About Express and Commercial Advertiser
The Express and Commercial Advertiser was established in May of 1850. It was owned by John Ings, who was also the owner of the Islander (see also). A Conservative newspaper, the Express
and Commercial Advertiser often reprinted the editorial content of the Islander in its columns. It opposed Responsible Government and the Liberal newspaper the Examiner. Some international
and local news was published in this paper, along with anecdotes, fiction, poetry and advertisements.
