Doncaster Templestowe Historical Society: Family Notices in Newspapers Aug 1914

Need to find in trove and copy the Harvard citation to add to each entry:

e.g.

1998 'Financial boost for Yeshiva', The Australian Jewish News (Sydney, NSW : 1990 - 2008), 5 June, p. 11. , viewed 05 Jun 2021, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article261738460

These newspaper transcripts have been sourced from Trove a resource of the National Library of Australia.
They include as many items as I could find by searching on the names of the suburbs Doncaster (and therefore Doncaster East), Templestowe, Donvale and Bulleen.
In addition to Family Notices listings (births, engagements, marriages, deaths, funerals, in memoriam notices) I have added items from news and social pages of the newspapers (reports of engagements, weddings, wedding anniversaries, divorces, sudden deaths, inquests, wills & estates).
Some tips for searching:
The transcriptions on Trove are meant to be an exact rendition of the newspaper item. Names may have been misspelled in the newspaper or by the transcriber. Try a few alternatives before you give up.
Note that names beginning with Mc were often shown in the early newspapers beginning with M’ - hence M’Kay, rather than McKay.
If a marriage or death does not appear in the decade in which you know it should be try later decades.
Sometimes a later In Memoriam notices appears when there was no original death notice.
Sometimes a later Wedding Anniversary notice appears when the original wedding was not announced in the press.
Any notes that I have added to the text are shown thus: [There is a line missing at this point as the paper was creased before it was scanned.]
[sic] - indicates that the misspelling is what appeared in the original newspaper.
Where the scan of the newspaper is unclear it will be indicated thus: [?], [??], [189?] or [home?] – the latter being the best guess at what the word may have been.
If the name of the suburb did not appear in the original newspaper announcement then I am unlikely to have found it.
Trove is an excellent resource for your family history search. New material is being added there from time to time. I highly recommend that you continue your own search there.

WEDDING BELLS. HEITSCH - HODGSON.

The marriage of Mr. Ernest A. Heitsch, of Templestowe, and Miss Ellen Flora, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hodgson, of "Glen Farm," Templestowe, was celebrated by the Rev. Mr. Petersen on Wednesday, October 14, at Christ Church, Templestowe, which was prettily decorated by the friends of the bride and bridegroom. The bride entered the church with her father, who subsequently gave her away. She wore a dainty dress of cream voile, and beautiful silk Oriental trimming, the customary wreath and veil and shower bouquet of white roses and asparagus fern, and wore the bridegroom's gift, a gold brooch. The Misses Bessie and Amy Hodgson attended their sister as bridesmaids, the former wearing a pretty frock of cream corded silk, cream hat with blue flowers, bouquet of blue forget-me-nots, with blue streamers, and wearing the bridegroom's gift, a gold pendant. The latter, who is a wee lassie, was attired in an embroidered muslin dress, with floral silk hat and sash, carried a bouquet of lilac and roses, and also wearing a gift of the bridegroom's, a gold wishbone brooch. Mr. C. Johnston carried out the duties of best man.

After the ceremony, a reception was held at "Glen Farm," the residence of the bride's parents, where the wedding breakfast was served. The loyal toast was first proposed by Mr. Petersen, after which the guests rose and sang the National Anthem. He next proposed in a happy speech the toast of the bride and bridegroom, to which the bridegroom appropriately responded. Rev. Petersen then called on Cr. F. McNamara, who proposed the health of the parents of the bride and bridegroom in felicitous terms. Mr. Hodgson suitably responded. Mr. George Hodgson proposed the bridesmaids, and Mr. C. Johnston responded on their behalf. Dancing and games were indulged in, also an enjoyable programme of songs and recitations, and it was in the "wee sma' hours" that the guests at last departed, after having spent a most enjoyable evening. The many beautiful and costly presents received by the young couple testified to their popularity.

DIAMOND WEDDING.

On the 21st November, 1854, at Doncaster, Victoria, by the Rev. M. Joethe, Johann Friedrich Walther, was married to Catherine Straube. The celebration of a diamond nuptial jubilee is a privilege so rarely conceded that the numerous descendants of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Walther, Murtoa, assembled from all parts of the Commonwealth on Saturday evening last to do honor to their venerable parents, grand parents, and great grand parents upon their achievement of this distinction. The event was celebrated in the Murtoa Mechanics' Institute. The Rev. Pastor Hiller, who presided at the wedding breakfast, speaking on the words of the psalmist ' " This is the day the Lord has made," referred to the munificence of blessings, both spiritual and temporal, received by the aged couple during their long matrimonial partnership. He paid a high tribute to Mr. Walther's long and honorable career, both as private and State school teacher - indeed he was one of the very first teachers appointed by the State, and before arriving in Murtoa was a teacher in Melbourne - and to the value of his contribution to the cause of education therein, as also to the value of both Mr. and Mrs. Walther's services as prominent and active members of the local Lutheran Church. An historic sketch of the parents' career by the eldest son, Mr. John Walther, of Nhill, gave an idea of the amount of hardship some of the early pioneers encountered. During the evening the gathering was treated to a most enjoyable and varied musical programme, contributed exclusively by the grandchildren of the celebrants, and which evidenced the liberality with which the mantle of Mr. Walther's musical genius had been bestowed upon his descendants. To him their efforts must have been especially gratifying seeing that many of the performers owed their musical knowledge to his able training. Quite a sheaf of congratulatory telegrams from all parts of Australia, which were read at the gathering, testified to the widespread popularity of the " happy couple."

DEATH OF A PIONEER. - From our Mt. Evelyn Correspondent.

Mr Charles Baker, one of our first selectors, passed away recently, after an illness of over nine months, at the age of 64 years. Mr Baker was born at Doncaster, and his parents afterwards removed to Hawthorn. Forty years ago the family settled near the Olinda Creek, about a mile and a half from Lilydale, and young Charles adopted the trade of a carpenter. Twenty-five years ago he took up a selection on the Settlement road, and married Miss Annie Smith, of Brunswick, and there added farming pursuits to his trade. He did a considerable amount of building work, being employed in that capacity for many years by Mr David Mitchell, of Cave Hill. Seven years ago Mr Baker sold out the Settlement farm, and with his wife and family went upon his selection at Mt. Evelyn, just near the Evelyn station. He has seen the district change from its wild, bushy condition to one of the most beautiful tourist resorts in Victoria. Mr Baker took part in all local functions for the benefit of the district, and gained for himself the name of a straightforward, honest man, whose word was as good as his bond. The deceased leaves a widow and two children - Mrs Fred. Bayless, of South Yarra, and Mr Henry George Baker, who resides with his mother. The funeral took place at the Lilydale cemetery, and was numerously attended by his old employers, relatives and friends, members of the Manchester Unity Lodge, Mt. Evelyn Progress Association and School Committee, and the trustees of the Mechanics' Institute. In connection with the latter, Mr Baker had proposed, when the material was purchased, to initiate a building bee, and push the construction so that the hall might be opened before the end of 1915.

Personal Particulars. Bugler L. Gates

Bugler Luther Gates (wounded) was born at Castlemaine, and is in his 20th year. His father, Mr. J. W. Gates, was associated with the military forces for a number of years, serving as armourer- sergeant in the Castlemaine corps (old 4th Battalion), and later as a sergeant in the Ballarat Battalion (old 7th). Luther joined the Boy Scouts when about 10 years of age, afterwards passing through the junior and senior cadets to the citizen forces, being a member of the 55th when war broke out. So keen was he on his drill that he would cycle in every drill night from Doncaster, where he was employed as a blacksmith. He was one of the first to volunteer, and when rejected because he was ¼in. short of the standard height, immediately re-volunteered as a bugler.

Found Dead.

On Saturday morning the dead body of William Shea, a well known grazier of Longford, was found in his domicile. The baker serving the deceased, finding that the bread left on his two previous calls had not been touched concluded that something was amiss, and interviewed Mr Dowd, a neighbor, who went to the deceased's place and found his dead body on the bed, the deceased having his clothes on. The police were immediately advised, and Constable Gray brought the body to the morgue. The deceased had been in bad health for some time and Dr Hagenauer furnished a death certificate. The body was interned in the Sale cemetery in the afternoon. The deceased left a will in favor of his nephew, a resident of Templestowe. - "Times."

A very pretty wedding was celebrated at Dandenong Church of Christ on Wednesday, May 10, the contracting parties being Miss Milly Buckley, only daughter of Mr. C. H. Buckley, and the late Mrs. Buckley, of Dandenong, to Mr. Jack Laurie, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. David Laurie, of Middleboro road, Box Hill, and grandson of the late Mr. Sydney Williams, of Doncaster. Rev. Mr. Eaton, of Dandenong, performed the ceremony. The bride, who was given away by her brother, looked charming in a handsome dress of white silk, trimmed with lace and seed pearls, and wore the customary wreath and veil. She also carried a shower bouquet of white azaleas and asparagus fern. As bridesmaid, Miss Annie Laurie (sister of bridegroom) was daintily attired in a frock of white silk and ninon, with mob cap to match, and she wore a necklet of amethysts, the gift of the bridegroom, and also carried a bouquet of pink roses and streamers. Mr. Barclay Laurie (brother of bridegroom) officiated as best man. After the ceremony, the wedding breakfast was served at Dandenong House, at which the usual toasts were honored. About 50 guests were present, and a very enjoyable evening was spent in games and dancing. During the evening Mr. and Mrs. Jack Laurie left for Melbourne. The bride's travelling dress was a brown cloth costume, with brown silk hat and mount en suite. The presents were both numerous and costly.

PRIVATE SYMONS OF DONCASTER DIES AT SEA.

Widespread regret was expressed all round the Doncaster district at the sad news received by cable on Wednesday, announcing the death at sea on May 29 of Private E. J. Symons, who prior to enlisting for active service had for years conducted the post office at Doncaster, and also carried on a news agency business and general store. He was well known and highly respected by a large circle of friends throughout the entire district, and his sudden demise came as a profound shock to his numerous acquaintances. The late Mr. Symons was a member of the first school committee in Doncaster, and the school flag flew half mast on Wednesday as a mark of respect to his memory.

Deep sympathy is felt for his widow and children. Private Symons sailed for Egypt a short time after going into camp here, and hoped to finish his military training there, where his business abilities would have made him a valuable helper, but the fates ruled otherwise.

DEATH OF MRS. HOWELL, DONCASTER EAST.

Deep regret was felt throughout the Doncaster district when it became known that Mrs. Howell, sen., of East Doncaster, had died on May 29, after a long and painful illness. The deceased lady was well known in the district, and was much a respected and valued member of St. John's church. It was largely through her efforts and liberality that St. John's church and parish hall were erected.

When the erection of the church was suggested, she gave the land on which the buildings stand, and in addition to liberal gifts from her own purse collected funds from friends in many places, even sending to Canada. The funeral took place on June 1. The first part of the Church of England service was conducted by the vicar (Rev. R. A. Blackham) and the Rev. E. H. Hennell (the former vicar), a large congregation being present. The contege [sic] then proceeded to the Box Hill cemetery, when the final portion of the service was ready by the same ministers. Messrs. H. Bullock, [T. or I.?] Standing, G. and J. Sell, H. Leber, H. A. Zander, F. Petty and [T. or I.?] Barton were the pall-bearers. Mr. A. E. McLennan, registrar of the diocese of Melbourne, attended the funeral on behalf of the diocesan authorities.

DONCASTER NOTES

A cable received last week brought the sad news that Corporal H. Graham was killed in action in France, where he was transferred after serving at Gallipoli. The deepest sympathy is felt for the bereaved ones whose eager anticipations of a joyous homecoming are so cruelly blighted. The toll of war has been very heavy on the family of Mr. George Graham, who has lost two sons at the front, and whose third son, Kenny, now in France, was wounded at Gallipoli while carrying off his wounded comrades.

DONCASTER NOTES.

The benefit concert organised by the M.U.I.O.O.F to assist the widow of the late Bro. Mackinlay was given on Saturday, August 12, when the Athenaeum was comfortably filled. Cr. Zerbe, P.D.G.M., introduced the chairman, Bro. Walker, one of the district officers, and so attractive was the programme presented that the audience scarcely realised how swiftly the hours flew, and how late it was when the last item closed. Among the visitors present was Cr. H. Rooks, secretary of the Camberwell lodge. Several former favorites, who had not been heard in Doncaster for a good while, renewed their acquaintance, and proved that neither time nor custom had staled their infinite variety, for whether with a catchy chorus about cheap sea trips, that all were invited to sing, but couldn't, or the many ways men laugh, Mr. A. Paroissien seemed to enjoy the fun nearly as much as his audience. The advice, at once good, yet contradictory, given by Mr. and Mrs. De Beere in their humorous duet was greatly appreciated, both by the married and those on matrimony bent; while the experiences, recited by Miss Carroll of the lady who went to have her photo "took," while intensely amusing to her hearers, were such that if all she told were true none need fear being "snapped" by their friends when so many improvers can be so readily applied to remedy any defects in nature's plan. Most of the songs were old favorites so well sung that everyone was well pleased, and heartily endorsed the vote of thanks to the performers for a splendid night's entertainment. The outcome of the performance will be a profit of over £16.

