Mr. Folster suitably replied, expressing his thanks for the manner in which the toast had been proposed and received. 'The Chairman' having been duly proposed and honoured, the bride cut the cake, which was then handed round.

| 262 | WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION (YESTERDAY.) Before his Honor, Judge Moffatt. Loiterton .v. Loiterton In the matter of determination between Oriel Gwendoline Cecelia Mary Loiterton and Mary Anne Loiterton. The claim was for ?900 compensation, arising out of the death, by electrocution, of William Loiterton, husband of the applicant, and son of the respondent. Mr. Levine, of Sydney instructed by Mr. Gilbert), appeared for the applicant, and Mr. Kinsey (of Kinsey and Callan, Cootamundra), appeared for the respondent. At the conclusion of our report in yesterday's issue the applicant was still in the witness box. The evidence continued: His Honor: 'What did you call her? Witness: 'Mother.' I just asked for Bill's wages. His mother said that no arrangements for Bill to work there had been made. I told her that she told my husband that she was going to pay him 12/- a day. I could not get any satisfaction from her. Her at titude all through has been that she made no arrangements to employ and pay my husband. His Honor: It is a pity some settlement could not be arranged. Mr. Kinsey: We have no suggestions in that regard. Witness: My husband told me my mother always paid him, even for chopping the wood. My husband was very fond of his mother, but he even charged her for that. Sometimes he would only cut a few sticks. His Honor: He would not charge for that, surely? Witness: Yes. By Mr. Kinsey: He was paid for everything he did, whether the job lasted five minutes or ten days. At the time of the accident, Mrs. Loiterton was not carrying on any trade or business. My mother and I went to see Mr. Maxwell, and went into the whole matter. It was discussed at length. He gave me advice. As my solicitor, he wrote Mrs Loiterton. The letter asked if Mrs. Loiterton was prepared to give me any material as sistance, towards the maintenance of my children. There was no mention of a claim. His Honor: . It could have been just a friendly appeal. Witness: Mr. Maxwell told me that he did get a reply to his letter. By Mr. Kinsey: I did not see the copy of the letter you produce. It was after I saw Mr. Maxwell that I wrote to the Conciliation and Information Bureau of the Workers' Compensation Commission. On my behalf, they wrote to Mrs. Loiterton, and I heard from that department the reply that was made. Ultimately, I got Mr. Gilbert to act for me, and it was in April, 1939, that I instituted proceedings through Mr. Gilbert. I did not ask Mr. Maxwell to do anything, but make arrangements with the Commission, who told me they could not get enough evidence. I first saw Mr. Gilbert about December. That would be about three months after I heard from the Commission. I do not know the reason for the delay from December to April in the lodging of a claim. I did not write to Mr. Gilbert, asking the reasons for the delay. I was not present at Mrs. Loiterton's place when there was some talk of painting the house. I do not know anything about my husband arranging to return to Mr. Dixon's to do some crutching. The only time I have been to I see my mother-in-law since my, husband died was when I went to ask for my husband's wages. His Honor: There would be naturally bad feeling from the time Mrs. Loiterton received the solicitor's letter. At this stage the court was adjourned until 2 o'clock. Witness, continuing under cross- examination: I do not want to correct my statement that my husband had painted the house two years before the accident. Mr. Levine said that he admitted that Mr. Kinsey had replied to Mr. Maxwell, and that the latter had received the letter. Witness continued: I did get a let- ter from Mr. Maxwell, saying that he did not receive a reply to his letter to the respondent's solicitors. I did not receive a letter from Mr. Maxwell stating that Mrs. Loiterton denied liability, or that, owing to her position, could not give any financial assistance at the time being, and any that she might give later would be purely voluntary. Mr. Maxwell did not tell me that he had heard that my husband was not employed by Mrs. Loiterton. Long before he left Mr. Dixon's, he promise his mother to do the painting work. To Mr. Levine: After my husband's death my mother-in-law did not call to see me. I did not receive any messages of sympathy from her. His shearing work did not take up the whole of the year. For the rest of the year he was an odd-job man. As compared with the rest of the family, my husband's financial position was much worse than the rest of the family. At the time of his death we were in debt. I say again that my husband was paid for every bit of work my husband did for his mother. Elsie May Dacey, mother of the applicant, deposed: I live near respondent's home, and pass it every morning on the way for my mail. The day after the funeral I called at Mrs. Loiterton's back door with my daughter, to ask for deceased's tools. Mrs. Loiterton, sen., said that the tools were up at the shed, and Mr. Fred. Loiterton would give them to my daughter. By Mr. Kinsey: I have never seen any other members of the family doing anything about the place except cutting wood. I would say they were good workers. Deceased painted the house twice before his death. I did not go to the house, with my