  The Convict Record of JOHN TAYLOR, transported for 10 years for burglary
  The official record providing the sorry tale and details of the years 1842 to 1863 during which period Taylor remained in the "system". Following his trial at York, where he was convicted, he was transported to Van Diemen's Land aboard "Eden", arriving in July 1842 along with 280 other male convicts. The document records his many episodes or solitary confinement, hard labour, time spent in chains and in chain gangs as a result of his various infractions (destroying his bedding, stealing trousers from a fellow convict, having turnips in his possession, being absent without leave, insolence, etc.) culminating in a trial in the Hobart Town Supreme Court in December 1849 (for armed assault and robbery) resulting in his being further "transported for life and to be sent to NORFOLK ISLAND for 6 years....."
