New Zealand Spectator, AND COOK’S STRAIT GUARDIAN. Wednesday, November 26, 1851.
The Hobart Town papers received by the Munford contain English news to the end of July, extracts from which will be found in our present number. The elections for the Legislative Council under the constitution conferred by the Australian Colonies Act had commenced in Van Diemen’s Land. A struggle had taken place between the party favourable to the continuance of transportation and the Antitransponation party, which ended in favor of the latter, who succeeded in returning two members to Council for Hobart Town. A feeling in favor of the continuance of transportation ‘however seemed to be gaining ground in Van Diemen’s Land from the necessity of being supplied with labour, in consequence of the numbers of the working classes who were leaving that Colony for the diggings in New South Wales and Port Phillip.
