Sydney Gazette, 6 Aug 1827. --------------------------------------------------- In 1839 George Tallentire had a letter published in the newspaper, which provoked a response and a further letter from him. The folowing are extracts from those letters. Jobbing in Government Stone. TO THE EDITOR OF THE Sydney Monitor and Commercial Advertiser. Kent-street North, 10th April, 1839. Sir,—I am by trade a Quarryman. I am working a Quarry in Kent-street North, which I bought of Mr. Terry Hughes, who bought it of government at public auction. I work myself, and employ two men, sometimes three. The stone I quarry I sell, flagging thirty shillings at the quarry-steps at a shilling a foot-rough stone two shillings and six pence a load. At these prices I gain a moderate profit, the cost of the materials just mentioned being made up of the interest of the money I gave Mr. Hughes for the Quarry, my own labour, and the wages I give my quarrymen as stonecutters. …. Sydney Monitor, 10 Apr 1839. Correspondence in Newspaper, … I perceive also that attacks are made against my character in other respects. It is said, I came a prisoner to the Colony. I answer, so did half the men of property and character in the Colony. But as a set off, and to shew my present character as gained by me in the Colony, I was eight years overseer to Government of the quarries in Cockle Bay, and I was not turned off at the end of eight years, but received a reward. I can appeal for the truth of this to Mr Hutchinson, and to Mr Munn, shipbuilder. …. Sydney Monitor, 19 Apr 1839.
