About John Tawell
John Tawell was a British murderer and the first person to be arrested as the result of telecommunications technology. Transported to Australia in 1814 for the crime of forgery, Tawell obtained a ticket of leave and started as a chemist in Sydney. There he flourished, and some years later left it a rich man.