DONCASTER SOLDIER KILED [sic] BY A SHELL.

Mrs. H. D. Graham, of Main road, Doncaster, has received a sympathising and interesting letter from Captain Hugh M. Conran, detailing how her husband, Corporal Graham, met his death in France. The writer states: - "One night last week we raided the German trenches with a picked body of men from the whole battalion. I was the captain in charge of the party, and he was the corporal in charge of the storming party that was to take one portion of the enemy trench. His party had successfully stormed the trench, and had reached its objective, in spite of considerable oppositon [sic] from the enemy. He (Corporal (Graham) had just sent a runner to let me know, when a shell or a bomb (we are not quite sure which) burst right on him. I looked upon him as one of the best N.C.O.'s of my party, and was certain that his work would be well done. He was a brave and efficient soldier, and I would like you to know that he died a soldier's death, fighting bravely. That the raid was highly successful was largely due to your husband's dash and bravery. I hope sincerely that knowing this will make your loss a little easier to bear." A stepson of the late Corporal Graham, P'rivate W. H. Rust, of Doncaster, was also badly wounded a fortnight later.

DEATH OF MR. JAMES YOUNG.

The death occurred on September 6 of Mr. James Young at his late residence, McGowan's road, East Doncaster. The deceased gentleman was a well-known identity of this district, where he has resided for the past 18 years, and throughout which he was highly respected. He was the eldest son of the late Mr. Charles Young, of Loddon district, who owned the land where the Poseidon rushes occurred in the early days, and was educated at Wesley college, his parents intending him for the ministry. However, pastoral and mining pursuits were his hobbies, and he followed the former for some years, and then retired, to become a mining investor. At one time he owned one-fourth of the shares in the celebrated Mount Malcolm mine, W.A., in addition to being an investor in many other mines. For some years past he had been endeavoring to develop new gold fields in different parts of the Comonwealth, but although spending much money and labour in that enterprise, he met with little success. His remains were privately interred in the Kew cemetery on September 7. The late Mr. Young's widow, for whom much sympathy is felt, will be remembered as a frequent contributor of poetry to these columns under the name of C. A. McNaughton. Mrs. Young has unfortunately sustained a double bereavement, her sister, Miss Nottage, having passed away on October 13, and was also buried in the Kew cemetery.

PRIVATE KING SHOT BY A SNIPER.

On September 28, Mrs. King, of McGowan's road, East Doncaster, received word from the defence department notifying her that her only son, Private Kenneth P. T. King, had been killed in action somewhere in France on August 28. By the last mail the mother received a letter from Private G. Lupton, of the Lewis machine gun section, 24th battalion, 6th infantry brigade, giving particulars of his death. Two photos of the Lewis machine gun taken on board ship on the way to France from Egypt were also enclosed, showing the men with their life belts on, and among them was the late Private King, who was formerly in the 48th Kooyong infantry. Private Lupton, in expressing the sympathy of the section with the relatives in their sad loss, stated that their comrade was killed by a German sniper on August 26. They were having rather a hot time, and in the excitement of the moment Ken over exposed himself, and unfortunately fell a victim. His death was quick, the bullet piercing his brain, and he succumbed instantly. It was a great shock to the writer and the rest of the team on the gun. He added that perhaps it would be some consolation for them to know that they buried the dead soldier in a decent grave, and erected a cross to mark his last resting place. "He gave his all, fighting bravely tor his king, country, home, and dear ones," concluded Private Lupton, who said they had been together since the machine gun section was formed. He had also been in camp with him, and they came away at the same time.

The Late Mr Charles Creighton

The news of the death of Mr Charles Creighton, of "Thornholm," Doreen, which oocurred at his residence at seven o'clock on Monday morning, the 20th inst., after a short illness, will be received by his many friends with the deepest regret. He was taken ill barely three weeks ago, but up till Saturday no grave danger was thought of. Early on Sunday morning he took a serious turn, and although medically attended did not rally, and passed quietly away as stated.

Mr Creighton came to Victoria in the year 1852 with his parents, the late Mr and Mrs Timothy Creighton, from Cumberland, England, who settled at Bundoora. Later on, he himself took up land and settled at Doreen, where he has resided for 44 years, being engaged in fruit-growing and general agricultural pursuits. In his early days he was a champion ploughman, and won many trophies and prizes, and it was a proud moment of his life when, at the age of sixteen, he was able to announce to his mother that he had won £50 in prizes. Mr Creighton was a member of the Whittlesea Agricultural Society, and President at the time of his death, was a regular exhibitor and scored many successes in many classes for years. He was a keen judge of all stock, and once specialized in draught stock, but of more recent years paid particular attention to sheep breeding.

His opinion was very much sought after and very highly respected by all.

Mr Creighton was a member (and later an elder) of the Mayfield Presbyterian Church, Mernda, for over 40 years and a most regular attendant. He took a lively interest in all public matters; his judgment and experience were invaluable to many, as he was a keen debater and one of the very best neighbours possible to have. He also took a keen interest in all sport, and, if any, cricket was his favourite, always being greatly interested in test matches, Australia v. England, and was a supporter of the old Arthur's Creek Cricket Club. He took a great interest in military affairs, and in his younger days was a member of the Metropolitan Light Horse. Mr Creighton married Miss Elizabeth Smith, daughter of the late Mr John. Smith, sen., of Templestowe, who survives him, and leaves four daughters and two sons: Mr Tyson Creighton, "Engelbar," Mernda; Driver Gordon Creighton, now in camp at Salisbury Plains, England; Mrs Walter Mann, Woodstock; Mrs Dean, wife of Sergeant F. Dean, formerly of Geelong, but now at the front in France, and the Misses Mabel and Elsie Creighton. Mr Timothy Creighton, Yarck, his brother, Mrs Fox, sen., Pranumbra, and Mrs Nixon, N. S. Wales, sisters, being the only members of the family, all survive him. His remains were interred in the Strathallan Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd inst., the funeral being one of the longest witnessed in the district for years. The Pall-Bearers were Messrs. Leggat, J. Herbert, Robt. Hart, Jno. Laidlay, Everard Bassett and Arthur Mason.

WARRANDYTE NOTES.

Quite a gloom was spread over this little township when it became known that one of its best known and respected residents, in the person of Mr. John Sloan, had passed away in St. Vincent's hospital on Tuesday, May 1, at the age of 56. Deceased who was a native of Warrandyte, had been ailing for the last two years, and had moved to Wonthaggi with his family, where he took up a position in the state coal mine, and hoped to regain his health. The climate, however, proved adverse to his complaint, and he had to seek attention at the Wonthaggi hospital, at which place he was an in- patient for some nine months. On being discharged from that institution, he journeyed back to his birth place on a visit to his friends, and sought the best medical advice obtainable, which proved unavailing, and he passed away as above stated. During his life he took intense interest in mining and was considered one of the best authorities in the district on that industry, he being the prospector and discoverer of many of the local mines, amongst which were the Young Colonial mine, which yielded up to 28 oz. of gold per ton, later known as the Victory Gold Mining Co., which gave employment to many miners in the boom days; also Carter's line of reef, later known as the New Caledonia, which employed some 250 miners for some two or three years, and from which several thousands of ounces of gold were won. He was an ardent prospector, and as one of his oldest mates expressed of him, whether sinking duffers or striking gold, John was always the same light-hearted, happy-go-lucky Jack; how they used to exchange confidences, and how faithfully they were always kept by him was known too well and as an old mate he would ever be remembered as being connected with the happiest days of their life. In public matters, he always took a prominent part, and for three years was a member of the Warrandyte riding in the late Templestowe shire council, and at the time of his death was a member of the local recreation reserve trust, also one of the trustees of the local mechanics' institute, and one of the trustees of the government crushing plant purchased by the crown to aid miners to crush the quartz won from their mines, of which the deceased had so ably done his share. During his life he was an ardent worker in the cause of charity, and as a violinist his services were ever at the disposal of the various committees to help their noble cause. The funeral took place at Warrandyte on Friday, May 5, the cortege leaving the residence of his brother, Mr. Wm. Sloan, for the local cemetery, and was followed by a large circle of friends, it being one of the most lengthy corteges seen in the district.

His remains were borne to their last resting place by his three brothers and nephew, and the pall- bearers were Messrs. H. Squires, John Grant, P. Mullen, E. Johansen, J. Flinn, and Maurice Whelan (close mates of deceased). Rev. P. Carney officiated at the grave. As one of the old residents of Warrandyte for over 60 years expressed his feelings by saying, "The last of one of the whitest and best men ever Warrandyte produced, who will be sadly and greatly missed." Deceased leaves a widow and family of seven to mourn their loss. Amongst the many floral tributes sent was a handsome wreath sent by his comrades in memory of a good mate.

Dunmunkle Standard, Vic., Friday 11 May 1917

DEATH OF MR. JOHN F. WALTHER.

HIS TASK WAS DONE!

For some months Mr. J. F. Walther, of Murtoa, aged 86 years, has been visibly failing, the bonds which bound him to mortality being slowly loosed ; but the old gentleman accepted the approach of his earthly dissolution with calm composure, fortified by implicit faith in a blessed immortality. For some weeks he had been helplessly bedridden, and his latter hours were painlessly spent in a comatose condition until 2 o'clock on Wednesday morning when heart-failure supervened and he peacefully passed away.

Mr. Walther was an energetic young man of 18 when he landed in Melbourne in the pioneering days of 1849, and at once engaged in the profession of teaching. Whilst conducting a private school he was married at Don- caster by Pastor Goethe to Miss Christina Straube, on 21st November, 1854, and death alone has dissolved that happy marriage tie after 63 years. At Murtoa the diamond wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Walther was celebrated at the Mechanics' Institute in November 1914, when 52 relatives assembled, including four sons, four daughter, 39 grand-children and five great- grand-children. In May 1875 deceased came to Murtoa and was appointed first State school teacher here. In 1881 he was transferred to Ni Ni school, and subsequently to the Bruthen school in Gippsland. In January 1900 he retired from the Government service, and settled down to live privately at Murtoa, where he ended his days tranquilly honored and respected by all.

Deceased was a fine musician, and for 30 years acted as organist and choir-master at St. Johann's Lutheran Church, Murtoa, and Mrs. Walther has rendered valuable assistance as a vocalist. For many years Mr. Walther has been local secretary for the Trinity College of Music, London.

In addition to his widow, deceased leaves four sons and four daughters - Mr. J. G. Walther, Perth, W.A.; Mr. J. R. Walther, Nhill; Mr. H. E. Walther, Tammin, W.A.; Mr. P. A. Walther, Nhill ; Mrs. T.

M. Deutscher, Murtoa; Mrs. E. Uhe, Murtoa ; Mrs. J. Noske, Adelaide, Mrs. T. J. Noske, Melbourne. There are also living 30 grand-childre[n] and 14 great-grand-children; and three children and nine grand-children have predeceased him, making 65 descendants in all. The members of deceased's family are well-known and highly respected, and it had been one of Mr. Walther's comforts in his declining days to know that they were all well provided for.

The funeral will take place this afternoon (Friday), starting from deceased's late residence at 2 o'clock.

GALLANT AUSTRALIANS.

News has been received this week of the death of Sergeant H. Clay, son of Mr. - Clay, of Doncaster, and nephew of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Swift, Northcote, whilst on active service. He was very severely wounded, and succumbed to his injuries soon after reaching one of the Hospital clearing stations. This young officer was a brave and faithful soldier, and whether on the battlefield or in private life his conduct was a pattern to all. For the past two years he had escaped the dangers of war - Gallipoli - Egypt - France - but soon after returning from a ten days' furlough in London and Edinburgh the fatal day arrived when he was called upon to make the greatest of all sacrifices. The deceased soldier was a graphic writer, and his letters have been a great joy to his family and relations. This sorrow following so quickly his mother's death - three weeks ago - makes it trebly hard for the family, who have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends.

DONCASTER NOTES.

