• Obituary: 11 Jun 1929, The Tumut and Adelong Times, New South Wales; ADELONG SPLASHES DEATH OF MR. "FRIDAY" GILLMAN. The sud news of the death of Mr. William Hurry ('Friday') Gillman came to Adelong on Saturday morning, and that his body would be brought to Adelong for interment yesterday. The case is a particularly sad one. "Friday," as he was populary known by his legion of friends, lived all his life in Grahamstown and Adelong, where his aged mother still lives. he was a man liked by every one, a keen sportsman and good citien,always ready to help in any charitable move, or anything of benefit to the town or district, he was a big strapping fellow, of whose life, up till a short while ago, one would have taken a lease ; but he contracted lung trouble, and did not take the matter seriously enough to go to a specialist until the disease had obtained too strong a hold on him. Only quite recently he went to Sydney, and from there to Waterfall, where he passed away. A few weeks ago one of his brother's died suddenly and this gave poor "Friday" a terrible shock. He was a man passionately fond of his mother, and resided with him at Grahamstown. The greatest of sympathy is extended to the aged parent and members of the family in their sad loss.

JOHN WHITEHOUSE sworn. I am a plater and brass-founder in Stracy-street; I was going home on the 16th of January, between eleven and twelve at night, from Mr. Brookes's, who keeps the sign of the Sun, the corner of Lincoln's-inn-fields; I went up Stone-cutter's-alley, and just as I was going up some steps into King-street, I met Lydia Jones , who seemed to be in a very miserable situation, and begged I would give her something; she said she had had nothing for three days; I gave her a shilling; she thanked me and followed me, and said she was my countrywoman. Where was this? - In Cross-lane , she said she had three children in the same condition, I desired to see them, and went with her, and went up into her room; it was a very miserable place, there was a candle burning on the table; when I got into the room, she said, you and I can have a night's lodging together; I said I did not come on that business; where are the children you pointed out to me? I did not come on that business, I have got a wife at home I was going to, but you have decoyed me into this dismal place; she directly stamped with her foot, and called for some gin; the room-door was never shut; I told her I should drink no gin, and was going away; I got as near the door as I could, then the two young men came into the room. Which two? - The two outside ones, Granger and Collins. Those two men came into the room? - Yes. Are you sure those were the two young men? - Yes, I am; one got hold of one of my hands, and the other of the other, and the little woman came into the room; the tall woman was not out of the room, she remained in the room. What is the little woman's name? - She acknowledged to the name of Smith the next day at the Justice's; while they had hold of my arms, knowing I had the notes, in this pocket, I leaned back as well as I could, to prevent them from taking them out; she pushed to that pocket, and took them out; they were in my breeches pocket; she dropped a letter and a bill of parcels on the floor, and then ran out of the room. Did they take any thing besides the notes? - Yes, they took my cash; two of them had their hands in my pockets, Collins and the little woman; they took two half guineas, six shillings and some halfpence; then I recovered myself a little, they wanted to get away; I laid hold of one man with the one hand, and of the other with the other hand, and said, they had robbed me of forty or fifty pounds, and I would lose my life before I would let them go. What did Jones do? - She pulled my handkerchief off my neck, while they had hold of me. The four people were Granger, Collins, Jones and Smith? - Yes. Who did you lay hold of? - Collins and Granger. Did any body else come in before you laid hold of them? - Yes, Messenger came in, and picked up part of the writings which the little woman had dropped. When did she run out? - As soon as she had taken the notes out of my pocket. Before you laid hold of Collins and Granger? - Yes, Messenger came in before I laid hold of Collins and Granger, and picked up some of the papers, and went out again; Smith came in again while I had hold of them, and she scratched my hand, and kicked my legs; that they bled in several places; I could not put them out of the way because I had fast hold of the men; then Messenger came back and laid hold of me by the coat, in order to pull me to the top of the stairs; while he was doing this, and the other kicking me, Collins got out of my hand, and ran out of that room; the woman who belonged to the house, whom I had never seen, hearing the noise, called the watch, and the watch was coming in at the door of the house, as Collins got out of my hand; he came up stairs, and soon after another man, Stack; I gave him charge of Jones, and Smith, and Granger, and told him there was a young man just gone down stairs; I was afraid he was gone out; he said nobody had gone by him; the woman belonging to the house said she was sure he was not gone by, and she would search the next room; she took the candle in her hand, and looked into the lower closet, and said, here he is; I looked into the place, and said, you must come out young man; as soon as I laid hold of him, he tried to throw me down; but I was too strong for him; I said to the watchman, search his mouth; I saw he had something in it, I thought he had my notes; he put out two shillings and an halfpenny, and said, blast you take it; I assisted in taking them to the watch-house; they were searched at the watch-house, but none of the notes found. What was found upon them? - There was nothing found upon them there, that I could swear to; they had given the notes to another girl to take care of. There were those five people in the room at one time or another, Jones, Granger, Collins, Smith, and Messenger? - Yes. No more? - No more. Messenger was not taken that night? - No; the next day when I went before the Justice, I said there was an old man; they would not fully commit the others till he was taken; I took a neighbour with me down to the house, and asked the woman the name of the old man; she said it was Messenger, and while I was there he came in; that is the man; as soon as he came in I know him again, though it was candlelight when I saw him before; I said you are the man I want, I was looking for you, you must go with me; he said, blast your eyes, I will cut your bloody melt out; I told him it was no use to struggle, he should go with me; he then went readily, and shewed me the nighest way to the watch-house; the constable searched and found a handkerchief of mine upon him, and a duplicate in his pocket; I went with the officer to the pawnbroker's, Mr. Woodins, the corner of King's-street, Drury-lane. Was anything else found? - An old handkerchief of mine in his pocket, the duplicates were tied up in. Was there anything else of your property found? - No, not upon them, there was afterwards a note