In this dispatch to Lord Bathurst, Macquarie listed the men he regarded as his enemies, noting that 'All of the above mentioned Persons have long been in the habit of writing Home the most gross misrepresentations'. Four years later in a 'List of Factions and Dissatisfied', he added another seven names, including John Macarthur, Judge Barron Field and Dr James Bowman.