The sad news that Sergeant Harold Clay had been killed fighting in France cast quite a gloom over the district where he had been so well known and always held in highest esteem. His life seemed full of promise of useful activities. Just before enlisting he was appointed secretary to the Athenaeum. His fine manly bass voice was always a great assistance to the church choir, while on the tennis court his skill and activity were watched [sic] by his eager desires to give every one a good time. The flag at his old school was flying half-mast on Monday as a mark of respect. Deep sympathy is felt for all the bereaved ones.

CALDECOTT. - On the 26th August, at her residence, Nicholson street, Footscray, Margaret Jane, relict of late Alfred Millwater Caldecott, of "Glenfern," Doncaster, near Kew, and Nadroga, Fiji, loving mother of H. E. Caldecott and Margaret James, of Footscray, and grandmother of Leonard and Roy Caldecott (both on active service), and Gwyneth Caldecott, a colonist of 64 years, aged 90 years. "A devoted parent and true friend." -(Interred privately, Boroondara Cemetery, on 27th inst.)

OBITUARY - Mrs. Caldecott, Snr.

A link with the very foundation of Australia as a colony was severed last week in the death, at the age of 90, of Mrs Caldecott, mother of Mr H. E. Caldecott, J.P. Though living a very retired life Mrs Caldecott, snr., had been a resident of Footscray for over 30 years, coming to the city with her son, with whom she lived after the death of her husband. She resided with a widowed daughter, Mrs James, at 86 Nicholson street. Mrs Caldecott's long life had been a very full one. Born in Omagh, Ireland, she went as an infant with her parents to Canada, where she was reared and educated in the Province of Quebec. Here she learned to speak French equally well with her native English. As a young woman she travelled the West Indies extensively, eventually marrying Captain Young, a shipowner, in Canada. A month after her marriage Captain Young was lost at sea. This was about the time of the gold rush and the young widow with a companion, Miss Blake, decided to try their fortunes in Australia, where Captain Young had relatives, merchants in Melbourne. It was here that Mrs Caldecott met Mr Alfred Millwater Caldecott, who had been brought out by the original Provincial Government of South Australia as a shorthand writer. Mr Alfred Caldecott was an accountant, and afterwards became connected with the Victorian Immigration department when Victoria was raised to the dignity of a separate colony. Mr and Mrs Caldecott lived at Doncaster, where Mr H. E. Caldecott was born. About this time the Fiji cotton boom broke out, and Mr Alfred Caldecott, with several other gentlemen well known in Melbourne, went to Fiji to plant cotton and, as it turned out, lose a great deal of their money. Mr Caldecott, after the failure of his venture, went to Mauritius, where Mrs Caldecott was about to join him, when her husband fell ill and was buried somewhere on the way home between Mauritius and Australia. Mr H. E. Caldecott was then about 11 years of age and he and his widowed mother then founded the close filial association that only ended in her death last week. The funeral was a private one at Boorondara on Monday last.

With the exception of her son and daughter in Footscray Mrs Caldecott's only near relative was a brother, Mr John Buchanan, a well-known merchant of Point Levis, Quebec. Mr Buchanan is now 76 years old and though he was but a toddler when his 17-year old sister married and went to the other side of the world, he and she had corresponded regularly throughout the years, and one of his unanswered letters was found after her death. A link binding the two families is found in the fact that where Mrs Caldecott has two grandsons, Roy and Leonard Caldecott, fighting for the Empire, Mr Buchanan has two sons, while a daughter is a nurse with the American army.

THE WOES OF IRELAND. - Violet Victorious in Maintenance Case.

At the Box Hill Court on Friday last, before a bench of local magistrates, Violet Ireland, of East Doncaster, sued her husband, Albert Ireland, for maintenance.

The complainant gave evidence that the marriage took place on July 11, 1914, and she and her husband went to live at his place at Park-road, East Doncaster. He also had a property in Gippsland. She valued the property at Doncaster at £900. Witness continued to reside at Doncaster till March, 1915, and then went to Croydon, where her child was born. When the child was three weeks old, her husband enlisted, and from that time had not contributed to the support of his child. Defendant was of very irregular habits, and she was frequently left alone at night. Witness was living on Government money for six months when her husband was discharged owing to having

CONTRACTED A COMPLAINT.

Subsequently they occupied different rooms. He afterwards went to reside at his place on the creek. Her husband had not contributed to her support from the time of his discharge up to the present.

Albert Ireland, the defendant, alleged that his wife was so anxious to get married that she would not wait till the house was built. He denied telling his wife that he was suffering from a certain complaint. Witness had been ill as the result of youthful indiscretion: but the complaint was not the one referred to, and he had been cured, and had medical evidence to that effect. Witness was quite willing to take his wife back and provide a home.

The Bench decided that the plaintiff was entitled to succeed, and awarded her 15s. per week, with 5s. a week additional towards the support of the child. Defendant was also ordered to find two sureties of £25 each. Costs, £2 2s., were allowed, and a stay of seven days was granted.

SERGEANT HAROLD CLAY, OF DONCASTER.

The following letter has been received by Cr. John Tully, of Doncaster, from Sergeant Eric Hearnshaw, in connection with the death on active service of Sergeant Harold Clay: - "It is with deep sympathy that I, a complete stranger, have dared to address you. It was in the second week of January that a portion of our battery joined the 60th battery, and with them Corporal Clay. It was not long before Clay broke down all barriers of reserve or aloofness, by his clean living, upright character, and close attention to duty. Quite early in our association with this battery, the sergeant- major said to me, 'If ever you want anything done go to Corporal Clay.' From this you will gather that in his work he was absolutely reliable, and his bravery was on many occasions proven. In March he was promoted to the office of sergeant. As for our personal association, let me say Harold was a true comrade. Knowing that his father was a fruitgrower, we nicknamed him 'Cherry.' This alone caused a great deal of fun and amusement. On his last morning (July 31) he was with us firing his gun for 2¼ hours after the commencement of the artillery action. Whilst rushing into this advanced post one of his horses fell, but Harold, nothing daunted, as he stopped to get his horse up, had a smile and a jest for us as we passed. He soon overtook us and brought his gun into action with the rest of the battery. About 8.30 a.m. a wretched shell dropped in the rear of his gun, instantly killing his officer, Lieut. Baron, wounding three others, and he was hit in the back of the neck and the right thigh. With the assistance of one of the men, he was able to walk to a shelter close in the rear, where he was dressed and passed straight to the ambulance. In spite of all his pain as he was being carried away, he waved his arm to us who were still in action, and smilingly bade us 'Good luck.' The next we heard of him was from the hospital that on August 4 he had died from his wounds. Thus closed in the supreme sacrifice a career which had been devoted to duty full of gallantry, uprightness, honor and truthfulness - -an example to us all, and a credit to the battery, a treasured memory of those of us who, through having known him for only so short a time, had learned to call him friend and comrade. With deep sympathy of all the officers, N.C.O.'s and men of the battery for all his friends and relatives."

OBITUARY

It is with regret that we record the death of John R. Duncan, of Lower Heidelberg-road, Ivanhoe, which occurred on Monday last. Apparently in robust health for his years, he was suddenly stricken down three weeks ago, and as he failed to respond to medical treatment, serious consequences were feared from the first. Born at Bulleen 66 years ago, Mr Duncan had spent the whole of his life in this district and at Berwick. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, when a representative gathering followed his remains to their last resting place in the Heidelberg cemetery. The Rev. J. M. James, B.D., conducted the service at the house and the graveside. The mortuary arrangements were carried out by Mr W. Irvin. Amongst the floral tributes placed on the coffin were five wreaths from his fellow employees of the various departments of the Melbourne Electric Supply Co., Richmond, and one from the Australian Explosives Co. Deceased leaves a widow and a grown-up family of one daughter and five sons, including Sergeant-Major J. Duncan, on active service in Egypt, and Mr Roland Duncan, well-known locally.

DONCASTER SOLDIER FALLS.

Mrs. Sleeth, of Doncaster, has been officially notified that her son, Signaller Eric Hillman, was killed in action in France on October 4. This is another fine young soldier who has paid the extreme penalty in defence of honor and freedom. Born at Doncaster, where he lived until he went to the war, Signaller Hillman was the only son of the late Mr. C. Hillman. He enlisted at the early age of 18 years, and sailed for England on June 3, 1916, attached to the 27th battalion, 10th infantry brigade. Arriving in Engand [sic] on July 25, after calling at Albany, Cape Town, and also a small island on the African coast, he was transferred from the machine guns to signalling, and went through a special course, where he gained a first-class signaller paper. He left for France early in December, and spent a month in a signalling school there, receiving his A1 certificate. On February 26 (his 19th birthday), he was mentioned in despatches for conspicuous bravery and attention to duty, after which he fell ill with pleurisy, and returned to England, where he remained till the latter end of August, when he left again for France. During all the time he was away he never made any complaints, excepting with respect to the cold in France last winter. In one of his letters, he referred to his trip to London, and the sights he had seen there of historical places. He received the "Reporter" regularly, and the other boys and himself were always delighted to get it. His chief companions were Jack Veitch (Doncaster) and Gordon Toogood (Box Hill), both signallers, and he met many Box Hill and Doncaster boys whilst in England. The greatest sympathy is extended to Mrs. Sleeth and family in their sad loss.

CORPORAL T. TOOGOOD DIES AT SEA.

Once again the trials of the war has been brought home to this locality, much regret having been felt throughout the Box Hill and Doncaster districts when the sad intelligence was circulated that Gun Corporal Tom Toogood had died at sea on December 21 from gunshot wounds in the head whilst being invalided home. The deceased, who was a veteran soldier, having also served in the South African campaign, was the second son of Mrs. Toogood, and the late Mr. Henry Toogood, of Box Hill. He leaves a widow and four young children, who reside in Doncaster road, Box Hill, and for whom the greatest sympathy is felt in their deplorable grief. His brother, Driver Dick Toogood, was killed in action some months previously. Corporal Toogood was born in Box Hill, and at his death was 34 years of age. At the time of enlistment he was in business in Doncaster, and was a prominent member of the local rifle club, but on the outbreak of hostilities nothing would restrain him from doing his duty to his country, his king, and his loved ones, for whom he eventually paid the supreme sacrifice. He joined the forces early in March, 1915, and had thus the creditable record of two years and 10 months' service. For seven months he served on Gallipoli, and took part in the famous evacuation of the peninsula. Proceeding to France about April, 1916, he was gassed in the trenches last February, which meant a sojourn in the hospital for a few months. Upon his return to the front he was installed as acting sergeant in connection with the guns, but at the battle of Ypres sustained a gunshot wound in the head on October 2 last. He was sent to England for treatment, and appeared not to be seriously injured, as he wrote most reassuring letters to his wife and family. Embarking for Australia on December 16, the boat was however, only five days out from land when he succumbed to his wounds. The steamer on which he was on board reached Melbourne on Wednesday last.

Buoyed up with the expectancy of shortly seeing him back again, the shock to his relatives to learn of his demise was therefore all the more accentuated, and to them the curtain of gloom hangs unusually heavy in the sad and sudden loss of another estimable and highly respected young citizen of this district.

Tragedy at Doncaster East - Three Persons Found Dead - Melbourne, Monday.

At Doncaster East yesterday Mr. Tighe, a neighbor, when he called at the house of Thomas John Davies, poultry farmer and orchardist, found Davies lying dead in a passage with a single-barrelled gun alongside his body. Mrs. Florrie Rose Davies was dead in her bed, and a child three years of age was lying dead on the floor with half the head blown off. Thomas Davies was the secretary of the Ironworkers' Union.

A Family Tragedy - MELBOURNE, Monday.

The tragedy occurred at Minatto, his home in Springvale-road, East Doncaster.

His wife was also found lying dead in bed, and she is supposed to have been strangled or succumbed either to heart failure or to poison. No traces of poison were found in the house.

Davies was 33 years of age. His wife, Floris Davies, was two years younger, while the child, Irma, was aged two years and five months.

A Shocking Tragedy - Father Murders His Child The Mother Also Found Dead - MELBOURNE, February 25.

Driven desperate by the fear of prosecution, arising out of the disappearance of funds belonging to the Ironmoulders' Union, of which he was secretary, John Davies to-day murdered his infant daughter and then committed suicide. The tragedy occurred at Minatto, his home in Springvale- road, East Doncaster. His wife was also found lying dead in bed, and she is supposed to have been strangled or succumbed either to heart failure or to poison. No traces of poison were found in the house. Davies was 33 years of age. His wife, Floris Davies, was two years younger, while the child, Irma, was aged 2 years and 5 months. The story of the tragedy, so far as Mrs. Dsvies is concerned, has features which are at present mystifying. There were marks resembling bruises about the throat and ears, and it is suggested that she was choked to death by Davies, who then placed the body on its back, and folded the arms. Other suppositions aroused are that she died peacefully in her sleep, or that heart failure may have been brought on through the shock of seeing her child shot at the feet of its father. This supposition, however, is not entertained by the medical man, and the police who investigated the affair. That the crime was premeditated was proved by a note found in the house.

