    3. Thanks to Douglas Burberry I’ve been able to piece together some more information about my ggg grandfather, John Lamph. He was in continual trouble after he arrived, receiving a total of about 200 lashes for various misdemeanours. Years ago I was in Hobart and found the following about him on microfiche in the library. "7/3/1822 Causing to be made known he would publicly fight and thereby inducing several thousand convicts and other persons illegally to assemble together causing a great affray to the terror of King George III's subjects by publicly fighting - Disobedience of the orders and contempt of the authority of the Superintendent of Police - 50 lashes and to work for two months in the Gaol Gang.” I’ve never been able to find out what this was all about. I’ve searched Trove, but to no avail. Can anybody help me? Regards, Doug Hille in Geelong. Researching Lamph, Whitchurch, Peck, Price, Nunn, Argent, Hayward, Fewtrell, Kearley, Frost,
