Sir, Parramatta, 2nd March, 1806. When I received my Grants of Land at the Cow Pastures, Macarthur's consequent on the Right Hon'ble Earl Camden's directions, Tour gJ'g^Hd cattle Excellency was pleased to signify, if a Proposal were to be made for reclaiming the numerous Herds of Wild Cattle on Terms equitable and of evident Advantage to Government, such a Pro­ posal might receive Your Approbation, and induce You to enter into a Contract for the Accomplishment of that Object. Having since very attentively reflected on the Practicability of such an Undertaking, I now do myself the honor to lay before You the enclosed Proposal, And I trust it will appear to Your Excellency both moderate and equitable, Altho' doubtless it will admit of, and perhaps require, some Modifications. If the business be prosecuted upon anything like the Plan I have proposed, You will observe, Sir, that Government is to be exposed to no possible risk, And the only Expence they can incur will be about £50 a Year for the Repair of Casks, and £14 per Ton for Salt, One Ton of which will cure Eight or Nine Ton of Beef. At present, it may be fairly assumed, the different Wild Herds do not contain less than 4,000 Head of Cattle. Amongst these it is probable there are 2,000 Head of Bulls. Of that Num­ ber there must be 500 fit for immediate use, 500 that might be killed in a Year, and 500 more in two Years. These Fifteen hundred Head (the youngest 500 I calculate upon catching) averaging their Weight so low as 600 Weight each, would supply 682 HISTORICAL RECORDS OF AUSTRALIA. 1806. His Majesty's Stores with 900,000 Wts. of Beef. To import that is March. Quantity from England it would cost £30,000, Whereas this Macarthur's Supply would occasion no other Expence to Government than the the wild cattle, purchase of Salt and the repair of Casks, both of which would not amount to £1,000. This is in itself an Object of great Importance, but not to be compared with the almost incalculable benefits that must result from taming the Wild Cattle, and thereby furnishing such Num­ bers, both for Slaughter and labour, as will be quite Sufficient in a few Years to supply all the demands of these Colonies. Amongst other Advantages, I am persuaded Your Excellency will not think an Abundant and Cheap Supply of Shoe-Leather to the Colonists an inconsiderable one; but I will not trespass upon Your Excellency's time by a detail of the many Minor benefits that taming the part of the Wild Cattle that can be taken and killing the useless Bulls will produce—They are many and obvious. It may, perhaps, be necessary I should say a few Words in explanation of the Principle upon which I have founded my Ex­ pectation of personal Remuneration. I have calculated that the Expence of providing Bread for the numerous Establishment the Business will require, the Amount of their Wages, the Expence of Buildings, Waggons, Carts, Cattle, Harness, and other Con­ tingencies, will amount to more than the Value of the Hides, Tallow, and Offal. The surplus, therefore, whatever it may be, must be defrayed from the Produce of the third of the Young Cattle. What remains will be my Compensation; And, as Your Excellency cannot fail to discover that the Price of Cattle must be greatly diminished by this Plan being carried into Effect, I respectfully hope You will not think I have set an improper Value on my own labour. Indeed, I presume to think there is not another Person in the Colony, of Character to be relied upon, who could execute the business so much to the Advantage of the Government as I have proposed to do it. On the other hand, I must candidly acknowledge that the thing is pregnant with benefit to me, from the Circumstance of my Establishment for raising fine-Woolled Sheep being, as it were, in the Midst of the Wild Cattle, and on that Account the Contract for reclaiming them will create many facilities for the successful prosecution of that Object. I have, &c, JOHN MCARTHUR. [Enclosure.] PROPOSALS respectfully submitted by Mr. McArthur to His Ex­ cellency Governor King for taming such Cows and Young Cattle in the Wild Herds at the Cow Pastures as it may be KING TO CAMDEN. 683 possible to catch, And for slaughtering and salting for the 1806. use of Government the grown Bulls which are now, from a their Numbers, very detrimental to the Increase of those Macarthur's ' proposals re Herds. the wild cattle. 1st.

In return for the Sacrifice of his time and the great Ex- pence he must incur, Mr. McArthur respectfully proposes That he be allowed to Supply the Men engaged in the different Branches of catching, taming, Slaughtering, Salting, packing, carrying, and superintending, a Sufficient Quantity of the Bulls' Flesh for their own Support on the Spot, he engaging in honor not to suffer wilful Waste, And to act as if the whole were his own Property, to prevent Embezzlement. 5th. That he be allowed one-fourth of the Calves under a Year old, and one-third of the Cattle exceeding that Age that he may catch and tame, And the Hides, Tallow, and Offal (that is to say, all but the four Quarters) of the Slaughtered Bulls. 6th. The Contract to be binding and conclusive for the Term of two Years from the date of Signing the Agreement, And a further extension thereof to two Years from the date of the first official Dispatches wrote by the Governor to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and sent by a direct Conveyance to Eng­ land.

