Hi Lesley I am sure most of the women would have been sorry for the incidents that landed them in court, when they were met at the Parramatta Female Factory by Matron Ann Gordon. Listers can read about her on the website Convict Female Factories https://sites.google.com/site/convictfemalefactories/home/parramatta-female-factories---structure-and-staff Apparently she was very firm, but appeared to understand the women and showed a soft side in extracts from letters to her daughter in England..

Six weeks to the third class in the factory. 1 August 1833 WEDNESDAY. -A rara avis. -Sarah Jones was charged by her mistress with being a remarkably good woman, to wit, one whose tongue was so completely rusted, that let whatever question be put no answer could be obtained -" Is the dinner ready," the mistress would say, and Sarah would reply by looking into her face with the most innocent astonishment. The Bench ordered her to try Gordon's anti-corrosion mixture for one month ; the very mention of this appeared to have a wonderful effect, for her tongue immediately loosed, and, like the elements at war, played round the heads of their worships, without the slightest remorse, until the Charleys removed her. 21 June 1832 Mary Joyce' was charged by her master with always running after the men creatures, and spending far more time in dressing her hair, than in the household duties. " Oh, stop, stop, stop," said Mary, " to err is human, to forgive, divine." " Yes, that's all quite correct," said the master, " but you have been forgiven too many times to expect it any more." The Bench sent her under Mrs. Gordon's care for a month. Mary attempted again to spout " the quality of mercy," when she was forcibly muzzled, and carried off. 12 August 1833 Mary Flaherty, with a killing mob cap stuck upon three hairs, and surmounted with large bunches of flaming pink ribbons, that threw an additional tint over her rubicund visage, was charged with attempting to rule her mistress's household with a high hand and a heavy arm, when she thought fit to let it fall, was ordered for these peccadilloes to try Gordon's corrective for one month. 7 November 1833 MONDAY.-Ann Jones, was introduced to that box which has long been the place of high distinction between those who have, and those who have not, the liberty of ad libitum volition. This loquacious nymph, feeling herself quite at home in her old position, placed her head, shoulders, and all other visible points of action, in battle array, and was evidently eager for the fight. Scarcely could she be charged with improper absence, insolence etc .- ere the burden of her song would out. Her mistress was overpowered by Bacchus; she often paid devotion to the wily pouting god, and that therefore, she was not compos mentis to judge of the conduct of Ann, the nymph now in durance vile, that - but here her master's indignity burst forth ; the partner of his fate was not in her "cups;" she never had anything to do with such vessels but at tea time; that she was in ill health, and this insinuation was most foul and scandalous, and - His Worship's penetration decided upon fourteen days repentence at the Penitentiary, near the Government Villa, and Ann was handed off vociferating most naughty epithets. 12 July 1832 Johanna Newland, a stout, portly dame, was charged with taking her drop rather freely -" Oh, mercy, mercy," said Johanna, the Bench replied, she was too old an offender to expect mercy. "Oh, your Worship, 'tis-drawn from the stars and filtered through the skies," no doubt said their Worships, who ordered her to filter the grog out of her system, by a two months' residence in Mrs. Gordon's dripstone. Johanna Finn, "deaf as a post" whenever work was mentioned to her, but as sharp as a needle when desired to retire to rest was ordered to have her ears pricked at Mrs. Gordon's establishment. August 25 1831 Catherine Wyer was charged by her husband, with breaking four pounds worth of crockery, picking his pocket and getting drunk with the proceeds, and divers other scandalous outrages, to the subversion of all domestic economy. The bench sent her to the factory for one month, and Wyer said he would pay to keep her there, as blunt was no object to him. -- Regards Lesley Uebel http://www.claimaconvict.net/index.html CLAIM A CONVICT email: [email protected] ---------------------- To send a message to the Port Jackson Convicts List, send an email to [email protected] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS-reques[email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

THERE WAS ALSO -- Evelyn Pitfield Shirley Sturt 1816--1885, a New South Wales Crown lands commissioner based at Yass in the 1830s who was a brother of the renowned explorer Charles Sturt and later overlanded stock and did some squatting before serving as a magistrate in Melbourne. E.P.S. Sturt was an original commissioner under the 1836 legislation championed by Governor Bourke which introduced a licensing system from 1837 in respect of pastoral occupation of Crown lands beyond "the limits of location" decreed by Governor Darling.

I'm still hoping someone may help me solve the mystery of what became of 16 year old James BYRNE per Augusta Jessie 1840.    James BYRNE born 1825, Dublin who aged 15 in 1839 was sentenced to be transported for 7 years arriving in 1840 on the Augusta Jessie. There was another man by the same name on the ship. I suspect James was one of the 'junior convicts' who the ships surgeon mentions in his journal were offloaded at Sydney before the Augusta Jessie headed to Norfolk Island with the rest.   I have only been able to find a Ticket of Leave no. 1844/1001 issued to James BYRNE in 1844 for the Scone district.  From here the trail goes cold. I have been unable to find a certificate of freedom for him nor have I been able to find him on the index of convicts who died while serving their sentence. He is not the James Byrne who died in 1843 at the Sydney Hospital after an assault. This was James Byrne per King William. He does not appear in the Gov Gazettes for that period either.   The NSW BDM for the period 1844 to 1850 doesn't show a death for him either. There is a burial for a James BURNES in 1847 aged 31 but if this is him then he would [presumably] have served his sentence and should have a cert of freedom.   My reason for researching this fellow is that I am trying to ascertain if he may be 'my' James Byrne whose mother was Esther Byrne 1)GILLAN[and spelling variations aka DILLON] 2)HALL who arrived as a convict per Asia in 1830.   To date I have been unable to find James arrival and I suspect the child mentioned on Esther's convict indent is in fact another son Robert who would later give 'born at sea' as his birthplace. James gives Dublin as his birth place and his death certificate shows the approximate date of 1833 for his arrival.   I have been researching this very complicated family for quite some time and am still hoping to tie up the loose ends. If anyone would like to take a closer look at my research and what I have discovered so far you can do so at my website:   http://lintywhite.com/estherbyrne   There is a link to son James Byrne.   Any suggests regarding the fate of James Byrne per Augusta Jessie would be most appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this long email.   Jenny W [Brisbane]

