The next person, from the same class, that was so distinguished by Governor Mace/name, was the Rev. Mr. Fulton. Ile was transported by the sen sew* of a court-medial in Ireland, during the re .belhon, and his arrival in New South Wale, in ilia year 1800.. was sent to Norfolk Island to of. - ficiate as chaplain.

In the performance of his clerical and magisterial • duties, Mr. Fulton has been diligent and respect able, sod the sacred character with which he WAY deirsta, and iu which he had been *Plowed to Niplieur previous to his appointment to the magi.- 'racy, tegether with the nature of the offence for APhich be was transported, abated touch of the ob j,etiou that was felt orethe oppotiuments of Andrew l'hourson sod Sancti Lord. For these reason., although 1 consider That under other circum 'stances Mr. Fallon wobtd not have been • valuable •acq .isition to the bench of magistrates in New South Wale.. yet that Ira appointment was no dis credit to it, and that his services in the Teatime dis- wet in *lnch he resided, were, at the time of his appoint nirnt, and In the absence of any other COM •portit person, desirable. The nest and last person of the mine flan op pointed by Governor Macquarie to the magistracy, was Mr. Redfern. Your Lordship being in possession of the whole ,coerrspoirdesice that took place between Governor gb.crurarrie and mysrlf, upon the subject of tine uppominvent, I will not •sigoiri trouble 'on with a srpetition . of the arguments that I then onsuccem bully addressed 'to Governor Macquarrie, principally with a view of inducing him to suspend the ap.. isoisitment until I bud au opportunity of taking your Lordship's plestu're 'resiaciing it; a., however, that irleature has now been signified. and Mr. Redferei's name has been left Out of the new commission that Governor Macquarie was directed to issne, on the Wctlrsaion of his present Majesty to the throne, I think it right to state how far the observations and 'objections that I snide to this appointment at the ;curly period of my commission, have been jut tified by the result. 11n the coarse of my inquiry. I learnt from Mr. Redfern himself that he had been sentenced to death by a meal court martial. for being implicated In the nlutiny at the Nore in the year 1997, and *that the nature of his offence 'consisted iu hiring verbally advised the leaders of the mutiny " to be snore united watingst theinselves.*_ Mr. Redfern was at that time about 19 years of age. sod had served for a few months as surgeon's first mate on Word his Majesty's ship the Standard. In considenetims of his youth, his life was spored, and his sentence was commuted to transportation for life. On his arrival in New South Wales Mr. Redfern wt./lent to Norfolk Island, where he acted as assist• est to the turireou au the civil estisblisliuirtn, end was appointed in 1802 by Lteeienent-Caa Ione! Fortune. to art as surgeon there. In that year he also received from Governor King an atom. ate pardon; and. him name appeals iu the Sydney /Goodie of the 19th June, 1803, amongst those up on whom t h at act of grace had been conferred. In the year 1804, Mr. Redfern was relieved by Mr. .Weutotath, hut continurd to aviiiot him and Mr. Conollin until the mouth of May, 1808, when he accepted the totue t ion of assistant-ourgeon at Sydney, sander • local comrnnedoo. conferred upon him ivy .I..teut.-Cliloisel I:owe:ins, winch, noon the strong re 'coniriendation melt: by that oficrr to GuVerliar 71Lequarr r, on his arrival, was bUll)1111ittli so the consideratioit of his Majesty's arid sanctioned by his Royal lightness the Prince and announced to she public in the Sydney 'Gazette of the let February 181 g. S:uce that period 11Ir. 11.dferit has continued to act us assistonr•suc geois to the general hosoisel at Sydney, t.. king a very active part in its duties, and deriving at the same time considerable emolument hum his private "trochee, which lepp.ars to have been more 'Men ette and successful than that of any other medical vractitioner iu the colony. The oat are end extent of these emoluments., slid the source from which they B,eceedsd, had been mentioned to me before I had e.ord of Governor Micquarrie's in.eurion of ap- Isolating Mr. Redfern to the. magistracy ; and as my emotion was at that moment occupied by the inves tigation of another and atom eittensitro subject, I hod sot then an opportawity of incenuipiag the ''truth of the stittioent. In alluding to it. theta fore, I limited the observation I made to