The Ordination, Australasian Chronicle, Sydney, 23 August 1843, p 2, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article31740880:

On last Sunday the sacred rites and ceremonies prescribed in the "Pontifical" for the ordination of Priests were impressively performed in St. Mary's Cathedral, when the following deacons--John Grant, James Dunphy, Patrick Maginnis, John Kenny, and Patrick Hallanan--were duly invested with the holy and indelible "character" of the Christian Priesthood.