daughter, leaving her at the gate. I did not ask Mrs. Loiterton for 2/6. I was collectlng for supper for a dance, and Mrs. Loiterton's daughter, Mrs. Wayne, gave me 2/6, outside the house, towards the supper. I went with my daughter to see Mr. Maxwell, and told him all the facts I knew about the case. I think my daughter did her own correspondence with the Commission. Applicant recalled: During the last period when my husband was working for my mother, he would leave for work at 7 o'clock each morning. He returned at 12.30 for lunch, staying for about half an hour. He would return about 5 o'clock each evening. By Mr. Kinsey: Did you watch your husband working all the time. Witness: No, how could I? This concluded the case for the applicant. Mr. Kinsey: I submit there is no case to answer. His Honor: I never non-suit in these cases. Respondent deposed: I am a widow, residing in Gray street, Wallendbeen, and the mother of William Thomas Loiterton, who was killed at my home on June 8, 1938. My son came to see me every time he got a chance. Two other single boys lived at the house with me. They did odd jobs around the house for me. They were often away. They would cut the hedges, cut the wood, do the gardening, etc. My son Sid often came to see me. He did some odd painting for me. None of the other boys ever did a job as big as painting the house. It would take a week to paint the house. One Sunday morning my son said he would, come and paint the house in his spare time. He said he was waiting for Mr. Dixon to ring him to go back and crutch some sheep. He said he would do some work at my place, so he could answer my 'phone when Mr. Dixon rang. He walked round the house with me, and pointed out things that wanted doing. He said that if I got the paints ready he would come in and do the work in his spare time. I did not pay him for any of his work. He was a good worker, and he was always wanting to do something for me. My son first mentioned the painting work. He said, "Mum, if you get the paint, I will do the house in my spare time. I gave no instructions to my son about how he would do the work, or when he was to start. It would be about a week after the talk that he came to the house, and started working on the fence and the hedge. I was not prepared to spend money on having the house painted. He did not ask for any payment during the job. My boys would not have taken any payment if I had offered it to them. I did not pay him for any of the odd jobs he did from time to time. He never, asked for any payment. Mrs. Dacey came to my back door and Mrs Will Loiterton stopped up at the back gate. This was the day after the funeral. I said that I had never agreed to pay any wages to my son. It would be six or seven years before my son's death that the house was painted previously. My daughter- in-law did not mention any rate of wages to me. Nothing, like that was ever said. By Mr. Levine: My son always seemed to have enough money to carry on with when he was not working. He would be as well off as my other sons. His widow's position now is not too bad. The four children are looked after allright. I have not been to see my daughter-in-law since the accident. I used to go and see her before the accident. I did not say, to my son,'"I like the color of Mr. Dixon's place. Will your paint my house the same?'" My daughter, Mrs Wayne, works at the store. I cannot remember any trouble about getting the paint. I did not know that my son Ken had deceased insured. Deceased worked for him at harvesting time. I did not know about Sid's wife calling to, see Mrs. Loiterton. I know nothing about the family having a conference, or Mrs. Sid Loiterton telling deceased's wife to keep quiet about the accident. I cannot remember when I first saw my solicitor. I do not remember any suggestion of making a claim for insurance through my son Ken. I cannot remember getting a letter from Mr. Maxwell. I have never seen the compensation claim form produced. I do not know how much my daughter-in-law is claiming in this court today. I do not read much. I am nearly 73 years of age. Mrs. Mayne does all my mail. I have never employed anyone in my life. Mrs. Wayne has not employed anyone for me. I did not know that my son was going to erect a fence. To Mr. Kinsey: In connection with this legal business now before the court, I have left the handling of the matter to the members of my family. Mrs. Ivy Mayne gave corroborative evidence. By Mr. Levine: To my knowledge my mother did not pay anyone for any work around the place. Mr. Dyde, a carrier, was paid for carting some posts. My brothers have a small truck, but they were away working at that time. William started work on the Friday, and was electrocuted on the Wednesday. I was there all the time when my brother William had a conversation with my mother. I did not discuss this case at the lunch hour. When I received the first letter from Mr. Maxwell I took the letter to Mr. Kinsey. Those at home discussed the matter. I do not know anything about Ken insuring William, or Mrs. Sid going to see Mrs. Loiterton. There was no attempt to keep the accident quiet. The matter of compensation was not discussed. There was a mis take in the paint for the house. Wil liam had been talking about the color he had used on Mr. Dixon's house. When I ordered the paint I made a mistake with the color card, and got a color which was a shade darker. The house did need painting. William was waiting to go back to Mr. Dixon's, and