The 'Rules and Regulations' relating to everything from land assigned to convicts, county boundaries to discharged soldiers, ports and quarantine. All arel covered and make for interesting reading.
Parliamentarians, coroners, barristers, attorneys, surveyor-generals, surgeons, police, ministers of religion, schools and colleges, banks and insurance companies, auctioneers, mail coaches, exports, arrivals and departures of vessels throughout the year (not including passengers) and more are all listed.