Governor Macquurrie to a caution, against the immediate appointment of Mr. Redfern, and used it as an additional IrtS•6ll for suspeocling it. The circum stances atteudiug this c.se are detailed in the evidence of steers! witiies.e. who had acted in subordinate situations in the hospital during the prriod of Mr. - Redfern's service; and it apprirs from their evidence, that he had for some time kept a dispensary to the huase provided for him by Go vcrtimetift, 'fear the hospital at Sydney. where he was in the habit of m+king up and iliapensing medi cine fur hi. private practice in the town, as well as for those of the civil officers whom he attended, and who have a!ways been considered entitled to receive both nterlit!or and attendance gratuitously. A prac tice had prevailed in the medical establishment in New Booth Wales, from the earliest period, of dim periling medicine from them, not only to convicts rod to persons on the civil establishment, but to those who had crowd to be in any manner connected with them. Free persons of the higher classes were thus admitted to have their wants supplied from 'sources that were destined by his Majesty's Go- vernment for the use of only one clips; and the hospital stores have, according to Mr. Redferu's ‘ohsernition, been 'ccnverted into general colonial dispensaries., to which, through the means of some of the medical officers, the inhabitants have had a constant but not gratuitous access, not only af forded at the expense of Government, but to the prejudice of that class, for whose special benefit these establishments were formed and maintained. For admission of the poorer classes of free people 'to the colonial hospitals, an order from the Gover nor was and is still considered to be requisite; but the same restriction does not appear to have UCCOUI• puttied the issue of medicine, when application was 'bide Toe it at•the hospital, and when the couditinu of the party accused to justify the application, By - means of this custom, the assisiaot surgeons have, in the course of their p•actice is, the Colony, adminis tered considerable quantifier of medicine from the colonial dispensaries, or rather from their own dis pensaries, supplied from the Government stores; sad Mr. Redfern having had the largest share of private practice its the Colony, and having never imported medicine on hie own account, it is to be inferred that he partook more largely of the medical stores of Government than any other person. A general in quiry into the circumstances urn, character of Mr. Redfern, that had been suggested by Governor Macquarrie's appointment of hien to the magistra cy, and the sight of a remarkably well-cleared and wcll•cultivatrd estate, that had attracted my notice in passing through the district of Airds, and which I was informed was his property, had certainly ex cited in my mind some suspicions of the possible abuse, that might have been made by him of this practice in the medical department, and this sur prise was increased, when I found that Mr. Wert worth, the principal surgeon, had always abstained from the practice himself, o► if he sent any orders fur medicine, always returned en equivalent. En tries, it appears, were then made of the quantity of medicine taken, but this precaution was not adopt ed when it was conveyed iu large quantities to the dispensary of Mr. Redfern. Whether the supplies of medicine thus made by him to flit free inhabi tants of the Colony not entitled to receive it wet, gratuitous, or whether they constituted a distinct source of profit to him, though blended with the charges that he made for medical attendance, are points upon which I have not yet been able to come to a very satisfactory conclusion. It is stated by Mr. [teary Cowper, who was Mr. R-dferu's appren lice, that althoogh entries of the charges foe medi cine were made in ►Mr. Redfcrit's books, yet that io the account that he rendered to his patients, he charged them with attendance and medicine, and sometimes with medical attendance only. Wishing to have further evidence upou this point, I sent fora person who had acted in the capacity of desk in the dispensary of the general hospital at SycLey, and had afterwards been employed by Mr. Redfern to keep his private accounts. Upon his first trmunination, on the 16th of December, 1319, mud when he was yet in the conditiou of • convict, he had declared before me that the prices of the medicine were charged by Mr. Redfern to his patients, and that they were eliteied