Hi Wynette, Look at what I just found after Peter O. kindly sent the Supreme Court records for 1831 showing that death had been recorded against John Jibb. Amazing! Carol. On Monday the following prisoners (who had been tried the week before) were brought up and sentence of death recorded was passed on these seven, viz :- Richard Crozier, John Jubb, John Barker, James M'Donald, John Cockshot, William Brownloe, James Murphy. These five were ordered for execution, viz : - Mathew M'Avoy, and Edward Broughton, (who absconded from Macquarie harbour, with a companion, whom they stated (not on their trials, for they both pleaded guilty) had been killed by the Natives; his Honour in passing sentence exhorted them to repentance, if their consciences were burthened with the crime of murder, which there was much reason to fear was the case, with reference to their unfortunate companion.) Patrick M'Kane, William Taylor and William Jones. - The Hobart Town Courier (Tas.) 9 July 1831 Patrick M'Kone, who had been sentenced to death, and Richard Crozen, John Jubb, John Barker, James M'Donald, John Cockshott, on whom sentence of death recorded had been passed, have had their sentences commuted to transportation for life, and to be sent to Macquarie harbour. William Brownlow, James King, William Taylor and James Murphy, on whom similar sentences had been passed have been sent to the Prisoners' Barracks to, hard labour.
