New South Wales Inquests, 1819; 10 June 2008 1 SYD1819 SYDNEY GAZETTE, 10/04/1819 Court of Criminal Jurisdiction Wylde J.A., 7 April 1819 This was a day of serious trial for the murder of WILLIAM COSGROVE , a settlor and district constable upon the Banks of the South Creek, on the first of the present month; by the discharge of the contents of a musket loaded with slugs into his body, of which wounds he died the following day. The prisoners were TIMOTHY BUCKLEY by whom the gun was fired; DAVID BROWN , and TIMOTHY FORD , all of whom had been in the Colony but six of seven months, and prisoners in the immediate employee of Government, and who unhappily had not renounced those propensities which sooner or later were to lead them to an unhappy end. The first witness called was THOMAS COSGROVE , brother of the deceased, whose testimony was conclusive of the fact. The witness stated, that his murdered brother was a district constable at the South Creek; and that he having seen, and believing the three prisoners at the bar to be bushrangers, requested him, the witness, to joining in pursuit of the suspected persons; all of which was readily compiled with, and a pursuit accordingly commenced. This was about one in the afternoon; the deceased went up to the three men (the prisoners at the bar), and found then in conversation with two young men who were brothers of the name of York, one of them a son in law of the deceased. The deceased called to the prisoners at the bar, declaring his willingness to point them out the road to the place they were enquiring for, namely the "Five mile Farm;" but appearing conscious that they were armed bushrangers, he hesitated not to rescue their giving themselves up to him, he being a district constable.

Australian Convict Sites
17 PART 2 DESCRIPTION The 11 sites that constitute the ‘property’ are spread across Australia, from Fremantle in the west to Kingston and Arthur’s Vale in the east, a distance of 5,500 kilometres, and from Old Great North Road in the north to Port Arthur in the south, a distance of 1,500 kilometres. Australia's rich convict history is well represented by approximately 3,000 remaining sites distributed across several States and Territories. The assessment to establish the most representative sites drew on a wide body of research to locate a complete representation of all the significant elements which together express all the elements of outstanding universal value. The sites span several climatic zones (from Mediterranean in the west to temperate in the south and sub-tropical in the mid-north), cover four time zones and are connected by a network of maritime routes throughout the Indian, Southern and Pacific oceans. Each of the sites represent key elements of the forced migration of convicts and is associated with global ideas and practices relating to the punishment and reform of the criminal elements of society during the modern era. 18 2.A DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area (KAVHA) Norfolk Island (1788–1814 and 1824–55) The site is on Norfolk Island, an outposted penal station of New South Wales (NSW) over two periods, the second as a place of punishment for re-offending convicts. Some female convicts were sent there in its earlier years but the overwhelming number of convicts were male. KAVHA comprises more than 40 buildings, groups of buildings, substantial ruins and archaeological remains set within 225 hectares of relatively undisturbed land.

Black Caesar and Billy Blue: Subversive African Performance in Early Colonial Sydney
Black Caesar and Billy Blue: Subversive African Performance in Early Colonial Sydney CASSANDRA PYBUS* On 14 February 1797, John Wimbow and his unnamed convict companion were foots logging through virgin bush about five miles west of Sydney Cove in search of a fugitive convict. Late afternoon they reached a ridge of sandstone where a narrow opening in the rock face was almost entirely obscured by gnarled she-oaks sprouting needles like a witch's broom. Having located the hideout of his quarry, Wimbow resisted making any rash assault, choosing to wait in the stifling summer heat until the fugitive showed himself. At dusk Wimbow's quarry made an appearance: a well-muscled man who stood a good head taller than most in the colony, holding a musket at the ready. The musket had been stolen from the commissary in Sydney Cove a few months earlier and was certainly loaded with shot, since, despite the governor's prohibition, there were ex-convicts in the outlying districts prepared to share ammunition with the outlaw. He was alone; there was no sign of the other convict runaways who had formed a band with him. One close shot brought him down. A case of self-defence, Wimbow would later insist. 1 The first official to receive the news of the death was the judge advocate of the colony, David Collins, a meticulous chronicler of life in the infant colony. With relish he recorded how on 15 February his court was interrupted by the news that the outlaw known as Black Caesar had finally been killed.

