Drought, fodder storage, and pastoral policy debate amid Australian drought
In a sprawling discussion, authorities and farmers debate storing fodder and water to weather recurring droughts. Mr Morris urges Canadian models of hay gathering, while warnings grow that widening stock increases disaster risk unless drought defenses are funded and expanded. A humorous aside contrasts gas meters with a dramatic tale of imperial chat during a roadside encounter with Emperor Joseph II. The piece ends by stressing future drought inevitability and the need for practical safeguards.

Settler Murdered by Natives Near Esperance Bay in WA
At Stokes Inlet near Esperance Bay a well-known settler was killed on March 24 by two natives named Tampin and Bowes after they had been robbing huts. The station owner Mr Moir pursued, and during the pursuit the natives attacked him mortally wounding him before a black servant Jacob fired from a distance. The body was left at the scene and later reports noted the killing. Separate case: a white man Hickey was convicted of murder for killing an aboriginal during a cutter voyage at King’s Sand and Locopede Islands, receiving five years penal servitude.
