  The Convict Record of JOHN HILL
  transported for 7 years for stealing lead for clothing: Hill arrived in Tasmania in December 1852 aboard the "Equestrian" having been tried found guilty at the Devon Assizes at Exeter. Shortly after arrival, Hill was assigned as a servant to John & Mary BALFE at Sandy Bay where he remained for 18 months, applying for a ticket-of-leave. It was largely down hill from there: larceny in February 1854; breaking into the house of Mrs Buckley; July 1855 misconduct resulting in 3 months hard labour; transferred to Port Arthur in 1857 after being found guilty of assault and sentenced to penal servitude for 10 years; and after absconding from there, 21 days in solitary confinement followed by 9 months in irons. Did he survive Port Arthur?
