  • Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839
    Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839. Margaret C. Dillon B.A. (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) University of Tasmania April 2008 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, 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. Margaret C. Dillon. -ii- This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Margaret C. Dillon -iii- Abstract This thesis examines the lives of the convict workers who constituted the primary work force in the Campbell Town district in Van Diemen’s Land during the assignment period but focuses particularly on the 1830s. Over 1000 assigned men and women, ganged government convicts, convict police and ticket holders became the district’s unfree working class. Although studies have been completed on each of the groups separately, especially female convicts and ganged convicts, no holistic studies have investigated how convicts were integrated into a district as its multi-layered working class and the ways this affected their working and leisure lives and their interactions with their employers. Research has paid particular attention to the Lower Court records for 1835 to extract both quantitative data about the management of different groups of convicts, and also to provide more specific narratives about aspects of their work and leisure.

Michael R. Wolter A Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney March 2014 Abstract This thesis uses an aural analysis of penal-era Australia to enliven, and unsettle, discussion of convict subjectivity within penal-era historiography. The ‘search for the convict voice’, the quest to discover something of the inner-lives of figures that have transfixed Australians for generations, is expanded as well as complicated by an analysis of the sounds of penal life.

  • Nineteenth-Century Literary Culture and The
    3 Lag fever, flash men, and late fashionable worlds Clara Tuite Our story starts not in the southern colonies but with a canonical scene of literary expatriation and scandalous celebrity: Lord Byron in Genoa, spend- ing the spring of 1823 with the so-called ‘Blessington circus’, a tight little entourage of idler-adventurers who cast their web across Ireland, England, and continental Europe. The ‘circus’ was named for the Irish author and lit- erary hostess Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington, and her second husband, Charles John Gardiner, the Earl of Blessington. It also included Blessington’s daughter, Lady Harriet Gardiner, and Alfred, Count D’Orsay – Marguerite’s companion, supposed lover, and surrogate son, supposedly the Earl’s lover as well, and Harriet’s husband for a few years. It was a tangled web they wove. Lady Blessington had a shadowy past. Born Margaret Power in Tipper- ary, she had been married off young by her father, an abusive minor land- owner. Having left her drunken husband, she later became, as she put it, ‘that despised thing, a kept mistress’, excluded from respectable London society even after her marriage to Blessington in 1818.1 In autumn 1821, she met twenty-year-old Alfred, the second son of a general in Napoleon’s Grand Armée. Alfred had taken up a position in the army of the restored Bourbon monarchy, but in 1823 resigned his commission to travel with the Blessing- tons in Italy and France. A spectacularly beautiful Regency Adonis, D’Orsay was known as ‘the king of dandies’, with all the ambiguity that entails: ‘mannish rather than manly’, he was ‘resplendent like a beetle’ and ‘like some gorgeous dragonfly skimming through the air’.2 Representations of D’Orsay often featured him on horseback, as in the background of the 1834 lithograph by the Irish artist Daniel Maclise, published in Fraser’s Magazine (Figure 3.1).

  • FIGURING FOLK JUSTICE Francis Howard Greenway's Prison
    INDEX JOURNAL ISSUE NO. 2 – LAW Helen Hughes – Figuring Folk Justice FIGURING FOLK JUSTICE Francis Howard Greenway’s Prison Scenes from Newgate, Bristol, 1812 by Helen Hughes HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.38030/INDEX-JOURNAL.2020.2.2 39 INDEX JOURNAL ISSUE NO. 2 – LAW Helen Hughes – Figuring Folk Justice INTRODUCTION Francis Howard Greenway’s pair of oil paintings, The Mock Trial and Untitled [Scene inside Newgate], 1812, are sometimes celebrated as the only known artworks made by an Australian convict to depict imprisonment in a British gaol prior to transportation. Whether or not this claim is true, the paintings undoubtedly offer valuable insight. In the first instance, they depict in detail English prison life at the tail end of the long eighteenth century, just prior to nation-wide reform based on the recommendations of figures like John Howard, Jeremy Bentham, Thomas Fowell Buxton, James Neild, and Elizabeth Fry. Secondly, by capturing the proceedings of a mock trial, Greenway’s paintings distil into an image the coexistence of different modalities of law and justice during a transitional moment in English legal history. Greenway executed the paintings in the decades following the publication of William Blackstone’s landmark Commentaries on the Laws of England in 1765, which synthesised a range of material, legal, mythical, historical, and ideological precedents to present a picture of the common law as a principled and coherent legal structure—one to which all Englishmen were equally subject. Put another way, Greenway painted these images while English law was undergoing a formative shift: from a decentralised, localised, often unwritten, and customary practice, to a centralised, bureaucratised, written, and formal structure.

