Item description from seller

(Sydney: Thomas Richards), 1861. F'scap folio. Wrapper. (92pp.). (Journal of the Legislative Council, 1861, Volume 7). NOTE: A formal symbol of authority used to authenticate official documents. In 1861, Governor Sir William Denison clashed with Premier Charles Cowper over the use of the colony's Great Seal to grant land to the widow of convict John Tawell without ministerial consent. The Premier relinquished the seal and resigned to resolve the deadlock. The rest of his ministry also resigned. Eventually, the governor returned the seal and refused the ministry's resignation.
