Alexander Pearce
Alexander Pearce (1790 – 19 July 1824) was an Irish convict who was transported to Van Diemen's Land for seven years for theft. He escaped from prison several times. During one of these escapes he allegedly became a cannibal, murdering his companions one by one. In another escape, with one companion, he allegedly killed him and ate him in pieces. He was eventually captured and was hanged and dissected in Hobart for murder.
==Early life==
Pearce was born in County Monaghan, Ireland.〔Convict Indent, CON13/1/2 p19, Tasmanian Archives〕 A Roman Catholic farm labourer, he was sentenced at Armagh in 1819 to penal transportation to Van Diemen's Land for "the theft of six pairs of shoes".〔(The Last Confession of Alexander Pearce ) Anne-Marie Marquess, culturenorthernireland.org. Retrieved 2008-11-02.〕 He committed various offences in Van Diemen's Land, and on 18 May 1822 was advertised in the ''Hobart Town Gazette'' as an absconder, with a £10 reward for his capture. When caught, he was charged with absconding and forging an order, a serious crime. For this he received a second sentence of transportation, this time to the new secondary penal establishment at Sarah Island in Macquarie Harbour.
