written by David J. Porter tells the compelling
tale of his ancestor,
Lincolnshire
farm labourer John Porter,
who
was accused of killing a sheep
belonging to the local curate.
John Porter
was promptly convicted, on
farcical evidence, and transported to Australia
for life, leaving his wife and four young sons to
manage without the breadwinner.
John Porter was one of 244 convicts who arrived on
the convict transport
Prince George
in May 1837.
The ship surgeon of the
Prince George was Dr. Thomas
Bell. Leaving
Lincolnshire - In Chains
contains Dr. Bell's report
of the voyage revealing much on
the lives of convicts under his
care. During the voyage of the
Prince George over 200
of the convicts and many of the

required medical treatment.
Author David J. Porter has

Dr. Bell, which includes the
name and age of the convict,
illness, when each was taken off
the sick list and the outcome of
each case.
