Glatton; acknowledged by Lord Hobart, 30th November, 1803.) My Lord, S., N. S. Wales, May 9th, 1803. Report on With this I have the Honor of transmitting the Official prisoners report of offenders tried by the Criminal Court of Judicature tried by the criminal court. between Sepr. 28th 1800 when I took the Command and the present date as above. In exercising the executive Authority, dispensing His Majesty's Mercy as delegated to His Governor of this Territory I hope it will appear, that the execution of those who have suffered, was from the most imperious necessity of Example, nor has any possible opening of mitigation or pardon Irish convicts been unnoticed.—The list of 14 Men Condemned lately to die, sentenced to was caused by one of those unhappy events that happen more or death. less on the importation of each Cargoe of Irish Convicts—The excesses those people committed, during the short time they were at large, is an earnest of what their conduct would be if not closely watched—Your Lordship will observe that only Two were executed and the rest pardoned—These wild Schemes are generally renewed by this description as often as a ship from Ireland arrives, and when checked nothing more is heard about it, 'till the next arrival; It is the people who arrive by the last Ships who make similar attempts, and not those who have been here any time. Proposed Your Lordships observation in your last respecting, " My Sug­ reforms in gestion of making an alteration in the existing mode of consti­ constitution of tuting the Criminal Court of Jurisdiction* in New South Wales criminal court. by introducing a mixture of Civil, with Military and Naval Officers, of which it is at present formed, appears to be deserving •Note 91. KING TO HOBART. 243 attention." I beg leave to intrude this subject further on your 1803. Lordship's attention as the Members of that Court not only sit 9 ^' in Judgement on the lives, but also on the personal liberty of Proposed His Majesty's Subjects—There are many respectable Gentlemen constitution of here, both as Officers of the Civil establishment and Merchants, crlmimlcour t who never have been under the Sentence of the Law—and in that case I humbly presume that Justice may be more impartialy dispenced by a Mixture of Members, than being confined to one professional Class of People which generally consists of Military Officers alone, many of whom are very young Men. I have the Honor to enclose a Correspondence on which I shall not trouble your Lordship with any other Comment than the Marginal Notes I have made except to request being informed, Trial of whether the Colonial Surgeons being on the Civil Establishment, court martial. are amenable to be tried by Court Martial for Offences which the Statute Law has provided a punishment for. I have, etc., PHILIP GIDLEY KING. [Enclosures.] [Copies of the report and correspondence* are not available.] GOVERNOR KING TO LORD HOBART. (Despatch per H.M.S. Glatton; acknowledged by Lord Hobart, 30th November, 1803.) My Lord, Sydney, New South Wales, 9th May, 1803. As an arduous, anxious, and honorable discharge of my duty, as His Majesty's Governor of this colony, has drawn on me the assassinating and dark attacks of those who dare not avow Attacks made themselves, as well as the opposition and insults I have received on ing' in discharge of my duty from those who ought to have shewn a different line of conduct, I have felt it a duty I owe to His Majesty's service, to the public, and myself, to request your Lord­ ship's attention to the different despatches I have the honor to Despatches forward by this conveyance, a list of which I have the honor totransmitted - enclose, and in elucidation my former despatches will afford proof of what my conduct has been.
