| 53 | ELECTROCUTED WILLIAM LOITERTON OF WALLENDBEEN There was a tragic happening at Wallendbeen yesterday afternoon. William Lolterton, aged. 30, a married man with a family of four, was cleaning out the gutters of the roof of the cottage occupied by his aged mother, the widow of the late Charles Loiterton, of Wallendbeen, when he slipped. To save himself from falling off the roof he grasped the electric wires leading into the home from the Burrinjuck service, got caught with the current, and could not get free fom the wire. His screams for assistance attracted the attention of the golfers on the course alongside. It was during the afternoon tea in connection with the season's official opening. The men ran over to assist. Others were also soon on the scene. One man, Mr. Cecil Connors, cut the wires with an axe to shut off the current from the unfortunate victim, who was still alive. The ambulance and a doctor were summoned from Cootamundra, and the electric substation at Cootamundra was phoned. The ambulance with the doctor aboard, did the 12 miles in 12 minutes; and Messrs. Slater and Lucas ??f from the sub-station, were there in ??? minutes. Meanwhile Messrs. Mormon and Connors, of Wallendbeen, who had had ambulance training, took charge of the case, and gave directions to the willing helpers. Using the ladder by which Mr. Loiterton had gone up to the roof, they got him down, and laid him out. He was unconscious, but still breathing, although the current had passed through his body for some minutes; and they worked to restore animation until the arrival of Ambulance Superintendent Moorhouse and the doctor. The latter continued their efforts, but in vain, until 10 minutes to 7, and the body was then brought to the Cootamundra District Hospital. The accident had happened at about 4.45. Deceased was born at Cootamundra. His father at time was farming. A member of a very esteemed family, descendants of the district pioneers, he followed shearing, and his brothers Fred and Ken made a clever trio in demand at the woolsheds around. All the brothers are handy men on the farm and in other spheres. For the last six months William had been renovating the home of Mr. Dixon, of "Bramshott," Wallendbeen, and, having a few days off from there, he was doing odd things for his mother, aged 71. Mother and son had separate homes adjoining, but facing the two side streets off the main road which runs out from Wallendbeen towards Murrumburrah. To the veteran the fatality is a dreadful shock, as to all the other relatives and to Wallendbeen and district. Deceased married Miss Oriel Dacey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dacey of Wallendbeen, who are also links with the earliest settlers about there; and there are three daughters and a son. The latt??????????? old and eldest girl is 12. Brothers of the deceased are Steve (Cootamundra), ???????? Ken and Sid (Wallendbeen), Jim (Burrinjuck); sisters, May (Mrs. Roy Duffy, Cootamundra), Maude (Mrs. Len Troy, Lake Cargelligo), Emma (Mrs. George Ceeney, Wallendbeen), Eliza (Mrs. Geo. Adams, Taralga, Vic. and Ivy (Mrs. Geo. Mayne, Wallendbeen). The Cootamundra Coroner (Mr. J. T. Kenehan), after formalities this morning, fixed the inquest for next Tuesday. The interment took place in the Anglican cemetery at Wallendbeen this afternoon, following a service in the church. | Loiterton, William Thomas (I1100)

| 62 | Fatal Accident Near Yass We regret to state that on last Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Thomas James, proprietor of the North Yass Hotel, was thrown from a horse he was riding, and died shortly afterwards. The deceased was one of the aldermen for O'Brien Ward, and was much respected by a large circle of acquaintances. Much sympathy is felt for the widow and family of eight children, the youngest an infant. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, and was very numerously attended. The hearse was preceded by a large number of the members of the Yass Oddfellows Lodge, with their large banner in front draped in crepe. After the coffin, about thirty vehicles and over fifty horsemen, &c., followed. An inquest was held on Wednesday, and we append the evidence taken:- Jeremiah Spearing deposed: I am a labourer, and reside near Yass; yesterday I saw the deceased going out to Mr. McGrath's Telegraph Inn, about three miles from Yass, in a vehicle; about two o'clock on the same day I noticed Mr. Denis McNamara going in the same direction; I was at the time at the back of Mr. Hannon's Carriers' Arms Inn; about four o'clock I heard a horse galloping past rather quickly; I looked along the road and noticed a man on horseback; I did not recognise who he was; I could see by his manner of riding that he was under the influence of liquor; he rode some distance, almost falling from the horse, and I then watched him until he fell; this occurred on the Yass side of Jones's Creek bridge; I then procured a horse and galloped up to where the accident occurred; I took hold of the deceased and asked him if he was hurt; I had then recognised him as Thomas James; He made no answer; There was a cart passing at the time, and with the assistance of the driver I placed deceased in it, and conveyed him to his own dwelling; immediately afterwards a messanger was sent to Yass for a doctor; I then went to meet the doctor; he told me to procure some leeches; I did so; on my return the doctor told me there was no hope of deceased recovering; the deceased was insensible from the time I picked him up until his death; which took place almost immediately after I returned with the leeches. Charles Smith deposed: I reside in North Yass; about four o'clock yesterday afternoon I went down to Jones's Creek after my horses, and as I was going along, Thomas James galloped past and said "good day"; I was near Jones's Creek, on the main road, when this happened; deceased then hit the horse with a whip, the horse went to one side and deceased leant on its neck and then fell off; a woman came up, and she told me to stop there while she went up and told Mrs. James; Jerry Spearing then came along and picked up deceased; there was a spring-cart near, and the deceased was placed in it; the spring-cart was then driven to deceased's residence; after he was taken into the house I saw no more of him; deceased did not speak or move in my presence after the accident. To a juryman: I think deceased was a little groggy, when he spoke to me. Dr. Perry deposed: I am a legally qualified medical practitioner, and reside in Yass; I have seen the body of the deceased; yesterday evening about four o'clock I was requested to come to North Yass to see Thomas James and was informed that he had had a fall from his horse; I went to his residence to see him and found him in a dying state; he was quite insensible, and unable to swallow; on examination I found bruises about his face and forehead; he was also bleeding from both ears; his pulse was beating very feebly; he slightly inspired twice and then died, within a very few minutes of my first seeing him; I sent for leeches and was prceeding to do what was necessary, but he died before anything could be done; I believe his death was caused by fracture to base of the skull, the result of a fall from a horse. The jury returned the latter part of the doctor's evidence as their verdict. | James, Thomas Edward (I1175)

