Dobbs was a native of Worcestershire and was a transport for Life, having been capitally convicted at Warwick in the year 1796. He arrived on the Royal Admiral in Nov 1800, and has almost ever since been suspected of improper courses, though he always escaped detection until it fell palpably on him for the robbery of Mr Hassall's house at Parramatta, when great part of the property being found upon him, he was tried for his life; and being convicted upon a charge of larceny, sentenced to 1000 lashes; of which punishment one third was not inflicted. His last offence, by his own declaration, was committed when in a state of inebriety, a plea so immoral in itself to permit the hope of benefit to result from it, but nevertheless reflecting odium to any housekeeper who could be prevailed upon to retail spirits at improper hours to a man of his description.
