Launceston Courier
The Launceston Courier was a weekly newspaper published in Launceston, Tasmania, from 12 October 1840 to 20 March 1843.
History
[edit]The paper was established by John Knight (c. 1800 – 7 December 1860) of Carr Villa, Launceston, who was also a partner with John Pascoe Fawkner[1] and Henry Dowling in the Launceston Advertiser (1829–1846),[2] selling his interest to Benard Charles Jolly in September 1843.
In its final year it incorporated a section Launceston Courier and Teetotal Advocate.[3][4]
Not to be confused with the Weekly Courier, published in Launceston 1901–1935 by the company whose Examiner continues to this day.
