MAY l8, 1835 The Superintendent having left the ship before her arrival in Port Jackson, there was latterly no control whatever over the women, and some of them who had been allowed to land, immediately after the ship came to anchor, were picked up quite drunk in the streets of Sydney, on the evening of their arrival.

(From the Sydney “Colonist . “ This committee report came out the year before Mary Ann and William Sanders  came on the VICTORIA.    http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article639961	The Government, however, have latterly proposed a measure for the encouragement and promotion of emigration which, if the settlers were at all alive to their own interests and disposed to cooperate in securing them, would be tantamount to the adoption of our original recommendation. For, at a cost for agency which would be altogether insignificant for each individual or family brought out to the colony, the respectable colonists might have seemed through the Government measure we allude to, the immediate introduction of two or three thousand families of virtuous and industrious emigrants of the classes chiefly required in the colony.

An experiment has been tried in New South Wales to increase the number of immigrants by the formation of a Land and Immigration Company. The shares to be raised were 5,000, one half to be disposed of in the colony, and the other half to be reserved for capitalists in England. As we are also in need of an augmentation of our numbers, the hint may not be unprofitably applied ;

In Scotland, and the north of Ireland, where no such contribution could be looked for, but where the lower classes, being more intelligent, industrious and frugal, would be better fitted for roughing it in a new colony, virtuous and industrious families of these classes would willingly bind themselves to pay that amount from the first of their savings after their arrival ; and if in the event of their purchasing land on credit from the Company, this debt were to be chargeable on the land, its repayment would be secured.

