Saltbush Bill, J.P.i"Beyond the land where Leichhardt went,", A. B. Paterson , single work poetry

After a long life of droving Saltbush Bill is appointed a J.P. But he is disappointed to find no mention of pay until he finds, in his contract, the line "A magistrate may charge a pound/For inquest on a fire." Bill and the local indigenous population collude to make good use of this provision.