Added afterwards.—That it is to be clearly understood, as the Agreement will be greatly to the Advantage of the Crown as well as to Mr. McArthur, that the Agreement to be drawn from these Proposals is to be taken on both parts according to its literal and obvious Meaning.

  • Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania
    ; 97 IHE FREiNCH IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND, AND THE FIRST SETTLEMENT AT THE DERWENT. BY JAMES B. WALKER. Prefatory Note. As the subject of the present Paper may appear to be scarcely within the scope of the objects of the Royal Society, it seems proper to state briefly the occasion of its being written and submitted to the consideration of the Fellows. Some two years ago, the Tasmanian Government—of which the Hon. James Wilson Agnew, Honorary Secretary of the Royal Society, was Premier—following the good example set by the Governments of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Now Zealand, directed search to be made iu the English State Record Office for papers relating to the settlement and early history of this Colony. The idea originated in a suggestion from Mr. James Bonwick, F.R.G.S., the well-known writer on the Tasmanian Aborigines, who had been employed for years on similar work for various Colonial Governments, and to him the task was entrusted by Dr. Agnew. Mr. Bonwick searched, not only the Record Office, but the papers of the Admiralty, the Foreign Office, the Privy Council, and the British Museuni, and discovered and co|)ied a large mass of docunu'nts rohiting to the oarly days of Tasmania. in the early jiart of this year, these coj)ics, extending over some (J4() foolscap pages, were received in Ilobart, and the ))resent Premier —the Hon. Philip Oakley Fysh—obligingly allowed me to jioruse them. I found them to be of great interest. They threw (piite a new light on the causes which led to the first occupation of this Islaiul ; gave a complete history of Bowen's first settlement at Risdon Cove and supplied materials for other hitherto unwritten — 98 FRENCH IN VAN DIEMEN's LAND.

  • The Life and Work of William Redfern
    THE LIFE AND WORK OF WILLIAM REDFERN The Annual Post-Graduate Oration, delivered on April 29, 1953, in the Great Hall of the University of Sydney. This oration is delivered to commemorate those who have advanced the art and science of medicine in New South Wales. By EDWARD FORD, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Preventive Medicine in the University of Sydney. THE LIFE AND WORK OF WILLIAM REDFERN THE LIFE AND WORK OF WILLIAM REDFERN By EDWARD FORD, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Preventive Medicine, University of Sydney. WILLIAM REDFERN, one of our most distinguished Australian medical forebears, arrived on these shores, in trial and despair, over a century and a half ago. He came as a convict who suffered in turn the horror of a sentence of death, the misery of life imprisonment and exile, and a bitter residue of disdain and persecution. Yet William Redfern rose from the depths to an honoured place in our history. He was a pioneer of Australian medicine, agriculture and husbandry, and a citizen who contributed greatly to the welfare of the early colony. He was the first medical practitioner to receive an Australian qualification, and our first teacher of medical students. It is an honour to recall, in this Sixth Post-Graduate Oration, the work of William Redfern and the debt we owe to him. This is made possible by the records of his day, stored richly in the Mitchell Library, and by the biographical work of the late Dr. Norman Dunlop (1928a, b) and other historians.

The first members of his family to come to Van Diemen’s Land were Frederick Lewis von Stieglitz and two of his brothers who arrived in 1829. Henry Lewis, another brother, and the father of John Charles and grandfather of Karl, arrived the following year. John Charles von Stieglitz, after qualifying as a surveyor in Tasmania, moved to Northern Queensland in 1868, where he worked as a surveyor with the Queensland Government, later acquiring properties near Townsville. In 1883, at Townsville he married Mary Mackenzie, who died in 1883. Later he went to England where he married Lillian Stead in London in 1886. On his return to Tasmania he purchased “Andora”, Evandale: the impressive house on the property was built for him in 1888. He was the MHA for Evandale from 1891 to 1903. Karl von Stieglitz visited England with his father during 1913-1914. After his father’s death in 1916, he took possession of “Andora”. He enlisted in the First World War in 1916, but after nearly a year in the AIF (AMC branch) was unable to proceed overseas due to rheumatic fever.

