He practised in See also:Ireland until 1842, and then, making his See also:home in See also:Australia, was admitted to the See also:Melbourne bar in 1843. He engaged extensively in See also:pastoral pursuits, and had See also:sheep stations at Natte Yallock, on the See also:banks of the See also:river See also:Avoca, and in the neighbourhood of See also:Lake See also:Wallace, near the See also:South Australian border. For many years he enjoyed the leading practice at the See also:local bar, and when the See also:Port See also:Phillip See also:district of New South See also:Wales was separated from the See also:parent See also:colony, and entered upon an See also:independent existence as the colony of See also:Victoria, Mr Stawell accepted the position of See also:attorney-See also:general and became a member of the executive and legislative See also:councils. A few See also:weeks after his See also:appointment See also:gold was discovered, and to Mr Stawell See also:fell the arduous duties of creating a See also:system of See also:government which could See also:cope adequately with the difficulties of the position. He had to establish a See also:police force, See also:frame regulations for the government of the goldfields, appoint magistrates and officials of every grade, and protect See also:life and See also:property against the attacks of the hordes of adventurers, many of desperate See also:character, who landed in Victoria, first from the neighbouring colonies, and later from See also:Europe and See also:America. It was very much owing to the See also:firm See also:administration of Mr Stawell that, at a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time when the government was weak and a large See also:section of the newcomers impatient of See also:control, See also:lynch law was never resorted to.

Clarke and Mr H. C. E. See also:Childers Mr Stawell was the brains as well as the See also:body of the administration. The success of his policy was upon the whole remarkable. In the legislature he was sometimes opposed, and at other times assisted, by Mr (after-wards Sir See also:John) O'Shanassy, who was the See also:leader of the popular party, and between them they managed to pass a number of statutes which added greatly to the prosperity of the colony. Mr Stawell was indefatigable in the See also:discharge of his duties, and extraordinary stories are told of the See also:long journeys on horseback to visit distant outposts which he would take after being all See also:day long in the law courts or in the council chamber. Mr Stawell See also:bore an active See also:part in drafting the Constitution See also:Act which gave to Victoria representative institutions and a responsible See also:ministry, instead of an executive appointed and removable by the See also:governor and a legislature in which one-third of the members were chosen by the See also:Crown. At the first general See also:election after the new constitution in 1856 Mr Stawell was returned as one of the members for Melbourne, and became the attorney-general of the first responsible ministry. In 1857, on the resignation of the See also:chief See also:justice, Sir William A'Beckett, he succeeded to the vacant See also:post, and was created a See also:knight-See also:bachelor. He administered the government of Victoria in 1873, 1875–1876, and 1884. Sir William never See also:left Australia from his arrival in 1843 till 1872, when he paid See also:short visits to the neighbouring colonies and New See also:Zealand, and 1873, when he returned to Europe on two years' leave of See also:absence.
