He was convicted of stealing money and sentenced to transportation for seven years on 16 Oct 1838 at the Kent Quarter Sessions. He had no former convictions, was 27 years old and was a Baker by trade.
He arrived in Sydney on the "Parkfield" on 1 Sep 1839, and was granted a Ticket of Leave on 11 October 1843 and a Certificate of Freedom on 13 December 1845. He was described as “5 feet 6½ inches tall with a dark sallow complexion, brown hair and brown eyes. His eyebrows were partially meeting, he had 2 small moles on the right side of his neck and a small blue cross on the back of his right hand.”
