Details:
A Notary Public, named Edwards, has lately been transported from the Cape of Good Hope to New South Wales, for a Libel on the Governor, Lord Charles Somerset. But as the Sydney Papers which have reached us, do not contain either particulars of the offence or any comments on the criminal, we shall merely add that he arrived by the Minerva at Sydney; and, on afterwards being banished to Port Macquarie, made two ineffectual attempts at self-destruction

Details:
Poor Edwards, who has been condemned to seven years' transportation, for a proposed libel, without proof by witnesses of any sort, was sent to Robin Island, a place where convicts are usually sent to. The Minerva convict ship touched lately at Simon's Bay, on her way to New South Wales, on which Edwards was brought to Simon's Bay, to be put on board. Shortly after his arrival, he, in despair, cut bis throat; but being interrupted in the act, he did not accomplish his purpose.
