Fragmented text outlines a historical discussion on Ireland and England trade relations during the eighteenth century, mentioning Lord North, Britain’s colonies, and colonial trade policies. The excerpt references wool and glass manufacture, mercantile restrictions, and debates over open or restrained trade with the colonies.
A Melbourne commission hears sweeping allegations of graft and bribery within the Victoria Police Office. Witnesses including Serjeant Daly and Detective Rowdell accuse senior officers of corruption and misused funds, while calls are made to overhaul the service and purge dishonesty from top to bottom.
