Sunday 2. Augt. 1818 We had Divine Service performed this day in the new Church erected by Capt. Wallis on [word missing] Hill, Mr. Cowper having Preached a most excellent appropriate Sermon on this solemn occasion; he being the first regular Clergyman who has ever performed Divine Worship at Newcastle, and of course the first in this church, which has only been completed a few weeks ago. I have named it Christ-Church at the recommendation of Capt. Wallis the Founder thereof. The Congregation on this occasion consisted of between 5 and 600 persons, the Church being quite full. Mr. Cowper also performed Divine Service in the afternoon to a smaller Congregation. The Day altogether was spent here in a very decent decorous and solemn manner. The Prisoners, amounting to about 450, Paraded in a very clean neat orderly manner at the Church before they went in, and I took this occasion to muster them -- and expressing my satisfaction at their clean orderly appearance Monday 3d. Augt. This forenoon Mr. Cowper married Ten Couple, and Baptised 30 children in the new Church; the first ceremony of the kind ever yet performed at Newcastle. -- On this occasion I directed the whole of the Convicts to be exempted from work, and to receive an extra Ration of Fresh meat -- on account of the Holiday. ---
