The Case Of A Wife Sold For A Note And Other Tales
A note for £17 is alleged to be repayment for a loan, but evidence shows it was the price of a wife sold to the defendant. He declined a monthly instalment plan, the plaintiff seized and resold the wife for £12, leaving the defendant claiming nonliability. Also recounted is a reported discovery of a skeleton in a hollow tree, suggesting possible accident or design and perhaps a bushranger’s fate. The piece then surveys labour shifts in the West due to rabbit skin profits, noting demand for unskilled labor and racial dynamics, with scenes of trapping, road-side families, and traders amid rising rabbiting.
