Hi Bernie,
This has just come back to me about the newspaper articles. As you already
know what Thomas was accused of I don't think it is worth paying out for a
copy of the article. I am going to contact the Somerset record office to see
if they can supply me with the jail records.
I will keep you posted.

Dear Ms Cordingley,
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the conviction of Thomas Catley.
I have managed to locate the newspaper report covering the Bath Quarter
Sessions in October 1837. There is a 3 line report of the conviction of
Thomas for stealing some trousers from Mr Turner of Bath Street, and his
sentence to 10 years transportation. There are no further details about
where he was living or his family at the time - these reports were generally
just a list of the results of the cases with no further details about the
accused or the rest of the case. You may have already found the Quarter
Sessions records in the Bath Record Office. The Somerset Record Office also
holds the records for the county gaol, where Thomas would probably have been
held before he was shipped out on the Bengal Merchant in March 1838.
We can provide you with a digital copy of the 'report' above - either as a
jpg attachment or as a printed A4 sheet - for £6 (£1 for the image, £5 admin
costs). Payment is by cheque, made payable to "Bath & North East Somerset
Council" and sent to myself at the address below, indicating what format you
would like the image sent to you in (via email or in print).
Sorry we couldn't help you further with the family history.
I look forward to hearing from you,

Hi,
Can you tell me if you have an artical for a conviction on the 26/10/1837 of
Thomas Catley aged 19 at the Quarter sessions Bath in the local paper.
Thomas was transported to NSW on 24/3/1838. All that is known about him is
that his father was also called Thomas. I have been in touch with your
archives section and they have put me onto you.
Thanks
Liz
