A satirical poem on John Rose Holden, one of six 'non-official' nominees to the New South Wales Legislative Council.

Editor's note: 'As the object in these rhymes has been to immortalise the half-dozen nominees who assisted the four squatters, Messrs. McLeay, Morris, Hood, and Osborne, and the Government officials, to double the taxes on the tea and sugar of the whole British people in this colony, in defiance of the "people's representatives", we shall not travel beyond the hero of this "song". Mr. Bradley and Mr.Broadhurst were absent from the memorable division, and Mr. Parker [Henry Watson Parker, Chairman of Committtees] gave his vote and the whole weight of his influence in opposition to the iniquitous measures.'
