Other Information	He was employed in a counting house before he left England. He claimed that he had been promised the post of master in a school for 1 000 native children which the Mendicity Society proposed to establish in South Africa, but on his arrival in Albany he found that no such school existed. He lost the case of stationery with which he had equipped himself, and a leg injury necessitated his spending three months in hospital in Grahamstown. He applied for a colonial pass to move to Cape Town, where he obtained temporary employment, but he appealed to the authorities for help in October 1821 as he was out of work and starving.
