Details:
On a list of 35 prisoners to be sent to Newcastle penal settlement on the Lady Nelson. In correspondence to the Commandant he was described - as being bred up as an officer in the Navy, but whose pretensions to any thing like the character of Gentleman are certainly on as low a scale as any of those with whom his crimes have destined him now to associate. This young man who only arrived here per the Lord Eldon on the 30th of September last and who had on account of his former rank been immediately indulged with a Ticket of Leave has been busily employed almost from the day of his arrival in forming plots for the cutting out different vessels from the Harbour. In two cases it has been ascertained that he was the ring leader of a gang of pirates who were prepared to effect their purposes by the most sanguinary means. From all these circumstances the Governor desires that you will cause this man to be strictly observed and that he be wrought in irons

Former gaoler at Newcastle. Claim that he was treated as a convict due to clerical error. Had received sentence of transportation for life at Omagh and arrived on the Rolla in 1803. Having been nine years in the colony was sent to Newcastle for life also but there he behaved so well first as overseer and then as jailer that Governor Macquarie emancipated him on the recommendation of Captain Wallis, commandant at the settlement. Since then he had endeavoured to procure honest livelihood and was at one time employed by William Gore. He lately had the misfortune to be brought before the magistrates on a charge which was not proved however because of an alleged informality on his Certificate of Emancipation, he was returned to Government service and sent to work in an iron gang........after a residence of close upon twenty years in the colony, seventeen years of which, seventeen of the best years of his life, he has passed in the actual employ of Government, coping the most part of that time with hardships and difficulties which can scarcely be conceived, unless by such as have had the misfortune to experience them - thus has he been plunged at once into a state of helpless, he had almost said hopeless misery for a mere clerical error