In 1820 Macquarie was advised that 159 convicts were being sent via the Hebe. James Talbot was included on the muster taken on board on arrival although only his trial date, place and sentence were recorded. Everyone else on that muster had a description, age etc. What I think happened was that all the names of the Indent that came with the Hebe were recorded on that muster to ensure that they noted the correct date of trial and sentence. When Macquarie advised the Sec of State in February 1821 about the arrivals he stated that 158 arrived. So I would say that either he died on board or very shortly afterwards in hospital. Sometimes sick convicts were sent directly to hospital on arrival and their descriptions are missing on the Muster. There was a Suregon on that transport but it appears as though the medical report has not survived.

Hi all, I read every day but it's been quite a while since I've posted. I often following the fate of 'co-conspirators' to my convict ancestors, and am wondering what happened to James TALBOT. I have him in the Prison Hulk Registers and Letter Books: Hulk York, 2807, Jas Talbot, 23 (so b abt 1897), Shop lifting, sentenced Reading 28 Feb 1820, Life, and importantly how disposed of: 12 July 1820 NSW. Two fellow partners-in-crime, Edward Wedge and James Green (of who I know quite a bit) left the hulk at the same time and were transported to NSW on the 'Hebe'. The 'Hebe' departed 27 July 1820 carrying 120 convicts. James Talbot is listed on the 'Transportation Registry' which I access through Ancestry, as being on the 'Hebe'. However his particulars are not in the arrival index and the musters in NSW do not record him, so it is assumed he died en route. I'd like to fill the gap and uncover whether James died en route, or was perhaps removed from the ship prior to voyage (perhaps due to illness for example). Does anyone know whether the Surgeons journal for the Hebe survives? Or perhaps an alternative source exists for deaths en route (for specific ships). Any insight would be greatly appreciated. cheers, matt -- Matthew D. Hall Kensington, MD cell: +1 410 733 9444

Hello, Lesley and Listers -- I will give attention here to a topic of general historical interest. I have decided to submit some remarks about pastoral licensing and leasing laws as a development from references I have seen in an extract from Michael Cannon`s "Who`s Master? Who`s Man?" which Lesley posted on 1st June this year under the heading "Description of Sydney" in response to an enquiry by John and Lyn Read. John and Lyn were asking about living conditions in Sydney in 1838. I have had my attention caught by Mr Cannon`s quoted passages referring to grazing activity in remote areas. In 1838 the water in Sydney`s Tank Stream had long been abandoned as unfit for human consumption. The Tank Stream had lately been superseded by a facility planned in the 1820s by the surveyor and engineer John Busby on behalf of the colonial government. The tunnel known as Busby`s Bore had been carved through sandstone by convicts and brought fresh water from what is now the Centennial Park area to Hyde Park. In other respects, conditions in terms of public health continued to be unsatisfactory. With all due regard to the beautiful harbour and a weather pattern less severe than what was available in the old country, I think it can fairly be said that life in central Sydney in 1838 would have been a problem because of squalor and disease and many people would have had a longing to escape to the suburbs or go bush. I will now mention some legal arrangements ordained in Sydney concerned with matters a long way out of town. The final paragraph of the work Lesley posted on 1st June referred to Governor Bourke`s action in 1836 which had the effect of allowing grazing licences to be issued in respect of Crown lands lying beyond the "Nineteen Counties" which Governor Darling had specified in 1829 as the Colony`s limits of settlement. Governor Darling`s action was referred to in the third-last paragraph. I will point out a difference of form between the 1829 and 1836 measures and have a go at outlining some later developments in the regulation of pastoral occupation of land in New South Wales. The situation seems to have been as follows -- The zone known as "the Nineteen Counties" was also commonly referred to as "the limits of location". In the early 1830s there was some minor enlargement of the limits of location extending beyond "the Nineteen Counties". Governor Darling issued his 1829 prohibition of settlement beyond "the Nineteen Counties" as a directive from his own office without any participation on the part of the Colony`s unicameral parliament the Legislative Council. The minor enlargement of the limits of location in the early 1830s occurred in the same way under the same governor. Governor Bourke`s action in 1836 involved the passing by the Legislative Council of an act under which grazing licences for Crown lands beyond the limits of location were granted from 1837 until the introduction in 1848 of a leasing system authorised by an 1846 act of the London parliament as supplemented by an order in council issued in 1847 by Queen Victoria pursuant to the 1846 act on the advice of the Queen`s ministers. The leasing system introduced in 1848 was eventually superseded by leasing arrangements provided for in the bicameral New South Wales parliament`s Crown Lands Occupation Act 1861.
