The first charge was on the oath of Henry Hutchings for assaulting him on the highway and demanding his money at the Chapelry of St. James, Bishop's Canning. The second was for unlawfully, maliciously and feloniously assaulting Henry Hutchings with a stick with a felonious intent to steal his monies and goods against the statute. Lynch was sentenced to be hanged, but was reprieved and transported for seven years.1 Aged 22, he was later delivered to the Alexander and sailed with the First Fleet in 1787. Ann Stokes was tried at Warwick in March 1788 and transported on the Lady Juliana in 1790. They were both sent to Norfolk Island — Humphrey on the Sirius in 1790 and Ann on the Surprise, also in 1790. No record has been found of their marriage or the births/baptisms of any children. When Humphrey and his wife left Norfolk Island for Van Diemen's Land they were recorded as having had 15 acres of land on the island.2 A land grant of 30 acres at Clarence Plains was issued to them by Governor Macquarie in 1813. Ann Lynch died on 26 February 1816 at the age of 67 and was buried at St. David's. Humphrey Lynch was found hanged at New Town on 29 December 1816 by another Norfolk Island settler, Dennis Geary {City of Edinburgh, 1808). Humphrey's death and burial are not recorded in the official records and the PORPOISE 29 HMS PORPOISE - 3 The HMS Porpoise - 3* was purchased by the British Admiralty in 1804. Her length was 100 feet, width 30 feet, weight 399 tons and she was mounted with ten guns. She arrived from England under the command of Lieutenant Putland (son- in-law of Governor Bligh) in early August 1806, in the company of the Fortune, Lady Sinclair and the Alexander. Lieutenant-Governor Bligh, the new governor of New South Wales, was on board the Lady Sinclair. On the arrival of the Porpoise, Governor Bligh ordered his Broad Pennant to be hoisted on boarding her, and was given a 15-gun salute. Then on 13 August 1806 she again took the salute, firing 12-15 guns in honour of Lieutenant-Governor King on his departure to England, immediately followed by a 15-gun salute on Bligh taking command of the colony. The Porpoise left Port Jackson for Norfolk Island on 28 May 1807 under the command of Lieutenant Simmons on colonial business (Lieutenant Putland having taken ill) which included taking government dispatches and stores to Van Diemen's Land via Norfolk Island. Again she was welcomed with a 13-gun salute on arriving at Hobart Town. During her stay her officers were entertained by a visiting American whaler, the Topaz, receiving a gift from her of 800 gallons of rum and 150 gallons of gin. The Porpoise returned to Port Jackson on 8 November 1807. The following month she left Port Jackson. Her orders were to evacuate the second contingent of settlers and their families from Norfolk Island and deliver them to Hobart Town. On leaving the island the settlers were rostered to take their turn at the watch. Water being short it was rationed to half a pint for each of the sheep and goats and one gallon for the cattle on board. Even with these precautions a large number of the stock were lost on the 22-day journey. A fire surrounding the township of Hobart, caused by bushfires brought about by extreme temperature, was observed by those aboard the Porpoise on her arrival. The Reverend Knopwood wrote in his diary that a gun was fired from the Porpoise the following morning for the pilot. On board were 180 settlers and their families. By 10 o'clock she was anchored in the bay and all those aboard were ready to attend the 11 o'clock Sunday church service. On conclusion of the service the minister received several of the officers. At 8 o'clock on Monday 18 January 1808 the colours were hoisted in honour of the birthday of Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III. The Ordinance fired two guns at 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock, the Porpoise doing the same. That night the Reverend Knopwood dined aboard the Porpoise. A week later he was again invited to dine as she was sailing back to Port Jackson with Lieutenant Simmons, Lieutenant Ellison, Mr Slone the Purser, and Mr Lutterell on board as passengers. While researching the Porpoise it was discovered that the name Porpoise was * The designations Porpoise - 1, 2 and 3 are used only for reference here, not to indicate that there were only three ships called the Porpoise. 34 EXILED!

