  • The Crown & Kangaroo Victorian Colonial Flags
    The Crown & Kangaroo Victorian Colonial Flags. Copyright © John Rogers 2012 After separating from New South Wales in 1851, the Colony of Victoria lacked a distinctive flag to indicate that its vessels belonged to a the colony of Victoria. It has previously been believed that this state of affairs continued until 1870 when a Victorian flag was available for flying from the colony’s vessels. The research detailed below indicates that two types of official Victorian flags were in use prior to 1870. It would appear that history had simply forgotten about them. Inauguration of the Victorian Flags in 1870 On the 9th of February 1870 Her Majesty’s Victorian Ship (HMVS) Nelson and the reformatory Ship, Sir Harry Smith fired a 21 gun salute. The occasion was the unfurling of the new blue Victorian Government flag and new red Victorian Merchant flag on board the ex-Line-of-Battleship HMVS Nelson . Described by The Argus 1 newspaper as an event of some importance, the Naval & Military Gazette 2 pointed out that the new (government) flag was “adopted at the suggestion of the Admiralty to distinguish the vessels of the Victorian Navy”. This 1870 Victorian flag was very similar to the current Australian flag. Naturally, being prior to federation, the 1870 flag did not include the federation star and unlike the current Australian flag, the stars of the Southern Cross on the Victorian flag had, and still have, five, six, seven, eight and nine points. The 1870 flag soon evolved into the 1877 flag when the size of the Southern Cross was reduced and an imperial crown added above it.

  • 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.

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.

  • The Panter Orrs
    THE PANTER ORRS . WILLIAM HENRY PANTER To quote from the “ Laindon and District Community Archive “ “ William Henry Panter was born at the Rectory , Laindon in 1841 . His father Frederick Downes Panter was a cleric in holy orders , and later became Rector of Thetford , Norfolk . William joined the Navy in 1855 at the age of 14 . He immediately went out to China with Admiral Keppel and served throughout the whole of the China war . He was a courageous man , or should we say boy , being involved in three engagements and in two boarding parties ; resulting in him being mentioned in dispatches and resulting in him receiving the China medal and two clasps . By the age of twenty , following several skirmishes he was appointed acting navigating sub–lieutenant by Admiral Sir James Hope . He was then given the command of a gun boat, and on the vessel being paid off , he was complemented by senior Naval Officers at Hong Kong for having brought home the vessel safely through one of the worst Typhoons ever known at the time . Only one out of the crew of thirty managed to get back with him . ( another source says that he returned with only 5 of the crew – the others being “ disabled “ by the terrible conditions . This sounds far less drastic – I had imagined terrible thoughts to explain how only 1 out of 30 crew made it back , as the Laindon archive report unbelievably suggested ) . In England he was appointed navigating sub–lieutenant of the Marlborough flagship in the Mediterranean , under Admiral Sir Robert Smart . Very shortly afterwards he was given command of a three gun , gun boat .
