Suttor always spoke of Bligh as a "firm and kind-hearted English gentleman, no tyrant and no coward" (W. H. Suttor, Australian Stories Retold, p. 6). In 1810 Suttor was summoned to England as a witness on behalf of Bligh, and arrived in Australia again in May 1812. In August 1814 Suttor was given the position of superintendent of the lunatic asylum at Castle Hill with a salary of £50; in February 1819 he was dismissed from this position on charges he used lunatic labour on his farm.
Suttor's accounts consistently portrayed Bligh as a "firm and compassionate English gentleman, free from ruthlessness and timidity" (W. H. Suttor, Australian Stories Retold, p. 6). In 1810 Suttor was summoned to England as an attorney for Bligh, and returned to Australia in May 1812. In August 1814 Suttor received the role of superintendent at Castle Hill lunatic asylum with a salary of £50; in February 1819 he was dismissed from this position due to accusations that he employed lunatic labor on his farm.
