The Freeman's Journal comments wryly on the request by the British Secretary for the Colonies, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, that the New South Wales legislature 'copy into the statute book that admirable enactment known at home as the Treason Felony Bill'. The writer asserts: 'If Australians wear English chains contentedly, it is because they are exceedingly light, they fit loosely, do not in the slightest impede our freedom and are a bond between our weakness and the strength of the mother country'. Any change will be for ill, not good.
