatoes have got ripe the Natives have been very numerous which
compelled John Stuart Overseer to have them watched – Stewart
himself was in the habit of watching generally but he being unwell on
the night of the 26th
February he ordered Deponent to watch, at the
same time gave orders to shoot any of them if found stealing the
potatoes – for a long time previous blank shot had been fired to
intimidate them, but it had no effect, they said it was all “gammon”.
About 9 o’clock of the night of the 26th
February deponent was
waiting lying concealed among the Corn about a yard from the
potatoes deponent saw three of them lying between the drills stepped
out to the potatoes and said “I have you now” two made off for the
corn and the other made off to the river with a net partly full of
potatoes; seeing him carry off what he, Deponent supposed to be
potatoes, fired at him, the Native fell being wounded in the Chest and
Thigh. Deponent sung out for the Overseer, he came up to him and
saw the man with a net partly full of potatoes; the man was afterwards
kindly treated, but died this morning.

Piracy of the Brig Wellington The Sydney Gazette
10th
February 1827
The brig “Wellington”, belonging to Mr Joseph Underwood,
which was Carrying prisoners to Norfolk Island, with the notorious
Anthony Best, and others criminals on board, when within two days
sail of her destination, was piratically captured by the convicts – the
captain, crew, and troops made prisoners – and Mr Buchanan, the
engineer, had his head laid opened with a musket. As soon as the
vessel was in their possession the pirates made for New Zealand,
where it providentially happened that the “Sisters” was lying at
anchor off the Bay of Islands. We hear that an action commenced
between the pirates and the whaler, which lasted for six hours, in
which two of the former were killed. Captain Duke then went on board
with a flag of truce, and declared if they did not surrender he would
bear down upon them, assisted with 200 or 300 natives, and put every
man to death.
This had the effect, and the pirates surrendered. Some of them
however made their escape on shore, but by means of the
extraordinary exertions of Captain Duke, assisted by the natives, the
whole were soon retaken.
The following is a list of the gang which have been brought
back to Sydney on the “Sisters” – the remainder being on board the
“Wellington”, which was off the heads yesterday evening late, having
Anthony Best on board;

of October last. It appeared in evidence that the
deceased was a man employed by Mr John Raine of Parramatta, in the
capacity of carter. The deceased's employer having purchased a
quantity of green stuff in conjunction with a Mr Walker for the use of
horses, deceased went to where the property was being distributed.
Here he though some injustice was shewn to his master in the
distribution of the load of fodder, and accordingly informed the
prisoner of the circumstances; the later thereupon became outrageous
– a quarrel ensued between the parties, and at length caused a fight,
during which the prisoner Nicholl struck deceased a violent blow on
the neck, which felled him to the ground. He was conveyed to the
hospital a short time afterwards and expired on the following morning,
from which the effects of the blow given by the prisoners. Nicholl was
wholly unacquainted with deceased and had struck him a blow whilst
in the act of retreating from the other prisoner. The jury found both
prisoners guilty of manslaughter. The prisoner Challiner was
sentenced to be transported for the term of two years, and the other for
four years.

Sir,
With regard to the deposition of Joseph Challinor at Windsor
respecting money that had been placed in my possession in England, I
beg leave to state, that when I had last left Sydney, Exchange was at
Par & I had no reason to suppose that any change had taken place.
Having charge of various sums from half a crown to ₤40 all mixed
together and belonging to persons of such a description, it was likely
that a great portion of it might be bad and to receive which at Sydney
each might object and say his money originally deposited was good
and that I must in such case make it good. I made use of the money in
England and drew a Bill on my arrival both for my own expenses and
to give each his due.
Joseph Challinor came to me some time after and said he
found be should have had in Dollars more than I had paid him. I
enquired immediately about the nature of the demand and by Capt.
Piper’s advice paid him what he required, his receipt for which I beg
leave to enclose herewith, and since which I have heard nothing more
on the subject.

