COLONIAL TIMES, 21 JULY 1848 – THE MURDER AT NORFOLK PLAINS – The probation servant who was taken in charge shortly after the discovery of the murder, has made a full confession, from which it would appear that a young man named Jordan is the principal in the dreadful crime. The servant states that Jordan took a pair of boots to Youram’s, and having murdered him by striking him on the head with a hammer, and beating him with a spade, returned home terrified, communicated to the servant what he had done, avowing that his heart failed him, and he had not courage to search for the old man’s money. Upon this, says the approver, they went out in company, searched the place, and found ₤50, which they shared. This is the substance of a long and detailed statement, which is backed by other circumstances of strong suspicion against Jordan.

Born in Hyderabad Deccan, Zimran was sent to Norfolk Island and in 1813 was removed to Port Dalrymple in Van Diemen's Land as a third class passenger on the Lady Nelson with John Hassan. He was given a 40 acre land grant to permit him to be economically independent.[58] Unfortunately he did not live long to enjoy it as two currency lads (locally born men) beat him to death. [59] for he was one of most prosperous person of that time involved with building of infra structure activities in this British colony . Book: “Flotsam and Jetsam” – Chapter VII : A shocking murder was committed at Norfolk Plains on the night of 6th July 1848. An old man of eighty-five, named Zimraim Youram, was found dead in his hut, his head having been beaten in with a hammer. A prisoner named Patrick McDonough, in the service of Mr Jordan, was arrested on suspicion, and confessed that his master’s son, John Jordan, had committed the crime to get the old man’s money; that he then got frightened and left, but returned with McDonough to search the place, and that they found £50 which they shared. Jordon’s account was that the crime had been planned and executed by McDonough through he was present, and that the got £37.10s This statement was generally believed, but Jordan was convicted on 4th October and executed on 7th November. McDonough was acquitted on the capital charge. I had known Jordan quite well as he had been apprenticed to a Mr George Ross, a shoemaker in Wellington- street, who was also one of the deacons of Tamar-street Church. Jordan was only about twenty-two, and was preparing to marry a respectable girl. This is another illustration of the blighting effect of convictism on the social condition of the people. http://www.archive.org/stream/flotsamjetsamflo00buttiala#page/118/mode/2up/search/murder http://www.ozgenonline.com/~riacaroline/LongfordChristChurchPioneerCemetery.html Headstone of Zimran Youram, at Longford Pioneer Cemetery – headstone reads: “In memory of Zimram Youram (Illegible) Who Died 6 July 1848 Aged 89 Years Z.Y. 1848” Figure 1 : Headstone of Zimran Youram Last Updated: 18 February 2012 Compiled by Trish Symonds .
