Author's note: Mary Hindle was born in Haslingden, East Lancashire, in 1799. After the machine breakers riots of 1826 she was probably one of the first female political prisoners to be transported to Australia. She ran away twice from the Parramatta Female Facotry in New South Wales and took her own life on August 21, 1841, aged forty-two.
