handkerchiefs (5s), and three children's aprons (6d). Orford claimed that he came from on board a ship where "a man gave me a pint of beer to carry these to a house." The man said the items, "were to go into the country". Orford was found guilty of stealing the property, but not the burglary. He was listed to be transported to Africa. Orford was described as "a black" who spoke broken English. He married Elizabeth Osborne in March 1788 at Port Jackson. In April 1794, he received a 30-acre land grant at Bulanaming. William Parr Parr's full name was Thomas William Parr, a known swindler. Aged 47 on embarkation, he was convicted of cheating a storekeeper.
