[email protected] Hordern House recently received the wonderful library of Dr Robert Edwards AO, and over the next year or two we will be offering the library for sale. Bob is one of the great figures of Australian cultural history, at different times working as a leading anthropologist, a central figure in the study of indigenous art, a museum director and a driving force behind many of the international blockbuster art shows to travel to Australia. His early training as an anthropologist saw him doing fieldwork in remote Australia, and led to him becoming a museum curator in the 1960s and 70s. He was the founding director of the Australia Council’s Aboriginal Arts Board, perhaps most famous for its support of the Papunya Tula artists. He was the Director of the Museum of Victoria from 1984-90, the founding chairman of the National Museum of Australia and the founding chairman of the National Portrait Gallery. He has also for many years been the chief executive of Art Exhibitions Australia which brought to Australia significant exhibitions, including the Entombed Warriors from China (1982), Claude Monet (1985), Van Gogh (1993) and Rembrandt (1997). Bob is an ardent bibliophile, and his Library reflects the discerning taste of a knowledgeable and educated collector. Some books are of such rarity that they are known in only a handful of copies, and his collection embraces early Australian printing, early works on the Australian Aborigines, the major early voyage accounts, as well as works on early settlement and inland exploration.

  • Edwin Withers and the Struggle for Fair Trial Rights in Colonial New South Wales
    ‘Mad’ Edwin Withers and the Struggle for Fair Trial Rights in Colonial New South Wales Eugene Schofield-Georgeson* Since the 1980s, a number of fair trial rights and civil liberties have been eroded in Australia, particularly in respect to summary justice and police powers. This article traces the ‘bottom-up’ origins of some of those rights and liberties in colonial New South Wales. It focuses on the activist Edwin Withers and his interactions with the Parramatta magistracy in the mid 1840s. The Withers example enables us to see how some fair trial rights and civil liberties resulted from community-based social activism, which relied upon the legislature and higher court authority to become law. The importance of these rights — for example, the right to counsel, the right to a fair and impartial tribunal and protection against arbitrary detention — is demonstrated by the very fact that they issued from the working and middle classes and are implicated within wider class relationships involving residents of a local community. Using archival research and qualitative analysis, this article has important implications for Australian legal history in relation to the adoption of the Jervis Acts 1848 (UK), some of the first summary procedure legislation enacted within colonial NSW. The article demonstrates how the fair trial rights campaign at Parramatta resulted in amendment to the adopted Acts in the colony. Edwin Augustus Withers was a colonial intellectual and an eccentric. He was the proprietor of the Temperance Coffee-House at the settlement of Parramatta in colonial New South Wales during the 1840s. Little else is known about him.

  • Abstract Burkett, Melanie Lynne
    ABSTRACT BURKETT, MELANIE LYNNE. Australian Legend, Australian Lives: The Interplay Between Representations of Early Nineteenth-Century New South Wales and the Experiences of Free Immigrants. (Under the direction of Brent Sirota). The early nineteenth century saw both the onset of Great Britain’s industrial revolution and a substantial wave of emigration to Britain’s colonies. In the Australian colony of New South Wales, the population of free immigrants grew significantly for the first time with the advent of government-assisted emigration in 1831, a time when the colony continued to receive transported convicts from Great Britain. Why did these free emigrants take the bold risk of leaving behind their homes and, furthermore, choose a penal colony for their destination? An examination of information available about the colony in the British popular press and of immigrants’ self-disclosed motivations (as recorded in diaries, reminiscences, and letters home) revealed an image of New South Wales as a place where immigrants could achieve financial stability, self-sufficiency, and access to the land. Following those personal documents through the immigrants’ early years in New South Wales uncovered the depths of the adjustment immigrants faced. Expectations set by the popular press were not always realized and immigrants found themselves living among unfamiliar types of people, including convicts. These frustrated and confounded expectations endured by some of the earliest free immigrants to the colony shaped the set of cultural values the young society embraced. As the colonies in Australia matured, a literary representation – a self-image – developed. Russel Ward christened this definitively masculine archetype the “Australian legend” and argued it evolved based on the experiences of the convicts.

First is a study of Irish soprano Catherine Hayes (1818–1861) and her tours to NSW and Victoria in 1854 and 1855. Hayes represented a Victorian-era feminine ideal and her concerts, which included both opera and Irish sentimental ballads, were seen to raise the musical standard in Australia. The second study examines a series of public lectures on the subject of ancient Irish music delivered by Irish lawyer John Hubert Plunkett (1802–1869), previously attorney general of NSW. The third is a study of The Australian Album for 1857.

  • Conflict on the Colonial Frontier and R V Kilmeister (No 2)
    Native Tears: Conflict on the Colonial Frontier and R v Kilmeister (No 2) Haydn Marsh Abstract It is undisputed that the Myall Creek massacre of 1838, which saw the brutal murder of 28 Aboriginal Australians in the harsh conditions of colonial NSW, continues to be one of the darkest days in Australian history. As such it is appropriate in the light of modern considerations of reconciliation that the causes behind the events which took place at Myall Creek, and the consequences of the litigation which followed, be critically examined from both a legal and historical perspective. This essay seeks to explore why the litigation surrounding the Myall Creek massacre caused such disruption in the context of the frontier conditions of colonial NSW. It also seeks to examine the appropriateness of the actions of the colonial authorities, and the extent to which the atrocities which occurred following the completion of the trial of R v Kilmeister (No 2) can be attributed to the colonial Government. In making this examination this essay will consider both legal and historical sources, and demonstrate that the conflict between the law recognising Aboriginal Australians as subjects of the crown and therefore afforded protections of the state, and the sentiments of frontier colonists, caused an inconsistent application of the law, and ultimately resulted in further lawlessness on the colonial frontier with horrific consequences for Aboriginal Australians. Introduction Through an examination of the legal and historical environment surrounding the Myall Creek massacre this essay will argue that there was a conflict present in colonial New South Wales (NSW) between the enforced formal law which enshrined the recognition of Aboriginal Australians as subjects of the Crown, and the real conditions of the colonial frontier where considerations of law were subjugated to considerations of survival and emerging behavioural norms.

  • A Fair Criminal Trial in 19Th Century Australia
    “THE PRISONERS COULD NOT HAVE THAT FAIR AND IMPARTIAL TRIAL WHICH JUSTICE DEMANDS”: A FAIR CRIMINAL TRIAL IN 19TH CENTURY AUSTRALIA David Plater* and Victoria Geason** Abstract The notion of a “ fair and impartial trial which justice demands” requires jurors to have regard only to the evidence presented at trial and discount anything they may hear or read outside court. Prejudicial publicity and prejudgement challenging an impartial jury is not a new problem, but have proved problematic since at least the 1800s. This article considers how trial by media was a recurring 19th-century concern in both sensational and routine criminal cases in England and Australia. The authors draw on the extensive press archives of the period and through examples of 19th-century Australian case studies (reinforced by English examples) examine the problem of prejudicial pre-trial publicity and the various 19th-century remedies to address publicity and bias. It is argued that these remedies were of little utility and trust was placed in the ability of 19th-century jurors to heed judicial directions to have regard to only the evidence led at trial. Though this premise was (and remains) questioned, 19th-century juries proved capable of ignoring even the most hostile pre-trial publicity and an impartial jury was not an ignorant jury. It is argued that 19th-century jurors ultimately had to be trusted to follow judicial directions. This premise remains but its continued validity is now further challenged by the internet and social media. I. Introduction … the public mind has been considerably prejudiced.
