Memorial; as Mulvagh (Fiche 3101; 4/1838B No.660 pp.833-6) The Humble Memorial of William Mulvagh, showeth that Memorialist arrived in this Colony per the Providence Transport, Burley Master, in the year 1810, sentence, Seven years. That Memorialist has been a schoolmaster in this Colony for thirteen years; during which time Memorialist has confined his labours (chiefly) to remote parts where children could not conveniently attend for instruction at any of the established townships; and that Memorialist has not now, nor has he had at any time since his arrival in this Colony, Land or any other Indulgence; nor has Memorialist (before this time) applied. That Memorialist now resides on the banks of the River Nepean, and has about thirty children under his tuition; and which place has been the residence of Memorialist nearly seven years. That the parents and Guardians of the Children under Memorialist’s Tuition, desires that Memorialist would continue among them but being advanced in years, Memorialist will not be able to continue long a Teacher owing to debility apparently caused by confinement and constant application, indispensibly exercised in the Task of bringing children from a state of Nature to a knowledge of the use of Letters. That Memorialist humbly hopes Your Excellency will grant him such a portion of Land as to your Excellency may seem meet – as Memorialist does not presume to hope that his grant will exceed the Portion given to ordinary per yet he most humbly hopes that your Excellency will consider his humble request in a favourable light and grant him a portion of Land as convenient, as may appear to your Excellency most reasonable that Memorialist may be enabled to continue (a little longer) his feeble efforts for the good of the rising generation and also to superintend the preparation of a little ?, when age, and its attendant infirmities, render him unable to pursue his present employment. And Memorialist with Gratitude, in duty bound will ever Pray. Wm. Mulvagh. Countersigned, Henry Futton, Clergyman and Jn. ? Magistrate?
