Is there a kind Tasmanian out there who will do me a huge favour please?

I need someone to go to the Archives in Hobart (I think that is where they
are kept anyway) and look up some stuff for me.

I am interested in the Diaries of the Reverend Robert Knopwood dating
between 1819 and 1822. I would like to know what he wrote about the ordering
of punishments to prisoners during that period. Any references in particular
to accusations against James Gordon of taking bribes (Feb/March 1820); Also,
if he mentions the names of any of the prisoners that he ordered punishments
to during that time.

And also, any information at all on a Edward Westwood, a farmer of some sort
in the Hobart or nearby area in 1821.

Would also like to know if there are any records of the sorts of things that
convicts might have built in a gaol gang during that same period 1819-1824.
