Description:
A New South Wales Conditional Pardon April 1833 Conditional Pardon granted to Thomas Yarwood and signed by Richard Bourke, Governor of New South Wales [1831-37]. The document is vellum and retains a small portion of the official seal of the Colony. Yarwood had arrived aboard 'Indefatigable' in April 1815, aged only 19, having been found guilty of burglary and being sentenced to Transportation for Life. Thomas Woods (alias Yarwood) was convicted of breaking into the shop of Thomas Woodyer, a tailor and draper, of Waverham, Cheshire, stealing a quantity of woollen cloth, of the value of 10 shillings, as well as two one-pound notes and a quantity of silver and copper. He was granted permission to marry Mary Stubbs in 1822. He died in August 1848, apparently clubbed to death by aboriginals near Bathurst.