found, and two pieces of two five guinea notes were found in the room, there was a five guinea note thrown on the floor and found with a letter. Was there anything else found? - Yes, the week after, Ann Bevington , a girl, who slept that night in the next room, with whom they left the notes to secret them, she gave it to a man of the name of White, who went to pay one away to a man who keeps an hardware shop in Covent-Garden; he asked him how he came by it; and said he had a friend who had been robbed of that and some other notes; he is not here. MARY MURPHY sworn. My husband, Luke Murphy , keeps a house in Cross-lane, St. Giles's. Jones, Messenger, and Smith, lodged at my house. Tell us what you know about this transaction? - A little before 12 o'clock, Jones came running down stairs very much frightened, and Granger came running down; I asked what was the matter? Messenger was fetching water for me; Jones said to Messenger, damn you, why did not you come up to me? Do you keep a common lodging-house? - Yes: then Granger came running down; I asked what was the matter? Granger said there was a man above was robbed of some property; I gave my child to the maid and called the watch, and shut the street-door, and desired the girl not to open it till the watch came; I said, Jones, go up stairs; she said, Tom, come along; he said no he would not; I said to Granger, you must go up too; he said he would go up with me; Whitehouse was then making a great noise; they went up with me, and I said what is the matter? Whitehouse said he had been robbed of 40 or 50 l.; he then said to Granger, you are one of the fellows that was here with me; with that I went into the room and asked Smith, where is the other fellow? she said she did not know, there was no one in the room; I went to the window and called the watch again. Was there any other girl there but Smith? - Yes, there was a little girl in bed in Smith's room. Was there any body in Jones's room? - No, I went to the window and called the watch, the watch then came; I said to Smith, where is the fellow that was in white here? she said there was no one; I looked, and found him in the cupboard, and said to him, come out of that; I said, when Collins came out of the cupboard, I said you have something in your mouth, is it paper? he said no, this is what I have got in my mouth; the watchman came, and as they were going down stairs, I said here is some paper in the room; the watchman came with me into Jones's room; there were a great many papers; I picked up a 5 l. draught, the gentleman said was payable the next day; I gave it to one of the watchmen. Now mind that you speak the whole truth, for you will get into a scrape if you do not; the first you heard of it was Jones coming down stairs? - Yes. Upon your oath did not you before that call the watch, and then go up stairs to see what was the matter? - No, not till Lydia Jones and Granger came down stairs, and I went up with them. Where was Messenger before? - Below stairs, fetching water for me. How long was he come down stairs? - I don't know that he was up stairs at all, he was fetching water for me three quarters of an hour. Can you or not swear whether he was up stairs before or not? - I don't know whether he was or not, he was fetching water for me three quarters of an hour. To Whitehouse. I understood you that Jones and Smith and Granger were never out of the room till the watchman came? - Jones got my handkerchief off and went out with it; they were in the room when the watchman came. Did Jones go out of the room after she took the handkerchief? - Yes, with the handkerchief in her hand, and came in again afterwards, but I think she had not time to get down stairs; both the women had been out of the room and came in again, they left me with these men. Was Jones in the room or out of the room when you laid hold of Collins and Granger? - She had just gone out as I laid hold of them. After you laid hold of Collins and Granger, how soon did Jones come in? - I suppose she was not half a minute away; Messenger had been in the room and taken the papers. Was that before Jones ran out? - Messenger came in before she had taken the handkerchief off and been out of the room, and picked up these papers. Messenger came back a second time? - Yes, he did. Did Granger ever get away from you? - He never was away. He never went down stairs? - Not before the watchman came in. You are sure of that? - Yes. Then Mrs. Murphy don't say true in that? - No. Collins got out of your hands? - Yes. But not Granger? - No. Who came up with the woman of the house? - I don't recollect any body coming with her, without it was the watchman, I believe they came together. The woman of the house did not come up with Jones and Granger? - No. Was Jones in the room again before the watch was called? - Yes, when the watch came up they were in the room together. Did Messenger get down before the watchman was called? - Yes, he did. When Messenger laid hold of you to pull you down stairs, how came he to quit you? - He could not get me to the stairs, I turned to lay hold of him, and he let me go and ran down. That was at the time Collins got from you? - Yes. When the watchman and the woman of the house came up, Smith, Collins, and Granger, were with you in the room? - Yes. That was the room in which you had been robbed? - Yes. JOHN M'GUINIS sworn. I am a watchman in Cross-lane; about 12 o'clock I heard the alarm of watch cried out, my box is within 10 yards of Murphy's door, where I heard the alarm; I came to the door and a woman opened it. Who was that woman? - I cannot tell; Mrs. Murphy told me there was a robbery committed above stairs; she was going up stairs before, and told me to make haste up; up I went; Collins was coming out, and I stopped him. Where was he? - He was coming at the head of the stairs in order to make off; I said nobody should go out till I knew what had happened; I brought him into the room where the prosecutor and the rest of the company was. Are you sure of that? - I am; he was just come out of the door at the head of the stairs. Then it is not true that he was hid in the closet? - I had not seen him in the closet. Be as particular as you can; you were alarmed with a noise at Murphy's house? - Yes. You went there, and some woman opened the door? - Yes. You followed Mrs. Murphy up stairs? - Yes. What room did you go into? - The room where the prosecutor and the people were. Did you meet any body before you went into the room at all? - Yes, I met Collins coming out of the door before I went into the room; I told him no person should go out till I knew what had happened, and took him into the room; I found there Lydia Jones , Granger and Smith, and two other young women, I did not know their names. You went in before Stack? - Yes; I found the prosecutor doing his endeavour to stop any person that was in the room, struggling, as if to keep the people in; I asked him what was the matter? he told me he was robbed to the value of 40 l. or 50 l.; I asked him who were the people that robbed him? he accused Collins, Granger, Jones and Smith; Mrs. Murphy observed Collins had something in