| 63 | Fifty years down memory lane Boorowa couple celebrates golden wedding Jack Wales, a former shearer and long time union member, tallies up a special golden fifty on April 10 when he celebrates his fiftieth wedding anniversary. For he and his wife Sylvia it will be a golden trip down memory lane Fifty years ago in the tiny stone Anglican church at Bevandale near Gunning, NSW Laural Wales, shearer, better known to his family and friends as Jack, married the daughter of a well known family in the district, Miss Sylvia Gorham. When the marriage pledges were made and the "I do's" completed the couple with their small gathering of family and friends went back to Jack's fathers' nearby property, "Killarney" for the traditional reception. "Killarney" has long since gone but not so the memories. And one special memory Jack and Sylvia have is of their wedding cake. Its centrepiece was a basket. Sylvia has kept it throughout the fifty years of her marriage, stored safely in an airtight glass jar. Now, on the couples' golden anniversary, it will again take pride of place in the centre of her wedding anniversary cake. Eight children Fifty years of marriage brought Jack and Svlvia eight children - Dawn (Mrs Barton), George, John (Snow), Ron (deceased), Kevin, Leon, Graham and Raymond plus 15 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. They plan a big luncheon party in the Boorowa Ex Servicemen's Club and expect over 70 family and friends will join in the celebration. Jack and Sylvia enjoy relatively good health for their age. Now almost 79, Jack is an avid card player and Sylvia who turns 70 in August still takes up her knitting needle and handicrafts in spite of her now failing eyesight. AWU ticket collection Over the years Jack has become a collector of union tickets. His own membership tickets cover a continuous membership period of over fifty years and another dated 1905-06 was given to him by the late Bill Bush. That ticket cost its original owner ten shillings! Jack's shearing days in the 30's and 40's brought him in contact with many a colourful character and he can relate with glee some of the sagas associated with the days of Ted Healy, of union politics and union meetings where members arrived by bus loads to support their chosen candidate. As a local union representative Jack went to all the union meetings and conferences and he will talk at length about personalities such as "Pump-handle" Owens who cycled his bike round the west shaking hands with everyone he met as he went about the business of signing up members. The AWU Jack says is a good clean union and he'll vouch for the fact that it does a lot to help its members. The Union helped him sort out a compensation claim after he was injured at work many years ago. Jack was only 14 when he first joined the AWU in 1922. In those days he was only a rouseabout at "Coree" at Jerilderie but five years later he was a fully fledged shearer and well and truly settled into his new trade. During his shearing days he shore throughout the outback and southern Queensland but Boorowa was always home base. He has lived in the district for 49 years and moved into town about twenty years ago after he sold his small property. But this year it will be the year 1937 that will be most in Jack's mind . . . that day fifty years ago when Jack the shearer married Sylvia in the little stone church at Bevandale.