in the ledger. Subsequently to this, and after he had received au emancipation from Governor Macquarie, for which he had been recommended by Mr. Wentworth and Mr. Redfern, be found sufficient reason to slier this declaration, and he corrected his state merit, by saying that neither the quantities nor the prices of the medicine were ever charged either in the accounts or the books. As I placed no confidence in this man's declarations, and afterwards discovered the reason for the change that had token place in them, I addressed myself to Mr. Redfern, and re quired him to produce the prorate accounts of the medicine that he had supplied to individuals, haying previously informed him of the chargils that re sulted from the information then before me. To Vats requintioe I received a direct refusal; and as I considered that I had no stallions) , to compel the production of these banks, the question of the pro fit Thus made by Mr. Redfern in the approptiatiiin of the medical stores of Government for several years was left and still rests upon the testiinooy of Mr. Henry Cowper, who had fiequently men the books, and whose testimony is confirmed rather than cootradicted by that of r prevaricating convict, corrupted by the emancipation that I.e had received, - end who had himself male the 'nines in them ; and finally, it rests upon die refusal a Mr. Red fern to -produce his books, aid lies utter to 'rutin the medicines time disposed of, if his Ni.jesty's Go.. vernment should be of opinio n . that he had no right to convert to Ills own profit by sale, end without account, the supplies of medicine that were ve ctor!), destined for the use of the convict*. As to the nature of this appropriation, and whe ther under the pretence of malting a mere votive. meat *apply to the wrote of Ins patrols, Mr. Red fern chose his own house rather (lain the dispensary of the hospital, I do not think it siectosary now to observe, further than to stare, that islthough the medicine was taken from the hospital storm without soy note or Mentorationin 'of the goanttiies , yet I new believe there to have been uo studied coace o l.. meat in the mode or act of taking it; auto that this profitable disposal of the property of "Government hod confirmed to be made for several years by Me. Redress, with the hessrledie s Mr. Wriswerth, the principal surgeon, and without receiving from him either prohibition or remark. The surprise that I felt upon 'first becoming acquainted with a practice that opened such a door to fraud, and that had been found to he so very prejudicial to the lower order of p.itients in the colonial hospital, by diminishing to them the sup plies of the most useful medicines, was somewhat increased by the silence of Mr. Redfern snider the first intimation that I perisonolly Made to him on the subject. accompanied as it was with some rematks that were *intended to convey to him the strong sense that I felt of the impropriety, not to say criminality, of the practice. The terms in which these remarks were conveyed were made 'use of by Mr. Redfern as a pretext for not agaiu personally appearing before me ; and as I fell no wish to renew an inquiry into facts that appeared to be admitted, I allowed him to mike his defence in writing to the churgea that had resulted from them. These charges in• volved another point of professional duty, which he successfully answered ; an/ two or three of personal conduct, for which Mr. Redfern considered him ielf responsible to the parties alone, and declined to afford sue any explanation: the first of these points was Ili" of unjustifiable severity in the punishment of his apprentice, Mr. Henry Cowper, and in the treat ment of one of his convict servants ; and the next was that of sending a very insulting letter to Mr. B4W1111"o the principal surgeon, who hail succeeded to that office on the retirement of Mr. Wentworth, contrary to the expectations of Mr. Redfern, and to the recommendation of Governor Macquarrie. I wee aware that these points bore reference only to the private and personal! character of Mr. Redfern ; but as I conceived that Governor Macquierrie, by raising him to the magistracy as well us by intro ducing him to his society, had provoked and deal t-nip-II inquiry into there as well as other points of Mr. Redfern's character, and that the whole con duct of one whose later years were supposed to have atoned for the acknowledged enormity of his Winer crime, might justly become a subject of my inquiry, I deemed