AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The Empire reproduces a column from the pages of an Irish national paper. The column addresses moves by the colonial government in New South Wales to introduce a Treason Felony Act following the attempted assassination of H. R. H. Prince Alfred in March 1868. Believing the proposed legislation to be ill-considered, the column concludes, 'they have rushed through their Legislature ... a Treason Felony Bill so wildly and irrationally tyrannical in its provisions that not a vestige of public liberty can be said to exist in the country where it is law'.