his mouth; I charged him to produce whatever he had; he said he had nothing at all; I said he should produce whatever he had, and he produced 2 s. and a bad halfpenny. Where was Collins just before the things were found in his mouth? - In the room where the prosecutor was robbed. Was not you in the other room at all? - No, not till I took them to the watch-house, then I went into all the rooms. Mrs. Murphy was up before you? - Yes, just before me; after I found the money in Collins's mouth we had some more assistance, and took them to the watch-house. Nothing was found when they were searched? - No. Was not there a paper given to you that was found in the room? - Not to me, it was given to the other watchman Stack. To Mrs. Murphy. Did you go up before the watchman? - Yes, I called the watch at the street door; Lydia Jones , and Granger ran down stairs and I called the watch, and then shut the door; they went up stairs. The prosecutor says that Granger was never down stairs? - Upon my oath he was. Was the watchman come when you found Collins in the closet? - No, he was not come, I went to the window and called watch again. Do you mean to say before that Granger came down stairs? - I did. ANN BEVINGTON sworn. I was along with Elizabeth Smith at Murphy's house, in bed, in the next room to Jones's; on Wednesday evening Mrs. Jones brought this man up stairs; they were a little while up stairs, and presently after she knocked for a quartern of gin, and went to the window and called for change for a shilling; soon after she had had the gin, she came to our room and asked for the bellows. The gin was brought up? - Yes, and change in about 10 minutes. Was Smith in your room? - Yes, Smith and Collins and Granger were sitting round the fire; I cannot say whether Jane Molloy was in the room, or gone down for a candle; Jones said to Smith, will you come into my room with me, and Smith went in the room with Jones; after she was gone into the room, I heard Jones say don't strike any body here, and then Collins and Granger ran into the room; presently after, I heard the gentleman cry out, I am robbed of 50 l.; Smith immediately ran to me and gave me these notes, and told me to hide them, and I did in the bolster, there was a hole tore before in the bolster; Smith told me to take them to her brother in the morning, which I did; the next morning when I got up, I found a note by the side of the bed, I cannot say whether I dropped it, or she in giving them to me; I gave that first to Jane Molloy , and then we gave it to Sarah Elliot ; she told Sarah Elliot she found it, and Sarah Elliot gave it to a baker to change that served her with bread, I dont't know his name. Did you go out of your room at all that night before the watchman came? - No, I had nothing to go out in. Did anybody come into your room? - Yes, Collins, and ran into the cupboard. That was after the prosecutor said he had been robbed? - Yes. Who did you give the notes to the next morning? - To Frank Smith; and on Friday morning I went to Frank Smith , and he gave me half-a-guinea; I being in distress, took it, and paid Molloy half-a crown. You never saw the notes afterwards? - No; one I gave to Elliot, that I saw afterwards at the Justice's. SARAH ELLIOT sworn. Do you know any thing of this transaction? - Ann Bevington and Molloy came to me, and told me that they had found this note, and gave it me, I gave it to my baker, one White; I saw it afterwards at the Justice's. JACOB FREEMAN sworn. Hearing of this robbery in the morning, Meacham and I and another officer went and searched the room where the robbery was committed, and found two pieces of two different notes in the very room where he was robbed; I made all the enquiry I could to trace the notes; hearing of this note being offered, I went and took the baker into custody, and he took me to Elliot, of whom he said he had it; she said she found it in Drury-lane; at last she said she had it of Ann Bevington ; I went and took her into custody. What became of White? - When he took me to the house of Elliot, just as I put my hand on the door to come away, he ran off, I have never met with him since. Who did you get the note from? - White the Baker; it was shewed to Elliot in his presence, and she acknowledged giving it to him. (The note was produced in Court.) To Elliot. Look at that note? - That is the note I received from Bevington; I know it by its being torn at the corner. To Bevington. Look at that note? - I think that is the note I gave to my sister, I found it by the bedside. GEORGE MEACHAM sworn. I searched the lodgings; by the fireplace in the room where the prosecutor was robbed, I found pieces of two notes (producing them) one piece fits that note; about two o'clock or after, I was sent for by the prosecutor. To Whitehouse. What notes had you in your pocket that night? - Six Birmingham and one Woolverhampton, and one 5 l. note; I lost them all. Had you any account of the dates and numbers of these notes of your own making? - No, I afterwards got the best account I could. Who were they made payable to? - Them at the Old Bank were made payable to Story. To Meacham. About two or after you was sent for by the prosecutor? - Yes, he said he had another man in custody; I went to the watch-house, found Messenger and searched him; I found an old ragged handkerchief in his pocket, and in the corner of it were tied up three duplicates; one of which was an handkerchief pawned by Messenger that day for two shillings, at the corner of King-street, Drury-lane; by this duplicate I found the handkerchief at Mr. Woodin's; the old handkerchief I forgot, and left at home this afternoon. EDWARD HANSON sworn. I am servant to Mr. Woodin in Drury-lane. Is that your duplicate? - Yes; I cannot say whether it was Messenger that pledged the handkerchief; the person who received it is since dead; I saw Messenger in the shop that morning; here is the counterpart of the duplicate, which was fixed to the property. (The handkerchief was produced in Court, and deposed to by the prosecutor.) JONES's DEFENCE. A stranger gave me a shilling, and I took it; and as I was sitting by my own fireside, I heard him say he was robbed; Granger and I went down to Mrs. Murphy, and told I her. SMITH's DEFENCE. I was sitting by my own fire-side, Jones came up with the gentleman, and asked for a light; we gave her the light; she called Bevington in, and she came out again with some papers, and said they were bank notes; I said I would have nothing to do with them; she said if I would not have something to do with them, she would swear her soul as black as a new shoe against me, and bid me not be afraid to have to do with a robbery. GRANGER's DEFENCE. I was coming by the place where the robbery was committed; hearing a noise I went up stairs to see what was the matter; the gentleman said he was robbed, and I ran down stairs and told Mrs. Murphy, and desired her to come up, and I went up with her. COLLINS's DEFENCE. Lydia Jones came in for the bellows, and said she had a cull in the room, and said that she could not do him, he was sullen; Smith went in, and I went down stairs, and met the watchman.

