Two Victorines and a Bristol Forgery Exposé
Fraser’s literary chronicle mingles Wilkie and his works with a vivid tale and a Port Arthur expose. It details Jones the watchmaker and Williams of Newport, their grim labor in Port Arthur, and a chain gang murder. The piece centers on Henry Savary the Bristol sugar-baker, his 1826 forgery, death sentence commuted to transportation, and a harrowing life ending in warnings from the colony.
