The text is an extract from the 'South Australian Register' of Thursday 7 April 1853 and records the testimonial dinner two days earlier for George Tinline 'in recognition of his work in the financial crisis of 1850-52 . In October 1851 thousands of South Australian men left their jobs to try their luck in the Victorian goldfields severely bankrupting the state of its labour and coinage. In order to avoid financial disaster Acting Manager of the South Australian Banking Company George Tinline 1815-1895 proposed the establishment of the South Australian Assay Office which was to pay more per ounce for gold than any other colony in Australia outbidding Melbourne for Victorian gold. This plan was executed in conjunction with the Bullion Act of 1852 which enabled banks to exchange gold bullion for hand notes at a fixed value. This meant that gold ingots were worth 72 shillings per ounce in South Australia compared to 58-60 shillings in Melbourne. This difference was worth the gold diggers while and soon gold flowed from diggers and dealers to the Adelaide market the devalued currency ensuring a roaring export trade with Victoria and the success the Bank of South Australia. In honour of his crucial work and imaginative efforts in maintaining credit and preventing the financial collapse in the colony of South Australia Tinline was presented with the silver salver. At a private dinner attended by 200 notables Chairman George Elder expressed that the colony was indebted to Mr. Tinline proclaiming him a faithful steward of South Australia. In addition to the inscribed salver he was given 2000 guineas the text in fact records a cheque for £2500; and was awarded £1000 by the London directors. The salver itself was made by Hunt & Roskell silversmiths and jewellers to the Queen for a significant sum £210 for a full service including the salver . The salver is divided into three illustrated segments which narrate the story of George Tinline and the financial crisis of 1851-53. The first shows the farm labourers heading for the Victorian gold fields taking with them some useful tools. The second shows George Tinline presenting the Governor with the Bullion Act who then signs it. Finally the third shows the welcome given to the gold escort arrival and the weighing of the gold at the diggings' History Trust of South Australia catalogue record for the Tinline Salver now in their collection. The frontispiece is an image of the salver. <p>Ferguson 17183a. G.E. Waters paperback

The critical comments on contemporary vine cultivation and wine production make interesting reading. Visits were made to properties and individuals well-known to this day: Davenport Boothby Crompton Auld Mrs Penfold Thomas Elder and Birksgate Thomas Hardie sic and Bankside and 'Clare - Seven Hills and St. Aloysius' College' with numerous 'Notable Wine Growers' in the region mentioned.
