APPENDIX 1 Inmate Profile
APPENDIX 1 Inmate profile In October 1858, the LBS, along with the Launceston Municipal Council and prominent' Launcestonians, headed a petition protesting the deplorable situation facing the north's indigent poor.' This petition encapsulated a middle class view of the invalid crisis. The document exposed a perception held that invalids belonged to a specifically identifiable group made up of individuals of both sexes who had originally been transported as c~nvicts.~ They were a lingering reminder of Tasmania's convict past, a dross that refused to disappear. What distinguished these individuals from other emancipists was their physical condition. They were the 'diseased, aged, blind, incapable, and destitute'? If an understanding is to be gained of who the invalids were, and of the circumstances of those who found themselves in their old age and infirmity readmitted to institutional space, it is important to obtain an inmate profile. This appendix examines the typical attributes of invalid inmates. While both males and females found themselves in distress in their latter years, the typical inmate of a colonial Tasmanian charitable institution was male, unmarried (or if a female then widowed), aged at least 55 years but more likely to be aged closer to 70 than 60. In addition to being old they almost certainly suffered from an age related illness, such as dementia, rheumatism or chronic ulcers. They would have been born in Britain or Ireland, and have arrived in Tasmania as a transported convict.

Valuation of Property Hobart Town and Launceston Report of The
(No. -46.) 18 7 5. TASMANIA. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. 1 VALUATION OF PROPERTY., HOBAR1. · TOWN AND LAUNCESTON. REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. Laid upon the Table by the Attorney-General, 'and ord!3red by the House to be printed, August 10, 1875•. • Hobart Town, 7th June, 1875. Srn, HAVING completed our surveys of properties in the City of Hobart Town and the Town of Launceston, we. have the honor to forward to yo1J. the new Valuation Rolls thereof, which have been prepared under our instructions and supervision. • We have endeavoured to ascertain in every case what rent the properties pro.duce ; and have generally, except where held under peculiar conditions, taken such amount to be a "reasonable rent" in accordance with the terms of the Act, under the provisions of which we have been working. It will be,seen that we have made an increase in the total value of properties situate in Hobart Town, of £5811. This sum, however, is caused partly by the adJition of a good many properties not in the Corporation Roll-as, for instance, Market Places and other Municipal Buildings, Sunday Schools, &c., amounting to £2729. In Launceston the increase amounts to £5149, and arises, in some degree, from similar addi tions, but principally from the properties having been under-rated in the Corporation Roll. We desire to express our sense of the highly ·satisfactory manner in which the clerical work has been performed by Mr. Toby and Mr. George Boyes, and the ready assistance they have uniformly afforded us in our tedious and somewhat laborious work.
