Hobart
26 De Witt Street
18th September 1901

My dear Sir,

As an old Civil Servant retired on a pension, having served for many years in the Chief Secretary’s Office, I have no hesitation in saying that the “General and Garrison orders given by David Collins Esq’re, Lieut Governor of Port Phillip & Lieut. Colonel

James Aikman, Esq.,
Hobart

[Page 5]

of the Royal Marines”, are the originals.

The Volume is complete in every respect and contains a very interesting, valuable and authentic account of the first settlement in Port Phillip in 1803, and of Risdon and Hobart Town in 1804.

The first General and Garrison Order is dated the “16th October 1803, -

[Page 6]

Sullivan Bay” and the last, - “Hobart Town - 3rd May, 1808”.

I remain,
Yours very truly,
H.E. Smith
Late Chief Clerk,
Chief Secretary’s Office
Tasmania

The Lt. Colonel on taking command of the Detachment of Royal Marines, landed at Port Phillip, entertains a hope that they will all feel a just sense of the honourable situation in which they are placed. They have been selected by the Sovereign, to compose the Garrison for the Protection of the Infant Settlement. He trusts this will stimulate them to use their best exertions, and enable the Lt. Colonel to report to the Secretary of State, that such a trust has not been unworthily placed in them.

He hopes they all know that obedience to orders, Sobriety, and cleanliness, form the essential points in the character of a good Soldier. While he observes that these are attended to, he shall feel a Pride in having them under his Command, and shall hold it his duty by every means in his Power, to render their situation comfortable.

He is unwilling to mention the word Punishment, but it is necessary they should know his firm determination to have

[Page 32]

the strictest obedience paid to such orders, as he may think proper to give from time to time for their regulation, and trusts, that when at a future period, shall be joined by other Detachments of their brave Comrades, he shall be able with pleasure to hold up the small Band, as an example worthy their Imitation.

The Officer of the Day will have the charge of the Guard, and once during the night he will go the Visiting Rounds.

A Patrol of a Corp. and 2 Privates will occasionally between the Relief of the Centinels, go round the Encampment, and take up all persons that they may find after the Taptoo has beat, and bring them to the Quarter Guard.

If such is actually the motive of their absenting themselves, they must inevitably be lost in the attempt, and nothing more will ever be heard of them, for independent of the risk they run in being killed by the natives, it is impossible for them with any Quantity of Provisions they could carry, to ensure the fatigue of penetrating a thousand miles through the woods of this Country, for such would be the distance, which, by rounding the heads of the different harbours that present themselves in their Route, they would have to travel.

The Lt Governor having received such information, from the Commander of His Majesty’s Ship Calcutta, as leads him to suppose, that a large Body of natives is at no very great distance from the Settlement, and as it is very doubtful what may be their motives for coming on this side of Arthur’s Seat, he thinks it necessary to caution the Convicts, and other persons against going in that direction any distance along the Beach, in search of fish in their leisure hours.

He hopes that the Punishment inflicted on Thursday last, on the five delinquents who had absconded will have its weight, with all those who witnessed it. If any should still intend to quit the Settlement in the same manner, he will call to their observation the wretched appearance of Hangan and his two associates, who returned to their duty on Friday night, by whose

[Page 49]

account they will find, that when engaged in a perilous undertaking of that nature, they cannot trust even one another, these People all declaring, that while they were sent to procure water for the whole Party, those who remained took that opportunity of absconding with the Provisions, which they had left in their care, perfectly indifferent as to what might prove their fate. Such treachery must excite the honest indignation of every well disposed mind, and the LtGovernor thinks that, that alone should be sufficient to deter others from associating in so rash, and hazardous an enterprise; If they imagine that the Masters of Ships on quitting this Port, will receive any persons on board without the LtGovernor’s licence let them be undeceived by his assurance, that the owners and masters of Ships sent out to this country, are bound by their Charter Parties to Government, in such heavy Penalties, if known to take away one Individual, without a Certificate that he has permission so to do, that it cannot be their Interest to incur the forfeiture of them: He therefore hopes, he shall not hear any more of absconding from the Settlement.

The Lt Governor hopes the return of Dan.l McAllenon will have convinced the Prisoners of the Misery that must ever attend those who are mad enough to abscond from the Settlement. To warn them from making any attempts of a similar nature they are informed that altho’ this man left his companions on the fifth day after their departure hence they all began to feel the effect of their Imprudence, and more of them would have returned had they not dreaded the Punishment, which they were conscious they deserved. Their Provisions were nearly expended and they had no resources. They lived in constant dread of the Natives by whose Hands it is more than probable they have by this time perish’d, or if this should not have happened how is it possible that strong hearty Men who were always able to consume even more than the liberal allowance of Provisions which is issued to them can exist in a country which no where affords a supply to the Traveller.

