London: George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode 1843. Printed bifolium 109-111 last blank armorial letterhead fine. An important Act defining the rights of convicts to property earned through their own labour. The penal system in Australia had long incorporated the Ticket-of-Leave system wherein convicts were granted the right to work for wages and so 'employ themselves for their own benefit'. The Act begins by limiting the powers of the Governor or Lieutenant-Governor as in the case of Van Diemen's Land to issue absolute or conditional pardons to transported felons. Remission of any sentence of transportation must henceforth be submitted to the Secretary of State for approval on behalf of the Crown. This legislation significantly reduced the power and autonomy of the Governor as final and independent arbiter of the destiny of convicts under his control. The third clause consolidates the law regarding the private property of convicts. Given that Ticket-of-Leave holders can acquire personal property it is to be protected under the full power of the law 'notwithstanding his or her Conviction of Felony'. Thus the inalienable law of private property is formally extended to convicts who have legally acquired it. Interestingly this clause defends the right of convicts in protecting their property if challenged in court on the basis of their past felonies. Notwithstanding the system remains contingent upon good behaviour for if the Ticket-of-Leave is revoked 'all property so acquired by any such Felon shall vest absolutely in Her Majesty and shall be disposed of at the discretion of the Governor or Lieutenant Governor.' It is significant that property so defined in the Act excludes land aside from a lease or tenancy agreement. Ownership of land was prohibited until any convict had received their pardon.

London: George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode 1838. Folio sheet pp. 429-430 armorial letterhead fine. A parliamentary Act to continue previous legislation regarding the legal management of the Australian colonies including administration of convict affairs. Such extension acts were needed to continue legislation relating to convict policy. George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode unknown
London: George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode 1837. Printed bifolium pp. 689-692 armorial letterhead fine. An Act to repeal previous legislation allowing magistrates to sentence felons found guilty of housebreaking with transportation for life. This Act of 1837 limits the duration of transportation to no more than 15 years and no less than ten. By imposing the limit of ten years the minimum sentence was increased by three years while simultaneously this offence was no longer deemed worthy of transportation for life. Great Britain in the 1830's experienced a period of increasing severity in the punishment of crime and the conditions of convict life in Australia became more strenuous as a deterrent to felons back home. This Act stipulates that felons are to be imprisoned for between one to three years in a British prison before transportation with the option of hard labour during this time at the discretion of the presiding magistrate. Furthermore the range of crimes to be punished in like manner to housebreaking is here expanded; with larceny in shops injuring cattle destroying hop farms and stealing cloth during drying and manufacture now to be punished with the maximum sentence of transportation for 15 years. Nonetheless some clemency emerges through these hard times. The fifth clause of this Act removes the right of gaolers to keep inmates in indefinite solitary confinement. Such punishment so designed to break the spirit of the convict could result in intractable insanity. Accordingly the Act states that prisoners are not to be kept in solitary cells for more than one month at a time and not for more than three months out of any one year. George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode unknown
London: George Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1830. Folio pp. 385-390 armorial letterhead fine. This Act contains a variety of new laws relating to the Australian colonies with special reference to the ongoing problem of liquor smuggling in convict establishments. The sixth clause of the act expressly forbid the provision of liquor and fermented products of any description to felons convicted of transportation. It is clearly aimed at those found guilty of smuggling liquor to convict establishments and places of confinement. The trade in sly grog had been lucrative from the earliest days of the colony and in the lead up to the so called 'Rum Rebellion' under Governor Bligh officers of the New South Wales Corps were implicated in the trade. This act tightens up existing prohibitions and stipulates that those suspected of provisioning liquor to convicts can be detained in custody for up to three months unless able to pay an immediate surety of between 10 and 20 pounds. Other clauses empower the Governor of New South Wales to transfer convicts ambiguously charged with 'disorderly conduct' to other colonies namely Van Diemen's Land. Presumably this was enacted to break up groups suspected of sedition and troublemaking. Likewise the Act allows the Governor to take felons intended for other destinations 'if he shall deem it expedient' and also clarifies legal confusions arising from the delivery of convicts to the wrong location by transportation contractors.

London: George Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1827. Folio pp. 621-627 last blank armorial letterhead fine. An Act extending the use of transportation as a form of punishment in the army during periods of grievous unrest and mutiny. With regards to the transportation of felons this Act gives the Secretary at War or his deputy the same powers as the Commander in Chief of the Kings armies in Great Britain and Ireland. The Act was generated to avoid confusion of jurisdiction in the event of there being no acting Commander in Chief. By assuming the powers in this Act the Secretary at War can notify the king of sentences of transportation passed and reciprocally he is empowered to inform mutineers charged with death of the Royal pardon. This implies that execution was demoted to transportation as was often the case. George Eyre and Andrew Strahan unknown

London: George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode 1840. Printed bifolium pp. 465-467 misnumbered 468 armorial letterhead fine. An important Act for the future subdivision of New South Wales into separate colonies namely Victoria in 1851 and Queensland in 1859. The Act describes the possible need for separation given the 'great extent' of New South Wales as the entire eastern portion of the Australian continent. Governing this vast area from Sydney posed serious problems of communication and effective administration and discontent with the existing system was becoming increasingly obvious by the time this Act was passed in 1840. This Act allows Queen Victoria to appoint Legislative Councils for the new colonies who may draft new laws subject to approval before parliament in Britain. This provision was to be especially important in the case of Victoria where separation from New South Wales was soon followed by the gold-rushes. Here began a period of unprecedented population growth and economic change wherein political self determination was of great importance. George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode unknown