it my dirty to enter upon it, more espe cially es the point in question, if established, seemed to me to affect materially the wisdom of the ap pointment and selection of Mr. Redfern for the magisterial office in New South Wales; for it hr.. grayed an irritabiliy, or rather a violence of temper, both towards his inferiors and eoperiors, which, if displayed in that copority, might be productive of serious injury to the district in which he was about to serve. It is admitted by-Mr. Redfern, that he chastised his apprentice; and it is admitted by the latter that he deserved chastisement; hut the seve rity and mode in which it was inflicted, both upon the apprentice and the convict servant, exceeded the bounds which the law has prescribed in the one case, and was a positive violation of an ender long ago jostled in New South Wales, by which a master is prohibited from striking his convict servant. The letter to Mr. Bowman was written at a period when the feelings of Mr. Redfern were smarting 'under the disappointment, in not succeeding Mr. Wentworth in the office of principal surgeon of the colony ; and he slippers to have taken an opportu tunity of indulging them, on having heard of Mr. Boserrum's visit to the colonial hospital, end 9f his ennkitek *lnquiries concerning the patients there, be fore hie atersointment to the office had been notified in the Sydney Gazette, or that the change of officers bail actually taken place. It appears that one of the convicts that had been under Mr. Bowman's care in the Aden Carry, con vict ship, from Englend to New South Wales, bad been sent on his arrival to the general hospital at Sydney. Desi r of knowing how lie was. Mr. Bowman had repaired to the hospital, but declined to enter it till he had seen Mr. Wentworth, although he conceived that under the general admission that is given to all surgeons of the navy to visit the great medical estahlislimeots in England, the pairmirointi of Mr. Wentworth was not indispensable to enable him to view the colonial hospital at Sydney. As Mr. WelllWAlth was absent, end did not arrive at she hospital VI 'lr. Baseman had left it. he informed Mr. Cowper, who then acted as assistant-rurgetin, that if Mr. Bowman should call again at the hospital on the hiltooring day. and that if tie wished to see it, he (Mr. Wentworth) would action pony him. It happened fist Mr. Bowman called its Mr. Wentworth. absence. sod es he found on in quiry, that Mr. Redfern was confined to his house by illness, he, without waiting for Mr. Wentworth, accompanied Mr. Cosiper through the wards of the hospital. • In the coarse of this visit lie saw. mind made some inquiry of his patieut respecting his treatment; mud then retired. Upon information being given to Mr. Redfern of this visit. he addressed • letter to Mi. Bowman, which, considering the relative situation of the parties, he did not think himself called upon to no tice, but in which, after assuming that the hospital was in his charge, and was to he considered to re main so until the change of office.. took place, Mr. Redfern charges Mr. Bowman with having had re course to insidious' ind unbecoming means, for the purpose of obtaining the appointment to the office of principal surgeon, which Mr. Redfern, through the recommendation of GOV..fllol' MACqUalrfie, hid so anxiously expected to obtain. Allowing for the irritation of feeling that a sense of these galling circumstances may have produced, I cannot admit that Mr. Redfern had any right to mown, the exclusive control of the general hospi tal, when Mr. Wentworth was on the spot, er to dic tate to a profession:l man, 'limn what tenni, he was to be admitted to it. The temper and character of Mr. Redfern are atroogly illustrated in this, as well as another letter that he addressed to Mr. Bateman, en hts sticcerding to the charge r f the general hos pital, surd rhey have received still further illustra ricni "from the several letters that he addressed to myself upon 'the nature of my inquities into his conduct, and the umiuccessfol result of my inter ference in Ivy appointment to the magistracy. The result of these issquiries has confirmed me in the belief that I 'then and have since enter tained, that although Mr. Retlferu''s profetsional till was acknowledged, and that, sided by great sasiduityund good natural talent., lie had over come the want of early study end experience, yet 'that the irritability of his temper constituted a well. founded objection tobis appoiutmeut to the tracy.
