Sarah's Trial and Transportation - ancestry - davidmac142 originally submitted this to MacDonald Family Tree on 8 May 2009
Sarah Bentley arrived in the colony following an indictment for stealing, on 27th July 1795, two cotton gowns, value five shillings (fifty cents); a scarlet cloth cloak, value five shillings; a check linen apron, value six pence (five cents); a muslin check handkerchief, value six pence and shawl handkerchief, value one shilling (ten cents), being the goods of John Taylor. She was committed to New Prison, Clerkenwell. At Sarah's trial on 16th September, 1795 her mistress, Jane Taylor of Hornsey said, "I took her in and educated her and brought her up; on Monday morning, I went to fetch a little water. I left that girl in the house for a while, and when I came back she was absent and I was robbed." Here we have a glimpse of residential London with no piped water supply. Sarah probably went into service at the age of twelve and her education would have been in the skills of a housemaid and no more, as she could not sign her own name. Compulsory education did not begin in England until 1870.
James Aldens, the pawnbroker to whom Sarah attempted to pledge a gown, stopped her and took the things which she produced. He suspected that they were not hers because the dress was not her size. According to Aldens she told him that she came from the country and had no friends. He then took her to Marlborough Street where the goods were taken from her to be produced at her trial at the Old Bailey where she was sentenced to transportation for seven years. Sarah sailed in the Indispensable which was a French built ship of 351 tons launched in 1796 under Captain Wilkinson.
The Indispensable carried 133 female convicts only two of whom died on the voyage. The journey via Rio de Janeiro took about six months and the Indispensable arrived at Port Jackson on 30th April, 1796
Unfortunately, there is no physical description of Sarah but it is not hard to imagine Sarah being frightened, anxious, lonely, seasick and miserable. Convict women were regarded as "damned whores" no matter what their crime. Strangely, prostitution was not a transportable offence.
