Ship News
On Tuesday arrived from England and Ireland, the ship Janus, Captain Mowat, having on board 105 female prisoners, and 26 children. She sailed from the Cove of Cork the 5th of December; entered the harbour of Rio the 7th of February, and delayed a fortnight. — Passengers, The Rev. Philip Connelly, and Rev. Joseph Tharry.— The death of the Surgeon Superintendent, Dr. Creagh, R.N. is much to be regretted; which lamentable event occurred when the ship had arrived off Van Diemen's Land.
- An enquiry was held into the conditions on board the Janus after her arrival relating to prostitution during the voyage. Details of the enquiry can be found in Historical Records of Australia Series 1 volume X p. 319-332
