Adelaide, Government Printer, 1874.

Foolscap folio, 2 pages.

Drop-title; four small holes in the left-hand margin where stab-sewn when bound (now disbound); leading edge lightly chipped and sunned, with several tiny tears; a very good copy.

South Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 232 of 1874. With all due respect, the 231 signatories - all residents of the Northern Territory - have had enough: "That while engaged in a struggle of no ordinary magnitude, with the object of forming a colony in and developing the resources of this portion of the Province, your petitioners have had and still have to encounter, in addition to the natural obstacles arising from climate and remoteness from civilization, the still greater obstacle occasioned by the maladministration of the government of this portion of the Province". The details follow.
