Johns on Boothby (1934)
Frederick Johns, a South Australian historian, was a fan of William
Robinson Boothby and an advocate of South Australia's place in the story of the
Australian Ballot. Here's the WRB entry on p36-7 of Johns's 1934
(posthumously published) Australian Bibliographical Dictionary. Johns
credits Boothby with the ballot clauses of the 1856 Act, but Boothby was
not in fact appointed returning
officer until November that year.
