Account of the moral character of Captain Gillman by E.S. Hall in his account of the failings of Governor Darling - While Commandant first at Newcastle then at Port Macquarie though accompanied by his wife (one of the most amiable and accomplished women in the colony) his amours were carried on in open day. One night his wife insisted on opening the window to call for the watch, in consequence of her finding a female concealed in the room. Capt. G. impeded her by threatening to break her arm by shutting the casement on hit; and the lady persisting, he did so and fractured the bone. Dr. Moran set the bone and can testify to the truth of this circumstance. Among other of his seductions was that of two girls very young, and well behaved, the daughters of a prisoner of the Crown, one of thwom complained to her father of violation by Capt. G. The father went up to Captain Gillman and used violent language. He was ordered to the triangles and the scourger had just lifted the scourge to punish the grey haired parent when Serjeant Gilbert Smith a friend of Captain G. ran down and taking him aside implored him to reflect on what he was doing. I was told this by Serjeant Smith himself
