PROCLAMATION
by his Excellency JOHN HINDMARSH,
Knight of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order,
Governor and Commander-in-chief of His Majes-
ty's Province of South Australia.
In announcing to the Colonists of His Majesty's
Province of South Australia the establishment of
the Government, I hereby call upon them to con-
duct themselves on all occasions with order and
quietness, duly to respect the laws, and by a course
of industry and sobriety, by the practice ofsound
morality, and a strict observance of the ordinances
of Religion, to prove themselves worthy to be the
founders of a great and free Colony. It is also, at this time, especially my duty to
apprise the Colonists of my resolution, to take
every lawful means for extending the same pro-
tection to the Native Population as to the rest of
His Majesty's Subjects, and of my firm determi-
nation to punish with exemplary severity, all acts
of violence or injustice which may in any manner
be practised or attempted against the Natives, who
are to be considered as much under safeguard
of the law as the Colonists themselves, and equally entitled to the privileges of British sub-
jects. I trust therefore, with confidence to the
exercise of moderation and forbearance by all
classes, in their intercourse with the Native Inha-
bitants, and that they will omit no opportunity of
assisting me to fulfil His Majesty's most gracious
and benevolent intentions towards them, by pro-
moting their advancement in civilization, and
ultimately, under the blessing of Divine Provi-
dence, their conversion to the Christian faith.
Given under my hand at Glenelg, this twenty- eighth day of December, 1836.
(Signed.) JOHN HINDMARSH. By His Excellency's command, ROBERT GOUGER, Colonial Secretary.
God save the King.

Whereas by a certain Act of Parliament passed
in the sixth year of the reign of His late Majesty
King George the Fourth, entitled "An Act for
punishing offences committed by transports kept
to labour in the Colonies, and better regulating
the powers of Justices of the Peace in New South
Wales," it is amongst other things enacted, that
it shall and may be lawful for His Majesty, by
any order or orders to be by him from time to
time for that purpose issued, with the advice of
his Privy Council to appoint, or by any such
order or orders in Council, to authorise the
Governors, Lieutenant-Governors, or other per-
sons for the time being administrating the govern-
ment of any of His Majesty's dominions to which any
offender convicted in any such foreign possessions,
colonies, or plantations, and being under sentence
or order of transportation, shall be sent or trans-
ported; and that all such persons shall, within
the place or places to which, in pursuance ofany
such order or orders in council, they shall or may
be so sent or transported, be subject and liable to
all such and the same laws, rules, and regulations
as are or shall be in force in any such place or
places, with respect to convicts transported from
Great Britain": and whereas his said late Majesty
by an order by him issued, by the advice of his
Privy Council, on the 11th day of November
1825, in pursuance of the said Act ofParliament,

that behalf vested, did order, "That the Gover-
nors, Lieutenant-Governors, or other persons, for
the time being, administering the government of
any of His Majesty's foreign possessions, colonies,

convicted in any such foreign possessions, colo-
nies, or plantations, and being under sentence or
or order of transportation, shall be sent or trans-
ported."
Now therefore I, John Hindmarsh, Knight ofthe Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order, Governor and
Commander-in-chief of His Majesty's Province of
South Australia, in pursuance of the said order in
council and act of parliament respectively, and in
exercise of the powers thereby respectively in me
