Notes - ELIZABETH PECK was born in New South Wales on 20th July 1793 shortly after her parents return from Norfolk Island. Elizabeth left the colony in 1810 on The Hunter, bound for Bengal, where she married Peter Lette. They returned to Van DiemenÂ’s Land in 1817 where they settled and had a large family. Peter Lette died in 1833. Elizabeth Peck died in 1864.
One member of Peter Lette and Elizabeth Peck's large descendancy worthy of mention is writer KATHY LETTE, whose first book, Puberty Blues, co-written with Gabrielle Carey, was published when she was 21. Its depiction of teen culture in Australia's surfing world attracted considerable attention at the time and it was made into a feature film by Bruce Beresford in 1981. Kathy spent some years as a singer in a rock band, a newspaper columnist in Sydney and New York and a television sitcom writer, and has written several plays. In October 2003, she was appointed "Writer in Residence" at the Savoy Hotel, London, joining other literary greats who have held this position, such as Noel Coward, Emile Zola, Oscar Wilde, Somerset Maugham and Mark Twain.
KathyÂ’s Husband, Geoffrey Robertson QC, has appeared as counsel in many landmark human rights cases. He has handled hundreds of death sentence appeals in the Privy Council and led the defence in the Matrix Churchill trial which exposed the arms to Iraq scandal, and the prosecution in proceedings against Hastings Banda. He defended dissidents detained by Lee Kuan Yew and served as counsel to the Antiguan Royal Commission which exposed the international plot to arm the MedellÃn cartel. He was the first (and last) advocate permitted to appear in Mozambique's Revolutionary Military Tribunal. In the 1980s he conducted missions to South Africa and Vietnam, and helped to defend the Charter signatories in Prague.
Famous for his Australian television program “Hypotheticals” Robertson is Head of Doughty Street Chambers which comprises some 70 barristers and 30 staff. He is a Recorder and Visiting Professor in Human Rights Law at Birkbeck College. He is an executive member of Justice and a Master of the Middle Temple. His books include Freedom, the Individual and the Law, Media Law, People Against the Press, Does Dracula Have Aids?, and a memoir, The Justice Game, which was published in 1998.Peter Lette was one of the main merchants in Launceston.
Peter Lette arrived on Bengal in about 1818 and settled on 400 acres (in Launceston) and kept a public house. He received grain in payment for spirits to the amount of many hundreds of bushels a year.
