A HISTORICAL SURVEY OF THE VICTORIAN CONSTITUTION, 1856 TO 1956 The first Victorian Parliament elected under the provisions of the Constitution Act 1855 met on 21 November 1856. It was celebrated as a great event and the day was proclaimed a holiday. A future Premier of the Colony recorded his impressions of the day's events. 'The Corporation headed by the ~a~or,-theJudges in their-robes, the Town Councillors in their uniforms, the Foreign Consuls looking as like Ambassadors as thev could contrive to do, and the Governor accompanied by a staff and escorted by volunteer cavalry arrived at a chamber crowded with ladies.'l he occasion was n&eworthy in more ways than one. Not only was this the first Victorian parliament to be elected under the regime of responsible government, but Victoria blazed a trail by conducting the election by secret ballot. The legislation enacting ;he secret ballot had been adopted in 1856 by the Legislative Council established in 1850, though not without vehement opposition and expressions of foreboding.' This new- fangled method of voting proved a great success, and the conduct of the election was applauded by contemporary observer^.^ Under the Constitution Act, thirty members were elected to the Legis- lative Councile and sixty to- the A~sembly.~No person was eligible for election to the Legislative Council unless he was thirty years of age and owned freehold property to the value of Egooo or the annual value of The qualification for election to the Assembly was the attainment of the age of twenty-one and the ownership df freehold land to the value 07 Ez,ooo, ors the annual value of ~200.' * M.A., B.C.L. -
Imprisonment for Debt in Colonia Victoria, 1857–90
‘CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE’:1 IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT IN COLONIAL VICTORIA, 1857–90 JODIE B OYD, * IAN RAMSAY† AND PAUL ALI‡ The reintroduction in 1857 of imprisonment for debt in colonial Victoria flew in the face of international momentum for its abolition. In its criminalisation of debt and poverty, the Fellows Act 1857 (Vic) (21 Vict, No 29) also defied the rapid advancement of democratic and egalitarian principles in the fledgling colony. Frequently referred to as ‘gross class legislation’, the law was used unabashedly to target poor small debtors, leaving ‘mercantile men’ with significant debt untroubled by the prospect of a debtors’ gaol. Despite consistent and broad opposition to the Fellows Act 1857 (Vic) (21 Vict, No 29), its advocates resisted repeated attempts to abolish or meaningfully amend it. It is argued here that the law, and its survival against the ‘spirit of the age’, can be understood as part of a broader story of conservative resistance to the democratic innovations that threatened the power of the Victorian mercantilist establishment.

The Queen’s Ministers of State for the Commonwealth: The Relationship between the Prerogatives of the Crown and the Executive Power of the Commonwealth Ryan William Haddrick LLB JamesCook, LLM QldUT, GradDipLegPrac ANU A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 T.C. Beirne School of Law i ii ABSTRACT The orthodox view is that the prerogatives of the Crown are textually incorporated, or sourced, in the language of s 61 of the Australian Constitution. This work challenges that assumption by examining the text, structure and history of ss 2, 61 and 64 of the Constitution. In particular, the inclusion of the words “under the Crown” and “shall be the Queen’s Ministers of State for the Commonwealth” in the preamble and s 64 respectively are, it is argued, textual indicators (and devices) that the prerogative is textually recognised or affirmed by those provisions, and ought to be seen as emanating from the Crown, and recognised by common law – and not as emanating from s 61 of the Constitution. Having argued that the executive power of the Commonwealth (that is, s 61) is not the textual source, or recognition, of the prerogatives of the Crown, this dissertation then posits a theory as to how s 61 should be construed. True to its Montesquieuian heritage, it is argued that the executive power of the Commonwealth ought to be understood in a functionalist sense. The evidence considered to support these propositions is the text, structure and history of the constitutional provisions. In particular, this dissertation examines the historical concept of the prerogatives of the Crown; the way that body of constitutional doctrine became part of the Australian constitutional landscape; and how the prerogative was understood to operate in pre-Federation Imperial and colonial case law. -
Diane Murray Thesis
Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Swinburne University of Technology March 2016 Abstract This thesis comprises two components: a novel titled “Printer’s Ink” and an exegetical essay, “Unreal Truths: The Lies in Every Story”. These two documents together articulate my primary research question, “Does borrowing from another’s life to create a story develop a (perceived) debt to the subject in the writer’s conscience and if so, does that debt influence how the writer finally depicts the character?” Further, it addresses the subsidiary issues which arose from the writing of the artefact. These can be summed up as follows: “Does transference activated through generational family narrative impact on the writer’s ability to clearly depict an historical character with impunity?” “Printer’s Ink” is an epistolary work written from the perspective of Marion Leathem, a newspaper Proprietress in Central West New South Wales from 1879 to 1919. The epistolary genre is used to tell the life of this character in fictional biographic style through the medium of her letters to family, business associates and friends. The novel illustrates how epistolary narrative and historical fiction can recreate a life through the emotional connection of self as "other" by allowing the psychoanalytic phenomena of transference and countertransference to filter the writing through the psyche of the writer’s unconscious mind. The exegesis discusses the theories, methodologies and fictional techniques utilised in the artefact through the prisms of autoethnography and historiography. As such, it deploys the modes of both research led practice and practice led research. -
Chapter 3 of Well Rowed University: Melbourne University Boat Club
Well Rowed University melbourne university boat club the first 150 years The front page and accompanying note to the reconstructed records of the Club 1859–70, completed by John Lang in July 1912 Judith Buckrich MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB INC . w e l l r o w e d u n i v e r s i t y University elite become leaders of the Club The committee bought a large blue and black diagonal striped fl ag, with MUBC in white lettering on it, and this was unfurled by the Lieutenant Governor, Sir John Madden, at the Club sheds on 30 March 1904. According to John Lang, this was the fi rst fl ag of this design ever fl own by a university club. The fl ag went missing and was thought (by John Lang) to have been stolen around Henley Regatta Day in 1910. Mysteriously, an unknown person left a brand new fl ag of exactly the same design at Lang’s offi ce on 12 chapter three August 1911.1 In the Club’s records Lang mused, ‘Was it conscience or a generous but anonymous donor?’. To his great surprise, the old fl ag was discovered in 1911, having been inadvertently rolled up with other Henley paraphernalia. To his even greater surprise, he then discovered the anonymous donor was none other than his wife, who was ‘induced The fabulous years until the to confess the gift owing to my telling her how the old fl ag had been found.’2 Sadly, there is no trace of either fl ag today. -
T He Hi S Tor Y of St. Kilda
T HE HI S TOR Y OF ST. KILDA FROM ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT TO A CITY AND AFTER 1840 T O 1930 VOLUME I. Compiled by Order of the St. Kilda City Council by JOHN BUTLER COOPER " Aut scribenda agere, aut legenda scribere." " To do what is inset to be recorded, or to write what is worthy to be read." [Inscription taken from the monument of John Stow, London's 16th Century Historian and Topographer] Registered under the Commonwealth Copyright Act, 1912 Melbourne: PRINTERS PROPRIETARY LIMITED 27 LITTLE BOURKE STREET 1931 PREFACE I thank the Councillors of the City of St. Kilda for conferring upon me the distinguished honor of the appointment of Official Historian of the City of St. Kilda. I hope that my work will be considered by them of such merit as to justify their choice of myself for such an important commission. I am indebted to the Town Clerk, Mr. F. W. Chamberlin, for submitting to me old records of St. Kilda that he has, from time to time, patiently collected, and thoughtfully husbanded for historical purposes. In other ways Mr. Chamberlin has given to me generous assistance; and also inspiriting encouragement, in my attempt to complete the difficult task of writing the history, in such a way, as to be worthy of the city. I have endeavored to make, in the text, adequate acknowledgment of any source of important local information that I have happily tapped. Throughout the work I have indicated when it is a surmise I am projecting, so that the reader may not accept a surmise as face value for a fact, and so be misled. -

6 EDMUND LA TOUCHE ARMSTRONG Fifty years of the Public Library: some recollections and some notes Edited with an introduction by Kevin Molloy Introduction On his extended trip to Britain and Ireland in 1908, Edmund La Touche Armstrong was given a number of requests by the Trustees of the Melbourne Public Library Board. Armstrong was to travel – partly on extended leave and partly for health reasons1 – firstly to London to arrange a meeting with Sir Edward Maunde-Thompson, head of the British Library (then part of the British Museum), with a view to discussing some of the finer features of the plans for the Domed Reading Room for the new Melbourne Library building and to get some feedback from the head of one of the world’s great heritage institutions. The Domed Reading Room project, for which Armstrong will chiefly be remembered, was initiated by him and strongly supported by the Trustees. By the time of his trip in 1908, building was well under way. Armstrong’s second major task was to report on the current state of library practice in Britain, Ireland and America, and the trip enabled him to visit some of the great libraries in these countries as well as make an extended visit to European institutions. But the journey was also recreational leave; a large part of the time was spent visiting aunts and cousins in Ireland and Britain and working on the La Touche Armstrong family history, much to the amusement of his mother, then residing at the Public Library,2 and who had scant curiosity about such things. -
