Gaoler's report: prisoner has been convicted of a misdemeanour and several times imprisoned; connected with a bad gang of thieves. Grounds for clemency: only witnesses 3 children aged 8 and 9 who claimed Thomas Williams stole meat, previous honest character, respectable industrious parents who run own business, living at home with parents who are supporting him while unemployed so no need to steal from poverty, many willing to reemploy him, no character witnesses called at trial. Initial sentence; 7 years transportation. Gaolers report: connected to bad gang of thieves. Annotated: nil. AT 3