She sailed from England with 253 male convicts on January 19th, 1790. Her master was again John Marshall and the surgeon was Augustus Beyer. Following the wreck of the H.M.S. Guardian she took on a further 8 male convicts. Date Arrived : Sydney 28 June 1790. 73 convicts died on the voyage Thomas Collins was sentenced to death Thomas Collins, defendant name in Punishment summary, 9th September 1789.

They had departed Portsmouth 19th January 1790. There were plans of mutiny on the Scarborough however they came to nothing when one of the prisoners informed the Captain.The Annual Register recorded the following account of Samuel Burt A letter has been received from Samuel Burt, the person convicted of forgery, but pardoned on condition of going to New South Wales; dated from on board the Scarborough transport, False Bay, which contains the following account: "On the 12th February, our ship having separated from the Surprize transport, the Neptune being a great way ahead, and the sea perfectly calm, the convicts began to whisper from one to the other their mutinous intentions; the plot being communicated to myself, I readily agreed to the scheme, assenting to every proposal of plunder and murder, until such time as I became completely master of the conspiracy, and the ringleaders of it. I then apprised the captain of the ship, and the military officers, of the danger they were likely to encounter; and so thoroughly did my information prepare them for the business, that with little or no trouble the ringleaders were secured, and the scheme entirely frustrated. The particulars being enquired into, they made such confessions that human nature would almost shudder at the thoughts of. Several of them have been flogged with the greatest severity, and others of more dangerous description are at this time chained to the deck and it is supposed will be tried and executed immediately on their arrival in New South Wales". Second Fleet A second fleet of five ships left England - Guardian, Justinian, Surprize, Neptune, Scarborough. The Guardian struck ice, and was unable to complete the voyage. She was stocked with provisions. Only 48 people died in the first group of ships, but this time 278 died during the voyage. This time transporting the convicts was in the hands of private contractors. The ship Mary Anne and Gorgon are sometimes listed as in the 3rd Fleet but the vessels and their sources from the Australian National Archives lists them in the 2nd Fleet. The Lady Juliana, sometimes listed in the second fleet is listed in the Archives in the 1st Fleet.