| 64 | Fire at Yass. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) YASS, Monday. THE stables of Mr. James Mote, of the Yass Hotel, were destroyed by fire this morning. Constable Whalley who was doing duty gave the alarm at 2 o'clock, and a number of persons assembled at the scene of the fire and worked admirably to keep it from spreading. Had the flames caught any of the premises in the immediate vicinity nothing could have saved the properties between Rossi and Mehan streets, on the east side of Cooma street. A calf was burnt, also quantity of hay and harness. About 1 cwt of powder, stored in Mr. Yeo's powder magazine, which is only 3ft from the stables, was carefully removed. The property destroyed is insured for about ?200. Sub-inspector Brennan, with constables Whalley and O'Leary, rendered valuable assistance. | Mote, James Frederick (I18)

| 65 | Four Generations Together For Gwen Brown's 80th Birthday Family members spanning four generations converged on Young last Wednesday to celebrate Gwen Brown's 80th birthday. People travelled from Melbourne, Gosford, Cootamundra and from just down the road to share this special day with Gwen. Gwen was born in the small village of Brawlin, near Cootamundra. When she was four years old her family moved to Young where her parents established the family home in Whiteman Avenue. When she left school at 14 she began working at Gilpin's store in Young. On Boxing day in 1934 she married Ted Brown, who she has shared the last 63 years with. Their first home together was an original two roomed hut on Ted's family property, "Trafalgar", three miles from Young. Later they moved to a property near Back Creek Road where they started a farm. In 1956 the couple decided to leave the land and moved into Young to run a corner store where the Caltex service station is today, on the corner of Boorowa and Zouch Streets. During her time in Young, Gwen has been an active member of the community. She has been part of the Young Women's Bowling Club, Young Garden Club, Probus Club, Neighbourhood Watch, Tidy Towns, and the Young Veteran and Vintage Car Club. As well as all this, Gwen had the time to raise four daughters and enjoy watching 11 grand children and 16 great grand children grow. | Aspland, Clarice Gwendoline (I77)

| 67 | From Pte. George Mutch. We are at present quartered in the camp of the Royal Flying Corps, but expect to be shifted any time. All the different trades are split up here and sent to different parts of England to complete their train ing, prior to being sifted up for serviee. The wireless operators stay in Farnborough for their course and will be quartered at Blen heim Barracks for instruction. These barracks are only about a quarter of a mile from our present camp, and are fine, large buildings. This dis trict is and has been for years the training grounds of the British Army, and the whole district is no thing but large brick barracks, which for years have formed the homes of the British regulars. Am sure you have heard and read of Aldershot. It has been computed that at pre sent there must be upwards of 200,000 British Tommies here, and we are the only Australians. At pre sent there are also a couple of thou sand of U.S.A. troops hereabouts, but understand they leave for France almost immediately. See plenty of flying here, though this is not a flying school, but the Royal Aircraft factory is here, and every machine built at these works is test ed before leaving. They have a new machine which they call the S.E 5 just out a little while. Birds abso lutely could not do the things that are done in this bus. It travels up to about 170 miles an hour, and flies in all sorts of styles. I admit I never saw flying in Australia. They rock here all over the place, and drop down from all heights any where at all. The stunts they do with them you would think wero ab solutely impossible. Looping the loop is simply child's play. Imagine one travelling along rolling over side to side, planes or wing, or what ever you like to call them, revolving like a cart wheel, or look up at one and see it coming down nose first, absolutely perpendicular, doing the same motion, and rocking about like a falling leaf, excepting that the wings are edge on to you instead of flat. I know its hnrd to imagine do ing these things. They climb up much faster than any bird up to an eagle. This forms the way to another stunt. They will start climbing, then elevate the plane to nearly the vertical, which, of coarse, is too much, and the engine cannot keep that up. The machine gradually loses way and stops. Then it falls all sorts of fashions, perhap a couple of thouand feet, then away they go. Some machines and some pilots, too, I can tell you. Have had a fair run around since coming here. Taken altogether, have had a much more pleasant time than I expected, and I have been treated very well ever since we arrived. Considering that we hear, such a noise about the short- age of food in England we cannot growl at the treatment received in that direction. Certainly nothing more is wasted than can be helped, but take the following as our average day's meals: Breakfast, 6.30, porridge, bacon or rissoles, with two slices of bread and margarine; dinner, pea soup, cold roast beef, potatoes and marrow, or French beans, and pickles, custard and prunes, or other small fruit, with half slice of bread. Sometimes puddings, otherwise known as ''sinkers," sometimes rice. 4.30, tea; Two sliccs of bread and jam, sometimes so called cakes, three times a week, cold meat or ham, with greens or tomatoes, and tea. (Note only tea once a day.) Even though at times, the cooking is very indifferent, one can hardly growl. Some do, though. They don't use white flour here. Bread, biscuits, cakes, etc., are all made with the brown stuff, and no thing is particularly tasty, though, no doubt, wholesome. Sugar is fair ly scarce and costs about 1/ lb, jam is not plentiful. Chocolates and sweets are a devil of a price. To bacco is about twice the price it is in Australia. Matches are a penny a box, and dashed hard to get at that. The war hasn't had near the effect on the country I expected, and everyone here is optimistic regard ing the outcome of the struggle, and the general impression is it will not last longer than six to twelve months more. One could hardly be anything else than an optimist here, seeing the masses of war material and munitions kicking about to spare and hearing from the hundreds that return from the front the reports that all is going well. | Mutch, George Edmund (I1115)

