Zachariah SHAW and an accomplice, Robert CLAYTON, were transported to Australia after being found guilty of forging Government Stamps (presumed to be Government Seals as Postage Stamps were not in use until 1840 in England).
The Government initially did not have an airtight case against CLAYTON (the Etcher & Forger), so Julia Kavanagh testified against him. She and her seven children were then allowed to come to Australia. Both families were given 25 pounds in gold sovereigns and cabin accommodation aborad the "Royal Admiral" which arrived in Sydney on 22 Jan 1835.