The three vessels sailed in company from Rio the 11th August 1811 but the Archduke Charles separated the day following. The Minstrel and the Indefatigable kept company until the 17 August and then separated in a gale of wind. The Minstrel arrived in Port Jackson on 25 October 1812. According to the Sydney Gazette the women were all in a fine healthy state. The convict indents give only basic information such as name, when and where convicted and sentence. No ages are recorded, nor marital status on arrival. On the 28th October an order was given that the few women who were permitted to be assigned to people in Sydney were to be landed that afternoon with a complete set of slops and bedding. The remainder of the women were to be taken to Parramatta Female Factory by water at sunrise the following morning. Boats were to be ready alongside the Minstrel to receive them and convey them twenty miles up the river to Parramatta. The women were probably fortunate to have made the journey when they did as the weather was probably fine and warm, however three weeks later they witnessed the first storm since their arrival in the colony. There was a torrential downpour. Crops were destroyed, pigeons killed by enormous hailstones and newly shorn sheep perished in the cold as the Parramatta River rose to an alarming height before subsiding once more. The women would have been at Parramatta when Captain Haddon Smith of the 73rd Regiment arrived. He was to take up his new appointment as Commandant at Parramatta and Superintendent of the Government factory on 1st November 1812 and was replacing Lieutenant Robert Durie of the 73rd who was proceeding to Europe. (From Convict Ship Minstrel 1812-Free Settler or Felon?) Minstrel was a 672 ton merchant ship and convict ship that transported convicts to Australia. Under the command of John Reid, Minstrel left England on 4 June 1812 with 127 female convicts. She sailed via Rio de Janeiro and arrived at Port Jackson on 25 October. Two female convicts died on the voyage. Minstrel left Port Jackson on 14 January 1813 bound for Norfolk Island.