| 70 | GENERAL SIR MARTIN FARNDALE General Sir Martin Farndale, KCB, C-in-C BAOR and Commander Northern Army Group, 1985-87, was born on January 6, 1929. He died on May 10 aged 71 MARTIN FARNDALE might well have become the Chief of General Staff - the professional head of the Army - if timings had fitted better and if the Falklands campaign of 1982 had not swung defence thinking away from its over-emphasis upon European defence towards the greater likelihood of threats arising outside the Nato area. The latter half of Farndale's career had been centred almost exclusively upon the British Army of the Rhine. He commanded in succession its 7th Armoured Brigade, 2nd Armoured Division, 1st British Corps and finally, in 1985, BAOR and Northern Army Group, giving him a European Central Front bias at a time when rapid reaction forces for worldwide deployment were coming into vogue. Martin Baker Farndale was born in Alberta, Canada, of Yorkshire parentage and brought up and educated back in Yorkshire at Yorebridge School. He was just too young to see service in the Second World War, but joined the Indian Army in 1946. After Indian Independence in 1947, he transferred to the British Army and was sent to Sandhurst, which had just reopened as the Royal Military Academy. He was commissioned into the Royal Regiment of Artillery in 1948. Farndale was rather a private person with the single-mindedness of purpose and professional integrity needed for a successful military career. He was always "on duty" in both an intellectual and military sense, and although he was punctilious about military niceties he was, paradoxically, relaxed and approachable with a typical Yorkshire forthrightness. These qualities made him immensely respected and liked throughout the Army. His hallmarks were enthusiasm for the matter in hand and avoidance of self-advertisement. He was, indeed, a generous, humane and caring man with more than a touch of humility. He started his military career in the 80th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment in the Suez Canal Zone, but his command abilities were soon recognised with his selection for the elite Royal Horse Artillery. He joined 1st Regiment RHA in 1950 with which he was to serve on and off for the next twenty-one years. During his first tour he was in E and then B Batteries in BAOR. His abilities as a potential staff officer were equally quickly recognised when he was posted to the Royal Artillery Staff of 7th Armoured Division at Verden, Lower Saxony, in 1954. He went to the Staff College, Camberley, in 1959 after a spell with 53rd (Louisberg) Battery and as Adjutant of the 22nd Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment. At Camberley he showed himself to be exceptionally articulate, both verbally and on paper, with a sensible balanced approach and a nice sense of humour. He was perhaps disappointed not to get a General Staff appointment after graduating. Instead he was sent to the Gunner staff with 17th Gurkha Division in the Far East, where he saw active service during the final phases of the Malayan campaign. His first General Staff appointment came in 1963 when he served for two years in the Military Operations Directorate of the War Office and then the Ministry of Defence during the withdrawal from Empire of the mid-1960s, in which he was soon to be involved personally. He returned to 1st RHA in 1964 in command of the Chestnut Troop, which he took out to Aden for the Radfan campaign, fought in the arid mountains of the Protectorate. His outstanding abilities were recognised when he went back to the Staff College for three years as an instructor in 1966, and was then given command of 1st RHA in 1969. He had the unique distinction of being the first artillery commanding officer to take his regiment to Northern Ireland to serve as infantry on the streets of Belfast in the earliest years of the Troubles. Two years followed on the Defence Policy Staff in the Ministry of Defence while the Heath Government was trying unsuccessfully to reverse the British military cutbacks set in train by Denis Healey's defence reviews. In 1973 he was promoted to brigadier and started his rise to high command. His first major command was in Germany with 7th Armoured Brigade at Soltau in Lower Saxony. His easy fluency with the press and media led to him becoming a highly successful Director of the Army's Public Relations before he was promoted major-general as the Director of Military Operations from 1978 to 1980 during the final phases of the guerrilla campaign in Rhodesia in the aftermath of Ian Smith's unilateral declaration of independence. He was largely responsible for setting up the British Monitoring Force, which helped to end the guerrilla war and to bring about an independent Zimbabwe. He was back in BAOR commanding, in succession, and without any further breaks away on the Staff: 2nd Armoured Division, 1981-83; 1st British Corps, 1983-85; and finally Northern Army Group and BAOR, 1985-87. He became very much a Nato man, and was widely respected in international military circles for his deep understanding of continental warfare as it might have been fought in the 1980s. He was appointed CB in 1980 and KCB in 1983. Farndale retired from the Army in January 1988 and took up a number of appointments connected with the armaments industry. Since 1988 he had been a defence adviser to Deloitte Touche, and he was also a consultant to Somerset-based Westland Helicopters, 1989-95. He was also a very active chairman of the Royal United Services Institution. His principal hobby was writing definitive histories of the Royal Artillery to which he was devoted: His History of the Royal Artillery, France, 1914-18 was published in 1987 and his History of the Royal Artillery; The Forgotten Fronts and the Home Base, 1914-18, in 1988. He was also the author of volume V of The History of the Royal Artillery in the Second World War (The Years of Defeat, 1939-41) which appeared in 1996, and of volume VI (The Far East Theatre, 1941-46), which will be published posthumously. He was thus a happy choice as Master Gunner of St James's Park, the honorary appointment that he assumed in November 1988 as well as being Colonel Commandant of the RHA, Honorary Colonel of 1st Regiment RHA and of the 3rd Battalion, the Yorkshire Volunteers - his home county - and Colonel Commandant of the Army Air Corps. From 1989 Farndale championed the Royal Artillery Museum Project to create a new museum in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich to house the vast regimental collection of guns, medals, books and archives. He became president and later chairman of the project, and it was through his inspiration, leadership and his abundant reserves of forceful energy that money was raised from a variety of sources: the regiment itself, industry, individual benefactors, trusts and national funds. He lived to see the start of the building programme which is scheduled to culminate in the opening of the new museum in May next year. In 1955 he married Margaret Anne Buckingham. They had one son, who followed his father into the Royal Artillery. Both wife and son survive him | Farndale, General, Sir Martin Baker KCB (I16579)