The Lieutgovernor can by no means account for this strange desertion of the People, were they ill treated, scantily fed, badly clothed, or wrought beyond their ability he should attribute it to these Causes, but as the reverse is the case, he is at a loss to discover the Motive. He thinks it necessary to advise them not to harbour or supply with their Provisions any

Surgeon’s Report
Upon opening the Thorax, the Pericardium and the sides of the Chest contained a large quantity of water which had stopped the Action of the Lungs. The Heart was unusually large but not otherwise diseased. In the Abdomen I examined the Stomach and Intestines particularly, which were perfectly health and contained a small quantity of half digested food, in which there was nothing remarkable. The Liver was also much enlarged from some former disease.

description of People, Artificers and Labourers to be aiding in forwarding to the utmost of their Abilities the several Works now in hand; with this view he informs the Superintendants of the Carpenters, Sawyers, Stonemasons, and Smiths that no one of the several People under their direction is to be excused from Labour for any Part of the day unless he shall be reported unable to work by the Surgeon, and prevent an Abuse which he understands exists among the Sawyers he further directs; that no man who has not performed the Government Work assigned to him for the Week, shall be permitted work for Individuals in his extra time.

The Superintendant of the Sawyers will see that this order is strictly complied with.

The Settlers will in future receive their Provisions weekly instead of once in four weeks as formerly. This Regulation cannot be attended with any Inconvenience to them, the distance between their Grounds and the Town being so inconsiderable.

The Assistant Dy Commissary will issue one Wooden Board and Platter on Saturday next to each of the Prisoners who have been admitted into this Settlement from Risdon Cove.

It is with much Satisfaction the Lieu.t Governor has observed the readiness with which the People in general have come forward to accommodate their Fellow Prisoners in the Huts which they have been permitted to erect. They may be assured such disposition will not be lost upon him, and to place them upon an equal footing with those who first arrived, he will not for a few days call upon them for labour, (those excepted who are to remain on board to unload the Ocean) during which time they may construct as comfortable residences as they have now found the advantages of here.

It being absolutely requisite for the Security of the Public Stores that the Commissary should at all times be upon the Spot, that Gentleman’s Marquse will be pitched immediately upon Hunter’s Island when he will take charge of the Public Stores and Provisions attending in the Execution of his Duty as well such Orders as he received at Port Philip as those which have been given here, with a Copy of which he will be furnished. He will be particularly careful that no article whatever is delivered to any Person from the Stores without his being present at the delivery.

The Commissary will forthwith furnish the Lieu.t Governor with an exact account of what articles have been issued from the Stores since his departure from Port Phillip specifying to whom and when they were issued.

[Page 109]

The Surgeon will make a similar Return of the Hospital Stores under his charge.

The Prisoners from the Ocean will receive four days Provisions which will be issued to them as they were issued in that Ship but on Saturday or the whole will be distributed into proper Messes.

The Commissary will issue to each of the Prisoners arrived by the Ocean the same Proportion of Cloathing as was issued to the people here on 30th of April last.

The Commanding Officer was much gratified by the healthy and soldierlike appearance of the Detachment which landed yesterday from Port Phillip and by the report made to him by Lieu.t Hadden of their demeanor since his departure from that Place.

The major part of the establishment having been now landed six months on this settlement the Lt. Governor thinks it necessary to apprise the officers civil and military who landed with him, that he has received His Majesty’s commands to signify to them that they are not to be allowed prisoners to wait upon them after the expiration of six months from their landing, without paying for the services of such as they may retain.

This regulation is not intended to apply to the case of those officers to whom the labour of prisoners may be assigned as a remuneration for the discharge of the office of Magistrates or Superintendents but is to apply to the Military who can have no claim of this kind beyond what is allowed to Military officers serving in other Colonies.

The Lieut.

The Lieut. Governor altho’ he trusts that none of the Prisoners under his command would attempt to make their escape from the settlement, yet he thinks it necessary to publish the following extracts from two London newspapers whereby they will see what must be the consequence of their being taken to England by any ship in which they might succeed in secreting themselves.

Extract from the Morning Post of Monday, Decr. 19th 1803:-

“On Friday Evening Captain Musgrave of the ship Atlas that took convicts from Ireland to Port Jackson applied to Mr Bond at Bow Street concerning two men supposed to be returned Transports. Captain M stated

[Page 130]

that in the month of January 1803, he landed the whole of the Convicts taken on board his ship from Waterford in good health at Port Jackson and proceeded from thence to China, the vessel being chartered by the East India Company and that after they had been five days at sea two men were discovered who must have secreted themselves in the vessel while she lay at Port Jackson, and although the vessel was fumigated had escaped detection, that believing them to be convicts he brought them home in confinement; and they were then on board his ship at Deptford. Mr Bond immediately sent two of the Bow Street officers with Captain M to Deptford, who brought the prisoners to Town when they underwent an examination before Mr Bond and confessed themselves convicts who had escaped from Port Jackson. Their names are Anthony Rawson and William Tucker; they were committed to [indecipherable] fields Bridewell.”

