Arrival of the November Mail, Freeman's Journal, Sydney, 26 January 1859, p 3, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article115560626:
All Hallows College.—The Right Rev. Dr. Whelan, in the absence of his Grace the Archbishop, held an ordination in the College of the Foreign Missions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 20th, 21st, and 22nd October. The holy order of priesthood was conferred on the Rev. Michael O'Fannan, who is destined for the missions of Newark, New Jersey (U.S.), and on the Rev. James S. Cotter, destined for San Francisco, California. In the month of September his lordship ordained the Rev. William Tierney for the diocese of Melbourne, Australia. On Saturday, the 16th October, the Rev. James Moore, priest of the diocese of Melbourne, who lately completed his course of studies in All Hallows' College, embarked at Liverpool as chaplain on board the Annie Wilson. This vessel has just been despatched to Melbourne by the Emigration Commissioners. We are happy to say that the Commissioners have at length recognised the expediency of sending chaplains in the large emigrant vessels which they despatch to the Australian colonies. We trust that this principle will be extended as far as possible.—Freeman.
