Details: Sydney, July 9th 1823 Most Honored Sir, I thus humbly take the liberty to inform you that I am a man recently returned from the settlement of Newcastle after a lapse of nearly eight years that I held the situation of Overseer of stone masons and builders nearly seven years that I drew the plan and Executed the Church erected there in the year 1818; that I laid the foundation stone of the pier there to Under Knobbys Island to the Mainland and other public works there as the gaol, Hospital, Officers Quarters then under the command then of Captain Wallis 46th regiment; that in consequence of my services Governor Macquarie was pleased to grant me a conditional pardon with an allotment of ground then vacant to build a stone house on where the Officers Quarters now stands erected by Major Morriset, the present Commandant, I being disabled to finish the house by a severe fall I received from the steeple of said Church then at a height of 65 feet - He was pleased to give me a house situated at No. 8 George St. opposite the Commissariat Stores for this unfinished house which he constructed as the present officers Quarters that the Governor Wishing to retain me in Government employ in forwarding the pier was pleased to allow me a Crown Servant to work on the farms on Hunters River (in lieu of labour), that in the course of Major Morissets Command in an unguarded moment disobeyed his Command for which he ordered me off the settlement at a days notice; that there is a years wages due to me from a Mr. Brown for my Government Servant; that I leased the aforementioned house to a Mrs. Pennington both emigrant settlers, neither of which would pay me a penny for either house or money which induced me to send my wife ( a free woman) to Newcastle to dispose of the house when another gentleman named McLeod starts up and tells the poor woman that he got a grant of the ground from Major Goulbourn and if she would not be satisfied to take twenty five pounds for the house in fourteen days he would take possession of it; she sent me a note from Newcastle begging me to apply to you your Honour to know whether such grant has been given to be guided accordingly as the house cost me near forty pounds besides my own labour. Permit me Sir to beseech your Honour to grant us a knowledge of the truth of his assertion and to subscribe myself your Honorable most persecuted humble and obedient servant J.B. Clohesy
