Nadin soon developed a reputation for corruption, for example, he received money from most of the owners of brothels in Manchester. As well as arresting criminals, Nadin was given responsibility of dealing with the growing social unrest in Manchester. In 1812 Nadin arrested thirty-eight weavers for political offences.  On 16 August 1819 William Hulton instructed Joseph Nadin to arrest Henry Hunt and other organisers of a meeting at St. Peter's Field. Nadin replied that this could not be done without the help of the military. Hulton then ordered Lieutenant Colonel L'Estrange, the commander of the military forces in Manchester and Major Trafford, the commander of the Manchester & Salford Yeomanry to arrest the men. While the military attempted to make these arrests, eleven people were killed and over four hundred were injured ('the Peterloo Massacre').  See A Certain Share of Low Cunning - The Provincial Use and Activities of Bow Street 'Runners' 1792-1839, David Cox (Lancaster University) (http://arts.monash.edu.au/publications/eras/edition-5/coxarticle.php).  Joseph moved to Orrishmere Farm, on the boundary of Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme on Cheadle Road, near Stockport, now a golf course and houses.

4e John Nadin, b c1831.  In December 1852 John and his wife Mary Ann Nadin (nee Youde) and baby son John arrived in Port Phillip Bay (Melbourne, Australia) on Chaseley.  Mary Ann did not meet with the approval of John's father - she was an actress, and this is one of the reasons the small family left England for Australia.  John Nadin subsequently moved to Candelo on the New South Wales far south coast in about 1855 with his wife, one son John born in England in 1851, and 2 born in NSW.  They had a property at Candelo, Orrish Meres, of some 970 acres, 1000 acres across the road from Orrish Meres called Brookvale,  another large property called The Station at Rocky Hall, and John and his father-in-law had a 30,000 acre run called Big Jack Run.  Mary Ann died in childbirth in 1870, leaving John with 5 children.  Three years after her death John married his housekeeper/governess, Isabella Darragh, granddaughter of a convict, John Darragh 1804 "Archduke Charles", an Irish Rebel.  The Darraghs by then had acquired large tracts of land in the Candelo area.  Severe droughts afflicted the NSW south coast in the 1890s, and all but one of the Nadin/Darragh families left the south coast for the rich lands of the NSW northern rivers.  Loading their cattle onto coastal steamers, having overlanded them for many miles from their properties, they were then unloaded at Lismore.  The families had then to face the long overland journey of over 200 miles  to Kyogle.  Many of the families became very successful dairy farmers there.  Most of the Darraghs are now spread through northern NSW, the Nadins mostly in Sydney and surrounds.  Many Nadins married Darraghs.
