NRS-900 Petitions to the Governor from convicts for mitigations of sentences, 1810–1826

These are principally petitions from convicts, or from family members or other persons on their behalf, for some mitigation of sentence such as a ticket of leave or a pardon. These documents often contain information as to the convict's general conduct and history including the name of the ship of arrival, colonial employment and family details.

The arrangement of the petitions is roughly alphabetical.