Davies had been secretary of the Ironmoulders' Union for many years. An audit of the union books was conducted and it is stated that the irregularities revealed involved an amount of slightly over £100. A warrant was being issued to- day when word was received of the tragedy.

Mr. Arthur Tighe, who lives on an adjoining orchard, said to-day: "When I called at their house shortly after 9 o'clock this morning no one answered my knocks, and I opened the door to call out. Then I was horrified to see Davies lying dead in the passage, with his legs round a single-barrelled gun, the end of the muzzle of which he held with his left hand. His head was almost unrecognisable. The bedroom was in a shocking condition. The little girl was lying dead on the floor. She had been shot through the back of the head, and the face of Mrs. Davies, together with the bed clothing over her, was in such an awful state that it seemed as if she had been shot while she slept. "

On the dining-room table were the marriage certificate of Davies and his wife, the burial certificate of another child who died some time ago, and a photograph of the girl Irma.

A Domestic Tragedy - Double Sucide [sic] and Murder Wife's Remarkable Letter - Melhourne, February 25.

Thomas John Davies, an orchardist and poultry farmer, in Spring Vale-road, Doncaster East, his wife, Floris Rose Davies, and their[sic] daughter, Irma Davies, 3 years, were found dead in their home, Doncaster East, this morning. All had been shot. Davis had for some time been secretary of the Moulders' Union, and it is believed he was worrying over financial matters. A letter, undated, but, judging by the freshness of its ink, written but a few hours previously by Mrs. Davies, was found on the mantelpiece of the dining-room. This suggested that Davies and his wife agreed to die together, and that their child should also be killed. A note, addressed to "'Dear Lizzie and Allie," stated: - "Before you receive this note Tom, Irma, and I will be far from you. I should like to have saved you all the bother, but our hearts are broken. I could not leave my dear old sweetheart. You know the fine chap he was. He had been accused of doings things he has no recollection of. They will not show him any mercy. The mental anguish he has endured is terrible. They have sold the house and furniture, but, not satisfied with that, they demand our lives, and so they got what they wanted. Think kindly of us all and forgive as you expect to be forgiven. From your old friends, T.F. and G.I." On the envelope was written: - "Arthur, attend to our affairs." The envelope contained documents relating to the death of a child of Davies, the life insurance policies of the dead man and woman, a photograph of the little girl Irma, and a marriage certificate, showing that Davies and his wife were married in June, 1910.

Davies was worried over his suspension from the secretaryship of the lronmoulders' Union, and the probability of proceedings against him, as evident from his wife's letter, caused him much mental anguish. He was held in high esteem in trade union circles. There was a peculiar development to- night, when an examination of the body of Mrs. Davies disclosed that she had died by poison. It is believed that Davies shot his daughter and then himself, and that afterwards the mother poisoned herself.

Tragedy at Doncaster East - Three persons found dead. One a suspended union secretary. - Melbourne, Monday.

A triple tragedy was discovered on Sunday at Doncaster (as briefly reported in "The Miner" last night). The victims are: - Thomas John Davies, secretary of the Victorian Ironmoulders' Union, shot in the head. Floris Rose Davies, his wife, believed to have been poisoned. Irma Davies, their 3-year-old daughter, shot in the head. According to the available evidence, Davies, who was under suspension from his secretaryship, has lately engaged in poultry farming and fruitgrowing in a small way at Springvale. He had been worrying over the probabiliey [sic] of proceedings connected with the secretaryship of the Moulders' Union, and it is believed that the strain of worry led to the tragedy. A note left by Mrs. Davies lends color to this belief. In it she said: "I would not leave my dear old sweetheart. He has been accused of doing things he has no recollection of, and they will not show him any mercy." The police think that Davies shot his daughter and then himself, but that Mrs. Davies preferred to end her life by poison.

Doncaster Tragedy - Union Secretary's Troubles

It was stated officially yesterday, on behalf of the Moulders' Union, that the irregularities ascertained in the accounts of the late secretary, T. J. Davies, who committed suicide at his home at Doncaster East on Monday, after having murdered his infant daughter, amounted to £1,326. After a delay in the presentation of the balance sheet of the union for 1916, questions were asked concerning the statement for 1917, and Davies remarked that if there was only suspicion that anything was wrong, the books were there for examination. Officers of the Federal Excutive were consulted, and an audit of the books was decided upon. During the period of his suspension Davies made several inquiries about the course of action that was likely to be taken, and more than once asserted that he would do away with himself if proceedings were instituted. Restitution was offered, and, at the suggestion of Davies and his wife, a bill of sale over their home and all property at Doncaster was prepared in favour of the union, but had not been signed. The deceased couple brought the inventory of their goods to a solicitor's office last week and, at their request, the president of the union (Mr. Johnson) agreed to the exclusion of a sewing machine and any other personal belongings that Mrs. Davies desired to retain. The executive of the union was disposed to accept the promised restitution, and Davies had offered to render every assistance in straightening out the finances. The executive made a full statement of the case to a mass meeting of the union on Saturday night and asked members to restrain their feelings in view of the threats that Davies had made. These were not regarded seriously by the advocates of firm action, and in a meeting of about 300, they had a majority of between 20 and 30 in favour of a direction to the executive to place the alleged cases of forgery in the hands of the police. Davies was noted for his openhandedness at the Trades Hall to persons in distress, and Mr.Johnson thinks that most of the money went in that way. Deceased did not drink, gamble or smoke. A post-mortem examination was made yesterday at the Morgue, by Dr. Mollison, of the remains of Mrs. Davies, who was found dead on the bed in a peaceful posture, and unwounded. Dr. Mollison made no official pronouncement as to the cause of death, but has forwarded the organs to the Government analyst for examination.

The Doncaster Tragedy - Davies' Defalcations - Melbourne, February 26.

In connection with the Doncaster tragedy of Sunday, when John Davies, his wife, and their daughter were found dead in their home, it appears that last Saturday night the Ironmoulders' Union, of which Davies had been secretary, resolved as the result of the audit of books and accounts to institute proceedings against Davies. Defalcations amounting to £1,737 are alleged to have been revealed by the audit. While proceedings were being instituted by the unions news came through of the tragedy, and nothing further was done. According to the president of the union that body had given Davies every consideration. He had previously threatened to commit suicide rather than face a public exposure. In view of Davies' threats the president of the union, accompanied by two others, motored out to Davies' home at Doncaster East on Saturday night to assure themselves that the man was all right. They arrived at the house about 1 a.m., and found Davies and his family quite safe. Davies had given a promise to the union that he would make restitution to the extent of £500 immediately, and give an undertaking to pay the balance at a subsequent date.

An Awful Tragedy - Worried To Death - Husband, Wife and Child Die Together

Calling at the house of Thomas John Davies, in Springvale road, Doncaster East (Melbourne) on Monday morning, Arthur Tighe, a neighbor, found Davies lying dead in the passage, with a single- barrel gun alongside him. Going into the bedroom, Tighe found Irma Davies, three years of age, dead on the floor, with part of her head shot off. Mrs Floris Rose Davies was also dead in the bed. Davies is said to have been worrying lately over financial matters. He was carrying on the business of a poultry farmer and orchardist, and was formerly an ironmoulder. Later details state that all three had been shot. The husband and wife were much attached to each other. Davies had been secretary of the Moulders' Union. He appears to have been worried over certain proceedings which he apprehended. A letter in the handwriting of Mrs Davies indicated that they had decided to die together and that their child should also be killed. The note was addressed to "Dear Lizzie and Alice," and went on to state: "Ere you receive this note, Tom, Irma and I will be far from you all. I would like to have saved you all the bother, but our hearts are broken and I could not leave my dear old sweetheart. You know what a fine chap he was. He has been accused of doing things he has no recollection of, and they will not show him any mercy. The mental anguish he has endured is terrible. They have sold the house and furniture, but not satisfied with that they demand our lives, so they have got what they wanted. Think kindly of us all, and forgive, as you expect to be forgiven. From your old friends, T.F. and G.I." In the envelope were several papers, and on the envelope was written: "Arthur, attend to our affairs." The envelope contained documents relating to the death of the child Davies, the life insurance policy of the man and woman, a photograph of the little girl Irma, and the marriage certificate, showing that Davies and his wife were married in June, [1909?].

This supposition, however, is not entertained by the medical man and the police who investigated the affair. That the crime was premeditated was proved by a note found in the house. Davies had been the secretary of the Ironmoulders' Union for many years. An audit of the union books was conducted, and it is stated that the irregularities revealed involved an amount of slightly over £1000. A warrant was being issued to-day when word was received of the tragedy. Mr. Arthur Tighe, who lives on an adjoining orchard, said to-day: "When I called at their house, shortly after 9 o'clock this morning, I was horried to see Davies lying dead in the passage, with his legs round a single-barrelled gun, the end of the muzzle of which he held with his left hand. His head was almost unrecognisable. The bedroom was in a shocking condition. The little girl was lying dead on the floor. She had been shot through the back of the head." On the dining room table were the marriage certificate of Davies and his wife, the burial certificate of another child, who died some time ago, and a photograph of the girl Irma. Mrs. Davies' father is stated to be a metallurgist in Western Australia.

Misappropriation 0f Funds - Melbourne, Feb. 26.

It was stated officially to-day, on behalf of the Moulders' Union, that the irregularities ascertained in the accounts of the late secretary, T. J. Davies, who committed suicide at his home at Doncaster East, on Monday, after having murdered his infant daughter, amounted to £1326. Davies was noted for his open-handedness at the Trades Hall to persons in distress, and it is thought most of the money went in that way. Deceased did not drink, gamble, or smoke.

Doncaster Tragedy Murder and Suicide

Only four witnesses were examined at an inquest held at the Morgue yesterday touching the deaths of Thomas John Davies, his wife (Floris Rose Davies), and their infant daughter, Irma, whose dead bodies were found at their home at East Doncaster on the morning of February 26.

In recording that Thomas John Davies and his daughter Irma had died from gunshot wounds wilfully and maliciously inflicted by the father, and that Floris Rose Davies had died from strychnine poisoning, the coroner (Dr. R. H. Cole) said:- This man evidently died from a gunshot wound in the head, and I think it has been made fairly clear that he fired the shot himself. The baby also was killed by a gunshot wound, and I think there is no doubt that the man fired that shot. The woman was found dead lying in bed, with her clothing stained with blood. As her face was spattered with blood, it is evident that she was present when either one or the other of these people was shot. I think she was lying on her side when the baby was shot, as that would account for the blood on her face and clothing. An analysis of the organs of the body showed that she died from strychnine poisoning, and the evidence is clear enough that the couple contemplated suicide. According to the letter written by the woman it was an arrangement between the husband and wife that they should die together and I think that the strychnine was given to her by him. It is probable that she died first, and then the baby, and that the husband then shot himself. It is practically a case of double suicide and murder, because the letter plainly refers to the contemplated death of the three deceased.

He reviewed the chief stages of the war, voiced the hopes of the future, and showed how each and all can help to make a better world. At the conclusion of the service, the preacher, assisted by Albert Gedye, a returned Anzac, unveiled and dedicated a beautiful stained glass window to stand as a lasting memorial for generations. In the central part "Faith" is represented by a youthful warrior armed with sword and shield with the dove of peace, and the crown and palm leaves, emblems of victory, on either side.

PRIVATE A. E. MILES KILLED IN ACTION.

Deep regret will be felt by the numerous friends of the late Private Alfred Edgar Miles, who was killed in action on September 29 last. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Miles, of Kamarooka, near Bendigo, and brother of Mr. Edward Miles, of Doncaster, who is well-known to members of the Victorian rifle club, being captain of the local club, and with whom his brother resided for over three years, both in Doncaster and Box Hill. The deceased soldier had attended the local schools, and also the Doncaster Church of Christ Sunday school and the Box Hill Baptist Sunday school, where he was the recipient of several prizes. His kindly and amiable disposition had gained for him many admirers and acquaintances, who sadly mourn the loss of still another of Australia's gallant and brave young heroes, who after 2½ years of active service, being once previously wounded, he had laid down his life at the early age of 23 years. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to those who suffered the bereavement in the great loss of one so dear to them.

