Having gathered considerable evidence of his own, Wentworth wrote to Sir George Murray, the Secretary of State, and forwarded to him a long bill of indictment against the Governor. On the 8th July, 1828, Mr. Stewart, a member of the British House of Commons, rose to move for “papers connected with the case of Joseph Sudds and Patrick Thompson.” The “rascally newspapers” had not been idle either, and “Miles,” a correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, took up the cudgels for Mr. Wentworth. The Morning Chronicle commented severely on the conduct of the Tory Governor of New South Wales. The Tory papers duly retaliated, but eventually Darling moved to resign. The controversy still persisted, and lasted years after Governor Darling's resignation - with the Whig party clamouring for vengeance, and with “Miles,” persistently chronicling all of Darling’s misdeeds in order to seek that Darling be tried for his life. There was, however, no “trial for murder” and the Government expressed itself fully satisfied with the conduct of Sir Ralph Darling. Wentworth having got for Governor Major-General Sir Richard Bourke (who was generally liked), turned his attention to other pursuits. Wentworth published in England a series of pamphlets containing an account of this whole business.
