	Governor La Trobe
		In 1854 La Trobe was to be replaced, and his wife Sophie returned to Switzerland due to illness while Charles awaited the arrival of Governor Hotham.
		Along with Hotham, La Trobe must be considered one of the major contributors to the conditions that led to the Eureka Stockade uprising.
		Before he died, La Trobe recognised the importance to the colony of a number of the documents in his possession and sent them back to Melbourne where they became the nucleus of an important historical collection now known as the La Trobe Library collection.

	La Trobe, Charles Joseph (1801 - 1875) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online
		LA TROBE, CHARLES JOSEPH (1801-1875), superintendent and lieutenant-governor, was born on 20 March 1801 in London, the son of Christian La Trobe and his wife Hannah, née Sims.
		La Trobe did not have the usual background of a colonial governor; he had no army or naval training, little administrative experience and, with his talents and interests, high principles and serious mind, he was a cultured gentleman rather than an intellectual or an executive.
		La Trobe strongly opposed the sending of convicts to Port Phillip and the proposed resumption of transportation, although he felt that 'exiles' might be acceptable and a useful addition to the always limited labour force and in 1844-49 was able to absorb several shiploads in the country districts.

		“Charles Joseph La Trobe was the Superintendent of the Port Phillip District of New South Wales from 1839 to 1850.

		Charles Joseph La Trobe died on 4 December 1875 at Clapham House in the village of Litlington near Eastbourne in Sussex.

	~ GOLD ~
		Although La Trobe had the power to veto legislation, he could not implement laws or approve expenditure without a majority vote of the council – and the 20 elected members stubbornly refused to allow La Trobe to spend the government’s general revenue on any service connected to the gold fields except administration.
		To find funds for police or infrastructure for the diggings, La Trobe was forced to "borrow" revenue from gold licenses: the revenue, by British law, was the property of the Crown, not the colony.
		At last La Trobe’s hands were untied and, in the months that followed, his government invested a large sum of money in badly-needed bridges and roads for the diggings, and the recruitment of extra police, who were paid 12 shillings and sixpence a day, plus board and lodging.

	Charles Joseph La Trobe: A Civilising Vision for Victoria
		Charles Joseph La Trobe, the visionary administrator of Victoria from 1839 to 1854, after whom the Library’s famed domed Reading Room is named, had much to do with the establishment of so many of the cultural institutions we take for granted today.
		In the interests of the universal education he espoused, La Trobe was a strong supporter of the concept of founding both a public library and a university which, as Geoffrey Blainey has written, ‘would cultivate science and morality in the colony’.
		La Trobe had arrived in Port Phillip with a certainty about his civilizing mission and the institutions through which it would be expressed.

		La Trobe's position was thus the difficult one of 'the man on the spot', representing the interests of the colonial government to a rapidly expanding settlement of people who had established themselves largely against the government's wishes.
		It has been noted that the only instruction on policy given to La Trobe in this despatch, which was designed to be 'read in public', was a directive to pay attention to 'the treatment of the aborigines, and to the prevention as far as possible of collisions between them and the Colonists'.
		La Trobe's other concerns were to manage the process of colonisation, enforcing the regulation of land claims, and collecting revenue from settlers.
