In 1826 the Convict Ship 'England' was visited by phrenologist Mr. Deville (de Ville) who examined each of the 148 convicts and gave a memorandum of the inferred character of each individual, and of the manner in which the propensities were likely to manifest themselves. The most desperate convicts were pointed out and in particular Robert Hughes noted to be dangerous.