Extract form the Morning Post of Wednesday, Decr. 28th 1803:-

“Yesterday morning Anthony Rawson and William Tucker (the two convicts who escaped from New South Wales, and concealed themselves on board the Atlas Captain Musgrave in which they were brought to England) were sent off to Portsmouth under an escort from Bow Street in order to be put on board the Experiment Transport, now under sailing orders for Port Jackson.”

Frequent complaints having been made to the Lt. Governor of the damage done to the property of individuals by swine which are running loose in the Town it is become necessary to direct that if any persons find it convenient to let their hogs run loose, they will find it equally convenient to pay whatever damage they may commit. At the same time it is necessary that every one should be careful to place their property in the best possible state of security, otherways they will not be entitled to any recompense for their losses. If the nuisance should continue to exist after this notice the order of the 19th of April will be put in force.

The Lt. Governor finds it necessary to direct that in future all agreements between parties be reduced to writing signed by the parties and subscribed by two witnesses. Of such written agreements only the Magistrates are to take cognizance.

To prevent some inconvenience from arising to the Settlers at Stainforth’s Cove, the Commissary will forward their provisions on the Friday to the Superintendent at the Government Farm, where they will attend to receive them.

The Lt. Governor having reason to apprehend that the permission of rewarding the Prisoners for extra labour with spirits may be abused (an instance of which occurred in the two men William Wright and John Jackson who were punished for drunkenness) finds it necessary to direct that not more than ½ a pint of spirits be ever given to a Prisoner in a day and as it is his intention to make frequent enquiries upon this subject, he will not fail to punish severely any Prisoner that may through drunkenness be found incapable of labour.

And as His Excellency considering the clearing such vessels out for the purpose of skinning and oiling or with a view to their returning here, and making this Place a depôt for their Trade in Skins and Oil as a manifest Injury to His Majesty’s Subjects in this Territory and its dependancies, preventing the Benefits of the persevering Exertions of the British Adventurer and depriving the British Seamen, Artisans and Labourers of Employment; opening a Communication between this Colony and the Honourable East India Company’s Territories; exclusive of the Injury His Majesty’s Service sustains by the numerous Convicts that have escaped, and been received on board American Ships on their departure.

It is therefore required and directed, that no vessel under Foreign colours, or belonging to any Foreigner, be cleared from this Port for any Sealing Voyage within the Limits of this Territory or its dependancies and for the purpose of returning here - But that all such vessels after their necessaries are relieved, be cleared out from this Port to any other Port of Discharge.

His Excellency also strictly forbids any Person, not a natural born Subject of His Majesty, being engaged to reside or

[Page 152]

settle in this Territory, or its dependancies, without a previous permission obtained from the Governor, Lieutenant Governor or Officer in command for the time being.

British Seamen resident on this Territory, or its dependancies, are strictly forbid shipping themselves with Foreigners during the existence of the present War, But if any Commander of a Foreign Ship or vessel should be in distress for Men to navigate his Ship from this Port to another Port of discharge, and verifies the same on oath is required, due attention will be paid to his representations.

And should any Person whatever on this Territory or its dependancies so far forget their own Interest, and that of the Society they live in, by using any direct or indirect means to defeat the intent of this Order, they will on conviction before a Bench of Magistrates, be fined in the Sum of fifty pounds Sterling for each offence.

Some Gardens belonging to Individuals at this Place, the Government Farm, and the Settlers at Stainforth’s Cove, having been lately robbed, and some thefts having also been committed in several of the Huts, the L.tGovernor has ordered the Watch to muster the Huts both here and at the Farm during the Night, and every Person who may be absent therefrom without a sufficient reason may depend on being Punished. In order likewise to prevent all improper communication between this Town and the Farm, all persons who shall at any time be found on either without a pass, will be also punished. The Settlers are particularly cautioned against receiving any of the Prisoners at their Farms on any Day, particularly on a Sunday, without a Pass, if they wish to avoid the Imputation of being receivers of Stolen Goods.

And whereas a Hut on the other side of the Water was the Night before last burglariously entered, and parts of two watches stolen thereout, the L.tGovernor is pleased to promise a conditional Emancipation to any Prisoner who shall give such Information to a magistrate, as may tend to the recovery of the property, and the Conviction of the Person, or Persons, who committed the said Burglary.

the Number of Patients at the General Hospital being so reduced as no longer to require the aid of fresh animal food, the Commissary will discontinue receiving Kangooroo into the Public Store, after the last day of this month.