    2020 Reflections on Australian Foundation Narratives in January

    2020 reflections on Australian foundation narratives In January 2019 the coincidence of three important events provided a rare moment to reflect on Australian history and its on-going relevance for Australians today. The first of these, Australia Day, has since 1988 - the bicentenary of European settlement, become a major public holiday and national anniversary celebrated on 26 January, the date historically that the colony of New South Wales was officially established with the raising of the Union flag in Sydney Cove in 1788. Prior to 1988, amongst the seven states and territories forming the national federation, the 26 January tended to be looked at as a singularly New South Wales anniversary, leaving the other states to celebrate anniversaries relating to their own distinct colonial foundations. It should be remembered that the initial British settlement in Australia was confined to the east coast of the continent, to that part claimed by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770 during his survey of the east coast on board the bark Endeavour. By 1787, in the commission appointing Arthur Phillip Governor of the new colony, the territory of New South Wales had grown considerably and was defined as: …extending from the northern cape or extremity of the coast, called Cape York, in latitude of ten degrees thirty-seven minutes south, to the southern extremity of the said territory of New South Wales or South Cape, in the latitude of Forty-three degrees thirty-nine minutes south, and of all the country inland to the westward, as far as the one hundred and thirty-fifth degree of east longitude, reckoning from the meridian of Greenwich, including all the islands adjacent in the Pacific Ocean, within the latitudes aforesaid… At the time, the rest of the continent was known as New Holland, the name given to it by the Dutch East India Company following the Dutch discovery of it early in the 17th century and their subsequent mapping of large sections of its coast.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT CAPTAIN MATTHEW FLINDERS Papers, 1801-12 Reel M444 The National Archives Kew, Richmond Surrey TW9 4DU National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1960 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Matthew Flinders (1774-1814) was born in Donington, Lincolnshire. He entered the Royal Navy in 1789 and in 1791 made his first visit to the Pacific, serving as a midshipman on HMS Providence under William Bligh. In 1795 he sailed to New South Wales on HMS Reliance and, with George Bass, explored the coast south of Sydney. In 1798-99 he and Bass explored Bass Strait and made the first circumnavigation of Van Diemen’s Land. He returned to England in 1800. In 1801 Flinders was promoted to the rank of commander and given command of a sloop, HMS Investigator . He received orders from the Admiralty to explore the unknown southern coast of Australia. He reached Cape Leeuwin in December 1801 and sailing eastwards he charted the Great Australia Bight, Spencer’s Gulf, St Vincent’s Gulf, Kangaroo Island, and Encounter Bay, where he met the French explorer Nicolas Baudin. He explored Port Phillip Bay before reaching Sydney in May 1802. In July 1802 Flinders resumed the survey, sailing north to Cape York and the Gulf of Carpentaria. He found that the Investigator was in a very poor state and was forced to abandon the survey, but he was able to return by way of the western coast and thereby complete the circumnavigation of Australia. He reached Sydney in June 1803. In August 1803 Flinders sailed as a passenger on HMS Porpoise, but the ship was wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef.

The shared interest in historically important books, paintings and manuscripts has always helped to form a Olink that bridges countries and cultures and makes conversations flow easily. Such exchanges have been deeply enriching for me and none more so than the long friendship I have enjoyed with Bob Edwards. Bob’s gentle demeanour veils a strong character; he is an intelligent collector and an insightful man. Over the decades we have been friends, our shared bookshop cups of tea have always been accompanied by wide-ranging and fascinating discussions – anthropology, Aboriginal art, museum exhibitions, development of new museums and galleries, books, politics and our families – nothing has been too big or too small for us to discuss. Bob has an open mind and a generous spirit and I have been fortunate to see him at times when he has been taking small breaks from his hectic work life.

The “new” School (since 1885): Park Road Whilst other works have described The King’s School's development as an institution since it was re- founded as a Cathedral Grammar School under King Henry VIII, comments on its personnel have mainly been confined to the professional deeds of a few Headmasters.

While each Headmaster held sway, their personality and character greatly affected many lives, with the ripples then radiating far and wide.
