Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Twelve Years Wanderings in the British Colonies, Vol. 2 of 2: From 1835 to 1847
From the foundation of the colony to 1825, the island was a dependency of the superior government of Sydney. This weighed heavily on the inhabitants, as their actions at law, above 50, had to be submitted to the courts at Sydney, and all prisoners accused of grave offences were forwarded there for trial, Whither the prosecutors had to proceed, to the serious loss of their time, and injury of their interests at home.
