  • The Trial and Execution of Elizabeth Woolcock in South Australia in 1873
    ‘INNOCENT VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE’ OR ‘A VERY DEVIL INCARNATE’? THE TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF ELIZABETH WOOLCOCK IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA IN 1873 DAVID PLATER, JOANNA DUNCAN † AND SUE MILNE This article considers the trial and execution of Elizabeth Woolcock in 1873 for the alleged murder of her husband by poison. In examining the evidence adduced against her, notably the inconclusive scientific evidence, it is argued that Elizabeth was not the callous murderer presented by the prosecution but an ‘innocent victim of circumstance’ who was convicted and condemned to death, as much upon speculation and stereotype, as upon the tenuous strength of the prosecution case. Both Elizabeth’s trial and her eventual fate can be viewed in a wider context and illustrate the often polarised perception and treatment of female capital offenders during this period. Elizabeth’s already heinous crime in murdering her husband, further aggravated through her use of poison, and her purported liaison with another man, combined to brand her as ‘a devil incarnate’ and served to forfeit any claims to mercy on her behalf. Despite the real doubts as to her guilt and the strong mitigating factors that existed in her favour, Elizabeth Woolcock was destined to be the only woman in South Australia to ever suffer ‘the ultimate penalty of the law’. † David Plater BA/LLB, LLM, PhD, School of Law, University of South Australia; Honorary Research Fellow, University of Tasmania; Senior Legal Officer, State Attorney-General’s Department, Adelaide.

  • Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania
    ; 97 IHE FREiNCH IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND, AND THE FIRST SETTLEMENT AT THE DERWENT. BY JAMES B. WALKER. Prefatory Note. As the subject of the present Paper may appear to be scarcely within the scope of the objects of the Royal Society, it seems proper to state briefly the occasion of its being written and submitted to the consideration of the Fellows. Some two years ago, the Tasmanian Government—of which the Hon. James Wilson Agnew, Honorary Secretary of the Royal Society, was Premier—following the good example set by the Governments of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Now Zealand, directed search to be made iu the English State Record Office for papers relating to the settlement and early history of this Colony. The idea originated in a suggestion from Mr. James Bonwick, F.R.G.S., the well-known writer on the Tasmanian Aborigines, who had been employed for years on similar work for various Colonial Governments, and to him the task was entrusted by Dr. Agnew. Mr. Bonwick searched, not only the Record Office, but the papers of the Admiralty, the Foreign Office, the Privy Council, and the British Museuni, and discovered and co|)ied a large mass of docunu'nts rohiting to the oarly days of Tasmania. in the early jiart of this year, these coj)ics, extending over some (J4() foolscap pages, were received in Ilobart, and the ))resent Premier —the Hon. Philip Oakley Fysh—obligingly allowed me to jioruse them. I found them to be of great interest. They threw (piite a new light on the causes which led to the first occupation of this Islaiul ; gave a complete history of Bowen's first settlement at Risdon Cove and supplied materials for other hitherto unwritten — 98 FRENCH IN VAN DIEMEN's LAND.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

The colour change happens over a few days in late November and early December and Depth: Maximum depth of 72m metres continues to deepen during summer. There are many theories about the famous colour Shoreline: Approximately 3.5km kilometres change of the lake, from grey in winter to vivid blue in summer – the following explanation Surface area: Approximately 70ha 59 hectares summarises the general understanding from recent research.

The first members of his family to come to Van Diemen’s Land were Frederick Lewis von Stieglitz and two of his brothers who arrived in 1829. Henry Lewis, another brother, and the father of John Charles and grandfather of Karl, arrived the following year. John Charles von Stieglitz, after qualifying as a surveyor in Tasmania, moved to Northern Queensland in 1868, where he worked as a surveyor with the Queensland Government, later acquiring properties near Townsville. In 1883, at Townsville he married Mary Mackenzie, who died in 1883. Later he went to England where he married Lillian Stead in London in 1886. On his return to Tasmania he purchased “Andora”, Evandale: the impressive house on the property was built for him in 1888. He was the MHA for Evandale from 1891 to 1903. Karl von Stieglitz visited England with his father during 1913-1914. After his father’s death in 1916, he took possession of “Andora”. He enlisted in the First World War in 1916, but after nearly a year in the AIF (AMC branch) was unable to proceed overseas due to rheumatic fever.

After six turbulent years, the disCovery of two large deposits of copper at Kapunda (1843/1844) and Burra (1844/1845) renewed the Colony’s eConomic prospeCts. Over the 1845-1850 period, SA supplied 8-9 perCent of the world’s Copper production. Immigration to SA from Britain soared, with the colony’s population more than tripling between 1844 and 1851. We augment the Beine et al. (2015) model of an eConomy with a booming resource seCtor to inCorporate endogenous immigration, and use its comparative statics to frame our empiriCal investigation of the boom’s effects on the export of other traded goods and worker living standards. Using newly developed SA wage and priCe series for this period, we find modest increases in SA living standards, inCreases in the export of wool and wheat, and a larger share of the labor forCe working in the non-traded goods seCtor. Finally, we conclude that the decision by Governor Grey to forCe broad ownership of the “monster” Burra mine and the use of rents from the booming seCtor to subsidize immigration helped SA avoid the Corruption and rent-seeking assoCiated with other resourCe booms.
