Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839
Convict Labour and Colonial Society in the Campbell Town Police District: 1820-1839. Margaret C. Dillon B.A. (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) University of Tasmania April 2008 I confirm that this thesis is entirely my own work and contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis.

Dillon -iii- Abstract This thesis examines the lives of the convict workers who constituted the primary work force in the Campbell Town district in Van Diemen’s Land during the assignment period but focuses particularly on the 1830s. Over 1000 assigned men and women, ganged government convicts, convict police and ticket holders became the district’s unfree working class. Although studies have been completed on each of the groups separately, especially female convicts and ganged convicts, no holistic studies have investigated how convicts were integrated into a district as its multi-layered working class and the ways this affected their working and leisure lives and their interactions with their employers. Research has paid particular attention to the Lower Court records for 1835 to extract both quantitative data about the management of different groups of convicts, and also to provide more specific narratives about aspects of their work and leisure. -

Marsupial' Freshwater

On this long isolated continent, the naming of several monotypic genera and a plethora of species have clouded both the phylogenetical and biogeographical relation- ships with other thiarids, in particular in Southeast Asia, thus hampering insight into the evolution of Australian taxa and their natural history. Based on own collections during five expeditions to various regions in Australia between 2002 and 2007, the study of rele- vant type material and the comparison with (mostly shell) material from major Australian museum collections, we describe and document here the morphology (of adults and juve- niles) and radulae of all relevant thiarid taxa, discussing the taxonomical implications and nomenclatural consequences. Presenting comprehensive compilations of the occurrences for all Australian thiarid species, we document their geographical distribution (based on over 900 records) with references ranging from continent-wide to drainage-based pat- terns. We morphologically identify a total of eleven distinct species (also corroborated as distinct clades by molecular genetic data, to be reported elsewhere), of which six species are endemic to Australia, viz. -

PROGRESS REPORT of the Commissioners .appointed to enqy,iPe into andreport'on the Annual Value of Property in the various Districts of the Colony in accorll,a'llce with the provisions of the Property Valuation Acts now in force. - Hobart Town, ,27t!J, July, 1875. Srn, . HAVING completed our inspection of the Thirteen Districts _epumerated below, :viz. Glenorchy, Westbury, Oatlands, New Norfolk, Longford, Brighton, Hamilton, Evandale, Green Ponds, Fingal, Campbell Town, Deloraine, Ross, we have the honor to submit to you the following Report thereon. )Ve have end'eavoU:red as much as possible to condense this Report by classing together those districts possessing the same distinctive characters. Most of the districts unite to a -large extent the pastoral and agricultt1ral ch;ip~cter; indeed, none are wholly agTicultural, the feeding of stock being almost inseparable from agricultural pursuits. As a general ru_le, w_e fi:pd that the annual :value, as 'shown by the Assessment Rolls at present · in existence, has not been uniformly fixed, as required by the Property Valuation Acts, 21 st Victoria, No. 19, Sec. 10, and 34th Victoria, No. 9, Sec. 2. · We have therefore compiled Valuation Rolls for the different districts on the basis of the annual rent which a tenant .might reasonably be expee:ted to .pay for each property, which we append hereto. -
