Lucy Osburn - Our first professional Nurse Faulconbrige has a strong association with a famous figure in Australian history He is Sir Henry Parkes who came to this country with his wife and chikten barely able to find the rent for a house and sufficient spare money to buy food. Yet he . rose from near poverty to become Premier of New South Wales between 1872 and 1894. and if often remembered as the Father of Federation. In 1874, a platform was built at Faulconbrige for Sir Henry. and named Faulconbridge after his mother. who had been Miss Martha Faulconbrigde before his marriage. He built a comfortable time home there which he named Stonehurst in memory of his home village. "Stoneleigh" in England. He was later to build a second home at F aulconbridge. and on his death his remains were interred in a gave in the small cemetery adjacent to the ,railway station . where his son. who died at an early age . was also buried. Sir Henry was given a magnificent funeral, but strangely and sadly he was penniless when the died. \.__..-One of the mo st important actions taken by Sir Henr·y was to organi se a grou p of tra 1ned nurses to come to thi s countr·'./. !r: the 1860's he sent an ur·gent e;::>::iea! to Florence Nightingale asking that a grnup ot professional nur·ses come to Sydn ey because the nursing standard in the colony from its first days ha d been unbelieveably bad. Florence Nightingale responded in 1867 by sending a professional nurse. Lucy Osburn, and five nursing probationers who were to work in the Sydney Infirmary (later named Sydney Hospital) and correct its deplorable conditions. In those days the hospitals were rat infested. operations were non­ sterile. and conditions in the wards left much to be desired. So the Nightingale Wing in Sydney Hospital can claim to be the birth place of nursing in Austraiia. The first new Ward was built in 1869 to provide accommodation for the Nightingale nursin g sent 1n response to the appeal made by Sir Henry Parkes ho was an ardent reformer, The nurses sai led for their three month voyage to "-Australia in the "Dunbar Castle". in the case of Lucy Osburn. a resolute, cultured woman aged 32 years, Governor Macquarie and his wife ha'd been the motivators behind the building of the hospital in 1816. and it was originally orderly and clean. but when she arrived Lucy Osborn could not believe the scene of dirt and desolation which she found. Unwashed patients lay in bµg-infested beds. the wards were so crowded that as one patient was carried from it to the mortuary. another climbed into the bed. having sat on a bedside chair waiting for the body to be removed! So Lucy Osburn set to work, In spite of defiant, disrespectful hospital staff, under her instruction the filthy wards were eventually clean , new helpers were employed and a nursing training school opened, Sadly, four of her five original nurses began to plot against her authority, yet Lucy never gave in. although lonely and over worked. By 1873 she was able to write and advise Florence Nightingale claiming some success and progess in achieving a clean hospital and a more co-operative staff. As a result of a Royal Commission geater do­ operation began to take place. and sixteen years after her arrival, Lucy Osburn returned home to England, leaving a well-run Sydney Hospital. 3 Today the matron of that hospital may sit in the cedar chair used by Lucy Osburn, happy that the original hospital ward (now known as the Florence Nightingale Ward) created by Lucy Osburn and restored by the Public Works Department for the 1988 Bicentary is a visual tribute to those early nursing days. And Sir Henry Parkes, resting in the peaceful Blue Mountains cemetery at Faulconbridge, which was and tourists may visit. provides a link with some of Sydney's well-known and valuable services to the public. Another exciting "near to home" fact - if members would care to read more about those early days of nursing. in the Society's Library they will find in the reference section, a copy of "The First Fifty Years" by Dorothy Armstrong (RM 70).

  • Some Australian Legal Attitudes of the Nineteenth Century
    Thus, within the greater part of the nineteenth century, legislative uniformity Tradition and Experiment: Some Australian Legal throughout the Empire was not encouraged for its own sake. There were cases Attitudes of the Nineteenth Century where a common standard was valuable, especially in areas of "la~vyers' law" where imperial Acts "codified" or settled complex legal principles. Chalmers' Sale of Goods Act7 is an enduring example. Otherwise, excepting laws affecting "At the present time, Australia is regarded as having emerged from the personal status, of which more is said below, the Colonial Office sympathized colonial state. However, in the field of ideas, its status is still colonial, and with local legislative experirneilts, and actively discouraged servile conformity: this is very apparent in the sphere of legal ideas. ." Thus wrote a critic of procedure in 1950,' and recently Professor Castles has "On balance, the bias within the Office was against uniformity, and against the said much the same of our nineteenth century court systems2 Within limits of literal translation of E~lglishlaw on to the colonial statute book, except in space, we seek to test such general views by sail~plesfrom three strata of law- those few cases where uniformity was clearly desirable in order to avoid con- making and legal administration-the parliaments, the courts, and the legal fusion, or where no obvious harm would ensue. Officials within the Office profession of nineteenth century Australia. were always well aware of the material differences between their own country Our reasons for including "Legislation" and "The Courts" will be obvious. and the various colonial societies, differences which made any hoped-for "The Profession" is, we think, an appropriate if neglected part of the trilogy.

