• emigrated: Indespensible, 30 Apr 1796, NSW Australia. Sarah was tried at the Old Bailey, 16 September 1795, by the second Middlesex jury, before Mr Justice Recorder. [Old Bailey Transcripts 17950916-80].
Her crime was stealing 2 cotton gowns, a cloth cloak, a linen apron, a muslin handkerchief, and a shawl handkerchief, all the property of one John Taylor.
It would appear that she had been taken in and reared by the family of John and Jane Taylor. Sarah returned this kindness by breaking into a locked box and absconding with all the goods therein. Later that day Sarah attempted to pawn the goods but was taken by the pawnbroker to the Marlborough street station. She stated that she had nothing at all to say. Was found guilty and transported for 7 years, aged 16 at the time.
