The authors, years ago, saw the importance of preserving documents and records, which would give authentic data concerning the early times of this Church. In the year 1881, the Victoria and Tasmania Conference directed them to collect such materials, and this request was repeated by the General Conference of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist Church. That trust has been considered a positive and sacred duty by them, and they have fulfilled it with some success, having been largely aided by numerous friends and Circuit authorities, who possessed such records. They sought also to obtain oi'al or written statements from such of the early pioneers who survive to the present time, and they are greatly indebted for such information kindly given by the Revs. W.

  • Catherine Connelly
    CATHERINE CONNELLY: CONVICT, INNKEEPER AND LITIGANT Ian Leader-Elliott1 Female Convicts Research Centre Seminar: Succeeding in the regular economy: the after- math of convict sentences. Saturday 9 May 2015. Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, Hobart [Author’s note: this is a draft paper which provided the basis for the seminar presentation. Some footnotes have been omitted, some are incomplete. Please do not publish in part or in whole without the permission of the author.] Abstract: The seminar programme celebrates convict women who succeeded in the regular economy after serving their time. The story of Catherine Connelly is atypical, a variation on the theme. Catherine was born free and convicted, together with her husband John, of receiving stolen goods in Tasmania in 1836. Her conviction was quickly neutralized by a pardon, granted for no apparent reason. After her pardon Catherine resumed her occupation as a Launceston innkeeper for some years. John Connelly served his time and subsequently remarried, bigamously. Catherine’s re- course to law to secure maintenance from her bigamous husband provides the central theme in this account of her life. It is the story of Catherine’s successful pursuit of a man who never paid his debts unless compelled to do so, who was compelled to pay maintenance to his wife. John Connelly, who displaced his wife with another, was hu- miliated and gaoled. As in many law suits, the money at issue in Catherine’s claim against her husband was not the most important thing. The regular economy includes the economy of the legal system which permits a quest for vengeance to be trans- muted into a courtroom contest in which money is the medium, not the message.

But when her mother, Beth (Portia de Rossi), is unexpectedly sent to rehab, Honey’s visit turns out not to be so quick after all. Honey’s aunt Caroline (Robyn Butler) insists Honey stays with their family until her mother gets better. Ignoring husband Richard’s (Erik Thomson) protests and the fact that Honey’s a movie star, Caroline happily welcomes her niece into her suburban home. Relations between Beth and their other sister, Katie (Lucy Durack), have been strained and Caroline is sure Honey’s visit will bring the family back together in time for Katie’s wedding. Katie’s fiancee, Alex (Hamish Blake) agrees – mainly because he thinks Honey is super cute. Life quickly disintegrates into chaos as Honey adjusts to life without a stylist, chef and an assistant, and her cousins Clare (Philippa Coulthard) and Harriet (Lucinda Armstrong Hall) adjust to having a movie star hogging the bathroom.

Since November 19, 1834, when Edward Henty (aged 24 years) arrived at Portland Bay, there have been three major political events which have shaped the State of Victoria to make it what it is today: 1. Separation of the Port Phillip District (Victoria) from New South Wales – July 1, 1851 – the Separation Association (formed June 4, 1840) was strongly opposed to convict labour and convict settlement, and English military administration from Sydney, 2. The Eureka uprising in the Victorian goldfields, December 3, 1854, and subsequent ‘Not Guilty’ verdicts involving the Melbourne legal establishment many of whom had been vocal supporters of the Separation of Victoria and opposed to the oppressive English military administration, and 3.
