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 Kingswood.

Convicts transported to Port Macquarie within these dates are listed under the heading of 'Colonial Sentence' so that the reader may distinguish between any other date of transportation to Port Macquarie, as many convicts were sent to and from the Settlement.

All care and accuracy has been taken whilst transcribing from available documentation at the time of publication, and are transcribed as per original. "Written as" refers to records that differ in spelling etc.

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; Listed also John McGuiness, Cornelius Callaghan, James Bennett

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; Listed also John McGuiness, Cornelius Callaghan and James Bennett

State Records NSW Reel 6059 4/1773 Sydney 30th November 1825 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. Signed James Hunter Surgeon R.N.

The Sydney Gazette 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!

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

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.

National Archives UK Reference ADM 101/38/2/3 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.

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.

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 the Limeburners Station by two persons supposed to be runaways from Port Macquarie. 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 upper settlements. Signed Captain Henry Gillman

To Frederick Goulburn Esquire Colonial Secretary Sydney

131

County of Northumberland 16th 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. Signed Richard Stack X His Mark

Taken and acknowledged before me at the Court House at Newcastle this Sixteenth Day of January 1824

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.

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”.

The Sydney Gazette 26th January 1826 January 17th, Anne Lang, prisoner of the Crown, charged with having stolen from her mistress in whom she was an assigned servant, several articles of wearing apparel and other goods, from a chest and which she had concealed under a sofa in another room. It certainly appeared that her mistress has given her a promise that if the prisoner would inform her where she had secreted the articles so that they might be recovered, she would forbear any prosecution, but as there were several other articles of value stolen at the same time and not forthcoming and the case upon the whole presenting same aggravated features the Bench directed the prisoner to be removed to a penal settlement for 3 years
