1026 c image1826 (Feb 4) lengthy entire to Yorkshire "per Andromeda/Feb 18 1826" with a largely very fine strike of the small undated single-oval 'HOBART TOWN/V.D.L' h/s (most strikes are poor), step 'PORTSMOUTH/SHIP LETTER' h/s on the face, London transit b/s of 5JY5 in red, straightline 'KIRKBYMOORSIDE' h/s, redirected to London with largely superb 'YORK/JY10/1826/132' b/s, various rate markings, light soiling & minor internal repairs with archival tape. The historically fascinating letter states "...this Colony is in a state of political warfare...He [the Chief Justice ??] is quite idolised...too humane for a colony composed as this is, a prisoner need not have a Counsel...he takes care to watch every point for them...I am sorry to see the Governor get more & more unpopular...The Council have suspended the Attorney-General...3 Attorneys...are to be struck of [sic] the Rolls for advocating the Attorney General's case and giving their tongues too much latitude..." [In 1823, Joseph Tice Gellibrand was appointed the island's first Attorney-General. An advocate for trial reform, he was at odds with the autocratic Governor George Arthur. In 1825, he was charged with unprofessional conduct & lost his government position. Later, Gellibrand was a leading member of the Port Phillip Association]