Lorry and Phaeton Collide - Doncaster Resident Killed

As Mr. Martin Arenas, a carrier, residing in Blenheim avenue, Surrey Hills, was driving a pair of horses attached to a lorry along Elgar road on Saturday afternoon something startled the horses, and they bolted. When descending an incline in the road, the driver lost control of the animals, and a few yards farther on they swerved across the road and crashed into a phæton, which was being driven by Mr. Charles Sykes, a draper, of Blackburn road, Doncaster East. As a result of the impact the phaeton was completely wrecked, and it is thought that the pole of the lorry struck Mr. Sykes on the head. When picked up he was unconscious. Mr. Cedric Crouch, a member of the Doncaster Cricket Club, who was being driven by Mr. Sykes to a cricket match at Surrey Park, escaped injury. Mr. Arenas, the driver of the lorry, was thrown on to the roadway, but sustained nothing worse than a few bruises and abrasions. News of the accident was telephoned to Box Hill, and Dr. Craig and Senior-constable Stephenson were quickly on the scene. Dr. Craig ordered the injured man's removal to the Melbourne Hospital, but, though Mr. Sykes recovered consciousness about half an hour after the accident, he collapsed, and died before reaching the hospital. He was a married man, and was about 55 years of age.

The above club finished up the year with a members' social on November 26, a large gathering being present. Advantage was taken of the opportunity to bid farewell to two members who are leaving the district for the purpose of training for hospital nurses, namely, Misses Olive Hillman and Mona Tonkin. Each girl was presented with a little memento from the members. A hearty welcome was given to Mrs. Allan Smith, a young English bride, wife of one of the Doncaster returned boys. During the twelve months over £60 has been raised by concerts for patriotic work, besides a large amount of wool bought and made up for the boys at the front, and garments for needy children. The club recommences operations again in April, on the first Tuesday after Easter week. During the recess members will still go on working.

DRIVING FATALITY AT BOX HILL.

A most unfortunate occurrence, which was attended with fatal results, happened in Elgar road, Box Hill, at about 3 p.m. on Saturday, December 7, Mr. Charles Sykes, of Doncaster East, losing his life. At that time, Mr. Martin Arenas, carter, of Blenheim avenue, Mont Albert, was driving a pair of horses along that thoroughfare in his lorry when the animals became out of hand, and bolted down the street. The driver successfully passed several vehicles on the roadway which were returning from a funeral, but when nearing a phaeton, in which the occupants were Messrs. Sykes and Cedric Crouch, who were proceeding in the opposite direction to a cricket match at Surrey park, the horses swerved towards the wrong side of the road, and the lorry struck the phaeton side on with a heavy thud. The impact caused the whole of the men to be thrown out on to the road, and the lighter vehicle was badly smashed. Mr. Crouch escaped with a severe shaking, but his companion was not so fortunate, for he had sustained dreadful injuries about the head, the base of the skull having been fractured. Mr. Arenas was also picked up in a dazed condition. Dr. Craig and Senior-Constable Stephenson were quickly on the scene, and the former administered first-aid to Mr. Sykes, after which he ordered his removal to the Melbourne hospital. An ambulance was telephoned for, but considerable delay was experienced in its arrival, it being nearly 4.30 p.m. before a start was made for the institution with the injured man. Though he sat up and chatted a little during the journey in, by the time the hospital was reached the unfortunate man had succumbed to his injuries, and the body was then removed to the morgue. Deceased, who was 55 years of age, was a married man, with no family. Of late, he had suffered from paralysis. The remains were interred in the Box Hill cemetery on Monday afternoon, Mr. A. W. Pad- bury carrying out the mortuary arrangements. The late Mr. Skyes [sic] was a native of Creswick, but had resided in Doncaster district for over 30 years.

DONCASTER NOTES.

Deep regret is felt throughout the district at the death of Mr. C. Sykes, an old resident, who was a keen follower of the local sports and pastimes, and one whose genial nature made him a great favorite with all who met him.

TEMPLESTOWE "TIN- KETTLERS."

Jas. Mangan, Fred Rhodes, Roy Hughes, Alex. McKerdy and Sydney O'Meara were charged with behaving in an offensive manner at Templestowe. John Hodgson, farmer, of Templestowe, stated that on November 18 he was awakened between 9 and 9.30 p.m. by the rattling of tins and his pony galloping about, and then a crash as though the fence had gone. He went to his children's room and they were screaming. The bedroom curtain was pulled from the outside, and when he opened the back door a tin dish flew in. He went outside and saw Mangin and Bob Hughes. He told them to get off the place or he would put them off. Mangin asked how he would put them off, and he replied "The police if no other way." In reply to counsel for defendants witness said his nephew was amongst them; also that he had got married recently, but it was not public. He saw the boys piling up stones and bricks at his gateway.

Counsel - That was a monument in honor of the occasion !

Elsie Hodgson, wife of witness, said she heard the window pushed open and the blinds pushed aside by two men, and one said "Pull down this old rag." In reply to counsel she said she did not think it a joke; she did not know what was up; she thought it might be tin-kettling. Roy Hughes told her they were coming up, but she took no notice of him. The noise they made was enough to frighten anyone.

Geo. Holt, laborer for Hodgson, said he was awakened in a detached building by the noise; he had never heard tin-kettling before.

Constable Costello said that when he interviewed them Mangin said they were only tin-potting him, and Rhodes said if he had been a sport and given them a few shillings they would have gone away. Counsel for defendant held that a house situate in a paddock 60 or 70 yards away from the street was not a public place within the meaning of the act, so that it could not be offensive behaviour as far as a public street is concerned. It is a recognised practice in Templestowe to tin-kettle newly married couples as a mark of respect. There was no intention to be offensive, and they warned the lady that they were coming; he did not want to see a conviction against them.

In reply to the Bench Mr Hodgson said he did not wish to press the charge. The youths were cautioned and the case dismissed, each one agreeing to put 10s in the poor box and pay the court costs 7s.

SCOTT. - On the, 5th March, at "Somerset House" Private Hospital, East Melbourne, Walter Higham Scott (late teacher at the Caulfield State school), dearly loved youngest son of Mrs. Greabel and stepson of O. Greabel, of Morang, loved brother of William, George and Ethel. Aged 29 years. Deeply Regretted.

The Late Mr. Walter H. Scott, DIP. EDUC. A Tribute of Respect [T.E.D.]

When a young man, with every prospect of success before him, suddenly passes from this life, one is apt, in the moments of deep sorrow, to criticise the inscrutable ways of a beneficient Providence: yet when time has dulled the keen edges of sorrow, faith rises triumphantly and, with Tennyson, one learns to say that - " Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be: They are but broken lights of Thee, And Thou, 0 Lord, art more than they. On Wednesday, March 5th, 1919, with startling suddenness, one of the most popular young men in South Morang, Mr. Walter Higham Scott, Dip. Educa., passed to the higher life. What was thought to be a minor operation on the tonsils terminated fatally. Born in Melbourne in the year 1889, the late Mr. Scott met with early sorrow when his father, connected with the famous firm of Boyle and Scott, died very suddenly. Later, his mother married Mr. Otto Greabel, of Morang, where the family has since resided. He was educated at the Morang school under Mr. John P. Danaher, who did so much to inculcate the manly and straightforward characteristics which stood out so prominently in Mr. Scott's later life. His school career was marked with great success. He was one of those fortunate pupils to whom the acquirement of knowledge came with little effort and he generally found himself dux of the form. To further his desire of following the profession of teaching he acted as temporary junior teacher under Mr. Jack, Head Teacher of Toorak school. After the completion of his course, he was appointed Head Teacher of part-time schools in the Hopetoun district. In the meantime he studied so assiduously that his efforts were rewarded by the gaining of an entrance studentship to the Teachers' College, Carlton, where, during the years of 1910-1911, he spent two very happy years. Here, again, success was evident; for, at the end of the first year, he passed for matriculation and gained a studentship entitling him to a free course of study at the University. In spite of the facts that he was closely associated with all branches of the social and sporting life, and that his services were eagerly sought for to carry out executive duties, he passed for his first year of the Arts' course. His studentship at the Training College being completed, he was appointed Head Teacher at S.S. Winsleydale, where his fine powers of teaching and maintaining discipline soon brought him so prominently under notice that he was specially chosen as Head Teacher of the rural practising school at North Melbourne and, as such, had the highly important duties of training teachers in the practical work of teaching. Bad health forced him to relinquish this work and he was appointed to a position on the relieving staff. The remarkably high standard of work which he set at Greensborough, Doncaster East, Fern Tree Gully, Lilydale, and North Caulfield is reflected in the large number of letters of condolence written by his many friends in these places to his mother. As a teacher, a great deal of his success lay in a strong and pleasing personality, which not only inspired confidence and respect in his pupils but caused them to look up to him as a friend and a helper. Earnestness and skill in imparting knowledge and an intense interest in the welfare of the young led him to secure the hearty co-operation of pupils and parents, while the successes of the pupils gained for him the encomiums of all. The Education Department has undoubtedly lost one of its most skilful and promising teachers.

In the realms of study he was also very successful. His qualifications under the Education Department included certificates in Drawing, Drill, Swimming, Junior Cadet Training, Trained Teacher's Certificates, and the very high qualification of First Honors. His last and crowning achievement was the gaining of the University Diploma of Education - a diploma gained only after two years' study of the Arts' course and a full year's study of subjects bearing on educational theory and practice have been passed. Another year of study would have gained for him the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

As a sportsman, his pursuits took on a wide range. He was a very good rifle shot, at cricket he played a strong defensive game as a batsman and was above the average as a wicketkeeper, and was prominent both as a tennis player and a footballer. To him all pastimes were played purely for sport: he scorned the "pointing tactics" so often adopted, and was ever ready to give due praise to a worthy opponent.

In social life, a pleasing manner and sympathetic interest in the doings of his friends, made him popular wherever he went. He had the gift of making friends quickly and, better still, had the greater gift of retaining their friendships.

I have the greatest respect for the late Mr. Scott as a teacher, student, and sportsman, but it is as a real man, a gentleman, that I shall ever remember him most dearly. Kind, courteous, honorable, true and honest in his actions, sympathetic to and thoughtful of all in distress, helpful to all needing his help, he has passed to the Greater Life where his virtues will receive their due reward. In truth, I may truly say that - "His life was gentle, and the elements So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up. And say to all the world, 'This was a man' !"

Death Of An Old Pioneer

After a lingering illness, extending over twelve months, Mr T. G. Henry, father of Mr T. E. C. Henry, Town Clerk of the Borough of Portland, passed away on Wednesday morning, at the age of 85 years. Deceased was one of the old pioneers of the district. Born at Kilkeel, County Down, Ireland, in 1834, he came out to this country when only 19 years of age. He landed at Melbourne in 1853, proceeding to the goldfields near Bendigo, where he met with indifferent success. He afterwards adopted a scholastic career, and after acting as private tutor and coach, finally joined the Education department, and as head teacher came to Heywood school in 1870. Six years afterwards he proceeded to Mumbannar, near Dartmoor, where he continued teaching until he resigned in 1888. Adopting pastoral pursuits, he remained in that locality until 1906, when he took up his residence in Portland, and remained here ever since, with the exception of about one year, during which he re- visited his birthplace. He married a daughter of the late Mr Edward Tatham, of Doncaster, in 1858, and of his family of five, two daughters and a son survive him. The remains of the late Mrs Henry, who died at Mount Gambier in 1888, were interred at that place, and this spot will also be the last resting-place of the deceased, the funeral taking place at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Much sympathy is extended to the relatives in their trouble.

In Memoriam

MR. THOMAS JAMES HICKS.

The Whittlesea charge has suffered a severe loss through the death of Mr. Thomas James Hicks, of "Braeburn," Mernda, who passed to his reward on Sunday evening, June 6th, at the ripe age of 75 years.

The late Mr. Hicks was born at Bulleen, near Templestowe, Victoria, and settled in this district forty years ago, his first wife being an aunt to Messrs. John and Thomas Smith, of Mernda Church

Committee. From the first Mr. Hicks identified himself with the Church and Sunday School, becoming a teacher, and afterwards superintendent. He also served on the Board of Management. Twenty years ago he was ordained an elder in the Mernda Church, acted for a time as Session Clerk to the charge, and attended Presbytery as representative elder.

Mr. Hicks visited Whittlesea at every communion season, being absent only on the last occasion, through sickness. Visiting ministers have always found generous hospitality extended by Mr. and Mrs. Hicks.

Our late elder's death creates another sad gap in the old identities of the district, but more especially will he be missed in the work of the Church. As a neighbour he was kind and obliging; as a husband loving and true; as a father a pattern to his children. Five years ago the family passed through sore bereavement in the loss of Colin, the only son, who fell in battle on Gallipoli, and his father never seemed to recover from that blow.

