Background Note
Deed of Trust between Sir George Gipps of the first part, Thomas Hassall of the second part, and John Campbell and Robert Campbell of the third part, signed under seal, 26 September 1838, and recorded in the Register of Grants, 1841, signed by the Colonial Secretary and Registrar, Edward Deas Thomson. The British government enacted regulations which permitted grants of land to the children of Colonial Chaplains, granted 'in consideration of the inadequacy of the salaries of Chaplains in New South Wales'. By 1838, the regulations had been abolished and instead a sum of money 'equal to the value thereof fixed at a determined rate should be vested in the hands of the Trustees to form a fund for the benefit of the Family of said Chaplains'. The Deed of Trust appoints John Campbell and Robert Campbell trustees of monies for the children of Thomas Hassall.