IMMIGRATION. Whereas, by reason of the difference of climate and soil, many commodities pro- ducible in this colony, such as wine, oil, silk, Sec, are not produced in the United Kingdom, and the skilled labourers requisite for their culture or manufacture cannot in consequence be obtained by the colony from the mother country ; and whereas it is deemed expedient to afford to such of the colonists as may desire to employ their land and capital in the production of such commo- dities as aforesaid, the means of providing themselves with the required labourers from such foreign countries as can supply them : His Excellency the Governor directs it to be notified, that subject to the approval of her Majesty’s government, and under the con- ditions hereinafter mentioned, there will be granted to settlers who shall be at the charge of bringing into New South Wales, for their own services, emigrants from the continent of Europe, a pecuniary aid or bounty at the following rates: (1») -For a married man and his wife, neither of whose ages shall exceed on embarkation fifty years-£36. (2). For each child, male or female, above the age of fourteen years, for whose parents, or either of them, the foregoing bounty is allowed (but for no other children or un- married persons)-£18. II. Before any payments are made under this regulation, the immigrants on whose account they are claimed must present them- selves before a board appointed by the Governor to inspect them. Each married man and each of his un- married sons who shall have reached the age of eighteen years, must produce to the board testimonials of good character, and of their being duly qualified for the particular employments which they have been brought to the colony to fill. These testimonials must be signed by clergymen and respect- able inhabitants of note in the place of the immigrant’s former residence, and authen- ticated by a certificate of the secretary to the land and emigration commissioners in London, that after enquiry that board has seen no reason to doubt their correctness or credibility. Every individual for whom bounty is claimed, must produce a certificate, shewing his or her parents” Christian names and sur- names, and the age of which he or she is known or reputed to be.; and this certificate must be also authenticated by the secretary to the land and emigration commissioners. If the board shall be satisfied with these documents, and that the persons presented before them are within the prescribed ages, of sound mind, of good bodily health and strength, and in all other respects likely to be useful members of their class in society, and that they haye been duly supplied during the voyage with a sufficiency of good and wholesome provisions, and water, the latter in the proportion’ of at least three quarts per day for every emigrant, and with reasonably comfortable accommodation, a report lo that effect will be made by the board, and so soon thereafter as it shall be shewn by the person bringing out the emi- grants, that be has removed them from Sydney or Melbourne (as the case may be), for the purpose of placing them on his own property, a warrant will be issued for the payment of the sum to which he shall be entitled under this notice. III. Any settler desiring to avail himself of the bounties promised by this notice, must transmit to the Colonial Secretary, at Sydney, or to the Superintendent of Port Phillip, at Melbourne, a list, specifying, as accurately as circumstances will permit, the number, condition, and calling of the per- sons whom he may .propose to bring out. In no case will bounties be allowed, unlesB the claimant shall have made such application, and shall have received in reply an official intimation that (subject, as already stated, to the approval of her Majesty’s govern- ment) bounties will be granted on the intro- duction of the persons described in his list. The document containing this intimation must be produced before the board by the claimant, who will be required, at the same time, to prove to the satisfaction of the board, that the immigrants have been im- ported in pursuance thereof. And in order to guard against the inconvenience of long outstanding claims against the government, bounties will not be allowed unless the im- migrants described in the application shall be presented to the board within two <years after the date of the notification -of accept- ance by the Colonial’Secretary. IV. To define the several descriptions of labourers for whom bounties will ‘be allowed under this notice would be impossible, and an attempt to do so would be incoiiöi8t«-nt with the object m view, which is to provide the supply of labour requisite for the pro- gressive tievelopement of the capabilities ot the soil -as they may from time to time be- come ‘further ¿known. It may, however, be stated as a general rule, lhatithe government will limit the allowance of bounty to such labourers as are requisite for raising articles, the produce of the soil, and for bringing them into their simplest marketable -shape. .In -illustration of this principle the cases of wine and silk may be instdiiced. In the former, bounties will ‘be given for all de- scriptions of labourers necessary for the cul- ture of the grape, and the manufacture and casking of the wine. In the’ latter case, bounties will be given for the labourers re- quired for the production and preparation of the raw material, but not for ils manufac- ture. Bounties will not be allowed under this notice for persons above the labouring class, such as overseers, nor for any labourers of a description obtainable from the mother country. V. The fund available *for the purposes-of this notice being »very limited, it must not be expected that ‘the government will be able at once’to promise the payment of bounties on every application which it may see no reason to disapprove. In any case, how- ever, in which the government may be re- strained by no other cause thau want of means from .giving an ¡immediate assent to an application, such application will be noted in the Colonial Secretary’s Office, with a view to its being entertained in preference to others of a later date, whenever the re- quisite funds may be at the disposal of the government. VI. It is to he distinctly understood, that no quarantine oi other expenses whatever attendant upon the introduction of emigrants under this notice, will be defrayed by govern- ment, excepting the bounties hereinbefore mentioned. VII. To prevent misapprehension and dis- appointment, and to ensure a rigid adherence to the principles of this regulation, it is proper to state that the whole of the condi- tions thereby imposed will be strictly con- strued. Parties, therefore, who may intro- duce immigrants not qualified by age, calling, character, or otherwise, will do so entirely at their own risk, and will have no claim on the government to obtain the bounties offered by the present notice. ___________________________________ His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to appoint the following gentlemen to be magistrates of the territory and its dependencies, namely Alexander Fitzgerald Crawford, Esq., of Conungala, Macleay River. Francis Townsend Rusden, Esq., of Lindsay, Gwydir River, Liverpool Plains. John Warne, Esq., of Fattorini’s Wharf, Macleay River. _____________________________________________ ACTS OF COUNCIL. His Excellency the Governor directs it lo be notified, that the Right Honorable the Secretary of State for the Colonies has inti- mated in his despatch, under date the 26th June last, that her Majesty has been gra- ciously pleased to approve and confirm the undermentioned Acts, passed by the Go- vernor and Legislative Council, in the ninth year of her Majesty’s reign, viz. : QtJi Victoria. No. 31.-” An Act to continue for two years ‘ An Act to facilitate the apprehension of transported felons and offenders illegally at large, and of persons found with arms and suspected to be robbers.’” (11th June, 1846). No. 32.-” An Act to continue for a limited time an Act intituled 4 An Act for regu- lating the conslitution of Juries, and for the trial of issues in certain cases in the Supreme Court of New South Wales ; and further to amend the law relating to trial by jury.’” (12th June, 1846). No. 33.-” An Act to amend an Act intituled ‘ An Act to amend the laws relating to the Savings’ Bank of New South Wales and Port Phillip, respectively.’ ” (12th June, 1846). No. 34.-” An Act to amend an Act intituled * An Act to make provision for the safe custody of and prevention of offences by persons dangerously insane, and for the care and maintenance of persons of un- sound mind.’ ” (13th June, 1846).