New South Wales Inquests, 1836; 05 June 2008 1 SYD1836 SYDNEY HERALD, 08/02/1836 Supreme Court of New South Wales Forbes C.J., 5 February 1836 On Friday last, an Aboriginal Black named Jack Congo Murrell, was indicted in the Supreme Court for the wilful murder of another Aboriginal Black named Jabbingee, at Windsor, when his Counsel put in the following ingenious and puzzling plea. In the Supreme Court, The King v. Jack Congo Murrell. ``And now the said Jack Congo Murrell in his own proper person comes, and having heard the Information aforesaid read, and protesting that he is not guilty of the premises charged in the said Information or any part thereof, for plea, nevertheless saith that he ought not to be compelled to answer to the said Information; because, he saith that the said Territory of New South Wales before and until the occupation thereof by his late Majesty King George the third, was inhabited by tribes of native blacks, who were regulated and governed by usages and customs of their own from time immemorial, practised and recognised amongst them, and not by the laws of statutes of Great Britain, and that ever since the occupation of the said Territory as aforesaid, the said tribes have continued to be, and still are regulated and governed by such usages and customs as aforesaid, - and not by the laws and statutes of Great Britain. And the said Jack Congo Murrell further saith that he is a native Black belonging to one of such tribes aforesaid, and that he is not now, nor at any time heretofore was a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, nor was nor is subject to any of the laws or statutes of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Aboriginal Convicts: Race, Law, and Transportation in Colonial New
Aboriginal Convicts: Race, Law, and Transportation in Colonial New South Wales Kristyn Evelyn Harman BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania May 2008 ii Statement of Authorship I, Kristyn Evelyn Harman, hereby state that this thesis contains no material that has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. Kris Harman iii Statement of Authority of Access This thesis is not to be made available for loan or copying for two years following the date this statement was signed. Following that time the thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Kris Harman 19 May 2008 iv Abstract This thesis challenges the long-standing convention within Australian historiography whereby ‘Aborigines’ and ‘convicts’ have been treated as two distinct categories. It identifies the points at which these descriptors converge, that is, in the bodies of Aboriginal men from New South Wales sentenced to banishment or transportation. It locates their experiences on a trajectory extending from the early part of the nineteenth century through to the formative middle decades during which the rationale underpinning the trial and transportation of Aboriginal men was refined by the colonial state. In the opening decades of the nineteenth century colonial governors occasionally exercised their prerogative to banish Aboriginal men considered fomenters of hostilities against the colonists.

New South Wales Inquests, 1850; 24/03/08 SYD1850 MAITLAND MERCURY, 8/574, 02/01/1850 FATAL ACCIDENT. - On Friday an inquest was held before J.S. PARKER, Esq., coroner, on the body of Mr. JAMES MAW [MAN] , the well-known master of the Cygnet schooner, trading between Sydney and the Paterson River. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Man was attending the Raymond Terrace races on Wednesday last, having ridden over from Lemon Grove, Paterson River, with Mr. THOMAS SWAN. Mr. Swan had a mare which he entered for the first race, and rode her himself; in the course of the race she stumbled and threw Mr. Swan over her head, and he was picked up insensible, but fortunately recovered. Towards evening Mr. Man made a match between the mare and another horse, to come off on the following morning, and although he knew she was a buck-jumper, he afterwards cantered her round the course, accompanied by Mr. WILLIAM FEARLEY, of Singleton. Observing that the mare looked skittish, Mr. Fearley called to Mr. Man to keep behind his horse, but the mare apparently got the better of Mr. Man, darted past Mr. Fearley’s horse, and almost immediately after buck-jumped with great violence, throwing Mr. Man over her head; he fell on his head and rolled over twice, and on Mr. Fearley dismounting he found Mr. Man insensible, and bleeding from the nose and mouth. After supporting Mr. Man a short time, and finding he did not recover, Mr. Fearley rode into Raymond Terrace for assistance, when Dr.
