Blanket Distribution (Indigenous)

The Wingham Chronicle 10 August 1943
Details:
Captain Thomas Cook - Being at Stroud this week I had an opportunity of hearing some of the aboriginal natives inquire most anxiously for their blankets, which they seem to prize greatly. The mornings and evenings begin to get chilly on these mountains, and I fear that unless the blacks get some little shelter in the shape of a blanket or ^ other covering they will get discontented. They are numerous here and have hitherto been quiet and harm less, many of the men proving useful to the overseers at the Companys out-stations. But if deprived of their wanted present from His Excellency I will not answer for their continuing so, I remember some five or six years ago going out with a party in search of nine pirates who, on being closely pursued at sea, had scuttled the vessel they stole at Sydney and landed on the beach at Port Stephens and were made an easy capture by the assistance of two female aboriginals who, themselves, told me they had tricked the white fellows knowing I was in quest of them and because the Governor had given them blankets. At all evens I would recommend a supply of blankets for the use of the women and children who other wise must be left naked and comfort less it being a standing order of the Commissioner of the A.A. Company that no black girls be harboured at the huts of the companys estate. If then, His Excellency the Governor would consent to send even one half (say 100) of the former quantity I shall take care that they are properly distributed among those most deserv ing and in greatest need of such a boon.

The chief of the tribe about to proceed to Van Diemens Land to aid the police in discovering the retreats of the hostile natives is Bob Barrett who was in prison some time since on a charge of murder committed in a melee on an aboriginal native called Dirty Dick. Our Readers we have no doubt well remember this case and the luminous decision of the Supreme Court delivered by the Chief Justice with respect to the liabilty of the natives to British laws for the result of quarrels among themselves. Those who had the good fortune to hear it will not easily forget that masterly appeal to the reason illustrated by the principles of international law which Mr. Forbes delivered on that occasion
