Sworn before us the day

Jury learned that his nephew, who had been in partnership with him in a coach building and painting business had been embezzling the books.

If Jury stayed he would have to report his nephew for his crime and this could either result in the death sentence or transportation for Life to the Colony of Port Jackson for his brother's son. Jury was afraid that he also could be charged over the embezzlement and could end up in Debtor's prison. He had no other option open to him but to flee with his family, leaving the farm and their furnishings behind hoping that when sold this, would cover all debts outstanding.

Arrived in Australia 15 Nov 1833 on Rubicon with 2nd wife and children from 2nd marriage.