| 71 | GUNNING .............. I regret to have to state that Mr. Joseph Bean junior of the Frankfield Hotel had a rather narrow escape yesterday, Sunday. Mr. Bean was out riding a splendid horse. He was thrown from the horse, and had it not been that he fell partly on his back, he must have broken his collar-bone or dislocated his arm. Mr. Bean is, greatly bruised; and is also very much hurt inwardly. .............. I learn from Dr. Hunter, who is attending Mr. Bean, that the nature of the injuries are such that Mr. B. will have to be cautious in his movements for some time to come. | Bean, Joseph (I2443)

| 77 | GUNNING. (From Our Correspondent.) It is with feelings of regret that I record the death of Mr. Joseph Bean, for some years past a resident of this town and district. He had been in very indifferent health for years. Latterly becoming much worse he removed to Sydney for further medical attention, and there he died, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Bishop, of Eveleigh, at the age of 59 years. For many years his father kept the Frankfield Hotel, which was well known, as a stopping place on the road to Goulburn, about four miles distant from here. After that an hotel, which was burnt down, was erected on the site, of the present Frankfield Hotel, now occupied by Mrs. McCabe. The subject of this notice was engaged in the cor dial manufacturing for some time in the old premises, but his failing health, compelled him to seek rest, and he came to reside in Gunning until a few weeks ago. Deceased was buried in Sydney. | Bean, Joseph (I2443)

| 78 | GUNNING. Friday. At a sale of town allotments to-day, the principal blocks, near railway station, were purchased by Mr. Joseph Bean, who bought one allot- ment near railway gates for ?86. | Bean, Joseph (I833)
|
| 79 | GUNNING. (From our Correspondent.) THE remains of the late Mr. Joseph Bean, of Frankfield, were interred in the Gunning cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock. The deceased gentleman has been a great sufferer for nearly four years; nearly all the medical men in the district and several of the profession in Sydney were consulted in the case. Deceased was an old resident in the district, and highly respected by all classes of the community. Throughout his long and painful illness he was regularly attended by the Rev. G. Kingsmill, incumbent of St. Edmund's, Gunning; and the number that attended the funeral was a convincing proof of the high estimation in which he was held by all who knew him. Deceased was in his sixty first year. Jan. 12th, 1884. | Bean, Joseph (I833)
|
| 80 | GUNNING. On Tuesday evening last, at the mutual improve ment class, the debate on the Abolition of Capital Punishment was postponed for a month on account of the paucity of members present. Serious Accident.-On Monday last Mrs. Bean of the Frankfileld Hotel, Gunning, met with a very nasty accident, which might have proved fatal. It appears that her nephew was in the bar serving customers, and having occasion to go down the cellar, which is about ten feet deep, he locked the door between the back parlour and the bar, which is a usual thing to do in case of anyone coming into the bar while the cellar was open and falling into it; but being busy serving, and Mrs. Bean having oc- casion to go into the bar and finding the door locked, she called hes nephew, who forgetting the cellar was open, opened the door and Mrs. Bean walking in and going in the direction of the cellar accidently fell into it, receiving a most dreadful shaking and some nasty bruises. Considering that Mrs. Bean is an elderly lady, it is a marvellous thing that such a fall did not end in the loss of her life. In falling she came in contact with a large cask, which must have broken her fall in some degree. Dr. Hunter was immediately called in, who attended the sufferer, and we are glad to state that she is now as well as can be expected. | McConville, Sarah (I888)

| 87 | INSOLVENCY MEETING Tuesday, August 12 Before Mr A Money Fisher, District Commissioner A special meeting was held in the insolvent estate of Henry Augustus James for the examination of witnesses.

