  • No '59' SYDNEY, 'May 1' 181'3' JOHN HUTCHINSON. TWO SHILLINGS & SIXPENCE. I Promise to Pay to Bearer, the Sum of Two Shillings and Sixpence, in Copper Coin, 'Currency' on Demand. 2s. 6d. 'J Hutchinson'. John Hutchinson a convicted wool-stapler was pardoned in 1813 by Governor Macquarie on testimonials that he was capable of establishing the first paper mill in the fledgling Colony which was desperately needed to produce newsprint etc. This venture proved a failure and he soon fell out of favour with Macquarie as well as his business partner Simeon Lord who laid claim to Hutchinson's (Paper) Mill. The mill was located on land granted to Hutchinson at the head of the Lachlan Swamp, a remnant of which still exists in Sydney's Centennial Park. As a free man Hutchinson was quick to issue 'One Shilling', 'One Shilling & Sixpence', 'Two Shillings & Sixpence' and 'Five Shillings' Promissory Notes all dated 1813 the year of his release.
