 | | Governor Macquarie generally sided with the [35/36] emancipists, while Sir Thomas Brisbane, of later date, as strongly recommended the introduction of free settlers, and during his government a large number of such settlers were welcomed from the Scotch border. |
 | | John's Church, Launceston at the northern extremity of the island, was founded in 1824, and consecrated in 1827, by Archdeacon Hobbes Scott, of Sydney. |
 | | A capitation grant of two shillings per head of the population was suggested, but met with such strenuous opposition that, in the interests of peace, an amendment was adopted by the Legislative Council, that no aid should be given from any public funds whatsoever. |