The large gathering at the Whittlesea Cemetery was an eloquent tribute to the character of the departed. To the widow and three daughters (Mrs. Draper, Yea, Misses Mabel and Hilda) and relatives the sympathy of Presbytery and congregations has has been extended.

At the "in memoriam" service, conducted by Rev. Jas. Raff, in Mernda Church, on Sunday, June 20th, feeling reference was made to the sad event. The Choir rendered, in a very touching manner, the anthem, "Crossing the Bar," and the solo, "Into Thy Hands," was given impressively by Mr.

Gordon Raff. – "The Messenger."

Interpreting a Will

In the Practice Court yesterday judgment was given by Mr. Justice Schutt upon questions arising out of the will of Daniel Joughin, who left a property known as the Carlton Estate, situated between Doncaster and Templestowe. The property is worth about £7,000.

Questions put to Mr. Justice Schutt were whether, in the terms of the will, John Kerruish Joughin, a son of the testator, was entitled to the estate in fee simple or only for life, his son Jack receiving the estate in fee simple.

Mr. Justice Schutt held that the "Shelley case" did not apply in the present claim, although there was a strong authority which seemed to indicate that it should. He decided that John Kerruish Joughin was entitled to the property for life only, and that the fee simple belonged to the son.

Mr. W. A. Sanderson appeared for the applicant, and Jack Maxwell Joughin was represented by Mr. R. H. Gregory.

In Memoriam. (By Mernda.)

Once more our district has been bereft of one of its best-known residents in the person of John Smith, the well-known farmer of Rosehill, Mernda. The deceased gentleman had not been in good health for some time, and was recently taken seriously ill and removed to a private hospital in Richmond, where, despite the ablest medical skill, he passed away in his sleep on Wednesday, January 24. He was a native of Victoria, having been born in Templestowe 63 years ago, and went with his parents to Mernda. In 1884 he married Miss Janet Cockerell (a neighbor's daughter), and had a family of three sons and four daughters, all of whom, except two, reside at home. The sons - Thomas, Leslie and Aubrey - were associated with their father in extensive farming. Three daughters reside at home, and one is married to Mr Stephen Whitter, jun., of Koo-wee rup, the son of an old resident of Mernda.

The late Mr Smith was noted for his hospitality and kindly nature, and rendered valuable service to neighbors when they had sick cows and horses He was a kind husband and fond father, and was for many years a member of the Board of Management of the Presbyterian Church, in which the family took an active interest. The remains of the deceased were interred in the Yan Yean cemetery on January 26, when the respect of the district was shown by the large attendance at the funeral, their being about fifty vehicles in addition to horsemen. The religious services were conducted by the Rev. J. Y. Raff (pastor of the Mernda Presbyterian Church) and the Rev. H. Scott Morton, a former minister of the church and close friend of Mr Smith and his family. The services, both at the house and the grave, were very touching, and the church was well represented, the minister (the Rev. J. Raff) and the three elders being present, viz., Messrs J. R. Gibson, E. Smith and Walter Thomas.

Although Mr Smith's soul has gone to his Creator, the memory of the kindly actions he did in his life will not soon be forgotten in the district. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved family.

Farmer Criticised - Leaves Body in River

Having been informed that the body of a man had been seen in the Yarra at Templestowe, John Cox, a farmer, continued milking his cows. He went to look for the body on the following day. His action was strongly criticised by the deputy coroner (Mr. Phillips) at the morgue yesterday, when an inquiry was held into the death of Eben Gammie, aged 67 years, who was found drowned on August 27. Cox said in evidence that he was milking cows at about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, August 26, when he was told that there was the body of a man in the river. He told a young man to inform the police, and continued milking his cows. On the following morning he went to the river and found the body of Gammie.

Mr. Phillips. - It is extraordinary that a man hearing of a body in the river does not do something. Probably you were more interested in your cows, and had they been in the river you would have gone.

Continuing, Mr. Phillips said that one would think a man would inform someone else even if he were too busy to take a human being out of the water. It seemed a clear case of suicide. He returned a verdict of "found drowned," there being no evidence to show how Gammie got into the river.

Sir John Taverner - Sudden Death When Speaking Long Service to State

Widespread regret will be felt at the death of Sir John Taverner, which occurred suddenly yesterday afternoon. Sir John, who was chairman of the Victorian directorate of the Primary Producers' Bank, visited Doncaster, accompanied by Mr. H. Schwieger (a fellow director) and Dr. Gilruth, to open a branch of the bank. He was in his customary good spirits, and seemed to be enjoying excellent health. After the opening ceremony refreshments were served in the Athenæum Hall. Several speeches were made by Doncaster residents, and Sir John Taverner rose to respond. He had not said many words when he suddenly collapsed. He was carried outside, and a doctor who was present did everything that was possible. Within a few minutes, however, he was dead.

Sir John Taverner was associated with the public life of the State for many years, and was exceedingly popular among a large circle of friends. He was born at Melbourne in 1854, and was educated at Scots Grammar School, Williamstown. His Parliamentary career began on March 28, 1889, when he was elected to the Legislative Assembly for Donald and Swan Hill. Sir John Taverner and the present Minister for Education and Labour (Sir Alexander Peacock) entered Parliament on the same day, and then commenced a long association as private members, and afterwards as members of the first Turner Ministry for five years. Shortly after he entered Parliament Sir John Taverner was appointed a member of the first Railways Standing Committee which consisted of 13 members, with Sir Thomas Bent as chairman. In September, 1894, when the first Turner Administration was formed, Sir John Taverner became Vice-president of the Board of Land and Works, Minister for Public Works, and Minister for Agriculture. In 1895 he was appointed Minister for Health. When the present Chief Justice of Victoria (Sir William Irvine) formed his Ministry on June 10, 1902, Sir John Taverner was included as Minister for Public Works and Vice- president of the Board of Land and Works. Towards the end of the year he became Minister for Lands. He held this portfolio until Sir William Irvine resigned in 1904 owing to ill-health. When the Ministry was reconstructed by Sir Thomas Bent, Sir John Taverner was included, but a few days later he resigned to become Agent-General. Sir John Taverner occupied this office with distinction from 1904 until 1913, and in 1909 was knighted for his services. He continued to reside in London until recently, when he returned to Victoria. He was welcomed home at a function arranged by the Ministry at State Parliament House, where tributes were paid to his long and honourable services to the State. At the time of his death Sir John Taverner was a member of the State Fruit Advisory Board.

The long period in which he occupied various portfolios gave him many opportunities for assisting in the development of the State, and he will be remembered as one of the strongest advocate[s] of providing adequate water storage systems and railway facilities in distant parts of the State. Sir John Taverner was one of the first to direct attention to the promise of the Mallee, and when he became Minister for Lands he worked unceasingly to make available land for settlement.

Since his return from London Sir John has been actively associated with the movement to improve the standard of Australia fruit exports. He allowed himelf very little leisure. He leaves a widow, but no children. Lady Taverner is a sister of the late Mr. T. Luxton, M.L.C.

The body was removed to the funeral chapel of Messrs. W. G. Apps and Sons, Fitzroy, from which the funeral will move at 3 o'clock this afternoon for the Brighton Cemetery, arriving there at 4 o'clock.

State Ministers' Regret

State Ministers were shocked when they learned of the sudden death of Sir John Taverner. The Premier (Mr. Lawson) said that the State had lost one of its most valued servants. For many years Sir John Taverner had devoted himself to developing the land, and afterwards, as Agent General, had accomplished much in advertising the wealth and promise of Victoria.

Sir Alexander Peacock was deeply affected by the news. He recalled the day on which Sir John Taverner and he entered State Parliament House together for the first time, and said that there were now only four survivors of the first Turner Ministry. They were Mr. Justice Isaacs (a member of the High Court), Sir Robert Best, Mr. H. R. Williams, and himself. As Minister for Lands, Sir John Taverner had been most active in pushing forward settlement in all parts of the State. He had a most genial manner, and was extremely popular with members of all shades of political thought.

Weddings - BEAR - SUTTON.

Bear, Primary Producers' Bank, Doncaster, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Bear, Sydney, was celebrated at St. Luke's Church of England, Brighton, on Saturday, March 1, by the Rev. W. Perry Martin. Girl friends of the bride had decorated the church with great taste, and there was a full choral service. The bride was given away by her father, and she wore an ankle-length gown of ivory charmante draped on classic lines, and caught to one side by a pearl cabachon. A long court train of ivory brocade lined with georgette fell from the shoulders, and her embroidered tulle veil was on a coronet of orange blossoms. Lily of the valley and orchids formed her bouquet.

Mrs. K. L. Corr attended her cousin as of honor, and the Misses Pearl Evans and Vera Gandin were bridesmaids, all wearing charming frocks of the Early Victorian period. Mrs. Corr's frock of shot taffeta in tones of lavender and silver was finished at the waistline with a mauve pink floral cluster, and a long drooping ostrich plume fell over the back of her black georgette hat. The bridesmaids wore apricot shot taffeta with hand-made posies at the waist-line. Their black hats were relieved with touches of apricot, and they carried 1830 posies to match their frocks, and wore the bridegroom's gifts of carved ivory necklets. Miss Lauryne Sutton (sister of the bride) made a sweet little trainbearer in a dainty frock of ivory crepe de chine, and a cream straw hat. Her gift from the bridegroom was a gold armlet. Mr. Rolf Bear supported his brother as best man, and Messrs. Rich and Clllford Sutton were the groomsmen.

The wedding reception was held in the Brighton Town Hall, amid decorations of grouped palms and foliage. Mrs. Sutton welcomed the guests in a battleship grey crepe de chine frock beaded in steel.

OBITUARY. - DEATH OF MRS W. PENTLAND.

We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs W. Pentland, wife of Mr Wm. Pentland, of Traralgon, which sad event occurred at a private hospital in Melbourne on Saturday evening last. Following the advice of her medical adviser, the late Mrs Pentland went to Melbourne on Monday last, and on Friday was operateb [sic] on by Dr. Julian Smith. The operation was successfully performed, but deceased, who had been ailing for some time past, was unable to stand the strain, and she passed away as stated above.

The late Mrs Pentland was born at Doncaster, her father being Mr Pask, of that town. She was about 60 years of age, and highly esteemed by every one who knew her, because of her many sterling qualities. During her long residence in Traralgon and district she reared a family of nine children, eight of whom survive her - a family of which any parents may well feel proud. The late Mrs Pent- land also took an active interest in anything for the welfare of the town. The cultivation of flowers was a labor of love to her, and she was one of the largest and most successful exhibitors at both the Agricultural and Horticultural Shows, in which she took great interest. She also did her part, and did it well, in any movement connected with the church, and in many other instances deceased was to the fore, particularly in patriotic work during the great war. Her loss will be greatly regretted by a large circle of friends throughout the district, and the sympathy of all will be extended to Mr Pentland and family in their bereavement.

Mrs Hippe (Oakleigh), Mrs N. McInnes (Loy Yang), and Mrs B. Dnnbar [sic, presumably Dunbar] (Cloverlea, via Darnum) are daughters of deceased, and Mrs R. Pentland a sister.

The remains of deceased were brought to Traralgon by motor hearse yesterday (Monday), and interred in the local cemetery. The funeral was a lengthy one, the coffin being covered with beautiful floral tributes from many friends, including a wreath from the Traralgon Bowling Club. The burial service was conducted by the Rev. J. McMasters, Presbyterian minister, of which church the late Mrs Pentland was a member.

Tram Strikes Waggon - Driver Dies from Injuries

John Bailey, of Main road, Doncaster, market-gardener, who was injured when his waggon was struck by a tram in High street, Kew, on Tuesday evening, died at Melbourne Hospital yesterday morning. He had sustained head injuries.

It is alleged that the tram was left at a loop at the top of a hill, and that it suddenly began to move. Bailey was driving his horse and waggon on the line some distance ahead. Before he could be warned by a motorist, who pursued the tram, the accident occurred. Bailey's horse was killed outright, and Bailey was found unconscious on the roadway. An ambulance took him to Melbourne Hospital.

Runaway Tram - Fatality at Kew - 40 Miles an Hour Down Hill

Evidence given at an inquest at the morgue yesterday showed that the tram-car which struck a waggon driven by John Baillie, aged 58 years, orchardist, of Main road, Doncaster, in High street, Kew, on January 13, was travelling at 40 miles an hour, and that it was out of control. Neither the motor man, William Colyer, nor the conductor, John Morrison, were on board. Baillie, who was taken to the Melbourne Hospital after the accident, died on January 16. In its rush down the incline, the tram narrowly missed several people, and had it not struck the waggon it would have continued until it reached the terminus about a mile farther on.