Inquest on Sarah Allen
2nd
June 1825
On Sunday last an Inquest was held on the body of Sarah Allen
(or Hellen), who met her death on Saturday night last, in consequence
of a quarrel between her and her intended husband, Wm. Chapman, -
It appeared Chapman was drinking in the Green Man Public-house
that night where the deceased followed him about 8 o‘clock; when
Chapman (being offended with such liberty) abused the unfortunate
creature in a very foul language; - knocked her down, and kicked her
while down; - the unfortunate woman was ultimately conveyed home in
a wheel-barrow, in a dying state, as from the injuries received she was
unable to walk home, on Sunday morning the poor woman was a
corpse. It would seem that the deceased came by her death in
consequence of the effusion of blood from a kick given by Chapman, in
the heat of passion caused by her following him to the Public-house.
The Inquest sat until 4 o’ clock, and after viewing the body, and the
scene where the quarrel originated (the Green Man), a Verdict was
returned to the effect following; - “Deceased met her death in
consequence of blows, and ill-treatment received from William
Chapman”. – Query. Is he not to be tried for such brutality!

Sir,
The Brig “Endeavour” now proceeds to Newcastle for a cargo
of Coals and Cedar on account of Government.
By this vessel seven men and five women prisoners are
embarked pursuant to their Expired sentences to be employed in the
usual way at the settlement under your command.
For their names and sentences, refer you to the accompanying
list being a copy of that furnished by the Jailor. Four of the Men
Prisoners – James Cobb Isaac Walker Edward Sawyer and William
Gray, being Capitally convicted, and sentenced to be hanged by the
last Court of Criminal Jurisdiction now have the Royal Mercy
extended to them both by His Excellency the Governor on the
condition of them remaining prisoners for Life and to be employed at
hard labor - but not withstanding this extension of Mercy to them they
are dangerous and very desperate Ruffians and will require to be most
strictly looked after and loathed, for the better security of these four
men. Prisoners it is the Governors minutes that you should have them
wrought with double irons on them.
The Governor feels much regret at the conduct of the piratical
of the Sloop “Speedwell ” which however could not have taken place if
the master and men on board of her had duly attended to their duty
and to their Port regulations- It will now be particularly in cumbered
on you to keep a very strict watch on the conduct of the prisoners so as
to guard against any future attempt of the same kind and you will
please to instruct the masters of vessels sending to the Coal River to be
more vigilant and attentive to their duty.
Until further orders you are to retain the Blacksmith to
perform the necessary work of the Gov’t not withstanding that the
period of his sentence to Newcastle may have expired at the present
time neither a wheeler or a nailer can be spared from hence, you must
78
of course do the best you can with the present Old Wheelwright and
get nails made by the Blacksmith.
Orders have been given to the master boat builder to
commence the building of some useful boats for the service with them.
By the present opportunity the Company is instructed to lend
them some powder and shot for the six pounder and also some other
items for the use of the settlement.
The Petition of Hugh Byrne lately submitted by you is now
returned to you herewith, the Governor having expressed his answer
of refusal on the back of it.
I have the Honor to be
Sir

Surgeons Journal, Wounded Convicts per “John Barry”
Thomas Coyle and Patrick Duffy
Folios 15-16: Patrick Duffy, aged 36, Convict; disease or hurt,
multiple wounds from a musket shot. Put on sick list, 18 August 1821.
Discharged 4 October 1821. The soldier’s muskets were loaded with
single bullets, one of which presumably divided on passing through
one of the uprights surrounding the hatchway producing several
wounds. Duffy had a piece lodged deep in his left forearm, without
damaging the bones, and two pieces in his left buttock. There was
another wound over the middle of the 8th
rib on the left side, passing
under the integuments almost to the spine. Some woollen stuff and a
small piece of lead were extracted from the wound on his hip, a piece
of lead and some bedding from the wound on his side. The fragment
assumed to be lodged in his arm was not removed.
Folio 16: Thomas Coyle aged 22, Convict; disease or hurt,
musket wound of the left shoulder, about two inches above the clavicle.
Put on sick list, 18 August 1821. Discharged 20 September 1821. A
single bullet entered the left shoulder about two inches above the
centre of the left clavicle and passed downwards and forwards over
the clavicle, without injuring the ribs, and lodged under the
integuments about two inches above the left nipple. The flattened
musket ball was extracted from the pectoral muscle on 11 September,
no extraneous material was found with it.
Folio 13: 10 November 1821, the prisoners and guard landed,
all in good health. The Surgeon reported to the Lieutenant Governor
the incident of 18 August, the guards good behaviour since, his
promise to the prisoners to not forward any complaints against them
and the fortunate recovery of the wounded men. His intention of
prosecuting Leary was put aside on the prospect of gaining some
indulgence for the wounded men and other considerations. Only two
cases worthy of special notice occurred during the voyage and they
are detailed in the next pages of the journal, together with lists of
provision s expended. Remaining provisions are to be landed in a few
days and the ship discharged from Government service.

