List of Crown Prisoners at King George’s Sound, 1830
These documents dating to 1 January 1830 provide detail about the convicts at King George Sound. They include data on their behaviour shortly before the settlement’s closure in March 1831 as an outpost of New South Wales and the place’s subsequent administration by the newly formed Swan River colony. The tabulated documents provide physical descriptions of the convicts – height, age, hair and eye colour – and were added by Captain Collet Barker with a final entry dated 6 February 1831. A document produced between 8 October 1830 and 11 February 1831 lists convicts who received acknowledgement for good behaviour.