(Map)

The clearest failure of the Receivers and Directors to gi
ve primacy to the interests of the Hospital in managing the Keswick Estate, was in the enclosure of Thornthwaite common and the creation of the Hospital Plantation.
Thornthwaite was a mostly customary manor to the west of the Derwent, where it ran between Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake, and had some 1250 acres of defined common on the Derwent Fells. The Hospital had no demesne
land in 1735, but had gained a small estate at Beckstones in 1811, through the conviction of the customary tenant, Hannah Grave, for felony. (Page 124)

Hannah Grave was charged with stealing a sheep value 10s. the property of Elizabeth Vickers, of Thornthwaite. The fact was fully established in evidence, and the prisoner was found guilty... James Parker and Hannah Grave were then sentenced to death, but were afterwards reprieved.
Carlisle Journal, Saturday, 08 September 1810 p. 4

The following is a fuller report of the trial of Hannah Grave, for stealing sheep the property of Elizabeth Vickers, of Thornthwaite, and others, than we could before give, It appeared on the evidence of the prosecution that Elizabeth Vickers had at different times lost one or more sheep off the common. The prisoner, who lived in the neighbourhood with two children, was strongly suspected of being guilty of sheep stealing. On the 16th of May last, Joseph Vickers, son to the prosecutrix, and who has the management of her concerns, on the 16th of May last missed one of his mother's sheep. This induced him to watch over them more narrowly, and on the Friday following he observed that one of his own was wanting. Having watched for some nights and not having seen any thing; on the Friday following he obtained a search warrant, and accompanied by his brother and four of his neighbours, went to search the prisoner's house. After having informed her of the object of their visit that it was to search her house, she replied that they were welcome. They first entered the pantry, where they discovered the head part of a lean sheep unfit, in the judgment of the witness, to be eaten as a man's food - it was unsalted and fresh. A salted dried leg of mutton was there hanging up, and which was not of the same sheep. They next proceeded upstairs, and at the foot of the prisoner's bed found a tub, which contained the greatest part of a carcass of mutton, the hind parts were wanting. But it was not the same carcass, the hind parts of which were downstairs but another. This was also lean, and considered as unfit to be eaten. Some parts of the floor was stained with blood and had the appearance of having been recently done. There was also in a rack some wool which had the appearance of having been plucked from the skin. On returning downstairs, they found hanging in the fire place a large pot filled with mutton nearly to the top, which was boiled to a jelly. They now entered the orchard, where they found buried some wool, a great many bones, and the entrails of several sheep. Some of these last manifested signs of a recent interment; others were quite dry and appeared to have been a long time in the present situation. They next searched a new unfinished dwelling house which was adjoining the house of the prisoner, and which seems, on some occasions, to have been occupied by her. There were found a large basket covered over with wool but not any marked and proceeding further they discovered underneath some rushes, a sack which contained two sheep skins; both of which had on the wool-mark, and one of them an ear mark. Witness swore to the marks. Both of which, that on the ear and that on the wool, were the witness's mother's. There was also a large sack of wool which did not appear to have been shorn, and a quantity of straw. On searching the dunghill with a muck-fork, four sheep skins more were discovered. They had ear marks on them, but it does not appear that they were identified. The jury after having heard the learned Judge sum up the evidence, returned a verdict of guilty.
Carlisle Journal - Saturday 22 September 1810 p. 4

The Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich (the Greenwich Hospital or the Hospital) was the charity which benefited from the rents and profits of the
confiscated estates of the Earl of Derwentwater (the Derwentwater Estates), and later owned those estates outright, as the Northern Estates. The grant was made in 1735 and held intact for nearly one hundred years, until the part of the property including Keswick and Thornthwaite was sold in 1832 to John Marshall, whose ownership will be considered in Chapter 7. The Greenwich Hospital was an owner whose primary objective in managing the estates was to provide part of the revenues for building and running the hospital at Greenwich. From 1763, and out-pensions of £7 per annum were also introduced, and these gradually increased in importance.
2 From 1829 the responsibility for out-pensioners was removed, together with certain revenues, leaving the Northern Estates as the principal source of revenue for the Hospital.

Instead she was renamed Captivity on 20 October 1796, while laid up at Portsmouth, and was fitted out as a prison ship.[2] She continued in this role for over a decade, serving under a number of commanders, Lieutenant Samuel Blow from December 1796, until his replacement in 1800 by Lieutenant Emanuel Hungerford. She was thereafter commanded by Lieutenant Jacob Silver from September 1801, and then a Lieutenant McDonald from December 1805 until sometime in 1806.[2] She was finally broken up at Portsmouth in January 1818 (Wikipedia) Sentencing to Departure-Prison Hulks & Convict Gaols The sentence of transportation was usually carried out in three parts.

They stayed there until the secretary of state ordered their removal to a convict facility. Prisoners arrived at the convict facility with their 'caption papers' (Which stated the offence, the date of conviction and length of sentence). In the early 19th century, most prisoners awaiting transportation were sent to the ' hulks' in London before being assigned to a convict ship and leaving England. The hulks The hulks were old navy ships, anchored along the banks of the Thames and at ports such as Portsmouth and Plymouth. As the prison population increased, it was decided to use them as gaols. Parliament authorised their use for a two year period in 1776; they continued to house prisoners for 82 years!

• Personal: 8 Jan 1814, The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, NSW; PUGILISM.-The vigilance of the Police in preventing the disorderly assemblage of persons, whatsoever be the occasion, was yesterday eluded, to the no small satisfaction of some of the pugilistic amateurs. Two champions, who arrived by the Fortune, exchanged gloves on the previous evening, and appointed to meet in a field on the road to Botany, about half a mile from the Race Course. The combatants were, John Berringer and Charles Sefton; the former about twenty and standing near 5 feet 9, and the latter about thirty, and about 5 feet 7. They set to with equal spirit and confidence (Sefton possessing greater skill but his adversary greater activity, and a longer reach), in a ring formed by a multitude of spectators, which was not less than 30 feet diameter. They fought two hours, and had upwards of 50 rounds, being timed to half minutes, so that out of two hours there was a full hour and a half of hard fighting; during the whole of which neither fell without a blow, and seldom closed. It was long doubtful upon which side victory was likely to spread her wreath; but within the few last rounds Sefton's strength had observably declined much more than that of his adversary, to whose superiority he was at length obliged unwillingly to yield.

Sentencing to Departure - Prison Hulks & Convict Gaols
Prison Hulk
The sentence of transportation was usually carried out in three parts. Prisoners started their sentence in the local gaol, followed by a period in a convict gaol or on the prison hulks before finally being transported.
After Sentencing

It was normal for prisoners under sentence of transportation to spend the first part of their sentence in the prison where they had awaited trial, usually in solitary confinement. They stayed there until the secretary of state ordered their removal to a convict facility.