Sydney New South Wales
20th
December 1821
Sir,
The wounded men were John Duffy and Thomas Coyle, they
behaved well on board the ship, both before and after the accident
happened – Dr Trevor the Inspector of Prisoners in Ireland, informed
me that many contradictions had been held on Duffy’s arm before his
sentence was confirmed some doubts having arisen regarding the
degree of his guilt – he is a weak and sickly man, and his wound has
almost disabled his left hand and forearm with the circumstance of
Thomas Coyle’s life previous to embarkation in the “John Barry” I am
some acquainted – I would beg leave in consideration of the various
injury they both received to recommend those men to your
Excellency’s indulgent in view of their cases.

Matter of Interest The Place of Banishment – Port Macquarie 1818-1832
The severity of corporal punishment appears to have increased
after the end of the military command in 1832. During the
administration on Benjamin Sullivan, Resident Magistrate, little mercy
was shown for convict John Dillon, who was serving an eighteen
months’ sentence in the Iron Gang. The Bench sentenced him to 100
lashes for refusing to work which was so different from Allman’s time,
when Lachlan Macquarie decreed: In no case must more than 50
lashes be inflicted on any man, whatever his crime may be. On leaving
the dock, Dillon struck William Wilson, Superintendent of Convicts, a
violent blow on the face, cutting flesh and causing a great contusion.
Dillon was immediately recalled to the dock and sentenced to another
100 lashes. The scourger, John Roach, was busy. His salary was eight-
pence a day for the first year, and raised to one shilling a day there-
after until granted a Ticket of Leave. Sullivan suggested that Roach
might be open to bribery.

Police Report
Timothy Flanagan, Bernard Batten and John Ogden, three
runaways from Port Macquarie, were next placed at the bar. The
prisoners were apprehended in the bush and confessed that they had
absconded from Port Macquarie. Ogden, who is a native of the
Colony, under a Colonial sentence for three years, stated that his
reason for running was in order that he might be sent to some other
settlement, in consequence of the hardships he had endured at Port
Macquarie, from the tyranny of prisoner overseer who, he averred to
gain favour with their superiors, would swear any man’s life away.
Flanagan pleaded that he was free, his original sentence having
expired while serving that passed on him by a Bench of Magistrates in
Sydney, who had sent him to a penal settlement for a limited time, by
which was not stated to be in addition to his original sentence.
Ogden and Batten were directed to be forwarded to Port
Macquarie to be dealt with there; and with respect to Flanagan, the
Bench signified their intention to submit his case for opinion of the
Attorney General.

Sir,
Richard Stack respecting an outrage committed last night at

I have despatched a party on pursuit and I have every reason
to hope they will be apprehended by them, or by the police at the

January 1824
Regarding the declaration of Richard Stack a Prisoner of the
Crown, in charge of the Limeburners Station, states; I was placed at
the Limeburners to take care of the buildings there sometime since, no
person resides there except myself. I had a musket and ammunition
allowed me to protect myself from the natives and Bushrangers, last
night about eight o’clock after I had been in bed and was asleep. I was
awoke by a crackling which I immediately ascertained to be caused by
the cottage being on fire, I went and opened the door and was instantly
knocked down by two men, who afterwards beat me as I lay on the
ground and cut my head in two places, they then stripped me of my
clothes, and tied me hands and feet, they cooked some provisions I
had, and after their meal, they sat by the fire till morning without
sleeping, about six o’clock they departed, taking with them the musket
and ammunition, also my blankets, all my provisions and clothes,
leaving me quite naked after their departure I contrived to loosen my
hands from the cords with which they were bound, and then untied my
feet; from their conversation during the night I understood they were
runaways from Port Macquarie I never saw the men before, but should
know them again, they seemed to be rather exhausted from their
journey, but were both stout men.

