EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic document is a page from the Proclamation of Governor Richard Bourke of New South Wales, issued in 1835. The proclamation was a stern warning to settlers who had been illegally occupying and exploiting Crown lands in the colony. The text, printed in two parts, unequivocally stated that any person found to have taken possession of Crown lands without proper authorization would be prosecuted and evicted. The 19th century in Australia was marked by an influx of settlers, who, driven by the lure of fertile lands and economic opportunities, often disregarded the laws and regulations set by the colonial authorities. The issue of land theft was a contentious one, leading to numerous disputes and tensions between the settlers and the government. Governor Bourke's Proclamation was a significant response to this problem. It reflected the colonial administration's determination to uphold the rule of law and protect the interests of the Crown. The document also underscored the importance of orderly and legal settlement, which was essential for the long-term development of the colony. The text of the Proclamation is written in formal, legal language, with clear instructions to the constabulary to enforce the law and ensure that the offenders were brought to justice. The document is a testament to the challenges faced by the colonial authorities in managing the settlement process and maintaining order in the new land. This print is an important historical record of the early colonial era in Australia and sheds light on the complex issues surrounding land ownership and the administration of justice in the colony during the 19th century.
