Hi Listers, Remember the item I sent on Maurice O'Connell visiting Parramatta. I found the Supreme Court hearing that he had 'won' in the Sydney Morning Herald 19 July 1839. It was an action of ejectment against Mr Pye and others, brought by the daughters of the late Admiral Bligh and their husbands, to recover possession of land at Parramatta. The one hundred and five acres of land was granted to William Bligh on August 10, 1806 between Kings School and the Female Factory. It was proven that the late Admiral Bligh died in 1816 and had 6 daughters, Harriet, the wife of Mr H M Barker, Mary, Lady O'Connell, Mrs Elizabeth Bligh, widow, Miss Jane, Miss Francis and Miss Ann Bligh. The reason for the proceedings were that Mr Pye and others were living on the land and had made improvements. Interestingly, the man from the Colonial Secretaries office was willing to tender certain correspondence which had taken place rejecting the claim to Admiral Bligh, "but both parties appeared to be afraid of it, and therefore it was not produced." Jury found for the plaintiff, one shilling in damages. Kristine Wood
