Summary

{{Information

|description=

English: Royal prerogative: a cartoon depicting S-R C-S H-M (i.e. Sir Charles Hotham), bound with ropes 'manufactured in Downing Street', being threatened by S-R W-M D-N (i.e. Sir William Denison) with a pistol marked 'Royal Prerogative'. It apparently refers to the opposition of the British Government and Sir W. Denison to the 'Convicts Prevention Act' of the Legislative Council of Victoria, 1854-1855
Found also in Trove with no further information
The Victorian Convicts' Protection Act (1854-10-17) provides a copy of a letter from William Denison to Charles Hotham[1] and also the previous day[2]
