There is a VERY lengthy report on the incident in the Hampshire Advertiser 11 March 1848.  It appears that Stephen Morris struck an assistant gamekeeper on the head with the butt of his gun, the gamekeeper died from his injuries.  The article can be viewed in the newspapers on FindMyPast.

Added later: There are quite a few newspaper reports over several months in 1848.

His conduct record mentions this assault by him as a convict constable

His indent, as I read it, names family as

F. Stephen
M. Maria ...edit: this is his wife's name
B. Wm ??
S. Elizt ?

I think it also says "brother on board" - there's a Robert and a John Morris on the same voyage

edit: says tried with mr smith and charles bratcher on board

It does look like "brother on board" but I think it reads "tried with Wm. Smith and Chas. Brotcher on board"  Those names are mentioned in the newspaper reports as Stephen's accomplices.

Added: Just amended the name from Thos. to Chas. Brotcher.  The name varies depending which report you read  ???
