Open voting and ballot arguments split in colonial debate
A long commentary compares Cobbett and Sydney Smith on ballot open voting, arguing for or against open casting of votes and the risks of bribery and corruption. The piece questions the vitality of the ballot in a new country and hints at forthcoming census notes and constitutional concerns. It cites debates from The Gazette and Mining Journal and references figures like Walter Wigging and the Wixvist family.

Petition for repeal of land rent and council act
A petition from multiple signatories requests repeal of a council order imposing land rent, arguing the new charge should replace existing burthens. The document lists names including G.B. Baker and D. Power, notes sales and auctions, a fire on Captain Duff’s estate, a burglary at Warward Stirling’s Strathalbyn residence, and a horse named Traverser dying after an accident. It references Adelaide and Strathalbyn locations and a reward offer for restoration of stolen property.
