The instant the smoke began, I was seized by the throat by a convict, vociferating death or liberty. The convicts mutiny on deck being quickly quelled, I extricated myself from the man who first seized me, and was rescued from the crowd by two convicts and got upon deck. The mate and gunner being still in their custody, and the mutiny still continuing, recourse was had to firearms, when one man attempting to take a pistol from a seaman was shot dead, and two more were wounded.

This had the effect of rescuing the mate and gunner, but not until the first had received some violent contusions on the head. At this crisis a speedy and exemplary punishment was necessary, and from the information of the mate, as well as my own recollection, Marcus Sheehy was the ringleader. He confessed his guilt and was, by the sentence of all the officers immediately shot, in the presence of the convicts.

Christopher Grogan, the ringleader upon deck, was sentenced to lashes; and thus ended this disagreeable affair. She was the next convict ship to arrive in New South Wales with female prisoners after the Speedy in April Lieut-Col Paterson later wrote that' by the arrival of the Anne transport from Ireland, we have received some of the most desperate characters that acted in the rebellion, and we have no doubt but they will make themselves very troublesome in this country if not kept in awe by a respectable military force.

In the following people who had arrived on the Anne received their Certificates of Freedom being restored to all the Rights of Free Subjects in consequence of their terms of transportation being expired The following letter was printed in the Freeman's Journal in The prisoner mentioned may have been Alexander Maguire who arrived on the Anne.

The Irish Rebellion of Hugh Maguire,- of No. Martin's Lane applied to the Lord Mayor in the hope of obtaining his Lordship';s interference with Government in a case of very great hardship, affecting the liberty of an unfortunate brother of his, who was transported in the rebellious period of , for having taken part in the disloyal agitations in Ireland.

Maguire stated, that his brother while in the course of education for the law, had, when about twenty years of age, been induced by some of the wild speculators in rebellion, to join a society founded upon the avowed basis of hostility to the existing order of things in this country.

Without being aware of the consequences, of effecting or of attempting a dismemberment of the empire, the Unfortunate young man became a disciple of that band of men so remarkable for their genius and misfortunes, who died in or fled from the desperate struggles against the state. The part he took however, must have been of little importance; as upon being, tried for high treason in Enniskillen, in which town he was born, he was, without hesitation, acquitted.

But at that time, at least on that occasion, a power was exercised in Ireland to which even that country, disorganized and distressed as it had since been, was now a stranger. Soon after young Maguire's acquittal, he was apprehended, placed on board a transport, and sent off to Botany Bay. His father, who was at that period one of the most respectable shopkeepers in Enniskillen, had applied in vain for a knowledge of the motives by those who had acted in opposition to the verdict, of the Jury, and of the authority upon which they had acted so completely in, the teeth of the law: The only satisfaction he received was the assurance that the term of his son's transportation was but seven years, and that the young man should be restored to his family at the expiration of the time.

The father, without complaint, endeavoured to brave the calamity, but it was too heavy, and he sunk under its weight when he found that the seven years were never to have an end. Adversity was not slow in its approach.
