Source: Petitions To The Governor From Convicts For Mitigations of Sentences, Colonial Secretarys Papers. Ancestry
Details: Petition of Hugh Byrne, prisoner of the ship Tellicherry...That your Petitioner arrived in this colony on the ship stated as what was then considered a State Prisoner and agreeable to the promise of Government obtained the indulgence allowed to others in his then situation on his arrival. That in 1812 he had the misfortune to purchase 2 cows from a person of the name of Mahony who your Petitioner looked on as a fair honest character, but unfortunately the cattle alluded to proved to be the property of the Crown, for which your Petitioner was tried and received sentence of Death, but as he respectfully presumes on account of his former good character was changed to Transportation to Newcastle. In 1817 his late Excellency was graciously pleased to give permission for the return to his family and afterwards to grant him a Ticket of Leave. That your Petitioner has a wife and 10 children and lived in the district of Airds on the produce of some stock and agriculture but as a prisoner can not own that independent or comfortable livliehood he otherwise could if a free man. He therefore takes the liberty of appearing before His Excellency in humble hope that his vast sufferings and the respectable recommendations to this Petition will operate in his favour and induce your Excellency to take his case into your humane and gracious consideration and extend to him a Conditional Pardon for such an indulgence your Petitioner will ever be grateful

Ship: Waterloo 1831
Date: 6 March 1833
Place: Invermein
Source: Invermein Court of Petty Sessions. Deposition Books 1833 -1834 (Ancestry)
Details: Hugh Burns per ship Waterloo, assigned to John Bingle, charged with disobedience of orders....Jesse Coleman, ticket of leave holder, states - I am overseer to Mr. Bingle. About three o clock this morning I went to the prisoner and called him up and told him to come with me and help in salting the bullock which was killed last night. He said it was very early. He did not say he would not come - but he did not appear or come near me until the meat was salted. The prisoner is in the habit of giving assistance whenever a bullock is killed and salted. The prisoner states he was threshing by moon light (being extra work for which he is paid) until about an hour before the overseer came to call him. He was therefore fatigued and was hardly conscious of having been called. The Bench find the prisoner guilty but the master overseer giving him a good character and being his first offence, they suspend the period for the claim to a ticket of leave for three months.

Details: Henry Simmons per ship Royal Admiral assigned to John Bingle; Hugh Burns per ship Waterloo; assigned to J. Brown, charged with petty theft....William Lynch states - I am storekeeper to John Bingle; last Sunday morning I weighed to both the prisoner 14lb of beef each as part of their mess; I went to the Store, and left upon the Salting table 3 pieces of beef cut from the brisket of the bullock; returning I found it gone and I mentioned the loss to the prisoners who were a few yards from the place. Suspecting they had stolen it I examined an opossum cloak belonging to Hugh Burns and found two of the pieces; I then examined a bag in which Henry Simmons put his mess and found the remaining piece. I weighed the rest of the beef remaining in the bag and found it contained the full quantity issued to him. William McBean states - I am an assigned servant to John Bingle; he was not present when Lynch examined the prisoners bags; he examined mine. Joseph Clarke states - I am assigned servant to John Bingle; I was present when the rations were issued on Sunday morning; I did not hear Lynch accuse the prisoners of having stolen the beef, but I saw him weighing beef at one time to Simmons and did not perceive any other beef on the table at the time; this was the last beef I saw weighed. Case remanded until next Court day for further evidence
