Her ship, the Marco Polo was a three-masted wooden clipper ship, launched in 1851 at Saint John, New Brunswick Marco Polo departed on March 13, 1853 and arrived at Melbourne on May 29 - this information came from other sources, so Rosalie is likely incorrect about her date of arrival (she does not know the day and put June!). Ship transferred to British owners in 1854 and took emigrants to Australia.
Rosalie has named a Referee with the same surname as her own (there may be no connection), but either way she is informed she needs to have a signature by a High Court Judge or police magistrate, and must take the oath again.
