They are simple, durable, and not liable to derangement . They sew from ordinary reels, and no re- winding of the thread is necessary . They sew with equal facility all fabrics, the most delicate and the heaviest , and with all kinds of thread, silk , cotton, or linen; their seam is so strong and elastic that 'it never breaks even on the bias . They fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation . Their seam, though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm , and neither runs or ravels in wear . Their seam is plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty after washing better than any other . Their seam can be removed in altering garments , after proper instruction, without picking or cutting them . Watching and varying the tensions upon the threads , necessary in other machines , is unnecessary in these. The tensions being once adjusted on the Grover & Baker elastic-stitch machine , any amount ' of sewing may be done without change. They make beautiful embroidery , and are the only machines that both embroider and sew perfectly. Grover& Baker Shuttle or Lock-StitchMachines, Which are comparatively new, combine the good points of former shuttle machines with most important improvements , making them the most simple , perfect, efficient, and durable shuttle or " lock-stitch " machines yet introduced. Hence the universal favour and success of the machines wherever known. For all descriptions of cloth or leather work they have no equal. The Highest Premiums Over all competitors , both for machines and machine-work, were taken by the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine Company , in 1863 and 1864, at 31 State and County Exhibitions , in America , where all the other leading machines were placed in competition Upwards of 100,000 of these Machines are in use in all parts of the World.

GENTLEMEN,We would beg to again draw your attention to the following important facts, having reference to our SOLUBLE SHEEP -DIPPING COMPOSITION. First : We introduced it in the end of December, 1864, only twenty-seven months ago, since which time the sale has gone on steadily increasing, we having sold since then over one hundred and twenty tons, or sufficient to dip four million eight hundred thousand sheep ; we believe that this fact alone ought to stamp its value.

    8th April 2020 The Hon. Mr Tim Pallas, MP Treasurer of Victoria Level 4, 1 Treasury Place East Melbourne, VIC 3002 Dear Mr Pallas, COVID-19 crisis calls for the abolition of payroll tax We write to you on behalf of the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA), the peak industry body for Australia’s electrical and communications contracting industry, which employs more than 165,000 workers and delivers an annual turnover in excess of $23 billion. NECA represents the best interests of over 5,200 electrical contracting businesses across all Australian States and Territories. NECA members make an integral contribution to Australia’s economy. Our members are essential from any defining aspect, including connecting hospitals, communities, schools, businesses and infrastructure across the country. From installing solar infrastructure and batteries for households, to connecting solar farms to managing the grid and undertaking millions of hours of electrical work on major infrastructure. The current COVID-19 crisis is having an unprecedent and detrimental effect upon the economy and employment in Victoria. An event which NECA acknowledges is out of the control of Government. However, certain things can be done to ensure the industry remains strong and well positioned post COVID-19. NECA and our members are keen to ensure that we work proactively with Government to restore the economic and employment levels in Victoria. In doing so, employment barriers such as payroll tax must be removed – a mechanism which is within the control of Government. NECA, as well as other industry bodies, are firmly of the view that any form of payroll tax is both counter-intuitive and counter-productive.

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.

Apart from any use permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted by any means or process whatsoever without prior written permission. ISBN 0 7311 5984 5 Front endpaper: Audit Office staff, 1907. Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project.

  • Imprisonment for Debt in Colonia Victoria, 1857–90
    ‘CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE’:1 IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT IN COLONIAL VICTORIA, 1857–90 JODIE B OYD, * IAN RAMSAY† AND PAUL ALI‡ The reintroduction in 1857 of imprisonment for debt in colonial Victoria flew in the face of international momentum for its abolition. In its criminalisation of debt and poverty, the Fellows Act 1857 (Vic) (21 Vict, No 29) also defied the rapid advancement of democratic and egalitarian principles in the fledgling colony. Frequently referred to as ‘gross class legislation’, the law was used unabashedly to target poor small debtors, leaving ‘mercantile men’ with significant debt untroubled by the prospect of a debtors’ gaol. Despite consistent and broad opposition to the Fellows Act 1857 (Vic) (21 Vict, No 29), its advocates resisted repeated attempts to abolish or meaningfully amend it. It is argued here that the law, and its survival against the ‘spirit of the age’, can be understood as part of a broader story of conservative resistance to the democratic innovations that threatened the power of the Victorian mercantilist establishment. CONTENTS I Introduction .............................................................................................................. 738 II ‘Enacted by a Tradesman’s Parliament’ ................................................................. 746 A Establishing Imprisonment for Debt Prior to Universal Manhood Suffrage ....................................................................................... 747 B ‘The Barbarism of Our Law of Imprisonment for Debt Is Only Surpassed
