Bartholomew and his wife (Catherine) were charged for having a stolen hair trunk in their possession. Bartholomew pleaded that he did not know it was stolen, and offered to pay the owner for it, which he duly did. However he was still charged with theft and found guilty, his wife was found not guilty.
He was charged at Southport and the case heard at the Castle, Winchester, Hampshire on 15th July 1783. He was then 59 years of age. He was to be transported to America for seven years.
Bartholomew was sent on the ship “Swift” on 12 August 1793 for transportation to America. However when the ship reached the English Channel, there was a Mutiny, and although Bartholomew did not escape, all members onboard were charge and were then to be transported to Africa. The Navy Department decided that the coast of Africa was not suitable for settlement of a penal colony and that Botany Bay, New South Wales would be more suitable. Records from England state the government wanted 740 convicts with a variety of occupations necessary to start a new colony. There was, however very long and detailed planning before they were to leave. Meanwhile convicts were kept on hulks as the prisons were full. The conditions on the hulks were awful and many prisoners died.
