Sir, Colonial Land and Emig. Office, 19th August, 1848. We have the honor to report for Earl Grey's information that, in consequence of our communication sanctioned by his Lord­ ship with the Honble. F. Scott, and other gentlemen associated with GREY TO FITZ ROY. 577 him, for promoting Colonization in the Australian Colonies, we 1848. have drawn up some rules setting forth the terms upon which, 3CKAug. henceforth until further notice, persons now ineligible for free Ruiesre passages may be assisted to emigrate out of Colonial Funds; we passages for enclose a copy of these Rules, and the form of Application which assisted every person desirous of availing himself of their provisions will "nm'srants. he required to fill up and return to this Office, accompanied by certain certificates especially with reference to his moral char­ acter and phyical ability. It is unnecessary that we should explain in detail these Regula-. tions; but it may perhaps be convenient if we draw attention to Classification the distinction we make in classifying these Applicants under the ^*?^eand two systems of free and assisted Emigration. The Rules relating immigrants. to the former, of which we also enclose a copy, are framed ex­ pressly with reference to the wants of the Colonists, and are intended to supply them with the description of labour, for which there appears to be the greatest demand. Our selections, therefore, of Emigrants seeking free passages are limited to the classes men­ tioned in the first Article of these Rules. But there may be many persons disqualified by their previous Trade or calling for free pas­ sages, whose emigration nevertheless would be mutually advan­ tageous to themselves and the Importing Colony, though less so to the latter than the free Emigrant. We allude especially to Me­ chanics who, on account of their greater intelligence, are likely to become useful Settlers after adapting themselves to their new Life, provided they are properly cautioned that they are not to expect to receive Mechanics' Wages, and that they must be satisfied with the remuneration given to ordinary laborers in the Bush. But, as this class, at any rate on first arrival, will not be so useful as the Agricultural Laborer, it is only fair to the Colony that the former should, contribute towards the cost of his conveyance. For the rate of contribution we would beg to refer to the Rules. Rate of It is the same Lord Grey agreed to for the Colonization Society, contribution. with a slight and unimportant alteration respecting children, adopted upon a mutual understanding between the Society and this Board. Again it is desirable that families, ineligible for free pas­ sages on account of the number of children, should find establish a Government, by which they can without difficulty be conveyed to these distant Colonies, provided they can themselves make the requisite payment, or obtain it by the assistance of friends, Parishes, or the Colonization Society. And here we may observe that we do not propose to make any distinction in favor of the Society, although we are acting in concert with that Body and have SER. I. VOL.

  • The Rifle Club Movement and Australian Defence 1860-1941
    The Rifle Club Movement and Australian Defence 1860-1941 Andrew Kilsby A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences February 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the rifle club movement and its relationship with Australian defence to 1941. It looks at the origins and evolution of the rifle clubs and associations within the context of defence developments. It analyses their leadership, structure, levels of Government and Defence support, motivations and activities, focusing on the peak bodies. The primary question addressed is: why the rifle club movement, despite its strong association with military rifle shooting, failed to realise its potential as an active military reserve, leading it to be by-passed by the military as an effective force in two world wars? In the 19th century, what became known as the rifle club movement evolved alongside defence developments in the Australian colonies. Rifle associations were formed to support the Volunteers and later Militia forces, with the first ‘national’ rifle association formed in 1888. Defence authorities came to see rifle clubs, especially the popular civilian rifle clubs, as a cheap defence asset, and demanded more control in return for ammunition grants, free rail travel and use of rifle ranges. At the same time, civilian rifle clubs grew in influence within their associations and their members resisted military control. An essential contradiction developed. The military wanted rifle clubs to conduct shooting ‘under service conditions’, which included drill; the rifle clubs preferred their traditional target shooting for money prizes.

THE OLD EDITORS. Jpl| EORGE ARDEN, the Co-Proprietor and Editor of the Gazette, was an accomplished and florid writer, not only as a journalist, but as a pamphleteer. The literary power of which he was capable was unballasted by experience, and, there was no mental brake to keep him within bounds. He had for a time the sole newspaper at his command; but he was absorbed by an inordinate self-sufficiency, and lacked perseverance. When newspapers were small, and their success mainly depended on the active personal supervision of the editor, Arden, who understood little of, and cared less for, journalistic minutice, was satisfied when he supplied an elaborate "leader." He was also much given to libelling, and falling into trouble thereby. In 1839, he was convicted and fined; in 1841, he was committed for trial, but the prosecution was abandoned; in 1843, he was again convicted of libel in connection with the first Corporation selections, and his brilliant and splenetic tirades against the first Resident Judge (Willis), though powerful agents in the ultimate un-benching of the official, proved the ruin of the writer.

  • I Mark Peart Sodomy Re/Verse
    i Mark Peart Sodomy Re/verse : Reading and re-writing the sodomitical archive on nineteenth century New South Wales Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of English The University of Sydney Supervised by: Associate Professor Kate Lilley A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Year of Award: 2019 Abstract: In “Queer Spectrality” Carla Freccero writes that “queer historicism harbors within itself not only the pleasure, but also the pain, a traumatic pain whose ethical insistence is to ‘live to tell.’” Historical trauma, she argues, appears in the form of the unresolved spectres, as the troubled past made present by their unresolved demands to be made right, in the returners’ demands to be mourned and to impel the process to an as yet achieved historical justice. This thesis is haunted: it is haunted by the minor sodomitical figures of nineteenth century New South Wales who sound relentlessly the conditions of the injustice they experienced, and who speak in the name of the “queer.” In this way I do not so much, or only, look back to history, but I encounter a history that looks back towards my present. If the conditions of state persecution and disciplinary regulation under sodomy laws and general antisodomy rhetoric in this context made “queer” lives less liveable, it is the force of their sodomitical queerness – gender transgressors, racial “abominations,” lumpen class rogues, criminal recidivists, the imprisoned (convict) poor and petty offenders – that speaks back to the still limited, intolerable and in too many cases unliveable conditions of present heteronormative hegemonies.
