NRS-12223 | Convicts on "Hashemy" - Register of assignment and history

The "Hashemy" arrived in June 1849 following a revision in the penal system. Immediately there was very strong public protest in New South Wales. In spite of this agitation, most of the convicts were landed at Sydney (and sent to country areas), leaving 59 to be sent to Moreton Bay. All subsequent transports were instructed to proceed to that district. This volume records the history of the individual convicts landed off the "Hashemy", noting tickets of leave, passports and pardons received, assignments, any later convictions, death etc. There is an index in the front of the volume. (4/4526). 1 vol. Note: This description is extracted from Concise Guide to the State Archives of New South Wales, 3rd Edition 2000.