The situation of the Prisoners belonging to this Settlement not seeming to be clearly understood, the Lieut. Governor finds it necessary to state that while under sentence of the Law the Prisoners are to be considered as the Servants of the Crown to be employed under the direction of the Person in whom His Majesty has been pleased to vest that Trust in the Lt. Governor of this Settlement.

He has received it in command from His Majesty to place the native inhabitants of whatever place he should settle at in the King’s Peace and to afford their persons and property the protection of the British Laws. It cannot then be doubted that the immediate inhabitants of this Colony are equally entitled to the same protection. Wherever Englishmen are settled though there should be no regular Courts of Justice established in the place, yet the Laws of England are there equally in force.

The inhabitants of this Settlement are therefore informed that they are under the protection of the Laws of Great Britain, and that their persons are not to be imprisoned but by the authority of a Civil Magistrate before whom any person belonging to this Settlement and supposed guilty of an offence is to be taken, and by whose authority alone he can be confined. Persons taken during the night committing depredations are excepted, in which case they will be apprehended by, and remain in custody of the Night Watch until the morning.

The Night Watch on Duty at New Town will at all times exert themselves in following the directions they may receive from the Superintendent, and they are to apprehend any Prisoners whether Male or Female who shall be found out of their Huts after 9 o’clock at night without some reasonable excuse.

The Rev. Mr. Knopwood will perform Divine Service at that Settlement tomorrow in the forenoon if the weather is fair.

As these articles are intended for their comfort during the winter months they are on no account to be put to any other than the above mentioned use.

From the non-arrival of the supplies which the Lieutenant Governor has for some time past been in daily expectation of receiving, he is under the necessity of reducing the ration of salted pork to 2/3rds of what is at present issued. The Commissary will therefore issue until further orders:-

The Lt. Governor felt much satisfaction in witnessing the complete execution of the Service which had been entrusted to Corpl. Cole and the small Party of Royal Marines under his command to whose conduct and the activity of Henry Hacking (who accompanied them) he ascribed the safety of the Governor Hunter Schooner and the capture of the six convicts who deserted from this Settlement in the night of the 22nd ulto.

The failure of this last attempt ought to convince every one, especially such People as may even now be so far infatuated as to meditate similar schemes, how unlikely they are to succeed. To these more especially the Lt. Governor would wish to point out the following particulars of the several convicts who have at various times attempted to escape from the Settlement. Of 21 convicts who left the Public Labour at Port Phillip in the full confidence of wholly effecting their escape thence 7 perished miserably in the woods, viz, James Taylor, Wm. Brown, George Lee, Jeremiah Buckley and William [indecipherable]. It must be remembered that the three last were accompanied by Charles Thorn, who being fired at and wounded was brought back and is still suffering from the effect of the shot which he then received. The fate of these unfortunate men was known by the return of David Gibson, who had accompanied but quitted them in time to save his own Life.

Six others returned to their duty after an absence of a month and to which they were induced by a conviction that the risk of Punishment at their return was preferable to a certainty of perishing if they went forward.

Five others were pursued and being taken received such a corporal punishment.

[Page 194]

And one other an infirm old man John Jones absconded on the 3rd January 1804 returned on the 23rd of the same month and died through his fatigue on the 17th of the next, adding one more to the number of these unfortunate wretches who perished through their own folly.

Of the 14 men who deserted or attempted to desert from the Settlement since its establishment here, one, James Price was drowned while swimming on board the Ship Myrtle, two others were detected and sent back in confinement from Port Jackson, 5 voluntarily returned being fully convinced of the impracticability of their scheme, and 6 were recovered by the activity of the Corporal and his party as already mentioned.

The Lt. Governor therefore hopes that the people in general will from this view of these repeated attempts and failures be at length persuaded that there is more difficulty in the way of their succeeding than they are able to overcome.

The Deputy Surveyor General having reported to the Lt. Governor that he had pointed out a proper situation for a Bridge over the rivulet which divides the Farms at the Head of Stainsforths Cove, and there appearing an unwillingness in the Settlers to assist such others in a work so entirely calculated for their accommodation the Lt. Governor is under the necessity of directing them to lose no time in beginning and constructing a Bridge over that part of the Rivulet which has been marked out by the Surveyor, and as he forebore issuing this order until their said time should be over so now he expects their ready compliance therewith.

From the unexpected delay which has taken place in the arrival of supplies from England as well as from the accident which deprived the Settlement of a large proportion of the Provisions shipped on board the Sophia for the use thereof, by order of the Governor in Chief and from the necessity which consequently arises of making every possible saving of the salted meat yet remaining in the King’s Stores, the Deputy Commissary will receive Kangaroo for the purpose of issuing for the proportion of 2 lbs of fresh meat for one of salted at 1/- per lb. instead of 8d. as heretofore directed, that price being found in the present state of the Settlement insufficient.