he said he had told Mr. Dixon to ring our home. Until a fortnight before the accident I was on friendly terms with the applicant. I know her four children very well. I have never heard a fee of 12/- a day mentioned. Sidney Loiterton deposed: Just a little time before his death, deceased (my brother) came to me to borrow a wedge. He said he was going to do a little job for his mother while he was waiting to go back to Mr. Dixton's. By Mr. Levine: Bill worked with me for Ken. I would be insured with Ken. I could not say if my wife went to see Bill's wife on the night of his death. I did not hear any mention of insurance that Ken had taken out. I am not friendly, with the widow. I finished the painting after Bill's death. It took me two or three weeks to finish the job. By Mr. Kinsey: I was not working for that time continuously. I did the work in my slack time. To his Honor: Going straight at it, I could have done, the work in 6 or 8 days. This concluded the case for the respondent. After summing up his Honor said he did not think it was a case in which he could make an award. It was unfortunate that the widow had been left with four children. It probably would not be too late for a settlement. All the people in the case seemed to be decent people. It was his opinion that deceased was doing the work voluntarily. For the sake of the children, his Honor suggested that the people concerned should come together. His Honor then formally found in favor of the respondent. No award was made as to costs. | Loiterton, William Thomas (I1100)

| 263 | WRECK OF THE ADARIO. Copy Of Log of the barque Adario, from San Francisco towards Sydney, October, 1850. Saturday, 19.-Fresh breezes and fine weather. At 9:30 a.m., saw the land S.S.W. nine or ten leagues. Ends with same weather, steering west along the land ; distance off shore about two miles. Sunday, 20.-Fresh breezes and fine weather. At 9.30 p.m., hauled into a bay for the purpose of anchoring, stood in about one mile, but finding deep water, tacked and stood to seaward. About 1.30 p.m. In working out of the bay, the vessel missed stays, filled on her and tacked by hauling down the jib and flying - jib, as the wind had fallen light, just as the mainyard was hauled a flaw off the high land took the after yards aback, giving her stern way, the larboard anchor was immediately let go, as a hand was already by the stop- per, and by the time the anchor held, it being deep water, the vessel struck abaft, and almost immediately carried away the rudder and stern post. The second anchor was let go to assist in keeping her end on, as the wind had again freshened from seaward. Cleared away the boats, jolly-boat filled alongside and drove on shore with one seaman in her, who got landed upon the rocks and to whom the end of the lead line was thrown, afterwards a stout rope made fast to a tree by which some of the people got on shore. Cut away tho mizen-mast for the better con- veyance of passengers on shore, as the sea was rising fast. Three natives swam on shore to us from a whale boat that had come down the bay to tender as- sistance ; the natives gave us to understand they were "plenty missionaries," and would not steal; two Europeans who came along the rocks affirmed to the same effect that every thing would be perfectly safe. In consequence of this, as all hands were busy in getting on shore what they could, I arranged with the native chief, through the medium of an interpreter, one of the afore mentioned Europeans, known as "Portegue Johnny," to place the chief Sang-a-poo-lo-a-tilla in charge of all the things brought on shore; he, the chief, at the same time informing us that he would be responsible for the whole ; and that the natives who were by this time numerous, should be paid for their service in proportion to the property saved by them. During this time the masts were cut away to still the vessel, as she was filling and breaking up fast, the sea increasing. Engaged with Bill the other European, owner of the whale boat, to proceed to tho consul's at Apia, distant about twenty miles. Having left charge with the chief officer, and the native chief, with Portegue Johnny as interpreter ; about 5 P M. started in the whale boat with wife and child, Mr. Nokes, owner, four of the crew, and one paasenger ; about 9 30 P.M., arrived at the residence of Mr. Pritchard, H.B.M. Consul, and acquainted him of our misfortune, who immediately set about making preparation to return with us to the wreck. About 2 A.M., started with two boats, the Consul and Captain Turnbull ; noon, arrived at Fay-a-loo Bay, observed the vessel completely broken up. Soon after landing the Consul held a consultation with the native chief res- pecting the proporty saved from the wreck, and now held in possession by the natives, together with the sails that had been cut from the yards and distributed amongst them all in strips, except some of the small sails. Shortly after midnight, the Consul returned to his residence for the purpose of procuring more boats to convy the passengers and remainder of the crew. At daylight I proceeded to the wreck in company with Captain Turnbull, who had been left to act during the absence of tho Consul, about noon arrived, and found every thing had been removed that could possibly be carried away by the natives, some, however, were still diving for such things as they could pick up, although the surf was very heavy. The longboat, which we had chiefly gone to look