Henry Hopwood : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Hopwood
Henry Hopwood (1813, Bolton, Lancashire1869) was an English convict who established the town of Echuca in Victoria, Australia.〔McCarthy, Susan, (''Hopwood, Henry (1813 - 1869)'' ), Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 4, Melbourne University Press, 1972, pp 422-423.〕 == Early life ==
Hopwood was arrested in 1834 for receiving stolen rolls of silk, and sentenced to 14 years' transportation to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania, a British colony in Australia). A persuasive and manipulative character, within a year of arriving in the colony, Hopwood had been appointed as a police constable. However, he often found himself in trouble, mainly due to dalliances with women, and in 1839, he was sentenced to two years' servitude at the Port Arthur penal settlement for 'aiding and abetting the abduction of his master's daughter'. He was eventually released and, in 1846, granted a full pardon after having served 12 years of his original sentence.