Sir,
Shortly after I assumed the command of the Settlement, the men
mentioned in the margin affected their escape, having previously
committed several Robberies and other depredations and as it has
come to my knowledge, that they are now at Newcastle exulting in
having so escaped punishment for these offences – I have therefore the
honor to request you will be pleased to order their removal to this
Station
Independent of the robberies and desertion of which I
complain, there were other circumstances which make it more
desirable their conduct should not be looked over, as one of them (A.
Hayes) was Overseer of the Gang to which the other men belonged,
and took with them the Gov.t Musket and ammunition that were placed
in his charge by Mr Scott, Superintendent of the Plantation and I
consider his being brought back will be a check upon similar conduct
from the other Overseers.

November, a cloth pelisse, value 50s. the property of Joseph James
Long, in the dwelling house.
Edward Williams. I am shopman to Mr Joseph James Long, in the
Minories. On the 8th
of November, in the evening I stood behind the
counter in the shop, I saw the prisoner rush out of the shop; he had
taken a pelisse that stood on the horse, two yards inside the shop. I ran
to the door and called stop thief, I saw the prisoner running across the
street, I pursued him towards Aldgate, he crossed the Aldgate and
proceeded towards Church Ally, I called stop thief and two gentlemen
stopped him, the constable came and took him to the watch-house.
Q. Did you lose sight of him – A. I did. I am certain he is the same
man, he dropped the pelisse about six yards from the shop.
Francis Kinnersley. I was going down the Minories, I heard the cry of
stop thief. I pursued the prisoner until two gentlemen stopped him. I
took him into custody. This is the pelisse.
Joseph James Long. It is my pelisse, I live at No. 147, Minories. I keep
the house, the pelisse is worth fifty shillings.
Prisoners Defence. I was going along the Minories, it began to rain
very hard, which compelled me to take shelter in the prosecutor’s
house and when I was about thirty yards from the house, a young man
passed me going towards the house calling stop thief, he then came
and seized me. I know nothing of the charge. I am a taylor by trade, he
cannot say that I was seen to steal, nor was any property found on me.
Guilty – aged 17 of stealing to the value of 39s. only – Transported for

Matter of Interest: hhp://www.myancestorsstory.com/shiplist_15.html
March 1825 the brig “Mercury” entered Whangaroa Harbour
eager for supplies, but the ship was quickly boarded and over run by
local Maori. The New Zealanders stayed on board all night, much to
the dismay of the fear filled crew. The next day William White from the
missionary station boarded “Mercury” and managed to persuade
some of the Maori to leave before going back ashore himself.
“Mercury’s” captain, desperate to get out, began towing to sea, but
the remaining Maori attacked and the captain and crew fled in the
ship’s jolly and whaleboats.
Missionary White again boarded “Mercury” where he found
the ship’s mate, cook and steward. When the Maori had finally left the
ship White tried to help the men get “Mercury” out to sea but she was
in such a state that they had to abandon her and return to Whangaroa
in White’s boat.
“Mercury’s” survivors where taken to the Bay of Islands
where they were given passage back to Sydney on “Polkington”.

were several other articles of value stolen at the same time and not
forthcoming and the case upon the whole presenting same aggravated

Honored Sir,
I am authorised by his Reverence Mr Middleton, to address
you by letter, respecting a young female that I am about to be married
to.
I am a prisoner that holds the situation of a Constable in
Newcastle. Consequently I am entitled to several indulgences that
other people are not, I was called in church 3 times to be married but I
was prevented in so doing on account of a person who is called John
Smith, a Settler at Newcastle who, although, I was called in church to
be married, under a pretence that the said marriage was Illegal, said
that the person whom I was to be married to, was in another name, on
account of her the servant stating that her mothers maiden name was
Catherine Innis. But your Honor, her real name is Catherine Donnelly
arrived per Ship “Almora”, Boyd Master, and the aforesaid John
Smith a Settler at Newcastle wants to prevent our Union under
supposed Circumstances.
It has been proved to the satisfaction of every one and the
public of this place that she is not a married woman at the same time
he the said John Smith, her Employer Done all he could to prevent our
union. In consequence of the sham outcry that John Smith her master
makes use of to prevent our Union the Rev. Mr Middleton of this place
has authorised me to ascertain her real name from your Honor’s
208
Books, and that you will be so kind as to transmit to Rev. Mr
Middleton from your Books, her proper name, as is all that is wanting
to consummate our marriage.
From Sir, with all due respects your most obedient servant,
