Notes

  • This issue notes that 'a new [English] paper, to be called the Morning Gazette, is about [to be] published in London at the low price of 4d. a number ; it is to be the same size as the present London Times.'
  • A 'crier of the [New South Wales] Supreme Court' by the name of Allott is described in a column in this issue as having a 'benign Pickwickian smile'.
  • The issue 'regret[s] that Meredith [the actor] has not been added to the strength of the company at the [Royal Victoria Theatre]' and that [the actor] Buckingham 'is in treaty with Mr Wyatt'. 'Were Meredith and Buckingham re-engaged,' says the Sydney Gazette, 'Lazar might be tempted to produce The Heir at Law' a play by George Colman the Younger, first performed in England in 1797.
