Extracted from the Hobart Town Courier of the 12th November, 1827:—

The four ringleaders, Dawes Gabbett, Vetch, and Sanders, were condemned1 to death; but we understand that, by the clemency2 of his Excellency the Governor, their sentence has been commuted3 to six years at the penal4 settlement of Macquarie Harbour.”
