Conduct Registers of Male Convicts Whose Records were Transferred from the Probation Series, and of Certain Others 1840-1846

Some men, arriving under the probation system, were convicted of further crimes and colonially sentenced to transportation, which made it necessary for their names to be removed from the probation records and themselves sent to a penal station, usually Port Arthur, their numbers have “Transferred” prefixed. In these cases, full details of the convict are repeated in these records from the Probation Conduct Registers (CON33). There are also many convicts transported locally and from other colonies who were apparently not included in the probation system, their numbers are prefixed by “M” (for “Miscellaneous”). Each volume has an index to the men included. These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