He will also issue the following weekly ration until further orders, observing the usual proportions to women and children,

Pork 2 lbs 10 ozs
Flour 2 lbs 10 ozs
Wheat Meal 2 lbs 10 ozs
Wheat 2 lbs 10 ozs
Sugar 2 lbs 12 ozs

At the present season of the year (and until further orders) the Kangooroo will be received into the Public Stores two days before the usual serving days as well as on those days until 10 in the morning which are at Hobart Town on Tuesdays and Saturdays and

The following Copy of a General Order issued by His Excellency The governor in Chief has been transmitted to the Lieu.tGovernor for the purpose of being inserted in the General Orders of his Government Viz.

(Copy) - “ Head Quarters 2nd May 1805
“General Orders

The sentence of the general Court martial held for the Trial of Mr Milcham Assistant Surgeon Viz.

“The Court having maturely and deliberately considered the Evidence for and against the Prisoner, as well as what he had to offer in his defence, is of opinion that he is guilty of the first charge viz.

For disobedience of orders in refusing to attend a patient in the General Hospital on the 13th of April 1805 do further sentence him to be publicly reprimanded by the Governor in Chief.”

The Court is of opinion that he is further guilty of the second charge viz. for neglect of duty in not attending a woman when in Labour in the General Hospital on the 13th of April 1805 do therefore sentence him to be publicly reprimanded by the Governor in Chief is fully approved of and the Court Martial dissolved.

The Governor and Commander in Chief has to observe that the Proofs are so clear in substantiating Mr Milcham’s disobedience of the Principal Surgeon’s Orders in a case when his duty and humanity equally required his prompt obedience, that he entirely disapproves of Mr Milcham’s want of a due subordination to the directions of his superior in the Execution of his Duty.

The Governor perfectly coincides with the Court Martial in considering Mr Milcham guilty of a neglect of duty in not attending a woman in Labour in the General Hospital from which conduct the Woman’s Life and

[Page 210]

that of her Offspring might have been endangered and as Mr Milcham has recently endeavoured to evade his duty when ordered under false pretences, The Commander in Chief considers it necessary to inform that Officer, that on his incurring any future censure for neglect of duty or disobedience of orders; it will become necessary to suspend him, from his Situation as Assistant Surgeon ‘till His Majesty’s Pleasure are received thereon.

“The Commander in Chief further directs that Copies of this General order be sent to the Officers in Command at the different Settlements under this Government to be inserted in the General Order Book of their respective Garrisons.

Signed

W. Minchen
Adj. N.S.W. Corps”

During the late reduced Ration of Provisions the L.tGovernor did not insist upon a strict observance of the Hours which had been appointed in former orders for the performance of Public Labour, but having lately been enabled to issue to each Person very nearly the full Ration directed by the Treasury, he had hoped it would have been unnecessary for him to have reminded them of the indulgence, but understanding from the different Superintendents and Overseers that no alteration has been yet made in the Hours of Labour, he directs that until further Orders the following be observed as such, viz:

From 6. oClock in the Morning until 8.
From 9. oClock until Noon
From ½ past One oclock until 4 in the afternoon

and the Superintendents and Overseers who have the direction of the Public Labour will/where it may be necessary/ allow Task work to be performed, or proportion such Task work to be above Hours, and this is to be considered as a standing Regulation.

The Lieut. Governor having received accounts from His Excellency the Governor in Chief of great devastation having been recently occasioned by an unparalleled inundation of the Settlers Grounds at the Hawkesbury the principal agricultural district by which on a rough estimate a loss of Property not less than £30,000 has been sustained is compelled to recommend the strictest economy to every one in the Article of Grain, and as from this untoward circumstance the Governor has not been enabled to furnish this Settlement with the supply of wheat that he designed for it, a part of which was to have arrived here in March last; and the remainder in the next ensuing month of June, it is become more than ever indispensably requisite to use every exertion in sowing the whole of the Public Grounds at New Town with wheat, a measure that if our endeavours are blessed with success will enable us less sensibly to feel either the delay that may attend the arrival of supplies from England or the accident, to which the resources from Port Jackson are liable.

The Commissary is therefore directed to reduce the ration of wheat at present issued to the Civil and Military Officers of the Settlement 4 lbs, and that issued to the Detachment of Royal Marines 2 lbs a deduction that shall continue no longer than until a sufficient quantity of wheat is prepared for sowing the Public Grounds, if nothing should in the mean time occur to render a continuance necessary.

