This was earlier by a fortnight than the · pr~liminary re~urn had ever previously. been published in Victoria, and was also earlier than the returns of South Australia. In that colony, the season .being in advance of ours, there is less difficulty in securing an early production of the returns, and hence their rough ·statement haf? generally- anticipated that of Victoria by a short period. · 3· -The number of holders returned• was 2o,o63, bein2:...._... an increase ofNnmb~rofoccupiers.

The greatest increase ( 349) was in Bourke, the next ( 2 55) in Grant, and the next ( i 6 5) in Ripon.- ( See Table 4·) All 'classes of holdings increased in number during the year.

The next greatest increase (3 10) was in lots between 200 and 350 acres in extent, and the next ( 2 12) was in lots between 5 and I 5 acres. The class with the smallest increase was that between 30 and so a~res, which only showed 93 additional lots.-( See Table 5.) · 6. The most numerous allotments were those between 100 and 200 Most and least # numerous acres, of. which there were returned 3,864, or 19 per cent. of the ~hole ; ~~~~~g~~ the next were those between so and 100 acres, which numbered 3,622, or I 8 per cent. of tlte . total ; then those between 5 and I 5 acres, which numbered 2,676, or 13 per cent. The least common size was from 350 to soo acres, of which there were only 677 lots, or 3 per cent. of tlie whole ; then between I and 5 acres, of which there were 1,4~0 lots; then over soo acres, of which there were 1,7o4lots.-(See Table 6.) 7. The holders may be divided into those having, some portion ofF1reehohldlersdease o ers. and their land in freehold and those having no freehold land. The former numbered 14,429, and the latter 5,634.

H::tving recently submitted for general information an abstract of the Agricultural Statistics for the year 1858, shewing the aggregate results for the several counties and pastoral districts of the Colony, I now t..'tke leave to present some Supplementary Tables shewing in detail the cultivation, the classification of the holdings, with the distribution and description of the Live Stock · These Tables are replete with matter of the highest interest to the public, and are well deserving of an attentive analysis, considering especially the important position which ' agriculture is rapidly attaining in this country. It appears that in March, 1858, the additional quantity of purchased land of which the occupiers had entered into possession during the preceding twelve months, amounted to 580,785 acres. .As the population had increased during that period 58,871 persons, or from 410,766 to 469,637, it follows that for every individual added to the gross population very neurly ten acres were occupied for agricultural purposes, either of grazing or tillage.

  • John and Catherine Macdonald Family History
    John and Catherine MacDonald Family History. John and Catherine (Macdonald) Macdonald John Macdonald b. 1806 Isle of Skye, Parish of Kilmuir County of Inverness Married 6th February 1827 at Skye, Parish of Snizort, County of Inverness From the Old Parish Registers, Parish of Snizort, County Inverness Shire. To Catherine Macdonald b. 1810 Isle of Skye, Inverness. (daughter of Hector & wife ?(Shaw) Macdonald, she died 6th March 1891 in Warrnambool Victoria Cert Ref No. 4341. They were said to be first cousins who eloped to marry. John & Catherine were believed to have lived around Snizort/Kilmuir, small neighbouring parishes on the Isle of Skye and the story of ‘crossing the border’ to marry because of family opposition came from Henrietta (Macdonald) Davies through to daughter Gertrude Mary (Davies) Benn. It would be hard to know which border they were referring to. Perhaps it was to a different Parish other than where they lived! The Isle of Skye comes under the jurisdiction of the County of Inverness. Henrietta had said the poem ‘Lord Ullins Daughter’ was about very similar circumstances. Lord Ullin's Daughter A chieftain, to the Highlands bound, Cries, ``Boatman, do not tarry! And I'll give thee a silver pound To row us o'er the ferry!''-- ``Now, who be ye, would cross Lochgyle, This dark and stormy weather?'' ``O, I'm the chief of Ulva's Isle, And this, Lord Ullin's daughter.-- ``And fast before her father's men Three days we've fled together, For should he find us in the glen, My blood would stain the heather.