‘IT WAS HARD TO DIE FRAE HAME’:

 

Several branches of the families came as assisted emigrants. Wilhelmina McLeod and her mother Janet Mackay with 3 siblings arrived in 1839 on the James Morgan from the Sutherland Shire  of Scotland. The Sanders ( William and Mary Ann) came by the VICTORIA in 1849. In 1853, The Jacksons arrived in the WILLIAM BROWN but I don’t yet know under what conditions they came. Also in 1853 the BEEJAPORE sailed to NSW and NZ and on board were John and Harriet Hurrell ( who died in the same year 1853. Many died on that ship and Harriet’s death may well be as a result of the voyage. ) Also on board were the Scottish CRAIGS. The extract below is from a NZ thesis on death and mourning amongst the Scots who emigrated .

 

IT WAS HARD TO DIE FRAE HAME’:

DEATH, GRIEF AND MOURNING

AMONG SCOTTISH MIGRANTS

TO NEW ZEALAND,

1840 -1890

A Thesis

Submitted to the University of Waikato

in fulfilment of the

requirements for the degree of

Master of Arts

in History

Official aggregates from ships surgeons’ reports reinforce the impression of

diaries that

“few immigrant ships arrived in New Zealand waters with their

original complement of passengers. Infectious diseases, chronic illness,

accidents at sea, dysentery and diarrhoea, and the debilitating effects of constant

seasickness on pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers, all took a toll on

passenger numbers. Migrants were not unaware of the risks involved. The loss

of babies and infants was considered an inevitable consequence of long seaboard

journeys. William Usherwood on board the Beejapore to Sydney in 1853

expressed a common sentiment when he wrote: ‘The … adults are all in good

health, we have lost several children but this was quite expected, being always

the case’”

William Usherwood, cited in Robin Haines, Doctors at Sea: Emigrant Voyages to Colonial

Australia (Hampshire and New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005), p. 2

_______________________________________

By the mid-nineteenth century there was a plethora of emigration societies set

up to assist Scots to find new homes abroad. In 1839, for example, a society was

formed among the weaving community of Fenwick in Ayrshire. The society

oversaw a ‘constant flow’ of departures to immigrant destinations including

Australia and New Zealand. Its constitution reflected a sense of impending crisis

and was unequivocal in its expression of the conviction that ‘ordinary folk’

should have the means to improvement, and an escape from the prospect of

unemployment, pauperism and starvation. It states:

A fearful gloom is fast thickening over the horizon of our country. Every

prospect of comfort to the working man is daily becoming darker and

more dreary. Trade and manufacturers are rapidly leaving our shores and,

to all appearance, a crisis is at hand in which the sufferings of the working

class will form a prominent feature

Zealand (Edinburgh: Canongate Books, 1998), p. 19

FROM DEBRA POWELL’S THESIS

“The ocean voyage between Scotland and New Zealand could take anywhere

from three to five months. These months represented a transitional period for

individuals and families, and acted as a liminal zone between the old life and the

new. Migrants’ experiences of death at sea were an important part of this

transition, as traditional ideas and practices were challenged by the exigencies of

sea burials. Of necessity, the time between death and disposal of the body was

 

 

I have elected to include the diaries of English as well as Scottish migrants to New Zealand and

Australia, both for what they reveal about perceptions of ‘Scottishness’, and because of the

obvious commonalities in both experiences and responses to death at sea.

short. In the case of stillborn infants, and when infectious diseases were aboard,

this may have been as little as one hour.

 

The complex traditions of waking and

kisting which had served to facilitate the mourning process among Scots in their

home communities had to be dispensed with in the cramped space aboard ship.

Moreover, many adult patients spent their last days quarantined in the ship’s

‘hospital’ being cared for by a matron and the ship’s surgeon rather than their

own kin, as they would have been at home. This removal from the dying process

often left families with little to comfort them through the difficult process of

mourning. There were several modes of reaction to the disruption of the grief

process through death at sea. Aside from the negation of traditionally held

customs and observances, sea burial provided the family with no fixed place of

interment, effectively denying them the comfort of future visits to the graveside.

Furthermore, the body of the deceased could never lie in the family grave sites

that were to become a feature of colonial graveyards in New Zealand, as they

were in Britain and Ireland. On a religious or superstitious level, many migrants

still held onto fears concerning resurrection. People witnessed the bodies of the

deceased dropped into water teeming with sea-life, protected by nothing but a

weighted canvas shroud. Residual beliefs concerning the resurrection of the

body and its dependence on corporeal integrity at death, meant that the fear of

burial at sea resonated with that of dissection in many minds”
