21 July 1838 ….The first baptism at Holy Trinity North Terrace By Brian Dickey.

 Miss Eliza Malpas, the author of this memoir written, was a sister in law of Charles Mann. This is a transcribed extract from her diary.[1] No other material from this diary exists. It is transcribed from a print displayed in the vestry at Holy Trinity Church, North Terrace Adelaide. No other source details are available. This piece may have appeared in an Adelaide newspaper in 1932, prompting the query from the Secretary of the Library. The State Library of SA holds no records of Eliza Malpas, or for that matter Charles Mann, Eliza’s relative in its collections. Mr James Hurtle Fisher was the Resident Land Commissioner for the Colony.
