Lot 205
SIR CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY (1816-1903)His New Gate Prison cell lock cover plate. The rectangular metal plate painted on both sides with white numerals ‘22’, 12.8 x 10.1 cm. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, Irish nationalist, politician, journalist and 8th Premier of Victoria. He was arrested in 1846 following an attempt at insurrection in Tipperary and was imprisoned in Richmond Prison on a charge of sedition based on his involvement with ‘Young Ireland’ and articles that had appeared in The Nation, which he edited and co-founded with Thomas Davis and John Blake Dillon. Duffy was first imprisoned in New Gate, which served as a holding facility for prisoners, prior to his conviction and removal to Richmond prison. He was later released in April 1849. In 1856, disheartened by the political atmosphere in Ireland, he emigrated with his family to Australia and later became the 8th Premier of Victoria in 1871. This unique item bears a typed clipping attached to the rear of the number plate, though not entirely readable, it recounts the return of Sir Charles Gavan Duffy to New Gate prison prior to its demolition in 1893 wherein he visited his old cell and asked the new owner of the property for the lock so that he might return to Australia with it. The transcription of this text is as follows: Mr. T Byrne… sends us the…“After the purchase of Newgate Jail… by my father, the late Mr. ____ Byrne b____ 38 and 39 J_____ street. In the course of his taking down the old building, the late Sir Charles Gavan Duffy called into the jail and asked to be shown the cell he was confined in. On his reaching it, he entered it and requested that the door be closed for a few minutes. On coming out he expressed a wish to possess the lock of his cell door, ___ anxious to take it with him to Australia; ___ I need not say how __ my father (also a 48 man)was to hand it to him.Provenance: Sir Charles Gavan Duffy and thence by family descent