[Page 245]

A small supply of Salted Pork having been received from Sydney the Commissary will issue weekly until further orders,

2 lbs of Salted Pork
4 lbs Kangooroo or Emu
or
2 lbs Fresh Pork
4 lbs Kangooroo or Emu

to each Person victualled from the Public Stores observing the usual proportions to women and children, and as the present supply of fresh meat is greater than the consumption he will regulate his receipts thereof by his weekly expenditure.

Governor prohibits in the strictest manner all Persons whatsoever in the Settlement from applying it to the purpose of Brewing. Any Settler who shall be convicted before the Bench of Magistrates of acting in opposition to this order, will incur a Penalty of Twenty Pounds, and on repetition of the offence, will be sent from the Settlement. Any of the Prisoners offending herein will be punished by the Magistrates, who are requested to pay particular attention to this order.

The quantity of Maize remaining in the Settlement being very inconsiderable, the Lt. Governor is under the painful necessity of reducing the ration of that article as it is at present issued, the Commissary being directed to issue only 6 lbs to each Male Prisoner, observing the usual proportions to Women and Children; and the Lt. Governor trusts that it will be very shortly in his power to put the Settlement upon a better ration.

A Bench of Magistrates having been convened by the Lt.

It is further ordered that no Grain whatever shall be removed from one Settlement to another (that for the Public Service excepted) without a permit signed by a Magistrate or by the Superintendent at New town, who will be careful to ascertain that the Grain to be removed had been dishonestly obtained.

And as from the above regulation there can be no present use for the Mills which are in the possession of divers Individuals, all such Persons who may be required to give them up, are to comply immediately with the requisition.

[Page 251]

The undermentioned Persons are appointed Public Bakers for the six calendar months next ensuing the date hereof, viz,

and they will deliver on Tuesdays and Saturdays to the Bench of Magistrates an account of all such Grain as they may from time to time receive, specifying the quantity and the name of the Bringer.

The Surgeon having repeatly complained that the Patients in the Hospital absent themselves therefrom, without permission, and contrary to the regulations thereof, any Patient who shall in future go beyond the limits of the Hospital without shall be severely punished.

The Judge Advocate having requested the Lt. Governor to Pardon the Prisoners now under sentence of corporal punishment, he is pleased to comply with his request, but admonishes them to recollect that punishment will fall doubly heavy on them when they offend again.

The Centinel at the different Posts will not suffer any person whatever to pass them without giving the countersign, and any person refusing to advance when challenged will be fired at.

The Commanding Officer having received an application from the non-commissioned Officers and Privates of the Detachment praying to be informed upon what terms and conditions they came out to this country, acquaints them, that from the circumstance of his having been furnished by the Secretary of State, in his quality of Lieut. Governor, with the assurances that were given to the first Detachment of the same Corps that was sent on a similar service to New South Wales, he has reason to suppose they were meant for his guidance with respect to that now serving in this Settlement and for whose information he now states what those assurances were, viz.

That such of them as should have behaved well, should be allowed to quit the Service upon their return to England, or be discharged abroad upon the relief designed to take place at the expiration of three years after their landing and be permitted to settle in the Country.

[Page 253]

That in the event of any of them becoming Settlers the following encouragement was held out, viz.

To every non-commissioned Officer, an allotment of 130 acres of Land, if single, and of 150 acres if married.

To any Private Soldier 80 acres of Land, if single, 100 if married, and 10 acres of Land for each child, at the time of the allotment taking place, free of all Fees, Taxes, Quit Rents, and other acknowledgments for the Term of 5 years, then to be liable to an annual Quit Rent of one shilling for every 50 acres, to be supplied with cloathing and one year’s Provisions, with Seed Grain, Tools and Implements of Agriculture; and on it appearing that they can maintain, feed and cloath them, a certain number of Convicts is to be assigned to each of them for Labour.

With respect to the wish of the Detachment to be informed, why, if the Marines formerly at Port Jackson should have been allowed Spirits from their landing, until their leaving the Settlement, and they were only to receive it for 2 years after their Landing, so great a distinction should be made between them. The Commanding Officer informs them that it was at his particular request they received any Spirits, and that it is not for them to enquire why any distinction was made with respect to them, but to be thankful for this liberal allowance they have been indulged with.

An account of the stoppages which have been from time to time directed in the Spirits issued to the Detachment shall be laid before the Commanding Officer when he will direct to what purpose they shall be applied.

Serjeant Thorne having acted in a most unbecoming and unsoldier like manner, by sending the Corporal of the Guard of which he was the Serjeant, to a Magistrate on the most frivolous protest, the Commanding Officer again directs that the non-commissioned Officers and Privates of the Guard are not to quit it until relieved, unless directed by an Officer or required in aid of the civil Person.

