Untitled, single work column

The writer for the Australian argues that, since the 'Statement of the Colonial Fund ... contained in the Supplemental Sheet of the Hobart Town Gazette of May the 20th, 1825 states: 'Cash received from Mr Bent being for the like sum advanced to him on Loan by Government, for the Purchase of a Press', it does not appear to us that a very clear case of ownership to the Title of the Paper can be substantiated by them [i.e. the government]'.

(The issue of title ownership arose when a new newspaper, under the name of the Hobart Town Gazette, began publication in June 1825.)