after, was landed above the reach of the surf, and slightly damaged, but in the evening, after we left, the natives broke her so much as to be almost past repairing. The following morning the Consul returned with four boats, but some conversation with the two chiefs, and some of the natives, as to givng up things retained by them, a portion of which was to be allotted them as salvage. In the afternoon the natives brought forward about four or five dozen shirts, with a few other articles of little value: these being too small a portion, to accept as the whole, the meeting broke up, the Consul giving them to understand that he should expect everything produced, and should let the matter rest for the pre- sent. In the evening the boats started, taking all hands, and about 1 a.m.,arrived at Apia, where the whole were distributed in different lots, and for whom the best possible provision was made. Every exertion had been made by the Consul for the relief of all, as it was found very difficult to procure food from the natives in Fagaloa Bay. the place of wreck. In a fortnight we paid a visit to this settlement, having received a mes- sage from one of the chiefs that all the things would be given up: but on our arrival we found them equally reluctant to part with their plunder; however, after a few long arguments, a portion of their clothes were produced, and were to be taken as the whole, and no more will be said about it. To this the Consul objected, although he was anxious to obtain the things, he could only accept this little lot upon the ground of tho destitute state of the shipwrecked people under his charge ; but that upon the arrival of the first man-of-war he should call upon them for redress. To this many murmurs were made, and a very good argu- ment advanced, namely, that there were some men (natives) upon the adjoining island (Tavi) who had some time ago killed some white men ; they had often been spoken to abont the man-of-war, but they had never seen her yet ; that another native, who had also killed white men, he was also threatened with the man of war, but finally died without seeing one. From this it will be seen that the authority of the British Consul is not a great deal, and the dread of a man-of-war less. Before closing this little account, it will, perhaps, not be out of place to mention that the aforesaid " Portuguese Johnny" was found to be a notorious villain being no other than one of the runaway convicts in the brig Wellington, which it will be remembered was taken by the prisoners at sea many years ago ; since then, most of his time has been spent at Upola, where he has carried on a series of depredations too numerous to mention. Different parties have tried to capture him, but without success. Many charges are now against him, and the Consul proposes sending him to Sydney by the first man-of-war; but the proposal might very easily have been carried into effect by sending him up in the Narwhal, and by so doing a considerable deal of money and property that has fallen into his hands, with much more in possession of the natives, would have been given up.

A meteoric rise, but well and truly earned, as there is no keener man in the A.I.F. than this Cootamundra native. The district should be very proud of this brilliant young officer.

| 272 | 100th Birthday Friends and relations gathered at the RSL Rooms, Grenfell on Sunday 13 June 1976, to celebrate with Mrs. Eliza Ann Perceval the occasion of her 100th Birthday. Eliza Perceval was born at Pridmans Creek, Rye Park, the daughter of Walter and Ann Martin. On April 16th, 1896 she married William Perceval at the Methodist Church, Rye Park and there were eleven children of the marriage. The seven surviving children are, Mrs. May Murray (Grenfell), Victor (Charlie of Grenfell), Lindsey (Grenfell), Cecil (Mustard of Sydney), Mrs. Annie Frampton (Grenfell), Mrs. C Horne (Jean of Grenfell) and Mary (Grenfell). Her husband passed away in 1953. The family remained at Rye Park until 1907 when they moved to Grenfell, firstly to Alexandria Street and then to the residence in Palmer Street where she has resided for the past sixty years. One of six children, she in her early years helped in the running of the family home, her mother passing away when Eliza was nine years of age - Baking bread at the age of nine was indicative of the pioneering spirit of that era. In later years when she had married, the trip to Rye Park township for the weekly food supplies involved a walk of thirteen miles - A stay overnight at her mother-in-law's home and then the long walk home the next day. Perhaps the most vivid memory retained by Eliza is of the large bushfire which started near Young and swept through to the South Coast. As the fire approached she took her children to the potato paddock near the creek and covered them with wet blankets. She had carried with her some possessions, among them a Singer Sewing Machine, bought at the Crookwell Show in 1897. This machine is still in working condition and in her possession. The bark roof of their home caught alight on one corner and her husband chopped through the verandah posts to let the roof down and save the house. Of true pioneering stock, Eliza tried her hand at all outdoor activities and helped in the building of slip-rail fences, driving of stock, lopping tries for cattle feed, carting water in buckets. The hard times are remembered and the potato paddock provided the family meal on many occasions when meat