They will assemble for the purpose of returning thanks to God, for having blessed His Majesty’s Arms, with the most decisive and Glorious Victory obtained by the British Fleet, over the combined Fleets of France and Spain upon their own Shores off Cape Travalgar, on the 21st of October last, under the Command of that Gallant and Excellent Officer, the late Lord Viscount Nelson, a victory which has called forth the unanimous thanks of the United Kingdoms, and in obtaining which His Majesty’s Royal Marine Forces, serving in the Fleet, bore a distinguished part, an in which bravely fighting the Enemies of their Country, there fell 2 Captains and 2 Lieutenants with 113 Noncommissioned Officers and Privates, while at the same time were wounded 4 Captains, 8 Lieutenants, and 212 noncommissioned Officers and Privates.

The Commanding Officer trusts that every Soldier under his Command, will with him regret, that they were not fortunate enough to have partaken in the Glories of that memorable day, but it is his consolation to know that every one who might ardently desire such distinction, could not be there, and that even in this remote part of the world, we are serving our Country. He therefore calls upon the Detachment, ever to bear in mind that they form a part of a Corps that has on every trying occasion does its duty, and that the Royal Marine Forces stand high in the Estimation of their Sovereign and their Country.

The Commanding Officer is on this occasion pleased to liberate Job Stokes from his Confinement, and he hopes that he will in future feel in common with his Brother Soldiers that he belongs to a Corps that will not suffer any disgrace to be brought upon it.

There being a necessity for making every possible saving in the article of Salt Provisioins, the L.Governor hopes and expects that every Person who possesses the means, will use the utmost exertions in furnishing the Public Store with Kangooroo, until the Supplies which are daily expected, and which the present tempestuous weather may retard, shall arrive. The Officers who have had the Services of several Men for this purpose, will inform their People that if they continue to exert themselves in this Season of distress their conduct will be noticed and rewarded, a circumstance that will afford the LtGovernor the greatest satisfaction to report, and as the only work that he has now in view, is what the whole are interested in, a Building to receive the Rice that is on its Passage from India, he expects that the Sawyers and Carpenters will not lose any time in preparing the Timber necessary for that useful Purpose. He regrets that the Settlement is so uncomfortably circumstanced; but he assures the people at large that he has every reason to believe that Stores and provisions expressly designed for their use have been received at Port Jackson and that they must at this Hour be on their way hither. He therefore calls upon every one to demean themselves patiently and orderly which will entitle them to his approbation and favour hereafter.

Complaints having been made by some of the Settlers that their Serv.ts frequently absent themselves without their knowledge or Permission, these People are acquainted that they are not allowed to quit the Service of their Masters, on any pretence whatever, without their leave, for the Service that is due from them to the Crown, is vested in the Master during the Time they remain with them, and they would be equally liable to Punishment as if they had absented themselves from Public Labour.

The Lieut Governor having received an Order, from His Excellency Governor Bligh, prohibiting in future the bartering or paying Spirituous Liquors for Grain, Animal Feed, Labour, Wearing Apparel, or any other Commodity whatever, in the Territory of New South Wales and its Dependencies, hereby publishes the said Order for the guidance and information of the Inhabitants of this Settlement, and all Officers Civil and Military, are requested to be aiding and assisting in carrying the said Order into execution, according to the full intent and meaning thereof.

“General Orders

“His Excellency the Governor laments at finding by his late visits through the Colony that the most calamitous evils have been produced by Persons bartering or paying Spirits for Grain of all kinds, the necessaries of Life, and Labourers for their Hire, such proceedings depressing the industrious and depriving the Settlers of these Comforts, and Wants. In order to remedy these grievous Complaints, and to relieve the Inhabitants that have suffered by this Traffic, he feels it his duty to put a stop to this barter in future, and to prohibit the exchange of Spirits or other Liquors as payment for Grain, Animal Food, Labour, Wearing Apparel, or any other Commodity whatever to all descriptions of Persons in the Colony and its Dependencies.

[Page 300]

“If a Person is convicted before a Bench of Magistrates of any of the Offences above stated, he shall receive a punishment of 100 Lashes, and be sentenced to hard Labour for 12 months:- If a Settler, free by Survitude, Pardon or Emancipation, he is to be deprived of all Indulgences from the Crown, sentenced to 3 months Imprisonment and to pay a Fine of £20 to the King:- If a Settler who came free into the Colony, and all other free Inhabitants, Masters and any other description of Persons on board of Ships or Vessels, they are to lose all Indulgences granted them by the Crown, and pay a Fine of £50 to the King. All which Fines on conviction shall be levied by the Provost Martial; one moiety to be given to the Informer and the other to be at the disposal of the Governor.

His Excellency has the strongest confidence from the known distress of the Colony in consequence of this punicious barter, that all Officers Civil and Military, will be aiding and assisting in carrying this Order into full execution, which ultimately must tend to relieve the distresses of the People and give Credit and Stability to the Settlement at large.

