NotesIn 1890, F. Augustus Devereax, 11, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of 114 Barnardo children (some of whom disembarked later at Portland, Maine, USA).

Sessional papers of the Dominion of Canada : [Sessional papers of the Dominion of Canada : volume 4, first session of the seventh Parliament, session 1891]:

"I have to report that on arrival of the SS "Parisian," 6th April, Frederick Agustus Devereux, age 12 years, and one of Dr. Barnardo's party for Russell, Man., was stolen from the steamer by parties unknown. I placed the matter in the hands of the police, and in a day or two the boy was left at my office by a man who said the boy had been left at his house during the night.

The lawyer I took advice from did not think the Immigration Acts of 1869 and 1872 fully covered such cases, and that some special provision should be made providing a very heavy penalty."