was not available. Also the good times are recalled with a happy family life with parties and picnics and lots of fishing. The gathering at the RSL Rooms took the form of a luncheon chaired by Mr F Walter (Grenfell) with the town and shire residents being represented by Mr W Black, Weddin Shire President. Mrs. Perceval was the recipient of an orchid shoulder spray and many gifts. Beautiful floral arrangements were received and appreciated by her from various people and organisations. Telegrams were received from as far afield as London, from Buckingham Palace, H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth conveyed her best wishes. Others were from Sir John Kerr and Lady Kerr Govenor General of Australia. Governor Sir Roden and Lady Cutler of New South Wales. Mr. Malcolm Fraser and wife, Prime Minister of Australia. Mr. Neville Wran, Premier of New South Wales. Mr. D Anthony, Deputy Prime Minister of Australia. Mr. Stephen Lusher, Member for Hume. Mr George Freudenstein, Member for Young. Many telegrams and cards from various friends were received. The Birthday Cake made by Mrs. Anne Frampton (daughter) and iced by Mrs. K Nealor was cut to chorus of voices. "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow". We all congratulate Grenfell's Grand Lady. | Martin, Eliza Ann (I16338)

A beautiful two-decker cake was made and presented by Mrs G Unicomb (Taree). This contained 80 candles, all of which were duly lit and the extinguished by the beloved guest of the evening. She then, with steady hand, cut the cake amidst cheers. Felicitous speaches were cotributed by both sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters and one great grandson. A program of games, competitions and other forms of entertainment was most pleasurably carried out in a nicely decorated room of 28 feet length specially arranged for the occasion. All present were delighted to acknowledge the affectionate and beautiful life of their mother, gradmother and great grandmother, and united to congratulate her upon the possession of all her faculties and the enjoyment by her of such wonderful health. Mrs Sheather Snr recalls her early experiences in this district, when all was densely covered scrub and the roads were merely bush tracks, while the most familiar form of transport was the primitive spring cart and bullock waggon. Most of the members of her families are now settled in this district and her direct descendants number 84. A unique and thankful assemblage sat down to a splendid supper and the joyous proceedings concluded with the singing of the Doxology and the National Anthem | Minett, Eliza Charlotte (I14841)

| 282 | Cootamundra's veteran, Mr Isaac Sheather, passed away in the Cootamundra District Hospital on Sunday afternoon at the grand old age of 92. He had been a patient in the hospital for some time. The late Mr Sheather was born in Camden in 1854, and as a youth he travelled from Camden to Nangus by horseback, where he started dairying, but was unlucky to strike a dry spell. He lived at Cootamundra for over 60 years, apart from several small breaks, when he went to the South Coast, and also to Victoria. He was one of those who took part in the big gold rush in Temora in the early days. At Christmas time 1945, he paid his first visit to Sydney for 65 years, staying with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr and Mrs Walter Brown of Cremorne. He recalled then that he remembered Sydney when the cows used to graze at Rose Bay. Mrs Frank Mitchell, of Cootamundra, and Mrs Walter Brown, of Cremorne are the only children. Deceased owned a number of houses in Cootamundra. Maintaining his full faculties until recently, he was very interesting in his chats on the old days of the town and district | Sheather, Isaac (I984)

| 288 | Exposed, the bawdy love boat of 1838 by Matthew Moore An extraordinary tale of debauchery among officers and passengers on a emigrant ship to Australia at the height of Empire has been disclosed in a newly-discovered diary. The ship's captain took to sharing his bunk with two daughters of a preacher who was moving his family to Adelaide, while the rest of the crew enjoyed the company of a party of prostitutes. When not carousing with passengers, it seems that the officers on the Planter, which departed from Deptford, east London, in November 1838 engaged in drunken violence. James Bell, a junior officer, recorded the behaviour in a 225-page log that is going up for auction next month after being bought for a few pounds at a market stall. He wrote: "The captain was allowed to keep the daughterscompany at all hours and during the whole time of our being in warm weather our bed on deck sufficed for all three... such an example was soon followed up by all the Ship's Co: but particularly the 3 Mates [who] carried immorality to a glaring height." Describing an alcohol-fuelled confrontation between the captain and the ship's surgeon, he noted the "dispute ran so high as to provoke the former to knock the latter down with his fist". Felix Pryor, a historian who catalogued the journal on behalf of Bonhams auction house, said he was shocked by its account, expecially as Bell kept the diary for his sweetheart in Britain. "It reads like one big orgy - not something one would send to a lady," he said. "With all this whoring and drunkenness, it is amazing the ship ever arrived in Austraia." The log is expected to fetch 4,000 pounds in London on March 23. | Planter, The Ship (I27683)
