8. A little more on the 1824 upgrading of New South Wales's colonial status
In this issue of Notes from about this time last year I quoted an interesting item from the "on this day" section of the Sydney Daily Telegraph's history page. This year's version of that item gave a little bit more information:
(The day of that upgrading was itself the anniversary of another event in British colonial history, as the second item before the 1824 one reported:

1784 The British government introduces a Bill to the House of Commons allowing it to resume transportation of criminals, with the destination unstated after the revolt of the American colonies but NSW in mind.Labels: colonialism

You might have noticed that I'd omitted labels from items 8 and 9. Those omissions were unintended, so I've just added the labels "colonialism" and "Ireland" to item 8 and item 9, respectively.
