Revingstone was committed for trial and on June 27 he was taken aboard the steam coaster Cecilia at Warrnambool for transfer to Melbourne Gaol.

[4] On 20 November 1850 the Portland mail was once again robbed by “the notorious Codrington Revingstone”, this time further inland near Mount Sturgeon (north-east of Hamilton township).

Charles La Trobe, superintendent of Port Phillip District, offered a reward of 30 pounds for the apprehension of Codington Revingstone.

Calling himself “William Green alias Codrington”, the bushranger asked “does [La Trobe] think any man will be so mean as to inform for his paltry £30” and in turn offered 100 pounds “to any man or woman who will deliver into my hands Charles Joseph La Trobe, and by my word if I get hold of him, I will work the shine out of his ----- carcase”.

The letter concluded that the writer was “ready for another turn of the Portland bags, but the beggarly rascals put nothing in them but love-letters; I could tell you some secrets – but honour amongst thieves”.

[10] In the 1870s a township close to the coast named Codrington was surveyed on the projected road from Port Fairy to Portland (between Yambuk and Tyrendarra East).
