There is a mention of 30 prisoners being taken during the "Rockite" rebellion. If you check page 3 of 'Ireland's forgotten 'Rockite' rebellion by Peter Berresford Ellis http://www.irishdemocrat.co.uk/anonn-is-anall/rockite-rebellion/.print.html it gives a good account of what happened. The details of the thirty convicts onboard the Mangles 2 who were charged under the Insurrection Act are noted with a reference PPC1771. I do not have the web site for this but I think it was found by either searching Irish Convicts to Australia data or the actual Mangles 2 listing. If I find the reference I will post it for you. My interest is James Fitzpatrick whom I have been able to follow up on but I would like to find out if Hugh O'Donnell was also one of mine. Every little helps, Sue NSW
