SYDNEY: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED B Y JAMES TEGC At the Atlas Office and Book Repository, GEORGE STREET. RURAL CALENDAR. JANUARY.- In Australia the month of January holds the same position with respect to the seasons as the month of July in the northern hemisphere - but as the climate of New South Wales, fr om a variety of circumstances, is rendered peculiarly salubrious , the vegetable produce of the Colony comes quicker to matu rity than in colder count ri es : hence, January is generally the season for getting in the wheat harvest in New South Wales . As this crop is secured , the farmer will find it advantageous to glean his cleared fields by turning his swine stock into them . Should he happen to have broken up ground during the preceding spring for the purpose of sowing wheat on it for next year, it ought to be ploughed , either during harvest or imme- diately after- he ought also to clean his maize crop. Such land as is designedto rear a crop of turnips, should be reduced to a fine ri ch soil by pulve ri zation and an ample supply of manure, and the growing crop of Swedish turnips should be re-hoed: the potato ground should alsobe cleared, and the plants eartligd up. During this month, all the land where hops are cultivated,should be carefully weeded : and if the season be a moist one, the process of digging between the rows is to be practised , and whenever the " bind" appears luxuriant, the lower leaves and branches are to be removed , in order to allow the atmosphere to advance the pro cess of fructification .

They are intended to enhance the project. One of the general observations is ‘A History in Three Rivers’ is largely about wealthier or prominent males their roles and their activities. Professor Glenda Strachan has carried out detailed research on Dungog highlighting the role of women and children in poorer farming families. Because of the nature of the research it also gives insights into life for poorer rural men.

The Impact of the American Doctrine of Discovery on Native Land Rights in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand Blake A. 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 .

The prisoners were TIMOTHY BUCKLEY by whom the gun was fired; DAVID BROWN , and TIMOTHY FORD , all of whom had been in the Colony but six of seven months, and prisoners in the immediate employee of Government, and who unhappily had not renounced those propensities which sooner or later were to lead them to an unhappy end. The first witness called was THOMAS COSGROVE , brother of the deceased, whose testimony was conclusive of the fact. The witness stated, that his murdered brother was a district constable at the South Creek; and that he having seen, and believing the three prisoners at the bar to be bushrangers, requested him, the witness, to joining in pursuit of the suspected persons; all of which was readily compiled with, and a pursuit accordingly commenced. This was about one in the afternoon; the deceased went up to the three men (the prisoners at the bar), and found then in conversation with two young men who were brothers of the name of York, one of them a son in law of the deceased. The deceased called to the prisoners at the bar, declaring his willingness to point them out the road to the place they were enquiring for, namely the "Five mile Farm;" but appearing conscious that they were armed bushrangers, he hesitated not to rescue their giving themselves up to him, he being a district constable.

  • Norfolk Island
    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.

Running Head Left-hand: Samuel Furphy 4 Philanthropy or Patronage? Aboriginal Protectors in the Port Phillip District and Western Australia1 Samuel Furphy When the British Colonial Office established Aboriginal protectorates in the Australian colonies in the late 1830s, most of the key personnel were appointed in London. This reflected the view expressed in the 1837 report of the Select Committee on Aborigines that ‘the protection of the Aborigines should be considered a duty peculiarly belonging and appropriate to the executive government.’2 The report envisaged the protectorates as a form of metropolitan philanthropic oversight of British settler populations and their treatment of Indigenous peoples.3 At least initially, such a policy was pursued by the Colonial Office and the evangelical philanthropists who controlled it, but this approach was short-lived, with primary responsibility for Aboriginal policy (including the appointment of officers) shifting quickly from London to the colonies, arguably by the early 1840s, and certainly by the 1850s when several Australian colonies were granted responsible government.

  • Henry Dangar and the Myall Creek Massacre 1838
    “a very bad business”: Henry Dangar and the Myall Creek Massacre 1838 Lyndall Ryan University of Newcastle Introduction The Myall Creek massacre is widely regarded today as one of the most shameful incidents in Australian colonial history. Carried out by 12 armed, mounted stockmen on 10 June 1838 at Henry Dangar’s pastoral lease at Myall Creek in north western New South Wales, it is usually cited as an example of the lawlessness that prevailed on the colonial frontier at this time. The men rode into the station late on a Sunday afternoon, tied up and then deliberately shot and decapitated 28 unarmed Aboriginal men, women and children and afterwards burnt their bodies to escape detection. But, unlike other massacres in the region, this incident was reported to the authorities by Henry Dangar’s overseer. All but one of the perpetrators were apprehended, charged with the murder of an Aboriginal man and brought to trial, but there was insufficient evidence to secure a conviction. Seven of the perpetrators were then charged with the murder of an Aboriginal child and following another trial were convicted and then hanged. The lead up to the trials and the determination of the attorney general to secure a conviction created a sensation in the colony and placed the government under severe pressure for appearing to support Aboriginal people at the expense of the colonists. i While the massacre and the trials which followed have been the subject of considerable scholarly attention, little is known about Henry Dangar and his relations with his employees at Myall Creek.
