Governor Macquarie issues a Proclamation forbidding Aborigines to carry offensive weapons

To deal with hostility around the Hawkesbury, Governor Macquarie issues a Proclamation forbidding Aborigines to carry offensive weapons within proximity of white settlement and sets out terms for their permanent settlement, travel passes and education. The same year, Macquarie outlaws an Aborigine called “Myles” who can be “shot on sight”. His second Proclamation of 4 May 1816 identifies and outlaws nine other “natives”. They are all reputedly “well known to be the principal and most violent instigators of the late murders”: Murrah, Myles, Wallah (Warren), Carbone Jack (Kurringy), Narrang Jack, Bunduck, Kongate, Woottan, Rachel and Yallaman.
