Now I cannot find the site again.(Not the NLA site - the one > that had the papers) I've gone through all the listings in the NLA site > and cannot find it. I access 19th century papers through the NLA but the ones I most commonly access need me to use my NLA Readers Card and seem to all be British. Not sure if it will be of any help to you but this is what I do: I go to: http://www.nla.gov.au/ I then select eResources on right hand side in the box. Once the eResouces page comes up I then either select "Freely Available resources" or, more usually, "Licenced resources" (the Licenced resources is the one that requires a Readers Card - this gives access to the Gale Group papers - 19th C British newspapers and The Times). I did a quick hunt there and couldn't see the 2 papers you mentioned. If you do find the site you used could you report back to the group please as I'd be interested too.
