    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.

    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2

    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2 INTRODUCTION 0.01 The recent gift to my wife of a cameo brooch, said to have been a present from Captain Thomas Rowley to his bride, led to my making enquiries about my wife's great great great grandfather. Many of the stories which accompanied the gift were subsequently found to have little foundation but my enquiries produced much information which may prove of sufficient interest to others to justify my writing this tale of a man who played no small part in the establishment of the Colony of New South Wales. 0.02 In consequence, this Cameo of CAPTAIN THOMAS ROWLEY ( ? - 1806) is dedicated to the memory of his son THOMAS ROWLEY (1794 - 1862) his grandson HORATIO NELSON ROWLEY (1831 – 1887) his great grand-daughter ELIZA SMITH (nee ROWLEY) (1868 - 1921) his great great grandson LESLIE JOHN SMITH (1891 - 1944) and is written for the information of his great great great grand-daughter, my wife NANCY RAMAGE (nee SMITH) his great great great great grandchildren, our children RAYMOND JOHN ALASTAIR RAMAGE JUDITH ANNE RAMAGE DAVID ANDREW RAMAGE and his great great great great great grand-daughters, our grand-daughters ALICIA JANE RAMAGE LAUREN ELIZABETH RAMAGE 0.03 Preface to Second Edition: I have taken advantage of a request for reprinting to correct one or two errors of fact to which my attention has been drawn by some of the many interested descendants who have contacted me following the issue of the first edition. For ease of reference, I have retained the paragraph numbering used previously.

    Painted by J.

Almost unconsciously, something in the nature of an epic of the island has thus gradually taken shape. To members of the several families our narrative conveys an affectionate regard, linked with a deep interest in the unfolding of the family trees in all their roots and branches. To the friends, who in many varied ways have furthered the telling of the tale, its completed form carries our most grateful appreciation. To the general reader it is offered with the assurance that a deal of human nature, interwoven with more than a few threads of romance, lies folded away not only between, but also within, the lines of history itself.

    Dead Central Exhibition Transcript

    Blank page Chapter 1 Hidden histories BUSY CONTEMPORARY TRAIN STATION, TRAINS PASS, RECORDED ANNOUNCEMENTS PLAY, PASSENGERS’ FOOTSTEPS NARRATOR: The dead are invisible, but not absent. We move through our days, around city streets, across hallowed ground with no thought of what happened here before us. Who lived on this spot? How did they die? How many layers of loss lie beneath our busy footsteps? Lost songs, lost kinships. Nor do most of us think about our own lives as one more flm of dust beneath the feet of an oblivious future. But I think about it. Cities are always reshaping themselves, being demolished and rebuilt to accommodate the living. But we can visit vanished Sydney by assembling remnants of the past. Maps, letters, paintings, photographs: each one of them evidence, and a doorway into its own story. RECORDED ANNOUNCEMENT: Doors closing, please stand clear. NARRATOR: Ready? All aboard. TRAIN SOUNDS ESCALATE Chapter 2 Consecrated ground IN AN 1820s TOWN, HAWKERS CHANT, BIRDS CALL NARRATOR: Consider the map. On Gadigal land, a town has been hacked out of rock and forest and named ‘Sydney’ — traced with dirt roads, its hillocks and dwellings, a hand whose fngers tentatively reach towards the sea. There’s Cockle Bay, which has nourished the inhabitants for many thousands of years. Past the Brickfelds, built around the inlets for their clay, is a wilderness of delicately sketched sand hills. That sandy expanse is where we’re standing now, in the shadow of a future clock tower. THE VOICE OF A MAN LEADS PEOPLE IN A HYMN THUD GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL 1: Government Orders, 22nd January 1820.