“By Command of His Excellency
E Griffin Sec.”

The Commissary having represented to the Lieut Governor the bad quality of the salted meat now on issue from His Majesty’s Stores, he is once more compelled to direct that Kangaroos be again received and issued as a part of the Weekly Ration and in the following Regulations.

There will be two days in each week for receiving Kangaroos, Mondays and Fridays, for which purpose the Store will be opened on those Days from 9 in the Morning until 12 at noon, and upon no account will any be received that may be brought after that time.

A Non-Commissioned Officer from the Royal Marines will attend at the Store during the above Hours to see the Kangaroo weighed, and that none is received but what is fresh and proper to issue, he will also sign the Storekeeper’s Receipt, and no Receipt will be paid at the end of the Quarter, that is not so signed.

The first Receiving Day will be on Monday next the 22th Inst, and the Commissary will issue 7 lb p man p week, observing the usual proportion to Women and Children.

The Storekeeper having taken the unwarrantable Liberty of issuing to the Attendants at the Store an unlimited extra allowance of Provisions, the Lieut Governor directs that no such extra allowance be made to them in future. Should the Commissary on any particular occasion think their services deserving of Reward, he will give them such as he thinks proper, taking care to account for whatever he may so issue, in his Expenditure of Provisions or Stores.

Whereas it is become absolutely necessary that some measures should be adopted to guard the well disposed Inhabitants of this Settlement against the Evils which may accrue to them from their existing in the Woods of this Country a set of dangerous Miscreants who have for a considerable Time been at large therein, the Lieut Governor is hereby pleased to declare that if they will surrender themselves at Hobarttown on or before the 10th day of next Month, bringing with them their Dogs, Arms, Ammunitiion, Iron Pots, Tools and whatever else they may have with them in the Woods, he will not proceed against them for the several Offences they may have committed from the Date of their absconding from the Settlement to that of their Surrender. But if they are blind enough to their own safety not to listen to this offer of Pardons, and are resolved to continue in their nefarious mode of living, he hereby declares that every one who shall not have surrendered himself as above directed shall be considered as an Outlaw, and dealt with accordingly.

The Commissary will this Day Muster the Settlers and their Families, who have been landed from His Majesty’s Armed Tender the Lady Nelson, and place them on the Victualling List of this Settlement.

Some doubts having been expressed of the quality of a part of the Meat lately purchased from the Ship City of Edinburgh in order to ascertain if there was any foundation for the same, the Lieut Govr. has caused the Major part of the Casks containing the Meat salted at the Cape to be opened and every piece therein minutely examined by 1st Lieut Lord and the Revd. Mr. Knopwood, who have reported:

“That the Meat from the peculiar mode of being cut up into small pieces, for the more readily taking the Salt, differs from that of Irish cured Beef that it is also much leaner, but the casks contained good sweet pickle, and it appears

[Page 336]

that great pains had been taken in the curing the same, as by cutting into many of the pieces no part that was not sweet could be discovered, nor anything improper or unclean be discerned.”

The Lieut Govr. thinks it necessary to make the Result of this Investigation public that every Person in the Settlement may be convinced that none but troublesome and designing characters would have dared to call the quality of the Meat in question.

The Settlers from Norfolk Island must be convinced that it is not in the Lieu.t Gov.rs power to afford them the assistance to which they have an undoubted claim, and which it is his anxious wish to give them, the Winter Season is approaching but there is yet time for every one to provide a Shelter against its Effects, if they set about it with Spirit and Resolution, they will receive from the Store such Assistance, as to the Tools which are requisite for Building and other Articles which can be given them, and they may be assured that whenever the Means arrive, the Lieu.t Gov.r will fulfil to every Settler, the Promises which have been made to him by Government. He recommends it to them to be careful of their Provisions and Property and particularly

[Page 344]

not to stray from their respective allotments, nor even to receive among them any Prisoner from this Place, that does not produce a Pass signed by a Magistrate, as such can only resort thither in the view of robbing them.

The Settlers are likewise to be on their guard against surprises from the Natives, who from Circumstances that have formerly taken place have become very much [indecipherable] against us, and the Lieu.t Gov.r informs them that any one who shall be known to offer wantonly any violence to a Native, or in anyway injure or molest them, or their women and Children, will be criminally prosecuted for such Offence.

As it is absolutely necessary that the Settlers from Norfolk Island should be placed on their several Allotments as expeditiously as possible, they are not to presume to say they will remain here until they can receive the full assistance held out to them by Government, the Lieu.t Gov.r considers such Language and Conduct as highly unbecoming, and hereby declares that any Settler who shall refuse to take possession of his Ground, after it has been measured, and himself supplied with the necessary number of Tools, shall be struck off the Stores and turned out of the house he may occupy in the Town.
