Anthony Fenn Kemp (1773—1868): The Turbulent Mason “...without fear of contradiction from anyone with “We are gratified in being able to announce that whom Mr Kemp has come into contact, that his the Father of the people, the Washington of Van conceit and credulity, envy and malice, turbulence Diemen's Land, has recovered from his recent severe and arrogance, have been at all times equal, to which indisposition and that, in his mental energies, he is may now be added an utter disregard for the truth.” as strong as ever.” — The Hobart newspaper Brittania, on Kemp's — Lt Governor George Sorrell (later Kemp's recent illness, July 6, 1848. in-law) offering a character testimonial on Anthony Fenn Kemp. 1 Introduction Anthony Fenn Kemp was an intriguing individual who had a close association with many of the key events in the Convicts & Cthulhu era. In his long life he spent time defending the colony, attacking some of its political leaders, supporting a military rebellion, and ultimately achieving both wealth (as a powerful merchant) and influence (as magistrate and administrator). What is not as clearly documented in the history books is Kemp’s close ties with Freemasonry … and as any good Lovecraftian Gamemaster knows, it’s only a small step between membership of one secret society and an affinity with other, more potent, secrets. In your Convicts & Cthulhu game, Anthony Fenn Kemp may be the bearer of such forbidden knowledge — or alternatively, be an innocent but handy ally, patron, or adversary for the investigators. Included below are some handy notes designed to give the Gamemaster a wide variety of options for using this interesting historical person in games of • Paymaster: Kemp became paymaster for investigative Lovecraftian horror. his company and later for the entire NSW Corps.

    ; 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.

  • Reputations on the Line in Van Diemen's Land
    REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND: a dissertation on the general theme of the Rule of Law as it emerged in a young penal colony with particular emphasis on the law of defamation by ROSEMARY CONCHITA LUCADOU-WELLS LLB., (Queensland), B.Ed., (Tasmania), MA., (Murdoch), PhD., (Deakin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Laws of Murdoch University, 2012. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Rosemary Conchita Lucadou-Wells ABSTRACT This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival.

    The Ballad of Jim Jones at Botany Bay Come gather round and listen lads, and hear me tell m’ tale, How across the sea from England I was condemned to sail. The jury found me guilty, and then says the judge, says he, Oh for life, Jim Jones, I’m sending you across the stormy sea. But take a tip before you ship to join the iron gang, Don’t get too gay in Botany Bay, or else you’ll surely hang. Or else you’ll surely hang, he says, and after that, Jim Jones, Way up high upon yon gallows tree, the crows will pick your bones. Our ship was high upon the seas when pirates came along, But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong; They opened fire and so they drove that pirate ship away But I’d rather joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay. With the storms a-raging round us, and the winds a-blowing gales I’d rather drowned in misery than gone to New South Wales. There’s no time for mischief there, remember that, they say Oh they’ll flog the poaching out of you down there in Botany Bay. Day and night in irons clad we like poor galley slaves Will toil and toil our lives away to fill dishonoured graves; But by and by I’ll slip m’ chains and to the bush I’ll go And I’ll join the brave bushrangers there, Jack Donahue and Co. And some dark night all is right and quiet in the town, I’ll get the bastards one and all, I’ll gun the floggers down.

    ‘THE UNFORTUNATES’ PROSTITUTES TRANSPORTED TO VAN DIEMEN'S LAND 1822–1843 Christine Jessie Leppard BA (Hons) A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of Tasmania October 2013 This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Christine Jessie Leppard 18 October 2013 I confirm that this thesis is entirely my own work and contains no material which 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. To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does it contain any material that infringes copyright. Christine Jessie Leppard 18 October 2013 iii ABSTRACT Since historians first began to mine the records of the 160,000 men, women and children who were transported to the Australian colonies, the mention of prostitution has titillated researchers and the general public. The prostitute was a highly visible and public figure. Unlike the pickpocket, smuggler, extortionist or forger, each of whom strove to be invisible, the prostitute relied on her visibility to earn a living. However unlike her secretive companions the prostitute’s activity was not illegal, yet her visibility made her a convenient scapegoat for many of the fears and failings of contemporary society. In Australia’s convict history she is equally visible by virtue of a clear annotation on her convict record.

He was buried on 2 March, 1810 in The Old Burying Ground, George Street, Sydney, Australia From "The Second Fleet - Britain's Grim Convict Armada of 1790" by Michael Flynn Driver, John (c1773-1810). John driver, a cord wainer aged 14, was committed to Gloucester Castle goal on 6 December 1787 charged with assaulting a man at Dursley and stealing a silver watch valued at two guineas (he had actually picked his pocket). He was convicted on a lesser charge of theft and sentenced to seven years transportation at the 15 January 1788 Gloucester Quarter Sessions and was sent on board the "Dunkirk" hulk at Plymouth on 24 June. At the end of November 1789 he was embarked on the "Neptune" transport. Although only seventeen on arrival, Driver displayed an early talent for business in the colony and prospered quickly as a retail trader after the expiry of his sentence in December 1794. In June 1797 he fathered a daughter by the First Fleet convict Elizabeth Needham (b. 1762, tried Old Bailey) baptised Mary at Sydney in July.
