Biographies
On 23 March 1791, Seager was convicted at the Liberty of Bury St Edmunds Assizes in Suffolk. Significantly, this was the same court that had held ‘witch trials’ in the 16th and 17th centuries, resulting in the execution of dozens of people accused of witchcraft. Seager’s exact crime is not known. He was sentenced to 7 years transportation and arrived on the Pitt in Sydney on 14 February 1792. Exactly two weeks later, he was dead. Seager was buried in Sydney on the same day.
