MELBOURNE CRIMINAL SESSIONS.
FRAUD. William Bell pleaded Not Guilty to the charge of having obtained money from one Thomas Ely on pretence that he wanted to store in prosecutor’s cellar some goods which he had on board a vessel in the river. Thomas Ely, examined, stated: That prisoner rented from him a cellar to store goods, and also that he had borrowed money to the amount of £8 to be repaid on the sale of the goods. He afterwards borrowed £2, to buy timber to fit up the cellar. In order to pack up the goods, witness lent prisoner two rugs and some blankets and a window-blind. No goods ever came, and witness could not find prisoner nor tho goods. Mrs Susannah Ely, wife of last witness, fully corroborated her husband. Mr W. Cartwright, examined, stated : That he arrested the prisoner under warrant for obtaining money under false pretences. The goods produced were found in prisoner’s bed-room, and identified by Mrs. Ely as her property. -This closed the case for the Crown. The prisoner told a long rig-ma-role story, which no body believed. Ho was at once found Guilty, and sentenced to one year’s hard labor on the roads. SENTENCE.

FAWKNER, John Pascoe
‘The best-known private citizen, and the self-appointed tribune of the people, was John Pascoe Fawkner. As a boy of ten, he had in 1803 accompanied his father, who had been convicted of receiving stolen goods, to the short-lived convict settlement near modern Sorrento on Port Phillip Bay (is this the same one that Buckley escaped?) and thence to Van Dieman’s Land. After being imprisoned himself for helping escaped convicts, he followed a variety of occupations in Launceston – baker, timber-merchant, bookseller, publican, newspaper proprietor..[then came to melbs yadda yadda] …A plain featured, rough mannered, puny but active man, he suffered more and more as the years went by from asthma, which made his voice weak and husky. Dogmatic, abusive, cantankerous and litigious, at one time or another he fell foul of nearly all his fellows, but he was quick to make up after quarrelling. His behaviour was often impossible to tolerate; yet he came to be more and more widely respected….His ideal was to break up the squatters’ holdings and plant a numerous and vigorous yeomantry, [small cultivated estates joint owned] and to this end he himself financed co-operative land societies…..nearly all his critics agreed on his honesty, his personal generosity, ‘his natural shrewdness, innate sense of justice and fearless persistence in what he regarded as his duty’, especially when exposing abuses. Fawkner was a one-man band, a political movement in himself’

LA TROBE, Charles Joseph
Described by Washington Irving as: ‘a man of a thousand occupations; a botanist, a geologist, a hunter of beetles and butterflies, a musical amateur, a sketcher of no mean pretentions; in short, a complete virtuoso; added to which he was an indefatigable, of not always a very successful, sportsman. Never had a man more irons in the fire; and consequently, never was a man more busy or more cheerful’.
-p6 The Golden Age: A History of the Colony of Victoria 1851-1861 by Geoffrey Serle, 1977 Melbourne University Press.
In 1846 he had acted as Governor of Van Dieman’s Land, and had reported scathingly on the probation system of convict disipline. He had not opposed convict transportation or fought for separation strongly enough to gain the favour of the Melbourne democrats…High principled, devout, modest, tolerant, charming in civilised company but aloof in public or with strangers, La Trobe was suspect of being rather pliant and indecisive.’ -p6 The Golden Age: A History of the Colony of Victoria 1851-1861 by Geoffrey Serle, 1977 Melbourne University Press.
