A quick look at the life of William Randall. William Randall was transported to new South Wales in 1829, aged 19 years, he was a mason by trade. He had been let off in England early 1829 for stealing a handkerchief and then convicted on 13 July 1829 for stealing a pair of trousers, he was convicted and sentenced to life. William's wife Elizabeth came free, I think? They had 6 daughters and one son, they had always lived around the Binalong area. The only child to cause any trouble was their son. In 1879 the Mr. Gibson who was a witness at the trial was William and Elizabeth Randall's Son-In-Law whom lived close by. The granddaughter age unknown however, was under the age of 10 years. Their son John Randall was a problem, at the age of 16 years: At the Circuit Court, Yass, 1872 charged with horse stealing acquitted,; at the Binalong Court, in 1878, charged with illegally using a horse, six months in Yass gaol; 24 July 1879, at the Yass Sessions, convicted of horse stealing, sentenced to 18 months, Yass gaol; in 1879 escaped from Yass gaol, and upon being re-captured in 1881 sentenced to 15 months Yass; gaol in October 1884 , charged with assault at the Yass Assises, convicted and sentenced to 18 months in Yass gaol. I won't say anymore but he was later charged with attempted Murder and sentenced to life imprisonment and many years later was released. Regards Rhonda.
