Worrall held Fisher's power of attorney, said Fisher had sailed for England, and sold his property; Fisher was in a grave on Worrall's land

Kind 1 and kind 2. Frederick Fisher was transported to New South Wales in 1818 and became a ticket-of-leave man. By 1825 he held four farms, one of them at Campbelltown. After he pulled a knife on William Brooker, who had built an inn for him, Fisher expected a long prison term. He gave a power of attorney over his affairs to his neighbour George Worrall, another ticket-of-leave man. Fisher received a light sentence. He disappeared on 17 June 1826, months before he would have been free. Worrall said Fisher had left the colony and had passed all his assets to him. About three weeks later Worrall sold Fisher's horse and belongings. Worrall was arrested in September 1826, before any body was found. On 25 October 1826 two boys reported blood on a fence. Police brought in Gilbert, an Aboriginal tracker from Liverpool, who led them to Fisher's grave on Worrall's land. Worrall was tried on 2 February 1827 and hanged on 5 February 1827. Before he died he said he had killed Fisher by mistake. The legend, retold in print from the early 1830s, says the farmer John Farley saw Fisher's ghost sitting on a bridge rail and pointing to the paddock. The ghost was not part of the trial evidence. Fisher's brother Henry buried him at St Peter's graveyard without a headstone. Campbelltown holds a Festival of Fisher's Ghost every year.