Prisoners arrived at the convict facility with their 'caption papers' (Which stated the offence, the date of conviction and length of sentence). In the early 19th century, most prisoners awaiting transportation were sent to the ' hulks' in London before being assigned to a convict ship and leaving England.

The hulks

The hulks were old navy ships, anchored along the banks of the Thames and at ports such as Portsmouth and Plymouth. As the prison population increased, it was decided to use them as gaols. Parliament authorised their use for a two year period in 1776; they continued to house prisoners for 82 years!

The conditions on the ships were terrible, especially in the early days, and far worse than in the prisons. The standards of hygiene were so poor that outbreaks of disease spread quickly. Typhoid and cholera were common and there was a high death rate amongst the prisoners.

In the day time the Convicts were put to hard labour on the docks or dredging the Thames. At night the prisoners were chained to their bunks to prevent them escaping ashore. Convicts could be punished for crimes on board by being placed in heavy irons or flogging.

Even though conditions slowly improved, they were still worse than in the prisons. In later years some prisoners carried out their whole sentences on the hulks in England, instead of being transported.

Convict Gaols

Lobbying over the poor conditions on convict hulks continued long after transportation to Australia began and, as a result, Millbank prison was eventually built in 1816 next to the Thames River in London.

The prison was run using the 'separate system' where prisoners were kept in isolation. The building layout was in the form of a six pointed star round a central core which made it the appear that the prisoners were under constant surveillance.

At this time it was the largest gaol in England and could confine 1200 convicts in separate cells. Many convicts (male and female) spent part of their sentence here before being transported. Every prisoner had religious instruction. They would be put to work, turning the crank, picking oakum (picking apart old tarred rope), making shoes or stitching mail bags.

Although clean and ventilated, it was still very damp and unhealthy due to its locality. Fatal outbreaks of cholera occurred. Unfortunately, due to its management regime and architectural design (3 miles of passageways!), it was thought to be unsuccessful and was closed in 1890.

Reformist pressure and objections by colonists to transported convicts continued and led to the development of further 'model' penitentiaries, including Pentonville, Portland (1848), Dartmoor (1850) they adopted colonial type labour regimes (Pointless hard work in order to earn food).

CRIMINAL COURT.--(Yesterday)
The trials of the pirates will take place in the Criminal Court, on Monday next. G. Jones stood capitally indicted for the wilful murder of J. Bellinger alias Purton, on the 26th of December last.
J. Steadworth, living at Parramatta, remembers on the 26th
of December going to Kissing Point, to a house called the
Waterloo, had brought with him a loaded gun, but discharged the contents before he entered the house, this was done in sight of the prisoner. Two hours after this, witness recharged the gun with slugs. Witness did this in the room and the prisoner was sitting there, but engaged in talk with some other men. He sat in the room for the space of a minute with the gun in his hands
when the prisoner got up and took hold of the piece. Witness
thought he took the gun merely to look at it.. He appeared to be examining the barrel, when it went off ; the deceased; who was standing immediately in front of the prisoner, and in the same direction the muzzle of the gun was pointed, instantly fell, having been shot in the head. Witness thinks the prisoner did not pull the trigger ; is sure the piece was not cocked. On discovering the injury that was done, prisoner appeared to be very much affected and cried bitterly. Does not think the prisoner knew the piece was loaded at the time of firing it.
J. LEE deposed to a similar effect.
Mr. ANDERSON, surgeon, examined as to the wounds of deceased who was removed to the Hospital at Parramatta.
The Learned Judge summed up to the Jury, observing there
was not the slightest room to imagine that the prisoner had been guilty of what was in law considered as murder. The prisoner had, to say the most, only acted incautiously with the piece he took in his hand; but, under all the circumstances of the case his Honor did not think the present could be considered even a case of manslaughter.
Verdict. Not Guilty
The Judge admonished the prisoner, and ordered his discharge.
