The Salt-hill murder and Towell the forger a decades tale
An 1840 case of Lord William Russell’s murder by his valet Courvoisier echoes through Towell’s life. Towell, once jailed for a forged Bank of England note and transported, built wealth in Sydney as a chemist and trader, later returning to England. His life intertwined with the Society of Friends, marriage to Mrs Cutforth Towell, and a haunting arc of crime, remorse, and public fascination.