(List attached and marked A.) The following conversation passed between insolvent and myself:- I saw a dray standing close to the house, and I asked him where the harness was; he replied, "The dray is not mine, nor is the harness, neither are the three horses, they all belong to a party named Michael Whalen;" Whalen was present at the time; the insolvent said that in June 1882, Whalen lent him ?30 to purchase the horses, dray and harness; the money was to have been paid at the end of six months; about January 1883, I could not pay the ?30 to Whalen, and I gave Whalen a receipt for the horses, dray and harness, in consideration of Whalen foregoing the payment of the ?30; I noticed that the name H A James, Hard's Flat, had been recently partially erased from the dray; the erasing of the name must have been recently done, as I noticed it was on the dray during the present year; I have seen the name on the dray within the last three months; the farm occupied by insolvent contains I believe about 75 acres; insolvent told me the farm was freehold; about 30 acres of the land are under crop; the crop is for hay; I asked insolvent if the crop was his; he said, "No, I did not intend to put in a crop this year and Whalen said he would put the land under crop;" I asked insolvent if Whalen was to give him any consideration for the use of the land; he (insolvent (replied "No"; insolvent is a married man, and has four or five children; I believe insolvent has no other means of supporting his family except by his farm; he also brought wood into Yass with his team; insolvent told me that the farm belonged to his wife by a deed of gift, and that he had no interest in the land; he also said that after his wife's death the land went to his daughter, and then to his son; he said the deed was in the possession of Mr Iceton, Solicitor, of Yass; after the attaching of the horses and dray, I received a protest from Whalen, who claimed them; (Letter attached and marked B); I have realised a portion of the assetsof the estate, amounting to ?7-13-0; the protest marked B is in my handwriting: I wrote it at the dictation of Whalen, and read it over to him, and he signed it.

| 89 | It's been a long, long road for Walter By David Uren Mr Walter Oakley drives a vintage car and rides a 50-year-old bicycle. He's not a collector. It's just that he has had them both for a very long time. Mr Oakley is 90. His wife is also 90. She does not mind him riding a bike but she is not too keen about him driving. "But I don't nag him and he doesn't drive too fast," she said. "I got my licence in 1908," said Mr Oakley. "To get it I just rode my motorcycle into the Camperdown police station and the policeman said he supposed I could drive and gave me a licence for half a crown." Present day drivers? "I suppose they're all right but a lot of the young ones like to show off a bit," he said. "I'm still fit," said Mr Oakley. "I suppose it's because I've been contented - and I have a good wife." "And another reason is that the pubs wouldn't exist if they depended upon us," added Mrs Oakley. "We're good old Methodist church-goers," she said. "We haven't had a lot of pennies but we've been happy and contented." | Oakley, Walter (I213)

| 90 | James Brogan and his wife Ellen Horan whom he married in 1815, lived on five acres of rented land in Cappabane. In the adjoining townland of Shean lived Anthony Boland who had fourteen acres of rented land. In the townland of Fossabeg lived Daniel Dinan who rented a few acres in common with nine others. Across the river Bow in the townland of Magherareagh lived Patrick Durack and his wife Judith Bleach. This man was an uncle of Michael Durack ancestor of the Duracks of "Kings in Grass Castles " fame. For some unexplained reason he was never mentioned in Dame Mary Durack's best seller, first published in 1959. In the townland of Sellernane , Mountshannon lived Patrick O'Dea and his wife. His subsequent actions were to change the lives of the above forever.Philip Reade, of Woodpark, owned half the parish of Mountshannon and was also a successful barrister. He had a magnificent country house with landscaped gardens overlooking Holy Island and Lough Derg. He was by all accounts a benevolent landlord, particularly in later years during the Great Hunger. On St Patrick's night 1824, Brogan, Durack, Dinan, Boland, O'Dea and one Patrick Tuohy, for some unexplained reason broke into Philip Reade's house with the sole intention of murdering him. They shot him in the chest and shoulder and presumed he was dead. For months Philip Reade lay dangerously ill while the best surgeons in the country attended him. The military and yeomanry scoured the countryside for his attackers and offered fifty pounds for information. No one in this part of the country was more despised than the informer and no one more deserving of the curse "may the hearthstone of hell be your bed forever." For two years the search continued until finally one of the party Patrick O'Dea informed the authorities. There was a lot of interest in the trial but still no motive was given or at least reported. Patrick O'Dea stated that it was James Brogan who set it up and to divert suspicion they pretended to quarrel in the ensuing weeks. O'Dea was to accuse Brogan of having an affair with his wife, and this would prevent the neighbours from having any suspicions. No witness was called for the defence and after about twenty minutes the jury returned with a guilty verdict. The judge with spine chilling solemnity then said "You James Brogan, Patrick Durack, Anthony Boland, and Patrick Tuohy are to be taken from hence, to the place from whence you came and from thence to the place of execution and there you are to hang by the necks until you are dead - and may God almighty have mercy on your souls" A few days before the intended execution they were all reprieved. No reason was given and they were sent as convicts to New South Wales. On Tuesday May 28th 1827 under strong escort they passed through Ennis on their way to the hulk "Surprise", lying at anchor at the cove of Cork. | Brogan, James (I39666)

