Six members of the nominee <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_Legislative_Council" title="Tasmanian Legislative Council">Legislative Council</a> had resigned in protest over the costs of the prison system, which was partly borne by Tasmanians, and increased by the suspension of <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convictism_in_Australia" title="Convictism in Australia" class="mw-redirect">transportation</a> to <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales" title="New South Wales">New South Wales</a>. This meant the Council had no <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum" title="Quorum">quorum</a>. Due to difficulties in appointing replacements, Denison chose to rule without a functioning Council, even though this meant he could not pass legislation, including that needed to amend some tax laws that were subsequently found to be faulty.<sup id="cite_ref-adb_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-adb-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup> He became at odds with the two judges; the power of the Council to levy taxes had been questioned, and Chief Justice <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lewes_Pedder" title="John Lewes Pedder" class="mw-redirect">Pedder</a> and Judge <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Algernon_Montagu&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Algernon Montagu (page does not exist)">Montagu</a> concurred in holding that the Council had no right to levy a tax for other than local purposes. Denison thereupon charged the judges with neglect of duty in failing to identify the faults in the laws before they were enacted. He suggested that the Chief Justice should apply for leave of absence, and also found an opportunity to dismiss Montagu who was threatened with an action by a creditor. Denison was afterwards reprimanded by the Secretary of State, <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Grey,_3rd_Earl_Grey" title="Henry Grey, 3rd Earl Grey">Earl Grey</a>, for his conduct towards Pedder, but the dismissal of Montagu was confirmed.<sup id="cite_ref-dab_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dab-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <p>A report made by Denison to the Secretary of State, in which he spoke unfavourably of the colonists as a whole, was printed as a parliamentary paper, Denison naturally became very unpopular, and this unpopularity was not lessened by his attitude to the anti-transportation movement. He, however, succeeded in conciliating some of the citizens by granting 5 acres (20,000 m<sup>2</sup>) of land in Hobart as a site for an unsectarian school.<sup id="cite_ref-dab_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dab-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <p>In 1846, Grey's predecessor, <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ewart_Gladstone" title="William Ewart Gladstone">Gladstone</a> had suspended transportation of males to Tasmania for two years, and Grey had erroneously given the impression in dispatches to Denison that it would not be resumed, and Denison had passed this view on to the Legislative Council.<sup id="cite_ref-adb_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-adb-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup> Subsequently, the British Government began sending convicts in large numbers. The <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australasian_Anti-Transportation_League" title="Australasian Anti-Transportation League">Anti-Transportation League</a> formed to oppose transportation had the support of nearly all the leading colonists of Tasmania, and as the other colonies took the same stand success became certain. The last ship with convicts for Tasmania sailed towards the end of 1852.<sup id="cite_ref-dab_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dab-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <p>While this movement had been going on, the question of granting responsible government had come much to the front. In 1850 an act for the better government of the Australian colonies was passed, which provided that the existing nominee councils should frame electoral acts for new elected councils. A council of 16 members was elected in Tasmania, all supporting the Anti-Transportation movement, and the governor's power was now much reduced. He, however, incurred some criticism by proclaiming pre-emptive right land regulations before the new Council met. The proclamation was intended to help to keep small holders of land in Tasmania, but the large <a href="/web/20150415121021/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grazier_(Australian_agriculture)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Grazier (Australian agriculture) (page does not exist)">graziers</a> and speculators defeated this by taking up large tracts of land. Denison, however, became more popular towards the end of his term. In September 1854 he received word that he had been appointed Governor of New South Wales, and when he left Hobart on 13 January 1855 he received a cheque for £2000 from the colonists to purchase a piece of plate as a memento of his sojourn among them.