  • William Redfern (1774-1833), Surgeon in Colonial New South Wales
    1 William Redfern (Jul-Dec 1774, Ireland or Canada – 17 Jul 1833, Edinburgh Scotland) Convicted of mutiny (but in fact political prisoner). Surgeon (primarily obstetrician) in colonial New South Wales. Labelled Australia’s first medical graduate (even though already had Royal College of Surgeons diploma). The west half of the today’s suburb of Redfern was granted to William Redfern. UNFINISHED timeline of William Redfern’s life. 1774 Date of birth: most probably July to December 1774 Reliable sources: Muster of HMS Standard 1797 - age 22 at 23 Jan 1797. Prison record – age 26 at 18 Jun 1801 Death – age 58 at 17 Jul 1833 Place of birth: Canada Single source: Muster roll of HMS Standard 1797 Considerable anecdotal evidence suggests place of birth was in northern Ireland, probably Belfast. 1777 Unverified baptism in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The Wiltshire Historical Society could not find a baptism for Redfern at this or any other date. 1789 Thomas Redfern in apothecary partnership with John Dodd in Trowbridge. 14yo William lived with his older brother. 1795 Quota system introduced to Royal Navy. Each county must provide a certain quota of men and some counties provided financial incentives. May have applied to Redfern. Dec 1796 The French Republic failed to land troops at Bantry Bay (southern Ireland) to assist the Society of United Irishmen in their republican cause. Tensions between Catholic and Protestant United Irishmen turned murderous when Ulster Presbyterians supported the British. The Society of United Irishmen was founded in Belfast in October 1791. 19 Jan 1797 William Redfearn [sic] obtained diploma from the Company of Surgeons, London (now the Royal College of Surgeons) as “third mate, any rate” (Error? Redfern was first mate in third rate ship).

    1 Replica of a traditional Aboriginal nawi or bark canoe, 2010 Built by James Dodd Stringybark The phrase ‘Nowey, binnie bow [nawi bini-bawu] ––– I will make a Canoe’ was recorded in an Aboriginal vocabulary from the Sydney area in 1791. This canoe is based on descriptions by First Fleet observers, who in 1788 found Warrane (Sydney Cove) crowded with men and women skimming across the waters in their fragile craft. The replica was made from a single sheet of inner bark cut from a stringybark tree (Eucalyptus obliqua) near Batemans Bay, with permission and assistance from Paul Carriage, Aboriginal cultural officer, Forests NSW. The ends were bunched and tied together with stringybark cord.ith stringybark cord. 2 Bennelong Point from Dawes Point, c. 1804 Attributed to John Eyre (b. 1771) Watercolour on card V1/1810/1 ‘They [Natives] often Come on board our ship, which they call an Island …’ David Blackburn to his sister Margaret Blackburn, 17 March 1791 MLMSS 6937/1/1 This watercolour view looking across the water from Dawes Point (Tarra) to Bennelong Point (Tubowgulle) is an early work attributed to artist John Eyre, a convicted housebreaker, who advertised in the Sydney Gazette for a box of watercolours one month after he received his pardon on 4 June 1804. By 1804 some Aboriginal men and women had made the transition from their nawi or bark canoes to English sailing ships, but both kinds of watercraft coexisted in Sydney Cove for many years, as this painting shows. 8 Journal of PG King, April 1790 Philip Gidley King (1758–1808) (reproduction) Acquired from Francis Edwards, 1898 C115, p.