  • The COROMANDEL and Others
    THE STORY OF THE 'COROMANDEL' IN PARTICULAR, 1834 3 MASTED SAILING SHIP. The COROMANDEL and others. In particular I have searched information regarding the 'Coromandel' ship, which, in 1836 was commissioned by the South Australian Company to transport emigrants to the new colony of South Australia and its soon to be established capital city of Adelaide. I have listed in these pages all details found, including a number of passengers. I have ascertained most who sailed in her, (but I certainly may have missed and/or misspelled some names). The ship sailed from St. Katherine's dock, London in 1836 arriving and disembarking the majority of her passengers at Holdfast Bay, Glenelg on January 17th 1837. Her journey was longer than planned as Captain William Chesser, her Master called in at Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa and rested his many sick passengers back to good health with fresh fruit, vegetables and good water. Upon his return to Britain later in the year, he was called to task for the extended journey & brought before the Colonial office & the South Australian Company for interrogation. I have not, with any positive proof satisfied myself as to our "Coromandel's " final resting place, because the name was in popular use as a ship's name, and others so named have confused many people of her true journeys & destiny. She was definitely 662 tons, she was definitely built in 1834 in Quebec by George Black & Sons and she was a barque with sails set as 'ship' meaning all were squaremasted. There was a Coromandel ship that foundered in New Zealand, but I have not seen the description nor sketches of that ship.

  • Francis Barrallier, Explorer, Surveyor, Engineer, Artillery Officer, Aide-De-Camp, Architect and Ship Designer: Three Years in New South Wales (1800-1803)
    FRANCIS BARRALLIER, EXPLORER, SURVEYOR, ENGINEER, ARTILLERY OFFICER, AIDE-DE-CAMP, ARCHITECT AND SHIP DESIGNER: THREE YEARS IN NEW SOUTH WALES (1800-1803) VALERIE LHUEDE' Ensign Barrallier [... discharged] the duties of Military Engineer and Artillery Officer, superintending the Military Defences, Batteries and Cannon of this Settlement, in addition to which he has most arduously and voluntarily executed the duties of Civil Engineer and Surveyor to the advancement of the Geography and the Natural History of the Territory.2 I have informed you [Sir Joseph Banks] in my several letters of the great use Ensign Barrallier, of the NSW Corps, was of to me and the public, first in going to the southward and surveying the coast from Wilson's Promontory to Western Port; next in surveying Hun ter's River, where he went twice; and since then in making journey to the mountains, which was introductory to his undertaking the journey he afterwards performed. [...] As Col. Paterson has thought proper [...] to write me officially that Mr. Barrallier's excursions were contrary to the Duke of York's instructions, I found myself obliged to give him up, and relinquish this highly desirable object for the present. I [was] concerned at it, as the young man has such ardour and perseverance that I judged much public benefit would have resulted to his credit and my satisfaction. [...] In conse quence, I [...] claimed him as my aide-de-camp, and mat the object of discovery should not be totally relinquished, I sent him on an embassy to the King of the Mountains. Governor Philip Gidley King3 Chris Cunningham, in his book Blue Mountains Rediscovered* quotes Mark Twain in Following the Equator (1831) as saying, "Australian history is full of surprises, and adventures, and incongruities, and contradictions and incredibilities, but they are all true, they all happened".

  • 1 the Shako on Display Is a Replica of the Military Head Dress Worn by Capt Charles Sturt and Capt Collet Barker of the 39Th
    SHAKO The shako on display is a replica of the military head dress worn by Capt Charles Sturt and Capt Collet Barker of the 39th Dorsetshire Regiment of Foot in 1813. Both men came to New South Wales as convict guards in 1827 having gained their captaincy’s while serving in Ireland. Both were inextricably linked to South Australia. Capt Sturt having solved the riddle of the inland river system that led him to the mouth of the River Murray and Capt Barker who explored the Adelaide plains and met an untimely death at the mouth of the River Murray. Sturt’s expedition journals and the accompanying account by Barker, served to determine the foundation of South Australia. Made on request: By Farthingales, Bath, England and donated by Paul Eshmade. The shako or military hat, originated from the Hungarian name caskos silveg (peaked cap) which was a part of the uniform of the Hungarian Hussar of the 18th century. Other spellings include chako, czako, schako and tschako. From 1800 onwards the shako became a common military head dress, worn by the majority of regiments in the armies of Europe and Americas. (Wikipeida) The 1800 the shako was made of leather and was decorated with a large brass plate on the front. This proved too heavy and was changed to a lacquered felt version with the same plate. In front or to the side, and above the black cockade, was a short tuft, coloured according to company. White over red for the centre company, white for the grenadier and green for the light infantry companies.
