South Australian, Tuesday 5 September 1848, p3, Local News

The passengers per Harpley are principally male lace manufacturers, formerly from Nottingham, and recently expelled from France, by the admirers of  liberty, fraternity, and unity. Their passage, we hear, was paid by subscription and the Union funds of Nottingham, to prevent them becoming a burthen to their city.

Hearsay does not often hear the correct story!
