A son was born in Hobart in 25 May 1843 - Colonial Times 30 May 1843.

He was appointed as Stipendiary Magistrate on Norfolk Island in 1846, as part of an official plan to toughen up the slightly moderate regime (which used probation) of Maconochie. He must have returned to Hobart as he sat on a case in Hobart in 1849.

He was the first superintendent of Pentridge in 1950; becoming Superintendent of Prisons (1851 and 1853). Victoria became a separate colony in 1851, just before the goldrushes.
