Geocache Description:

At last, the long awaited SECOND, in the "Cash's Caches" series. You don't need to have completed Cash's Caches #1 to do this cache.

Martin Cash was born in Wexford, Ireland in 1808. In 1827 he shot at a man in a jealous rage for making advances on his sweetheart and was sentenced to seven years transportation to New South Wales. He arrived in Sydney in 1828. When he was released on Ticket of Leave he worked as a stockman in the Hunter Valley and took up with a woman named Bessie Clifford, who left her husband to live with the young Irishman. He and Bessie left for Tasmania in 1837 under a cloud of suspicion for cattle stealing. They lived on various homesteads as a working couple, one being a dairy farm near Campbell Town, south of Launceston.
On one occasion, Cash and Bessie were "accosted by two constables" who accused Bessie of being drunk. Cash struck one "a violent blow on the side of the head". The other, coming to his assistance went down also. Cash was arrested on a charge on being drunk and resisting arrest. At court, the following morning, the magistrate, on seeing that Cash was perfectly sober, dismissed all charges. The constable, who was himself drunk at the time of making the charge, was ordered to pay Cash compensation of one pound for damage done to Cash's clothing.
Much later, while Cash was absent from the farm, some property was stolen. This was later discovered in the possession of a man whom he had allowed to stay on the farm. However, Cash was arrested and convicted of the theft. He was sentenced to a further seven years. So began his decline into a second life of crime.
Cash and two others escaped from Port Arthur and formed a bushranging gang. He was then involved in another romantic dispute over his wife in Hobart and shot a policeman. For this crime he was sentenced to life imprisonment on Norfolk Island where he was considered a model prisoner and was given a pardon in 1853. He returned to Hobart and died a respected citizen in 1877.

Campbell town's earliest land grant was awarded to Martin Cash in the 1840s. The house in which he lived lies across the river from the cache, but was burnt down in the 1950s.
