  George Barrington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Barrington (May 14, 1755 – 1804) was an Irishman with a curious history.

Barrington disclosed the plot to the captain, and the latter, on reaching New South Wales, reported him favourably to the authorities, with the result that in 1792 Barrington obtained a warrant of emancipation (the first issued), becoming subsequently superintendent of convicts and later high constable of Parramatta.
