Tillichery enters Lloyd's Register in 1796 with S. Baker, master, and St Barbe, owner, in 1796.

[4] Tellicherry made four voyages for the East India company as an extra ship, the first three under the command of Captain Sampson Baker.

For the return leg she left Calcutta on 6 July, reached the Cape on 29 October, St Helena on 3 December, and the Downs on 31 January 1798.

On her return leg she arrived at Madras on 12 March, Point de Galle on 7 April, St Helena on 5 August, and the Downs on 2 November.

[8] The 1803 Lloyd's Register shows Tellicherry still under John St Barbe's ownership, with her master's name given as S. Baker, and then T. Cousins.

Among the convicts were Michael Dwyer, an officer and guerrilla leader in the United Irishmen, and his friends John Mernagh, Hugh Byrne, Martin Burke and Arthur Devlin.

All agreed to transportation to New South Wales in lieu of trial for treason for their roles in the Irish rebellion of 1798 and subsequent resistance.

Tellicherry left Port Jackson on 6 April 1806 for Bengal,[13] or China,[14] to load a cargo of tea.
