By the death of Mr. Charles Bendin Powell, which occurred at Upper Walkerville on Tuesday, South Australia has been deprived of another of the earliest settlers of the province. Mr. Powell, who was in his 88th year, arrived at Kangaroo Island on July 27, 1836, in the Duke of York, which was the first vessel belonging to the South Australian Company's fleet to enter St. Vincent's Gulf. He was a native of Hackney Wick, having been born there on March 1, 1810. On May 14, 1838, he was married at Trinity Church to the late Mrs. Powell, the officiating minister being the Rev. C. B. Howard. Powell went to work as a gardener on the island whenhe arrived there, having been engaged in that capacity by the South Australian Company. After two years of work, however, the company abandoned work on the island, and Mr. Powell servered his connection with the institution. Subsequently for a short time he engaged in business in Adelaide, after which he removed to Walkerville. A number of years were devoted to dairying, but for many years before his death he had lived in retirement. Up to the last he retained full possessionof his faculties, with the exception thathe was somewhat hard of hearing. Sixty years ago the advent of a ship into South Australian waters was quite an episode, and Mr. Powell could give interesting accounts of the arrival of all the earlier vessels which came to our shores. The first of these were the barque Duke of York, which left England on April 5, 1836, and arrival at St. Vincent's Gulf on July 27. Then came Lady Mary Pelham, which left England April 7, 1830, and reached its destination on July 30. These were followed by the John Pirie, the Rapid, and the Cygnet.

"Police Court, Adelaide. Thursday, 29th April. Before H. R. Wigley. Esq. Charles Powell, was charged with being a dangerous lunatic; Jane Powell stated that she lived at Walkerville; she was sorry to say the prisoner was her husband. He had oeen in the Lunatic Asylum aoout five or six years ago, but had since conducted himself tolerably well, until within the last few weeks. On Monday night last he threatened to take her life; and she was in constant fear that he would do so. He had formerly attempted to cut his throat. Prisoner— At whose instigation was it that I was put into the Asylum? Witness— Not mine, but Dr. Woodforde's. Prisoner — Can a man be a lunatic who has a remembrance of events which happened when he was but four or five years of age? I have never threatened, to take her life. Can she prove that I am her husband? Sarah Sanders, wife of Henry Sanders, deposed that she lived next door to the prisoner's at Walkerville. About nine weeks ago, he threatened to dash his wife's brains put with a long broom. On Monday night last he threatened to murder her, and said that afterwards he should be at rest. The prisoner again denied that he had ever threatened to take the life of his wife. Remanded.(SA Register 30/4/1852)"[5] "Police Court. 30th April. Charles Powell was brought up on remand, charged as a dangerous lunatic. Dr. Woodforde stated that he had known tho prisoner for years. He did not think his mind was in a fit state to allow him to be at large. He considered him to be a decidedly dangerous lunatic. Committed for one week on the opinion of the Colonial Surgeon.
