My Lord, Government House, 8th May, 1844. Memorial I have the honor herewith to forward a Memorial which transmitted from G. Busby, has been addressed to Your Lordship by Mr. Busby, praying compensation for loss of his situation as an Assistant Surgeon on the Convict Establishment of this Colony. Mr. Busby is a member of a (Family long settled in this Colony, his Father having been in the Service of the Govern­ Employment ment; and he has himself been employed since the year 1826 as of G. Busby an Assistant Colonial Surgeon, but did not, previously to 1826, as assistant colonial hold any public employment whatsoever. surgeon. After serving at other stations, he was placed in charge of the Convict Hospital at Bathurst in the year 1828, and remained there until that Hospital was reduced in 1842 (see my Des­ patches No. 138 of the 2d August, 1842, and No. 1 of the lst Janu­ ary, 1843). Mr. Busby ceased to receive pay on the 31st August, 1842; and, as I heard nothing from him from that day until the 4th Decem­ ber, 1843, I concluded he did not intend to make any demands on the Government, it being understood that he did not wish to remove from Bathurst, where he enjoyed a considerable private practice. Compensation In December last, I received, however, from him a letter, of claimed by which I enclose a Copy, accompanied by a letter dated the 30th G. Busby. November, 1843 (of which I also enclose a Copy) which Mr. Busby had addressed to Mr. Thompson, the late Head of the Medical Department; and, having referred these letters for Mr. Thompson's report, I received from that Officer the letter, of which a Copy is further enclosed. Very shortly after the receipt of this Report, and before I had done anything on it, the present Inspector of Hospitals (Dr. Dawson) arrived to relieve Mr. Thompson; and, having referred the case to him, I received from him the Report, of which a copy is also enclosed. Report on On these several documents, I think it right to remark that claim. Mr. Busby appears to have declined promotion to the rank of Surgeon in the year 1837, because he did not wish to quit Bathurst; and I further understand that he would at present rather resign unconditionally than remove from that place. Mr. Busby, moreover, though no longer in the regular employ­ ment of Government, will continue to receive some small emolu­ ment for occasional services rendered to Convicts, as well as to a Military Detachment and the Police; and he also retains charge GIPPS TO STANLEY. 579 of his former Hospital, though it is now converted into an Estab- 1844. lishment, analogous to a County Hospital in England. 8 May' Under such circumstances, I feel that I can scarcely recom- Gratuity mend the allowance of half pay to Mr. Busby, though probably a^ulby/™ a gratuity of a year's Salary might not be objected to. Owing to the reduction in the Convict Establishments, there is little probability of Mr. Busby's services being again required by Government; and I have ascertained from Sir Eardley Wilmot that there is no chance of a vacancy for him in Van Diemen's Land. I should perhaps remark in justice to Mr. Busby that, though the Government heard nothing from him between the 31st August, .1842, and the 4th December, 1843, he appears during the interval to have been in correspondence with the Head of the Medical Department. I have further to report that I have sanctioned an allowance Allowance for of £20 a year to Mr. Busby for Medical attendance on the Female temaiefecto™ Factory at Bathurst, and for such other occasional attendance and convicts as may be necessary on Convicts entitled to Medical assistance at the expense of the Government. I have long desired to reduce the Establishment, called or rather miscalled the Female Factory at Bathurst, but have found it impossible to do so. Bathurst is the centre of a very extensive district beyond the Blue Mountains, in which there are numer­ ous Female Convicts, as well holding Tickets of Leave as in As­ signed Service; and, if there were no place into which to receive them when they forfeit their Tickets, or are discharged from As­ signed Service (as they frequently are in a state of pregnancy), it would be necessary to send them to Parramatta, distant above 100 Miles, over a Mountainous and very difficult road. I would in conclusion suggest that the case of Mr. Busby should not be disposed of without a reference to that of Mr. Anderson, See Despatches dated and numbered as in the Margin.'"' Mr. Busby's age is 46; and he is, I believe, in the enjoyment of good health. I have, &c, GEO. GIPPS. [Enclosure No. 1.] THE Memorial of George Busby, Memorial of To the Right Honorable Lord Stanley.

Watson† The landmark decision in the United States regarding Indian land rights is Johnson v. McIntosh, an 1823 decision authored by Chief Jus- tice John Marshall. The Supreme Court in Johnson unequivocally re- jected the most favorable view of indigenous land rights—that the native inhabitants own the land they occupy and are free to retain or sell their property.1 Yet the Court did not adopt the least favorable view of Indian land rights either—that the tribes of America are trespassers without ownership or possessory rights. Instead, Marshall endorsed an interme- diate position. On one hand, he declared the Indian nations “to be the rightful occupants of the soil, with a legal as well as just claim to retain possession of it, and to use it according to their own discretion .

