Would not a bishop, to stand between the mighty major and the poor chaplain on this occasion, have been a guardian of "civil and religious liberty?" Respecting these, see the assertions in Ullathorne's Reply to Burton, page 6. The confusion resulting from the seizure of the governor was lamentable indeed in a colony at the best of times so difficult to be managed.
It is right to state here that the cause of a supply of religious instruction having been so long delayed in Norfolk Island is said, by a Roman Catholic writer, to have been the impossibility of finding a clergyman to undertake the charge. See Ullathorne's Reply to Burton, pp. 39, 40.
It is said that a bad man was called a good man, and that one who was ready to perform his duty was generally called a bad man; and so, in other respects, language was adapted to the complete subversion of the human heart there existing. See ULLATHORNE'S Evidence before the Committee on Transportation, 1838, No. 271, p. 27.
Ullathorne, is that the two priests divide the salary, and receive together no more than the one chaplain. ULLATHORNE'S Reply to Burton, p. 76. The reader must bear in mind the different scale of expenses required by a person who must be single, and that of a person who may be, and generally is, a married man. See Committee on Transportation, 1838, pp. 137, 138.
What truth there may be in these insinuations, or in the charge against Judge Burton of enlarging upon a Romish priest's being a convict, while he disguises the same truth when it applied to an English clergyman, must be left to others better acquainted with the facts to determine. See Ullathorne's Reply to Burton, p. 5.
Marsden, a second chaplain, arrived in the colony. If any person is desirous of seeing how easily the faults and failings of individuals may be turned into arguments against a church, he has only to refer to Ullathorne's Reply to Burton, chap i. "The Dark Age." See the authorities quoted by Burton on Religion and Education in New South Wales, p. 6.
