Talk:John Tawell
John Tawell pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey in February 1814 for having in his possession a forged banknote (not for forgery) and was accordingly sentenced to fourteen years transportation. Although he had in fact been attempting to commit forgery, the timely discovery of the forged note saved him from the gallows. He was transported to New South Wales, arriving in Sydney in January 1815 where he served part of his sentence before receiving a ticket-of-leave and later a conditional pardon. He established the first retail pharmacy in New South Wales in 1820 then gradually invested in importing and exporting. He made a number of journeys backwards and forwards to England before his final departure from New South Wales in 1838.
