GOVERNMENT AND GENERAL ORDERS

Head Quarters, Government House, Sydney, Saturday, 30th July, 1814.

THE Male Convict Transport Ship, Surry,

which arrived in this Harbour from England on the 28th Instant, having brought a malignant Fever of a very infectious Nature, of which the Master, first Mate, and forty other men have died during the Voyage, previous to the Arrival

of the Ship in this Port; His Excellency the

GOVERNOR has deemed it expedient to use every possible Precaution to prevent the Danger of the

Contagion extending from her to the Population of the Colony; and with this view he has given Orders to institute the most rigid Quarantine Re-strictions in respect to the Ship herself, and all

Persons on board of her, until such Time as the Fever has entirely subsided, and the People now infected are recovered.

It is therefore the GOVERNOR'S most positive Orders, that no Person whatsoever (the Medical

Quarantine Officers and their Attendants ex-

cepted), shall have any Intercourse or Commu-nication of any sort with the said Ship, or the Persons now on board of her, until such Time as she is relieved from Quarantine which will be announced in Public Orders; and the GOV-

ERNOR further directs and commands, that no Person shall visit, or have any Intercourse what-

ever with the Military Detachment, Sailors, and

Convicts, who are about to be landed from the said Ship, on the North Shore of Port Jackson;

where they are to remain encamped under strict Quarantine Regulations till further Orders. There will be a Guard on board the Ship Surry,

and also on the North Shore; to enforce these Orders; and any Person, detected in attempting

to act in Disobedience of them will be confined, and most severely punished.

By Command of His Excellency

The Governor,

J. T. CAMPBELL, Secretary.

GOVERNMENT AND GENERAL ORDERS.

CIVIL DEPARTMENT.

Secretary's Office, Sydney,

Saturday, 23rd July, 1814

1. The Governor and Commander in Chief having performed the painful Duty of consigning to an ignominious Death four

of his Fellow Creatures, lately convicted before the Criminal Court of a series of offences too

shocking and atrocious to admit of any mitigation

of their Sentences; He now feels it incumbent on him to observe, that had the Settlers and other

Inhabitants of the Country taken those Pains to apprehend Runaways and Bushrangers, which their duty as good Subjects required, the chief

Part, if not all of the Murders now brought to light, would have been avoided, and thus four Men and one Woman, peaceable and unoffending Persons, saved from deplorable and untimely Ends, and possibly their Murderers themselves reserved for a better Fate than has attended their

flagrant Crimes.

2. The Governor trusts that the melancholy

Occurrences herein alluded to, and the Sacrifices now of Necessity, made to the offended Laws of

God and Man, will have their due influence in deterring the regular inhabitants in future from harbouring, or in any Manner countenancing

such lawless Banditti as have for some Time in-

fested the Country, and rendered the necessary intercourses of Life full of Danger; and he most earnestly entreats each Individual of the Society for the Benefit of the whole, to do his utmost in apprehending those Bush Rangers who are still at large, and from whom acts of Atrocity, simi-lar to those now adverted to, may be expected, unless speedily secured and delivered over to Justice.

3. Any Persons who shall be known after this Admonition to harbour or hold intercourse with

Runaways, or Bush Rangers, will forfeit every Indulgence on the Part of Government which they may at present enjoy, and be punished with the utmost Rigour of the Law, when the Offence

shall be proved.

4. The Governor cannot reflect, but with the greatest abhorrence, on the unparallelled Depravity exhibited by one of the lately executed Malefactors, namely, Dennis Donovan, at the

Instant he was about to be precipitated into eternity, for Crimes of the blackest and most detestible Nature. At such an awful Moment, all Artifice, all Disguise is supposed to cease, as being no further useful in this World, and the unfortunate criminal is expected to think, then, only, of making his Peace with his offended Creator, by an open Confession of his guilt, ac-companied with a fervent Prayer, to the Throne of Grace, for Mercy. Such a Line of Conduct would naturally excite general Commiseration for the wretched man, however depraved his former life had been: but instead of such Con-fession, Humiliation, and Contrition, this Male-factor (shocking to relate), went out of Life, protesting in the most solemn Manner his total innocence of the Murders of the two unfortunate men, Jenkins and Edwards, at the Parramatta

Turnpike House, which in (in Addition to the several Crimes for which he then suffered), he was strongly suspected to be concerned, although it is now clearly proved, that he was one of the Perpetrator; and whilst two Men (since proved innocent), then stood convicted of those Murders, under erroneous Testimony, and were on the Eve of atoning for them by an ignominious Death.

In this Manner did Dennis Donovan, with his last Breath, and without other apparent Motive than the most detestible Malignity to his fellow Creatures, and to Human Nature itself, endeavour to deprive two innocent Men of their Lives, for a Murder perpetrated by himself, in Conjunction with John White, who yesterday suffered the Sentence of the Law, on his own Confession, and

the clear Evidence of others.

5. The providential Discovery of the real Murderers of Jenkins and Edwards, which has saved the lives of two innocent Men, is to be at-tributed to the humane, zealous, and indefatigable Exertions of D WENTWORTH, Esq. Superinten-dant of the Police; and the GOVERNOR desires to make him this public Acknowledgment of his Thanks, for his praise-worthy and well-directed Measures on that Occasion.

6. The Chaplains in the several Districts are to read this Order in their respective Churches, or Places of Public Worship, during the Time of Divine Service, on Sunday the 31st Instant, and on Sunday the 7th of August next.
