The Gaol Preaken Roberts at Ballarat
Tomes Roberts, famed for two escape attempts from Ballarat, appeared before Air Justice Hodges in Banco Court to face chop breaking charges. Convicted in April for the Comet escape, his sentence was deferred due to prior escape costs. He claimed government medical staff limited his recovery and alleged Governor and gaol officials treated him harshly. He said his second escape plan was a ruse to flee Ballarat. he had arranged with another prisoner to mislead officers. Hodges refused further deferral, ordered him to serve the existing term, and noted his request for concurrent sentencing could not be entertained due to jurisdiction. The gaol officials’ conduct will be referred to the Law Department for investigation.
