A portion of the Freeman's Journal's correspondent's report from Hartley concerns reports that were 'rife' in the Lithgow district 'to the effect that the entire staff of the Freeman's Journal – from the "gents of the editorial corpse" (as Artemus Ward would say) down to the "type-stickers" – had "dislocated", leaving behind them nothing but half-finished leaders, dusty piles of back numbers, and masses of seditious-looking "pie".' The correspondent decries 'such silly nonsense ... as the intervention of some over-zealous admirer of Martin's awe-inspiring (?) liberty-extinguishing Act of 1868', that is, the Treason Felony Act.
