Evening Journal (Adelaide) 23 June 1891
THE LATE MR. C. W. STUART.—The death
is announced, in his eightieth year, of Mr.
Charles W. Stuart, a gentleman who ranked
amongst the pioneers of South Australia, and
took an active share in the hardships, dangers,
and stirring events which characterized the
early history of the colony in those days of
trouble, when the Toughest experiences had to
be encountered with pluck and fortitude, and
lawless men of the bushranger class had to be
brought to justice. Mr. Stuart was identified
with the colony from its earliest history. He
was born in St. Marylebone, London, in 1812,
and was first sent to the Merchant Tailors'
School and subsequently to a private school
for his education. It was originally intended
that he should adopt a military
profession, but there was a difficulty
about getting a commission, and he
decided to seek his fortune in Australia. He
sailed from England in 1832 in the Atwick,
bound for Hobart Town and Sydney, and
when he arrived at the latter place he joined
his relative, Captain W. Caswell, R.N., who had
a cattle station at Port Stephens. Obtaining a
preliminary land order in 1835 for the new
colony of South Australia, he came over here
in the schooner Truelove, and landed at
Kangaroo Island on November 13, 1836. For
two years he was in charge of cattle and
horses for the South Australian Company, and
saw a great deal of bush life in that capacity.
In 1850 he accepted the appointment of
Inspector of the Metropolitan Police in Adelaide.
He became Senior Inspector of Mounted
Police, and was connected with the famous
gold escort. In 1853 he was made a
Police Magistrate and Commissioner of Police.
Mr. Stuart was a bold, active officer, and with
the members of the Police Force had much
perilous as well as arduous duty devolving upon
him owing to the unsettled state of the country.
When Inspector of Foot Police he assisted in
the recapture of Bell Chambers, a notorious
character, who had escaped from custody.
After long service in the Police Force Mr.
Stuart severed his connection-with it, and
settled down to more peaceful and lucrative
pursuits, in which he appeared to have succeeded
fairly well. He, with the late Mr. J.
A Northmore and the late Mr. S. C. Pearson,
was an earnest believer in the existence of
petroleum on the Coorong. He had been
staying at Mount Barker until two years back,
and had since resided in East Adelaide. The
family of the deceased gentleman consists of
six married daughters and four sons.
