Emeritus Professor Garth Ian Gaudry 16 May 1941 Œ 18 October 2012
Emeritus Professor Garth Ian Gaudry 16 May 1941 { 18 October 2012 Emeritus Professor Garth Gaudry died in Sydney on 18 October 2012 after a long battle with a brain tumour. Those of us in the mathematical community will remember him for different reasons; as research collaborators, as a friend, a teacher, lover of red wine, rugby, music and many other things. Above all he will be remembered for leadership in promoting mathematical sciences in the community and politically. Personal connections Garth was my friend and colleague who came into my life at the end of the 1980s. An early encounter involved a meeting in a Carlton coffee caf´e with Garth, David Widdup and me. David was Executive Director of the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies (FASTS) and a wonderful friend of mathematics. Garth was the inaugural President of the Australian Mathematical Sciences Council (AMSC) and I had just become secretary. Garth and David were discussing a press release with what I can only describe as happy enthusiasm. As the language of the press release became more and more colourful, I thought this is going to be an interesting time. So it proved to be. Early history Garth’s family history dates from the First Fleet. It is a fascinating story of which he was rightly proud and so I have reproduced part of a speech his wife Patricia gave at a dinner for his 70th birthday as an appendix. He was the son of a Queensland primary teacher and spent his first nine years in Rockhampton. His father then became head teacher at Tekowai outside of Mackay and Garth completed his secondary education at Mackay High School, riding his Obituary:GarthIanGaudry 43 bike five miles each way. -
Women in Colonial Commerce 1817-1820: the Window of Understanding Provided by the Bank of New South Wales Ledger and Minute Books
WOMEN IN COLONIAL COMMERCE 1817-1820: THE WINDOW OF UNDERSTANDING PROVIDED BY THE BANK OF NEW SOUTH WALES LEDGER AND MINUTE BOOKS Leanne Johns A thesis presented for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the Australian National University, Canberra August 2001 DECLARATION I certify that this thesis is my own work. To the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person where due reference is not made in the text. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Russell Craig, for his inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. He gave insightful and expert advice, reassurance when I needed it most, and above all, never lost faith in me. Few supervisors can have been so generous with their time and so unfailing in their support. I also thank sincerely Professor Simon Ville and Dr. Sarah Jenkins for their measured and sage advice. It always came at the right point in the thesis and often helped me through a difficult patch. Westpac Historical Services archivists were extremely positive and supportive of my task. I am grateful to them for the assistance they so generously gave and for allowing me to peruse and handle their priceless treasures. This thesis would not have been possible without their cooperation. To my family, who were ever enthusiastic about my project and who always encouraged and championed me, I offer my thanks and my love. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the thousands of colonial women who endured privations, sufferings and loneliness with indomitable courage. -

'are made to be broken'; why do we think like that? Inside this issue: If we were serious about doing something positive, or on the other hand to give up doing something that is affecting us, .either way we have shown that we want to do 'ews of Members 2 things differently, or at least attempt to improve what we do, or how we say it. The service we provide for example is one of the improvements we can make, the goods or articles we produce, the information we give to others and the way we give it, can Hulks Exhibition 3 always be improved.

Please consider the way you feel about the Australia's First Constable Fellowship, and if you have some helpful suggestions about things we do or don't do, (continued) 9-10 put pen to paper, or fingers to the key-board, and let me know. -
Crime in a Convict Republic John Braithwaite*
Crime in a Convict Republic John Braithwaite* ‘I t is much easier to extirpate than to amend Mankind.’ Sir William Blackstone Five stages in the history of regulation are derived from the literature as a starting framework for this essay. These stages are outlined in the first section. This five-stage model is then confronted and revised in light of the neglected case of the Australian penal colony. It is juxtaposed throughout the paper with the history of the regulation of crime in the US. Australian convict society is found to be brutal yet forgiving. We conclude that surprisingly high levels of procedural justice and reintegration in Australian convict society drive down crime rates at a remarkable rate in the nineteenth century. In contrast American slave society is characterised by procedural injustice, exclusion and stigmatisation, which delivers high crime rates. Following Heimer and Staffen’s theory, reintegration and procedural fairness are found to arise in conditions where the powerful are dependent on the deviant.1 Acute labour shortage is the basis of a reintegrative assignment system for Australian convicts to work in the free community. While convicts change Australia in very Australian ways, we find that many of these developments are not uniquely Australian and so a revision of the five-phase model is proposed. The revision also implies that Foucault’s distinction between governing the body versus governing the soul (corporal/capital punishment versus the penitentiary) is less central than exclusion versus inclusion (banishment versus restorative justice) to understanding all stages of the history of regulation. A Perspective on the History of Regulation The historical vision of criminologists, sociologists and philosophers of punishment alike is impoverished at this point in history. -

NOTES on the SEALING INDUSTRY of EARLY AUSTRALIA [By J
218 NOTES ON THE SEALING INDUSTRY OF EARLY AUSTRALIA [By J. C. H. GILL, B.A., LL.B.] (AU rights reserved.) (Read at a Meeting of the Society on 23 February 1967.) Last year, when I read you my "Notes on the Genesis of the A ustralian Whaling Industry and its Subsequent Develop ments up to 1850," I mentioned that I had studiously avoided references to the Seal fisheries. Although this trade was in some respects closely aUied to whaling—in fact some pro tagonists went after both whales and seals — it involved different methods and was not as long lived an industry as the whaling. There is also available a wealth of material about the seal ing industry, which in its own way was every bit as colourful as the whaling; therefore it seemed to merit being dealt with in a separate paper. However, like the whaling, that very wealth of material makes it necessary to deal with the subject of the sealing industry in a paper of this nature in the form of notes rather than an attempt at a definitive account, although an attempt has been made to give the notes narrative form. VICTIM OF OIL HUNGER The seals of Australasia, like the whales of this area, became, but not to the extent of the whales, the victims of the oil-hunger of the advancing machine technology of the Industrial Revolution. There were some who regarded seal oil as infinitely superior to whale oU."^ However, what really brought about the near extinction of the seals in this area was the value of their skins, firstly on the Chinese market and secondly, in the fur-felt hat making process invented by a Mr. -

Since 1976 the Fellowship has been installing honour the memory of First Fleeter and pioneer of Ryde, Ann memorial plaques wherever our founders have been buried Colpitts, who was buried there in 1832. and today’s is the 120th such dedication. The hard work over many years by the late #13, Joan Ross, Ian explained that the work of identifying and then memori- and also #8002, David McGrath, and others has resulted in the alising such burial sites is usually bound up with official re- provision, by the family, of the handsome stone to sit along- quirements and is most often quite time-consuming. First, the side that of Ann’s husband Joseph Hatton. As is the custom on family must grant permission for the installation and dedica- such occasions, the Fellowship had put in place in front of the tion to go ahead and then come the hurdles of local govern- family memorial, its usual plaque on a small plinth.
