Find Ancestors

Hi all,
I have come to a dead end (sic) the above named was sent for trial in Northumberland, England, 1st August 1818 and sentenced to death, I have not been able to find out the crime. What I have foung out is that he was transported to Australia in December 1818 on the Prison ship Baring and to the colony of Sailor, so I assume his sentence was comuted and transported.
I have found out that he married a Ann Cadman on 09th July 1824 in New South Wales.
What I want to know is what his crime was, or information on where I can find out
Many thanks

Was Ann Cadman his second wife?
There are various records on the NSW convict index referring to a James Hindhaugh who arrived on the Baring in 1819.
He received a ticket of exemption from Government labour to reside with his wife Ann Smith (per Lord Sidmouth 3) for life.
His ticket of leave states born in Northumberland in 1798, trade - gardener, tried in Newcastle on Tyne 1818.

He spent some time on a prison hulk before being transported:

He received his first certificate of freedom in 1832 but, according to the images on Ancestry, he had to surrender that as it was mutilated. Hence the later certificate in 1838.

I thought the name sounded familiar:
