Petty Crime:
Although there are a few severe cases, it is amazing to read of the pettiness of the court processes of the time. Most crimes were for stealing shawls, hankies and other items of clothing. Food and other small items were also on the pilfer list. Life sentences were given in bad cases or if a convict had been in trouble before, even a previous sentence of ten days for drunk could get a convict an extra seven years transportation. The more serious crimes like murder and manslaughter were few and far between and were usually dealt with on the Gibbet.
Highway robbery was automatically a life sentence and although much more prevalent than killings they also, were in the minority. Most life sentences were for second offenders, one young man received life for stealing some corn only because he had been jailed for 6 months on a previous occasion. The very young were not spared stiff sentences. Children as young as 11 years, were sent to the colonies. One 15-year-old lad in the above list, received 10 years for stealing a shirt. It is hoped that he survived the ordeal and found his way home to his family.
Special notations.
* The father of these two young brothers, Richard Berresford, arrived in Australia as a convict in
1822.
* John Brown went by the alias Edward Speechley in his short career as a highwayman.
* John Davis had already been to Australia. He had been given a term of seven years in 1824 and
was transported aboard the ‘Princess Charlotte’ which arrived at Hobart in that year. One can only
assume that he must have enjoyed the first experience.
*Charles Evans had also been previously transported to Australia, he came as a free child with his mother aboard the ‘Friendship’ in 1818. His real name was Bernard Duffey and his father had the same name when he also was transported for life aboard the ‘Shipley’ in 1817. It easy to see how traumatized families were when separated. It seems obvious that the mother committed a crime one-year after the father was sent out for life, bringing the 15-year-old Charles with her. The young Bernard [Charles Evans] Duffey went back to England when old enough and took a partner or married while there. He stole a snuffbox to get his ticket back to Australia and it would be fascinating to know if his wife and two daughters were able to join him.
‘HINDOSTAN’ [2nd voyage] Built 1819 at Whitby. Wood ship of 445 Tons. She carried 179 female convicts to Hobart and had one death en-route. She departed London on the 9th of May 1839 and arrived at Hobart on the 12th of December 1839. Master: Captain George Lamb. Surgeon: Thomas W. McDonald.

‘BUFFALO’ Built app 1835. Wood ship of approximately 350 Tons. She carried 58 male convicts to Sydney with no deaths en-route. She departed Montreal, Canada in 1839 and arrived Sydney on the 25th of February 1840.Master: Captain J. Wood.
Although not listed as an official convict ship by Bateson in his book The Convict Ships, the ‘Buffalo’ certainly carried enough convicts, to warrant inclusion here. Many vessels brought out convicts in small numbers, and even the first fleet ship, ‘Prince of Wales’, carried only 50 prisoners. There is a great deal of interest in these ships and smaller vessels, which came from other parts of the world. They transported soldiers and citizens from British settlements in Canada, the West Indies, India, South Africa and even America. These convicts suffered the same fate as those who came direct from England, Scotland and Ireland.

Petty Crime:
Although there are a few severe cases, it is amazing to read of the pettiness of the court processes of the time. Most crimes were for stealing shawls, hankies and other items of clothing. Food and other small items were also on the pilfer list. Life sentences were given in bad cases or if a convict had been in trouble before, even a previous sentence of ten days for drunk could get a convict an extra seven years transportation. The more serious crimes like murder and manslaughter were few and far between and were usually dealt with on the Gibbet.
Highway robbery was automatically a life sentence and although much more prevalent than killings they also, were in the minority. Most life sentences were for second offenders, one young man received life for stealing some corn only because he had been jailed for 6 months on a previous occasion. The very young were not spared stiff sentences. Children as young as 11 years, were sent to the colonies. One 15-year-old lad in the above list, received 10 years for stealing a shirt. It is hoped that he survived the ordeal and found his way home to his family.
Special notations.
* The father of these two young brothers, Richard Berresford, arrived in Australia as a convict in
1822.
* John Brown went by the alias Edward Speechley in his short career as a highwayman.
* John Davis had already been to Australia. He had been given a term of seven years in 1824 and
was transported aboard the ‘Princess Charlotte’ which arrived at Hobart in that year. One can only
assume that he must have enjoyed the first experience.
*Charles Evans had also been previously transported to Australia, he came as a free child with his mother aboard the ‘Friendship’ in 1818. His real name was Bernard Duffey and his father had the same name when he also was transported for life aboard the ‘Shipley’ in 1817. It easy to see how traumatized families were when separated. It seems obvious that the mother committed a crime one-year after the father was sent out for life, bringing the 15-year-old Charles with her. The young Bernard [Charles Evans] Duffey went back to England when old enough and took a partner or married while there. He stole a snuffbox to get his ticket back to Australia and it would be fascinating to know if his wife and two daughters were able to join him.

Although not listed as an official convict ship by Bateson in his book The Convict Ships, the ‘Buffalo’ certainly carried enough convicts, to warrant inclusion here. Many vessels brought out convicts in small numbers, and even the first fleet ship, ‘Prince of Wales’, carried only 50 prisoners. There is a great deal of interest in these ships and smaller vessels, which came from other parts of the world. They transported soldiers and citizens from British settlements in Canada, the West Indies, India, South Africa and even America. These convicts suffered the same fate as those who came direct from England, Scotland and Ireland.

* Kenny Patrick. Wife Mary was transported aboard the ship ‘Margaret’ on that vessels third voyage. Mary may have committed her crime so as to join her husband and son in Australia. The son, [John] was charged with assault [probably on the arresting officers who were there to take his father] and both father and son were transported together.

The story was different for the ‘Waterloo’, she was in dire straits and went to pieces in the heavy surf.