| 92 | Last Member of Birregurra Pioneer Family Passing of Mrs Anna M Parkinson With the death at Benalla on June 20 of Mrs Anna M Parkinson, the last remaining member of a pioneer Birregurra family passed. The late Mrs Parkinson was a daughter of the late William and Mary Martin who, with Mrs Martin's parents, Matthew and Hannah Farndale, came to Australia in 1853 and settled in a property near Birregurra on the Warncoort road. For many years the home and orchard "Hawthorne" was a well-known landmark, but was destroyed by the fire of 1901. Several ancient trees, including a cypress and a hawthorne hedge, still mark the spot, though all traces of the house have gone. There was a family of five girls and three boys. The first break occurred in 1943 when William J M Martin died, aged 82 years. At that time the average age of the eight was 80 years and nine months. The late Mrs Parkinson taught school at Warncoort nearly 80 years ago and subsequently at Gerangamete. She married the late W T Parkinson nearly 70 years ago and resided for many years at Portland, where he was practising his profession as a dentist. There were no children of the marriage. Upon her husband's death about 30 years ago, Mrs Parkinson went to live with her sister at Camperdown and later resided at Rushworth. Until less than a year ago, she was in full possession of the faculties and corresponded regularly with relatives and friends. She sustained a broken leg some time ago and never fully recovered. She was highly esteemed by those who knew her, but her circle of acquantances had naturally become limited by the passage of the years. The interment took place in the Warncoort cemetery on June 22 in the presence of her immediate relatives. The service was conducted by the Rev H Small. In the Warncoort cemetery are the graves of the late Mrs Parkinson's parents and her grandparents, Matthew and Hannah Farndale. The late Mr Farndale died at the age of 90 years in 1884 and his wife was 85 when she died in 1892. Mrs Parkinson's mother was 91 when she died; one sister was 95; another 92; another was 84. The youngest died at the age of 77. The men of the family did not live to such a great age, the oldest being 89 when he died; the others were 82 and 83 respectively. It is interesting to record that the late Mr Farndale was closely associated with the development of the Methodist Church in the district and took a very active part in the work during his long life. He was a member of an old Yorkshire family, and a descendant, Dr W E Farndale, who was president of the English Methodist Conference in 1947 and was in 1950 Moderator of the Free Church Federal Council in England. Other members of the family still live in Yorkshire, where there is a village named Farndale. | Martin, Anna Maria (I126)

| 93 | LATE MR. CHAS LOITERTON One of the largest funerals in Cootamundra was that of yesterday, when the remains of the late Mr. C. Loiterton, aged 88, were laid to rest in the Methodist portion of the Cootamundra cemetery. Rev. W. L. I. Arnold (Presbyterian) who conducted the funeral service (Rev. J. H. Sorrell was away at the Methodist conference), made kindly references to the deceased as one who had a fine Christian character; and judging by the very large gathering at the funeral, he was held in the highest esteem. The clergyman went on to speak to the text, "Let not your heart be troubled." As the disciples experi- enced a sorrowful time when, for the last time, they met the Master, so this parting was a sad experience for the many relatives of the late Mr. Loiterton. His hospitality to many had been appreciated, and this was greatly reciprocated by deceased, and especially in the days of his sickness. His death was the glorious sunset of a noble life. It had been a privilege to visit him during the past week and learn of his mind with regard to spiritual realities. Now he was Safe in the arms of Jesus; Safe on His gentle breast; There, by His love o'ershadower, Sweetly his soul doth rest. | Loiterton, Charles (I501)

| 94 | LAWLER -SHEATIIER A pretty wedding was celebrated at St. Saviour's Cathedral, Goulburn, on Friday, January, 25, at 7 p.m. when Rita Mary, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Sheather, of Landsdowne Estate, Goulburn, was married to Hillary Joseph Lawler, elder son of Mrs. M. E. Lawler and the late Mr. P. J. Lawler, also of Lansdowne Estate. Rev. N. Edwards performed the ceremony. The bride entered the church with her father, who gave her away. She made a charming picture in her frock of white cloque and hand embroidered veil held in place with a coronet of orange blossom. Her sheaf consisted of white gladioli. The bridegroom's sister, Mrs. M. Kelly, was matron of honour and looked charming in a blue crepe georgette frock. Her head dress was of blue net and she carried a sheaf of pink gladioli. The bridegroom's friend, Mr. Leslie Crisp, was best man. The reception was held at the home of the bride's parents where the bride's mother assisted by the bridegroom's mother received 30 guests. Mrs. Sheather chose a frock of pink crepe with a shoulder spray of frangipanni and the bridegroom's mother wore a frock of navy crepe and a shoulder spray of frangipanni. Mr. and Mrs. Lawler will make their future home in Goulburn. | Family F9719