    1 Plunkett's Disappointment

    [2006] ANZLH E-Journal PLUNKETT’S DISAPPOINTMENT: THE REVELANCE OF CATHOLICISM TO A JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT TO THE NEW SOUTH WALES BENCH IN THE 1840s Tony Earls* Prior to the introduction of responsible government in 1856, New South Wales had three Chief Justices, successively; Forbes, Dowling and Stephen. The Crown appointed Forbes on the advice of the Colonial Office in London. With the appointments of Dowling and Stephen, the Colonial Office looked to the advice of the Governor of New South Wales to make an appointment from within the local legal profession. Although William Burton challenged Dowling’s claim to succeed Forbes on a question of seniority, it was the events that led up to the appointment of Stephen, involving two highly credentialed and ambitious candidates, that first tested substantial questions as to rights of precedence and other factors relevant to the appointment. It need hardly be said that the appointment was, and is, a prestigious and important one. However, in order to consider the implications of an appointment, it is useful to attempt to explain why. For the individual, it is the pinnacle of any legal career, affording status and power in their own time and posterity thereafter. In the first half of the nineteenth century this was particularly true when it came to questions of social and governmental rank.1 Amongst other things, a Chief Justice might expect a knighthood following appointment as Chief Justice. As a force in society, the primary influence of a Chief Justice relates not only to the judgement of major cases, but to the administration of the courts, the keystone of the legal system.

    NORFOLK ISLAND. BY CAPTAIN MAOONOtJIIIE, R.N., K.ll., LATE SUPERINTENDENT. “Captain Maconochie did more for the reformation of these unhappy wretches than the most sanguine practical mind could beforehand have ventured even to hope. My knowledge of the convict’s character warrants my saying expressly, that his views offer the only approximation that has ever yet been made to a correct penal • theory, &c.”—.Sejglers and Convicts, or Recollections of Six(een Years in Australia, pp. 412—13. LONDON: JOHN OLLIVIER, ~9, PALL MALL. 1848. 0 IN a recent debate in the house of Commons it was assumed several Ilonourable Members, that the System of Convict Manag~ ment maintained on Norfolk Island between the years 1840 and 184I~ failed, and that the recent excesses there prove this. It seems desir~ able, therefore, to let it be seen with some distinctness at once wht~ that system svas, wh~ttwere its immediate results, and that the exeess~ in question arose entirely subsequent to its discontinuance. Inferenc~ on the subject will be thus made more precise ;—and to attain this, nt~, to indulge in egotistical feeling, is the object of the annexed 1MIrtati~ —A. M. NORFOLK ISLAND. TIlE condition of our Penal Settlement on Norfolk Island was brought under the particular attention of the Transportation Committee of the House of Commons in 1837-8. It was shown that very undue seventies were inflicted in it, and that the ne- ~essary result, extensive demoralization among the men, had ensued. In the strong language cited by one of the witnesses, the Rev. Dr. IJilathorne, as having been addressed to him by an unhappy victim of the system on the Island itself, “When a prisoner was sent to Norfolk Island he lost the heart of a man, and got that of a beast instead.” About the same time, a plan of managing prisoners suggested by me in Van Dieman’s Land in 1837 was also brou~htunder the notice of the committee, and received its qualifle~?approba- tion.

Batman encouraged the Aborigines he met there to sign a deed for the transfer of 600,000 acres of land in exchange for a yearly supply of blankets, knives, looking glasses, clothing and flour. This was the Batman treaty. Soon after, as other ships brought settlers in vast numbers, the yearly tribute to the local tribes was forgotten and the settlement of a permanent white population began to take root.1 In 1836 this tiny village that was to one day become Melbourne had a population of only 166.2 Professor Blainey described the place as ‘a hillbilly town’. That year the Governor in Sydney authorised a larger settlement in the Port Phillip district, but it remained part of the colony of New South Wales and was 1 Carroll, Brian, Melbourne, An Illustrated History (Lansdowne Press, 1972), 12-16. 2 The Supreme Court of Victoria, A Short Account of the Law Court and the Library (The Hawthorn Press, 1976, Melbourne), 3. 1 largely governed by the Sydney administration.

Bob is one of the great figures of Australian cultural history, at different times working as a leading anthropologist, a central figure in the study of indigenous art, a museum director and a driving force behind many of the international blockbuster art shows to travel to Australia. His early training as an anthropologist saw him doing fieldwork in remote Australia, and led to him becoming a museum curator in the 1960s and 70s. He was the founding director of the Australia Council’s Aboriginal Arts Board, perhaps most famous for its support of the Papunya Tula artists. He was the Director of the Museum of Victoria from 1984-90, the founding chairman of the National Museum of Australia and the founding chairman of the National Portrait Gallery. He has also for many years been the chief executive of Art Exhibitions Australia which brought to Australia significant exhibitions, including the Entombed Warriors from China (1982), Claude Monet (1985), Van Gogh (1993) and Rembrandt (1997). Bob is an ardent bibliophile, and his Library reflects the discerning taste of a knowledgeable and educated collector. Some books are of such rarity that they are known in only a handful of copies, and his collection embraces early Australian printing, early works on the Australian Aborigines, the major early voyage accounts, as well as works on early settlement and inland exploration.

The new Settler would scarcely, I should conceive, consent to pay Eent for Land, which he means ultimately to purchase, when, if it were to be granted to him, he would be free of Quit Eent for a certain number of years, and may purchase after all if he desire it.
