When Discharged: - 23rd June 1830 Put on Board ship 'Lucy Davidson' at Woolwich
Remarks:- See this book Folio 23 No.82 [Link to previous arrest 13 Dec 1823]
Newspaper Salisbury and Winchester Journal Monday 22nd Mar 1830 Page 4 : Dorset Assizes : -- under those sentenced to 14 years transportation:- " Ann WARR, for stealing a purse, containing four half sovereigns and upwards of nine pounds worth of silver; the property of John FARR of Merriott. ". From the Dorset County Chronicle Thurs 11th Mar 1830 Page 4 it appears that Ann WARR had been arrested for picking pockets at Maiden Newton Fair.
Newspaper Morning Herald (London) Wed 7th July 1830 Page 4 "NEW SOUTH WALES" -----extract --- "The women who were a few months since landed from the Lucy Davidson are so very troublesome being continually brought before the police office that the Magistrates are of opinion they are the most evil-disposed crew that have been landed in the colony for many a day!"
Note:- The above report however seems to relate to a previous voyage of the Lucy Davidson conveying female convicts to New South Wales which appears to have departed from London on 20th July 1829 and after making port at Hobart arrived at Port Jackson on 29th Nov 1829.
Source: TROVE The Australian (Sydney, NSW: 1824-1848) Page 3 : On the 20th (Jan 1830) ult the ship Lucy Davidson arrived at Launceston from Sydney, to load with Colonial produce for London.
There is another newspaper report in the Morning Advertiser for Fri 29th Oct 1830 which reports the arrival of the Lucy Davidson from Van Diemens Land at Dover on 27th Oct 1830. It is clear therefore that Ann WARR was never placed on board a hulk to await deportation and does not therefore appear on any of the 'prison hulk' registers.

[Note:- Brief entry of his sentence appeared in the in Sherborne Mercury Mon 19th July 1830 page 3 - A fuller report however is in the Dorset County Chronicle Thursday 22nd July 1830 Page 3: "William CHAPMAN, was put to the bar, charged with having stolen a pick-axe, and two faggots, the property of Mr Edward ELLIOTT of Fordington. The facts of the case were these: on the night of the 3rd of July, the prisoner was seen proceeding homewards with two faggots on his back, and suspicion being excited that they were stolen, an examination took place and it was discovered thatthe faggot rick of Mr ELLIOTT had been pulled to pieces and some faggots stolen. A pick-axe which had been left near it, was also missed, but subsequently found on the path by which CHAPMAN must have proceeded. The faggots found on Chapman were identified by Mr Elliott as his property. There was a second indictment against the prisoner charging himunder Peel's act, with having been convicted of and imprisoned for a former offence. It appeared that the prisoner had already undergone imprisonment for no less than four other bprevious convictions. The Jury found him guilty on both indictments and the Court after a few pretty severe remarks sentenced him to Transportation for fourteen years ]
