Line from convict conduct record
« on: Wednesday 09 May 18 05:55 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help with this line from a convict conduct record please?

I can get "...in a public house" but not much more than that.

Just in case it help, here's a link to the source: http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/ImageViewer/image_viewer.htm?CON33-1-70,313,185,F,60

Thanks for looking!

...Miscondt in being in a public house...

ADDED:

I see the date as:  29 Janry 49

The name at the beginning of these entries is often the Police Magistrate who sat on the case.

I think it is:  O'Connor

Have a poke around in Trove and see if there's a PM of that name active at the time.

ADDED 2:

Lower down he was:  ...sleeping on the estate of R O'Connor Esq at night...

ADDED 3:

The second last word may be:  Reprieved

I'm not sure that makes sense, as a Sentence should precede a Reprieve?

Edward was convicted with Richard Swaine WOLLARD who is on the same ship.

Following Richard might lead you to Edward after both have served their time.

Convicts who were united in crime had their records notated to show this. Purpose was probably to keep them apart.

I'm afraid the letters don't support that assertion - particularly the first two.

Secondly, examination of the nearby records shows that the word used for that state is Drunk.

I think it's Reprim(ande)d, followed by the magistrate's initials.

Yes, I agree, that fits the letters and makes good sense.