John Meadows, timber merchant, of Cecil street, East Kew, said: - While standing on the footpath in High street about 5 o'clock on January 13, I saw a tram travelling at a fast pace down High street in an easterly direction. It was apparently out of control. At Westwood street I saw it strike a horse and spring-cart. Down the hill the momentum of the tram increased, and there was another accident at Woodlands avenue, where it struck a four wheeled waggon filled with manure. The horse was thrown to the other side of the road and killed, the waggon was smashed to pieces, and the driver was thrown to the ground out of the way of the tram. When it struck the waggon, the tram was travelling about 40 miles an hour.

To Mr. Foster (who appeared for the conductor). - Where the accident occurred there is only a single track, and the rails are considerably below the surface of the road. When I saw the danger I pursued the tram in my motor-car, and was able to shout a warning to the driver of the waggon and sound my horn, but he did not hear. I had just reached the back of the tram when it struck the waggon.

Thomas Chadwick Hansen, produce merchant, of High street, Kew, said: - I saw the tram when it had moved about 20ft., and was travelling at about six miles an hour. The motor man was trying to catch up to the car, but he failed.

Evidence was also given by Constable R. Neill, of the Kew police. At this stage the inquest was adjourned until to-day.

A pretty wedding was celebrated in the Methodist Church, Doncaster East, on April 11, when Ellie, younger daughter of Mr. and the late Mrs. White, of Evelyn Hill, Doncaster East, was married to Mr. Gus Fischer, of Taylor's Lake. The Rev. Warren performed the ceremony and the bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a wedding gown of ivory crepe de chine; a satin court train fell from the shoulders, softly lined with shell pink georgette. She wore the customary wreath and veil and carried a beautiful bouquet of white asters and fern. The bridesmaids were Miss Dulcie White (sister of bride), gowned in pale marscain, and Miss Emmie Fischer (sister of bridegroom), who wore a mauve brocaded georgette. The trainbearers were little Linda and Jimmy White, niece and nephew of the bride, and looked sweet in pink and cream. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. George Fischer, as best man, and Mr. Artie Craythorn was groomsman. After the ceremony a reception was held in St. John's Parish Hall, Doncaster East, where about 80 guests sat down to a sumptuous repast.

COMMONS - JONES.

Gleaming silver and soft mauve colorings were effectively combined in the frocking for the wedding of Miss Juanita (Una) Jones, and Dr. Philip Graham Commons, which was celebrated by the Rev. Fr. Hearne at St. Mary's Church, Hawthorn, on Wednesday evening, June 10. The bride is the only daughter of Mrs. L. M. Jones, of "Enise," Power-street, Hawthorn, and the bridegroom, the elder son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Commons, of Doncaster.

Entering the church with her uncle, Mr. Thomas P. Mulcahy, the bride was a gleaming silver figure. Her straight gown of embossed silver tissue had long, tight sleeves and an apron panel caught at either side with bows of silver ribbon. A beautiful Limerick lace veil fell from her shoulders to form a slight train, and over all floated a misty tulle veil bound to the head with a turban of silver tissue and orange blossom. The only touch of color was provided by the sheaf of pale pink azaleas which she carried.

Misses Lucille Maher (cousin of the bride) and Dorothy Fox, as bridesmaids, were dressed alike in mauve charmante, made with godet panels of georgette which fell in points below the hem line.

Their head-dresses were of the turban type in pink tissue and mauve tulle, and from one side fell a tulle scarf. This encircled the neck and fell over the right shoulder, terminating in a glinting silver tassel. Dainty bouquets of pink sweet peas tied with mauve ribbons were carried. The fairylike little train-bearer was Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Mulcahy's small daughter, Peggy, whose frock of finely pleated mauve georgette had a floral posy at the waist and was topped by a silver Juliet cap. All wore initial wristlets, the gifts of the bridegroom. Dr. Frank Benson was best man, and Mr. Alex Commons (brother of bridegroom), groomsman, while the ushers were Dr. Val Podger and Dr. Laurie Lennon.

After the ceremony a few relatives were received at Carlyon's, St. Kilda, where mauve and pink flowers provided dainty decorations. Mrs. Jones received in a gown of black satin charmante bordered with silk fringe, which also formed a long cape and finished at one shoulder with a tea rose to match those in her dainty posy. Mrs. Commons (the bridegroom's mother) wore a graceful gown of silver grey marocain and carried a posy of purple violets.

The bride's travelling suit of cinnamon repp showed a cinnamon and blue cravat and was worn with a peacock blue felt hat. Dr. and Mrs. P. G. Commons will reside in Doncaster.

The Argus, Melbourne, Wednesday 15 September 1926 Man Gored By Bull

Death from Injuries

Fatal injuries were received by John Cox, aged 66 years, drover, of Templestowe road, Heidelberg, when he was attacked and gored by a bull at Heidelberg on September 9. He died on the following day at the Melbourne Hospital from shock and head and thigh injuries. The coroner (Mr. D. Berriman, P.M.) yesterday inquired into the circumstances of his death.

Oswald Kirkpatrick, manager of Newbank Farm, Heidelberg, said:- On September 6 I asked Cox to come to the farm to look after some heifers. At half-past 4 o'clock on September 9 I was in the machinery shed when I heard someone calling out. I saw that the bull had broken loose and had Cox down against the fence in the pen. He had hold of a ring in the bull's nose. I drove the beast off with a stick. Cox was at once sent to the Melbourne Hospital. The gate of the pen was always kept fastened with a chain, and Cox would have no need to enter it. The bull was tethered by a chain and strap to an iron peg. I later found that the strap had broken. The fence of the pen was 8ft. in height.

Harold Bartram, Newbank Farm, Heidelberg, said:- I had warned Cox to keep away from the bull because it did not like strangers. After the man's death the bull was destroyed.

A finding was recorded that Cox's death had resulted from the injuries he received when he was gored by a bull.

The Advertiser, Adelaide, Friday 17 September 1926

There had been no occasion for Cox to go into the yard. Harold Bartram, owner of the farm, said he had warned Cox not to go into the yard. The Coroner (Mr. D. Berriman) returned a finding of accidental death.

The Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 20 December 1926

Veteran Pastor - Dr. Thomas Porter Death Announced - LATE DR THOMAS PORTER

Dr. Thomas Porter, who for many years was a prominent pastor of the Baptist Church, died yesterday morning at his residence, Coronation-avenue, Petersham, at the age of 88 years.

A massive upright figure, with white hair and a venerable white beard, Dr. Porter was a notable figure in the Church life of Australia, and was also well known in the United States. He possessed high educational attainments and a kindly disposition, and was beloved by those who came into contact with him.

Dr. Porter was born in Belfast, Ireland, and came to Melbourne with his parents in 1840. Two years later the family went to Launceston, and returned to Melbourne in 1847. Some years later Dr. Porter spent some time prospecting on various goldfields in Victoria. As a young man he went to the United States, where he qualified as a doctor of medicine. Returning to Australia he did not practice medicine, but in 1867 decided to enter the ministry. He first preached near Doncaster, then a bush neighbourhood, and he related that in those days he often walked ten miles to a service, and ten miles back. Dr. Porter later accepted an invitation to the Hindmarsh (South Australia) Church of Christ, and after four years he went to the United States and spent eight years there in the American Church of Christ.

In 1881 Dr. Porter entered the Baptist ministry, and retired about 10 years ago. He was pastor of the Petersham Baptist Church for 13 years, and since his retirement from that pastorate has been "supplying" various churches almost continuously. He has "supplied" not only the Baptist Church, but other denominations. For 11 months Dr. Porter was at the Harris-street Baptist Church, and for several months he was at Goulburn. At the age of 87 years the Goulburn church gave him a "call," and as recently as a fortnight ago he officiated at both the morning and evening services at the Newtown Baptist Church. A week ago he attended the morning service at the Petersham Baptist Church, and addressed the men's morning meeting.

Dr. Porter is survived by his widow (who is 86 years of age), three sons, and four daughters. The sons are Dr. W. S. Porter (of Oakland, California), and Messrs. T. H. Porter (artist, of Sydney) and J. G. Porter (marine engineer, of San Francisco). The daughters are Mrs. G. A .Green (of Vaucluse), Miss Porter (of Petersham), Mrs. F. J. Wooster (of Melbourne), and Mrs. S. Macindoe (of Dee Why).

The funeral will take plase [sic] this afternoon in the South Head cemetery, where the cortege is expected to arrive at about 3 o'clock. Prior to the funeral a service will be held in the Petersham Baptist Church commencing at 1.30 p.m. A special memorial service will be held in the church on Sunday morning.

Accident at Box Hill - Youthful Driver Not Licensed

"It has been proved in this inquest that the driver of the car concerned had no licence, and should not have been driving. It has also been shown that the car skidded, indicating that its speed was high, even though it was going downhill," said the deputy coroner (Mr. Grant. P.M.), at the end of an inquest held yesterday into the death of Denis Maloney, aged 64 years, of East Doncaster.

Evidence was given that Maloney was struck by a motor-car driven by Walter Percy Scott, aged 17 years, of James street, Surrey Hills. The accident occurred on the night of April 9, in Station street, Box Hill. Scott's car passed a car travelling in the opposite direction. Scott dimmed his headlights, and when he switched them on full again he saw Maloney in front of his car, and he could not avoid striking him. Maloney died several days later at the Melbourne Hospital. A finding of accidental death was recorded.

Young Woman's Death - Body Found In Bedroom Inquiries by Detectives

Senior-detective A. L. Lee and Detective Lyons are inquiring into the death of a young woman, which occurred at a house in Bennett street, Richmond, yesterday. The woman is believed to be Jean Alexander, aged about 23 years, who was employed at an hotel in Doncaster. It is understood that she lived at Doncaster until after Christmas.

Soon after 7 o'clock last night the occupier of the house in Bennett street went to the police station at Richmond and reported the young woman's death. Plain-clothes Constable Schabel and Senior- con-stable Harris, who made inquiries, were informed that the woman called at the house about 1 o'clock in the afternoon and engaged a room. About 3 o'clock she had afternoon tea with the wife of the occupier of the house, who then left the house, not returning until after 6 o'clock. About 7 o'clock the front bedroom - that engaged by the woman - was in darkness, and as she had not been seen since 3 o'clock the wife of the occupier knocked on the door, and receiving no answer entered the room. The woman was lying beside the bed on the floor. She was dead.

Senior-detective Lee and Detective Lyons visited the house at Bennett street about 8 o'clock last night, and spent several hours questioning the occupants. They took possession of clothing and articles which had been taken to the house by the woman.

The body was taken to the city morgue.

Her pink tulle veil was held to the head with a coronet of orange blossom, and a choice bouquet of pink carnations was carried. The bridesmaids, Miss Elvie Till and Miss Q. Rogerson, wore charming, but simple frocks of delphinium blue and daffodil yellow georgette, with tulle bandeaux on their hair.

An enjoyable breakfast was served at Jones' "Kia Ora" Cafe, where Mrs. Till received her guests in an oak brown ensemble suit and smart black felt hat. When the bride left for her honeymoon she was wearing a brown tweed ensemble suit and hat to tone.

Bundoora - A Pioneering Family - Memorial Service for Late Mrs. Starkey

A memorial service for the late Mrs. C. O. Starkey was held in the public hall on Sunday. There was a crowded attendance.

Mrs. Starkey, more widely known as Mrs. Weir, and formerly Miss C. O. Crosswell, was a granddaughter on her mother's side of Major C. Newman, late of Monckton, Templestowe. Major Newman was a major in the Army of the East India Company, who, owing to failing eyesight, retired on a pension in 1826. He came to Australia in the following year and took up all the land between what is now Heidelberg bridge and the whole of the district round about Lilydale. Here he established a sheep station with the homestead Monckton, at first known as Pontville, in Templestowe. His first residence was in the old house known later as the Maison Doree, in Lonsdale street, Melbourne, which was demolished quite recently to make way for buildings erected by Myer's Emporium.

Major Newman's descendants tell of many exciting episodes with blacks and bushrangers in the early days. In 1835 bushrangers broke into Monckton and held a pistol at the major's head while the house was ransacked. The family silver was preserved because Mrs. Newman had split open a mattress, packed it with the silver, and threw it over a box. An uncle of Mrs. Starkey's was born on the ship that carried the family from India to Australia in 1827.

In the gold rush of the early fifties the major's shepherds all deserted him and he sold thousands of sheep at one shilling per head. Later he established his headquarters in Alma Bank, Yan Yean, which was purchased for £1000 in cash. Here all the members of the Crosswell family were born except one son, who was born in South Yarra. Mrs. Starkey was born at Alma Bank 62 years ago. Her father died seven years ago aged 96 years, and was interred in Whittlesea cemetery, in the grave of his wife who had pre-deceased him. Major. Newman was buried in his own private grounds at Monckton, Templestowe, but the tombstone was removed to Templestowe cemetery, where it still may be seen, though the remains lie in the first place of burial.

