Aborigines and Colonial Law in English Rule

A historical critique argues British law cannot be imposed on savage lands. It calls for a simple, universal code balancing colonists and natives, emphasizing natural justice, deterring punishments, and avoiding harsh spectacles. It cites the Maria murders case to illustrate legal conflicts and urges practical, humane governance.

Gawler defense of colonial war powers over aborigines

In a supplementary publication the South Australian Record cites Governor Gawler’s remarks justifying summary action against Aboriginal murderers linked to the Maria brigantine disaster. He argues British law cannot fully apply to savages, urges war powers for colonial safety, and defends martial measure to protect settlers and the colony from tribal hostilities.
