Clerk J.

He's English, a laborer, aged thirty-three, five foot six inches high with a slender build, dark complexion, black hair, small and peculiar dark eyes, a very thin lightish colored beard and whiskers, and sometimes shaves his upper lip, quick and erect gait.

And then a newspaper article says, "A peculiar case of bigamy was tried the other day at the Bacchus Marsh Court of Petty Sessions in Victoria when a man named Charles Dawson was brought up for this offense.

The prisoner had been arrested at Moonee Ponds on a warrant issued from New South Wales.

Bridget Dawson married him in 1853 at St. James's Church in Melbourne.

He enrolled in the Ordinary Course of Studies, which included Greek, Latin, Maths, and Physics.

In 1866, after two years of mediocre marks, Bram ceased his studies to begin working in the civil service as a clerk in the Registrar of Petty Sessions.

He then returned to his education concurrently with this job the following year and managed to graduate in 1870 with a BA, completing what was typically a four-year degree in six years.

We can all relate.

back to this.

yeah

but like i still don't feel like the evidence is that good then either so okay but yes so we're going to talk about important person number three now and we're going to take a slightly circuitous route to get there bram worked as a clerk in the civil service from 1866 to 1878 in the department of registrar of petty sessions clerks and was on a modest salary i realize this is really boring stick with me it's fine we're gonna get there together

i was literally about to be like that sounds supremely boring yes no offense to any clerks