| 96 | LOITERTON - PALMER On Friday evening, 26th Novembe, at Christ Church, Cootamundra, the marriage was solemnised of Mavis, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Palmer, and Clinton, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Lolterton, both of Cootamundra. The bride is serving with the A.I.F. (Cpl., A.A.M.W.S), and the bridegroom with the R.A.A.F. (LAC., medical section). The bride, who was given away by her father, wore an elegant frock of white satin, cut with a full train, and her mother's wedding veil, and carried a bouquet of November lilies. Her two bridesmaids were her sisters Betty and Gwen, who wore green taffeta frocks, and carried bouquets of pink sweet peas. The bridegroom was attended by P/O R. Gehrig and F/Sgt. B. Farrell. The service was sung by Christ, Church Choir, and Mrs. Crowe was organist. The celebrant of the marriage was Rev. Harold Palmer (Chaplain, A.I.F.), the bride's brother. Members of the choir and Cootamundra V.As. formed a guard of honour. The wedding had been planned for mid-December, but had to be hastily arranged when the bridegroom's leave was altered. The bride's mother was called, away urgently two days earlier, because of her brother's serious illness. For this reason, the reception as planned was not held, but a few friends gathered at the bride's home after the ceremony. After a brief honeymoon at Katoomba, the bride and groom will return to their units. | Family F951

| 97 | MAGISTERIAL INQUIRY AT COLLECTOR On Wednesday evening Mr O'Brien, coroner, received a report from Collector that Mrs Margaret Cahill, a widow living alone near that place and an old resident of the district, had been found in her house. As there were some appearances leading to the supposition that the place had been ransacked and this gave rise to suspicions of foul play, it was deemed necessary to hold a magisterial inquiry,- which was done yesterday by Mr O'Brien accordingly. Evidence, which conclusively proved that death proceeded from natural causes and that th suspicions of foul play were unfounded, was adduced as follows; Bridget McInerney of the Collector Hotel sister of the deceased, deposed that deceased was born in County Clare, Ireland; she was a widow, and was, witness believed, 72 years of age; witness had heard her say she had suffered from a water-flush, but with that exception she had good health; some years ago she complained an consulted a doctor in Goulburn; witness had not seen her since the beginning of the year; she lived alone she possessed some horses and cattle; witness was present when the police found the body, and noticed the bedroom of the deceased; clothes were thrown about the floor ; but witness thought deceased had done it herself; they were dirty clothes; deceased had no valuables in the house that the witness was aware of; witness had been in the habit of assisting her with cash; at one time she said that she would come down to live with them, and then she said that she preferred to live alone; she had left 5 children, all married and grown up.

Supreme Court on May 12, by Mr. T. Brooke, S.M., at the Canberra Court of Petty Sessions yesterday on a charge of assaulting a young married woman, at Braddon on April 19, with intent to commit a serious offence. The Police Prosecutor (Sgt. H. Grangell) asked the magistrate to direct that the names of female witnesses should not be published, but the magistrate replied that he had no power to make such a direction. A married woman of Wise Street, Braddon, said that about 10.30 p.m. on April 19, she was in the kitchen of her home when she heard some- one come to the door. She looked up the hallway and saw a man going towards her bedroom. She identified the defendant as the man who entered her house. Witness told the intruder to "get out" and he walked toward the door. She pushed the man towards the door and then ran to a neighbour's house for assistance. "He was sober. He went too silently and too quickly to be anything but sober," she con- cluded. Robert Bertram Mutch, of Ipima Street, Braddon, said that at 10.25 p.m. he saw a man leaning against a wall near his house. He directed him to Civic Centre.

After the police arrived he saw the man and chased and caught him. Another witness, a young married woman of Braddon, said that after she had gone to bed on Saturday, April 19, she heard a noise under the bedroom window. A few minutes later, she saw a man coming down the hallway near the kitchen. Witness said that the man caught hold of her and placed his hands around her throat. She continued to struggle and could feel the grip of his hands tightening. While struggling, she scratched him on the face. The assailant moved back and witness brought her foot up and kicked him in the face. He fell back on the other bed and she ran out to the kitchen, where a further struggle took place. Witness went to a neighbour's house for protection and the man ran away. Dr. B. W. Monaghan said that at 12.5 a.m. on April 20, he examined the young married woman and found her suffering from shock and nervous tension. She had bruises and abrasions on the back of both shoulders and on the arms. Constable McSperrin told how the defendant had been arrested. At the police station he replied that he "did not remember" when asked questions by Sergeant McKay and himself. Constable McSperrin said that the defendant was sober. | Mutch, Robert Bertram (I222)
