 Goderich, writing to Governor Bourke on 24 March 1832, denied that Hall's representations had affected the question of the recall of Darling, but there can be little doubt that it had a strong influence on it.Hall continued to conduct his paper now called "The Sydney Monitor" until 1838, when he transferred to the Australian, which stopped appearing in 1848.He was subsequently connected with Henry Parkes's "Empire" and towards the end of his life was given a position in the colonial secretary's office, Sydney.