In his funeral oration the Rev. H. E. E. Hayes said that Mrs. Starkey, in her love for service, reflected the spirit of her ancestors, who had played no small part in the deeds that built up the empire. She played her part as a true citizen of a great empire, a real patriot, a worker for the progress of her own district, a wonderful mother, and a splendid member of her church, through which she worked for the real glory of the Kingdom of God in the world.

WEDDING - JENKINS - GASKETT

ON September 8 a quiet and pretty wedding was celebrated at St Mark's Church, Hurstbridge by the Rev O. Muspratt, when Alma, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Gaskett, of Coburg, became the wife of Henry Sheldon, fifth son of Mr and Mrs W. Jenkins, "Rosemont," Hurstbridge. The bride, who was given away by her uncle, Mr Johnstone, was gracefully attired in a frock of ivory windswept satin with coronet of orange blossom and veil. She carried a bouquet of arum lilies. Miss Doris Jenkins (bridesmaid) wore a pretty frock of ice-blue satin with hat to tone. She carried a bouquet of sweet peas and asparagus fern.

Mr E. Jenkins acted as best man and Mr C. Morgan as usher. As the bride and groom were leaving the church to the accompaniment of the "Wedding March," little Elsie Thompson placed two lucky horseshoes on the bride's arm.

Later a reception was held at the home of Mrs M. Thompson, Wattle Tree road. Mrs Jenkins, mother of the groom, received the guests and wore an ensemble of navy blue wool-de-chine with hat to match; her posy was of wallflowers and primroses. Wedding tea was served in the large dining room which was tastefully decorated with flowers and fern and after the usual toasts had been honored the happy couple left by car to spend the honeymoon in the Dandenong Ranges. The bride travelled in a costume of royal blue amazon cloth with hat to match. Their future home will be at Templestowe.

John Smith's Descendants

A reunion of the descendants of John Smith, of Templestowe, took place on December 8, at the Templestowe Hall. A pilgrimage was made to John Smith's grave, on which a wreath was placed by his grandson (Mr. J. C. Smith), and a short service was held. An address, which John Smith had written in 1886, for the guidance of his children, was read. Speaking particularly to the young people the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria (the Right Rev. Dr. John Mackenzie) spoke of the fine Christian spirit of the old Scottish pioneer. Later, in the hall, more than 200 descendants sat down to dinner. In replying to the toast of his health, the Moderator said that he did not know of any similar family reunion having been held in Australia. Mrs. Creighton, the only remaining member of John Smith's family, is 83 years of age. The chairman (Mr. J. C. Smith) said that through the reunion he had been able to trace more than 450 descendants of John Smith in every State of the Commonwealth with the exception of South Australia.

Gathering of the Smith Clan - Re-Union At Templestowe

AT Templestowe on December 8 a re-union of the Smiths was held. All descendants of the late John Smith who sailed from Lochaber, Scotland, on the boat "Early Morning" for Australia in the year 1857 were invited. The Right Rev John D. Mackenzie, M. A., Presbyterian Moderator, was present. The first portion was a gathering of all relatives in the hall. Great Amusement was caused by those present explaining to just what Smith family they belonged. A pilgrimage to the late John Smith's grave followed, where a service was conducted by the Moderator, assisted by a relative, Charlie Smith A letter was written by the late John Smith before leaving Scotland and this was read by Charlie Smith. Then the Moderator spoke of the wonderful life John Smith led. Two hymns were sung and the service closed with the Lord's Prayer. When returning to the hall, photographs were taken of six generations.

Then tea was prepared. When all were seated at the tables they numbered 210 descendants, representing about half the Clan. Mrs Elizabeth Creighton, of Wollert, was the only living daughter of the late John Smith. This dear old lady was absolutely the queen of the evening. During the tea a bouquet of gladioli was presented to her with a book of remembrances, in which all descendant's names had to be written, also a box of sweets.

Several speeches were made and healths of each one honored done justice to my [sic] singing "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows." A song "The Second Minuet," was rendered by Robena Smith (Mrs Jack McKinnon).

Races were arranged outside the hall for all the children, which brought back sweet memories of the writer's grandfather, Thomas Smith, son of the late John Smith. It was one of his pleasures in life to con- duct races, and give sweets, &c., to all his grandchildren.

While waiting for the orchestra to arrive, Edith Smith (Mrs Turley, of Mernda) conducted community singing for about 20 minutes. The singing was wonderful and many good voices could be heard. One of the main items during the community singing was Hannah Creighton (Mrs Thomas Paterson, of Thornbury) and Ivy Smith (Mrs Miller) sang "Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond,'" and all joined in the chorus. Loud applause was given to these two; also "Nearer My

God to Thee," was a very special item which never had been sung better. The orchestra arrived at 8 o'clock and the evening started with dancing. Between the dancing several items were arranged.

Vocal solos, pianoforte solo, duets, toe dances, comedian, and flautist. There was no need to arrange for professionals as these Smiths excelled.

Special prizes were given during the dancing. One for Monte Carlo, statue dance, and all under the age of 21 had a special dance, for which a prize was given. A prize was given according to age.

About 11 o'clock supper was handed around. At 12 o'clock the evening ended by all joining hands and singing "Auld Lang Syne."

Mr J. C. Smith, of Brockwood street, Elsternwick, organised this function and is to be highly congratulated on the success of this most wonderful event, as our Moderator said, it was the first of its kind ever known to him in Australia.

OBITUARY - MR R. JACK

Another old identity of the district in Mr Richard Jack was removed from our midst on Friday. The late Mr Jack was born in Glasgow 82 years ago. He arrived in Australia when little more than infant, when his parents first settled, at Templestowe, near Melbourne. Mr Jack senior became interested in sawmilling venture in that district.

In his early twenties Mr Richard Jack entered the Railways Department, where he remained until he reached the retiring age - about 22 years ago.

During his association with the railways he filled many positions, including guard at Queenscliffe for many years in addition to a regular run through Gippsland.

During his career as a guard his eyesight began to give trouble, and, for that reason, he was placed in charge of the goods sheds at Woodend, and, still later, at Wodonga.

Subsequent to his retirement from the railways he continued to reside at Wodonga, and accepted a position with the late D. M. Stavely, by whom his services were greatly appreciated.

About 12 months ago, he underwent a serious operation to his eyes which had very beneficial effects.

Deceased was one of the most respected citizens of the town, and had a very large circle of friends which included young and old. He has been a patient sufferer for the last four months, and the death occurred in the Albury Hospital on the day indicated.

Besides his widow he leaves two sons (Richard, of Ormond, and William, of Wodonga). Two sons predeceased him.

The burial took place at Wodonga on Saturday when a very large number paid their last respects. Rev G. T. Renfrey read the burial service, while Messrs McCullough and Dunstan carried out the funeral arrangement

Fatal Accidents

A young married man - Clarence Leonard Pratt, of Doncaster - was accidently drowned in the Eildon weir, near Darlingford, on Sunday evening. With a companion he was in a flat-bottomed boat when the wind sprang up and the water swamped the boat. Pratt became exhausted and his companion supported him for some time, but cramp compelled him to release his hold. Other members of the party were in the vicinity, but before assistance could be rendered, Pratt had disappeared.

The body was not recovered until Tuesday morning, and a magisterial inquiry was held at Alexandra in the afternoon, before Mr. Wood, J.P. Colin D. Crellin deposed - At about 4 p.m. on Sunday we went on to the lake in a flat-bottomed boat to fish, while other members were down trying to start the engine of the motor boat. We noticed water entering the boat and tried to get to shore, and when about 200 yards from shore the boat sank. I can only swim a little. Pratt was hanging on to the boat, but got excited and started to kick and struggle. He lost his hold two or three times and I managed to get hold of him. He fought and struggled, tearing my shirt on both shoulders. I held him until I got cramp, and he slipped from my hold. I called out to other members of the party, but they could not get to me as the motor would not start and they had no oars. None of the party are good swimmers. About 5.10 Pratt slipped from my grasp and disappeared from view. About 5 or 10 minutes later my mates got the motor to start, and pulled me out of the water.

V. J. Clarkson, L. N. Vearing, and Constable Boyd (of Jamieson) also gave evidence. A verdict of accidental death was recorded.

Widow Claims £3,000 - Death of Husband Accident at Balwyn

An action, in which she claims £3,000 damages for the loss of her husband, David John Hardidge, has been brought in the Supreme Court by Mrs. Ruby Emma Jean Hardidge, aged 24 years, of Mitcham road, Doncaster, against Leo William Brady, of Main road, Doncaster, dairy farmer.

Hardidge was killed when his motor-cycle was struck by a car driven by Brady. The hearing was begun before Mr. Justice Martin and a jury of six in the First Civil Court yesterday.

Mr. A. L. Read (instructed by Messrs. Abbott, Beckett, Stillman, and Gray) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. N. O'Bryan (instructed by Mr. P. C. Nunan) for the defendant.

In her statement of claim plaintiff sets out that on November 9 the defendant was driving a motor- car which collided with a motor-cycle ridden by Hardidge near the intersection of White Horse and Balwyn roads, Balwyn. The collision, it is alleged, was caused by the negligence of the defendant in failing to keep a proper lookout for traffic, failing to give sufficient warning of his intention to change the course of the car, travelling at an excessive speed, driving on the wrong side of the road, and suddenly turning his car across the roadway in front of incoming traffic when there was neither time nor space to do so.

As a result of the collision, plaintiff says, her husband received such injuries that he died very shortly afterwards. At the time of his death he was aged 27 years, and was a wireless mechanic with an average earning of £7 a week. He was the sole support of plaintiff and her son, aged 19 months, and by his death they had been deprived of all means of support.

The defendant, in his formal defences, admits that he was the driver of the car, but denies the allegations of negligence. He says that Hardidge was guilty of negligence which was the sole cause of, or, alternatively, contributed to, the collision.

The particulars of the alleged negligence are that Hardidge failed to observe defendant's signal of intention to turn into Balwyn road, that he failed to slow up or alter the course of his motor-cycle, and that he failed to have the brakes of his motor-cycle in good order and condition.

The case is part heard.

Ruby Emma Jean Hardidge (24), of Doncaster, sued Leo William Brady, of Doncaster, dairy farmer, claiming £3000 damages for the death of her husband, who was killed when a motor cycle he was riding collided with a car driven by Brady. Plaintiff said that by her husband's death she and her 19- month-old son had been deprived of all means of support.

The jury assessed the damages at £1200 for the widow and £650 for the child.

Claim for £3,000 - Widow Receives £1,850

In the First Civil Court yesterday a jury of six assessed damages for the plaintiff at £1,850 in an action in which Mrs. Ruby Emma Jean Hardidge, aged 24 years, widow, of Mitcham road, Doncaster, sued Leo William Brady, dairy farmer, of Main road, Doncaster, for £3,000 damages for the death of her husband, David John Hardidge, aged 27 years, wireless mechanic. Hardidge was fatally injured when the motor-cycle he was riding was struck by a motor-car driven by Brady near the intersection of White Horse and Balwyn roads, Balwyn, on November 9.

Mrs. Hardidge alleged that Brady had been negligent and that she and her son, aged one year and seven months, had been deprived of support.

Brady denied negligence. He alleged that Hardidge had been guilty of negligence which was the sole cause of the collision or which had contributed to the collision.

The jury assessed the damages at £1,200 for Mrs Hardidge and £650 for the child, and Mr. Justice Martin entered judgment in accordance with the verdict, with costs.

Mr. A. L. Read (instructed by Messrs. Abbott, Beckett, Stillman, and Gray) appeared for Mrs. Hardidge, and Mr. Norman O'Bryan (instructed by Mr. Paul C. Nunan) for Brady.

Bygone Days - By A. W. GREIG - Lions in Bourke Street

Mr. J. Hill (Geelong) and another cor respondent, who wishes to remain anonymous, both recall the fact that at one time two lions were kept in a cage in the back yard, or "tea garden," as the proprietor called it, of an hotel in Bourke street. This was the City Buffet, kept by William Stutt, which stood on the south side, between Swanston and Russell streets. An advertisement of 1865 shows that, besides the lions, there were an aviary of singing birds, a cheetah, and some monkeys. Mr. Stutt, who came from Canada, was a member of two Victorian Parliaments between 1866 and 1870. In later years he had an hotel at Box Hill, and another at Doncaster. He died, Mr. Hill says, about 1906.