  • Sir Alfred Stephen and the Jury Question in Van Diemen's Land
    Sir Alfred Stephen and the Jury Question in Van Diemen's Land The Quest for Trial by Jury Just as a child grows and develops into an adult, it cannot but be in- fluenced by background, environment and social conditioning. So it was with the young Van Diemen's Land. Initially, there was the Eng- lish political, social and economic inheritance, which had a great ef- fect on the form of government adopted. Like an authoritarian parent stood the Imperial Parliament, but at the same time, offering some latitude for Van Diemen's Land to engage in some liberal develop- ment. Like a child, Van Diemen's Land offered little resistance. There was a Governor, a judiciary of sorts, and an administrative bu- reaucracy with control over Van Diemen's Land by way of legislation of the Imperial Parliament, such as that of 182 3, 182 8 and 1842. This control led to Van Diemen's Land becoming firmly under the grip of Mother England. The colony now consisted of free settlers, convicts and emancipists, and a few Aboriginals. The colonists must have coined the Nike catch phrase 'Just Do It (for yourself)!' for they sought to enhance their own success and to empower themselves. This was consistent with the attitude of imperialist conquerors throughout the old British Em- pire: to get what they could for themselves in the way of wealth, con- trol and power. There is no better example of this than Governor George Arthur, a career civil servant who amassed a fortune as a landowner and trader, not only in Van Diemen's Land but in other colonies where he saw service.

    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES BANCO COURT ALLSOP P AND JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT Wednesday 1 June 2011 SWEARING-IN CEREMONY OF THE HONOURABLE THOMAS FREDERICK BATHURST QC AS CHIEF JUSTICE OF NEW SOUTH WALES 1 BATHURST CJ: President, I have the honour to announce that I have been appointed Chief Justice of this Court. I present to you my Commission. 2 ALLSOP P: Thank you Chief Justice. Would you please be seated whilst the Commission is read. (Commission read) 3 Chief Justice, I now ask you to rise and take the oaths of office, first the oath of allegiance and then the judicial oath. (Oaths of office taken) 4 THE HONOURABLE GREG SMITH SC MP, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEW SOUTH WALES: Your Honour, on behalf of the State of New South Wales and the New South Wales Bar, I congratulate you on your appointment as Chief Justice of the New South Wales Supreme Court. 5 You are now custodian of one of the oldest public offices in Australia. The first Chief Justice, Sir Francis Forbes, took his place in 1824 and you will - 1 - be the seventeenth. However, number five, Sir Julian Salomons, stepped down after fifteen days before he even got to hear a case. His problem was that his appointment was not well received. 6 This is not a problem facing your Honour. In fact, your elevation has been widely acclaimed, particularly among the Sydney Commercial Bar. One such beneficiary said, “Tom was simply briefed in every commercial matter of any significance going.

  • 1 Plunkett's Disappointment
    [2006] ANZLH E-Journal PLUNKETT’S DISAPPOINTMENT: THE REVELANCE OF CATHOLICISM TO A JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT TO THE NEW SOUTH WALES BENCH IN THE 1840s Tony Earls* Prior to the introduction of responsible government in 1856, New South Wales had three Chief Justices, successively; Forbes, Dowling and Stephen. The Crown appointed Forbes on the advice of the Colonial Office in London. With the appointments of Dowling and Stephen, the Colonial Office looked to the advice of the Governor of New South Wales to make an appointment from within the local legal profession. Although William Burton challenged Dowling’s claim to succeed Forbes on a question of seniority, it was the events that led up to the appointment of Stephen, involving two highly credentialed and ambitious candidates, that first tested substantial questions as to rights of precedence and other factors relevant to the appointment. It need hardly be said that the appointment was, and is, a prestigious and important one. However, in order to consider the implications of an appointment, it is useful to attempt to explain why. For the individual, it is the pinnacle of any legal career, affording status and power in their own time and posterity thereafter. In the first half of the nineteenth century this was particularly true when it came to questions of social and governmental rank.1 Amongst other things, a Chief Justice might expect a knighthood following appointment as Chief Justice. As a force in society, the primary influence of a Chief Justice relates not only to the judgement of major cases, but to the administration of the courts, the keystone of the legal system.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR WILLIAM DENISON Papers, 1846-64 Reels M606-607, M671 Col. W.M.W. Denison Newark Nottinghamshire National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1960 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE William Thomas Denison (1804-1871) was born in London and attended Eton and the Royal Military College. He graduated in 1826 as a lieutenant in the Royal Engineers. He served in Canada and later worked on harbour defences in southern England. In 1838 he married Caroline Hornby and they had six sons and four daughters. He was promoted to the rank of captain in 1841. In 1846, following the dismissal of Sir John Eardley-Wilmot, he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen’s Land. He was knighted in the same year and awarded a KCB in 1856. He arrived in the colony in January 1847 and held the office for eight years. A strong supporter of the continuance of convict transportation, he clashed with the nominated Legislative Council and two of the judges. The publication of some of his despatches, criticising the colonists generally, added to his unpopularity. His powers were reduced following the creation of an elected Legislative Council in 1850 and, with the cessation of transportation, his later years in Tasmania were more harmonious. In January 1855 Denison was appointed Governor of New South Wales and was given the additional title of ‘Governor-General of Australia’. Prompted by the Crimean War, he immediately reorganised the defences of Sydney Harbour. He presided over the introduction of responsible government in the colony in 1856 and had to deal with considerable political instability, with three ministries formed in the first year.
