Dear Mr Tabuteau

I was pleased to received your letter and particularly to hear the good news that you are begiiming to reprint the volume of contents, which I trust bodes well for the future publication of the seven registers of the Brisbane Water Police Magistrates. I have enclosed a foreword which I hope will be suitable and which may, in some small way draw attention to the efforts of your group.

As you know I am retiring shortly and would like to take this opportunity to express my admiration for the dedication and hard work displayed by the Gosford District Local History Study Group especially by your President, Ms Joan Fenton and yourself

I wish you every success in your publication.

Yours sincerely

F O R E W O R D

During recent decades l o c a l h i s t o r y has come to a t t r a c t growing i n t e r e s t throughout A u s t r a l i a . Evidence of t h i s can be seen i n the i n c r e a s i n g number of h i s t o r i c a l s o c i e t i e s that have been e s t a b l i s h e d and i n the enthusiasm displayed by members who w i l l i n g l y devote t h e i r spare time to research and w r i t i n g . One r e s u l t i s a s i g n i f i c a n t growth i n the volume of p u b l i c a t i o n s d e a l i n g with the development of d i f f e r e n t regions. In a d d i t i o n to producing jo u r n a l s c o n t a i n i n g a r t i c l e s based on o r i g i n a l research, a number of s o c i e t i e s have begun p u b l i s h i n g memoirs, d i a r i e s and other documentary sources.

The d e c i s i o n of the Gosford D i s t r i c t L o c a l H i s t o r y Study Group to embark on such a programme i s g r e a t l y to be welcomed. To under­stand the r i c h complexity of A u s t r a l i a ' s past i t i s important that as much as p o s s i b l e should be known about developments at the r e g i o n a l l e v e l . The study of l o c a l h i s t o r y i l l u m i n a t e s what has occurred i n a p a r t i c u l a r d i s t r i c t over a period of time. But i t a l s o has the p o t e n t i a l , when viewed i n a broader context, f o r c a s t i n g f r e s h l i g h t on the h i s t o r y of the n a t i o n as a whole. The p u b l i c a t i o n of documents i s v i t a l to t h i s process f o r once put i n p r i n t they become a c c e s s i b l e to a wide range of researchers who can form t h e i r own judgements about the course of events.

The Gosford Study Group has already achieved a g r e a l d e a l . Three s u b s t a n t i a l volumes d e a l i n g w i t h the Journals of the Reverend A l f r e d Glennie and the Brisbane Water Case have so f a r appeared. The current volume contains the Table of Contents and an Index of Names i n the M a g i s t r a t e s ' Records for the period 1826 to 1874. The r e g i s t e r s which w i l l be produced f o l l o w i n g t h i s volume throw valu a b l e l i g h t not only on the working of the j u d i c i a l system but a l s o on the l i v e s of those a f f e c t e d by i t . They touch on s o c i a l as w e l l as l e g a l and a d m i n i s t r a t i v e h i s t o r y and as such possess wide i n t e r e s t . The e d i t o r i a l work has been c a r r i e d out w i t h meticulous care and the h i s t o r i c a l s e t t i n g i s o u t l i n e d with considerable understanding and i n a way that gives added meaning to the R e g i s t e r s .

Plans have been announced f o r f u r t h e r volumes drawing on the s u b s t a n t i a l array of primary sources a v a i l a b l e f o r the Brisbane Water D i s t r i c t . What has so f a r been produced stands as a t r i b u t e to the d e d i c a t i o n , p r o f e s s i o n a l s k i l l , enthusiasm and f o r e s i g h t of the Study Group. Their e f f o r t s deserve r e c o g n i t i o n and success and they have placed a l l those i n t e r e s t e d i n A u s t r a l i a n h i s t o r y g r e a t l y i n t h e i r debt. One can only hope that t h e i r example w i l l i n s p i r e other r e g i o n a l groups to p u b l i s h s i m i l a r s e r i e s .

I N T R O D U C T I O N

The settlement of our d i s t r i c t began i n cl823 when the f i r s t grants of Crown Land were issued. They were mostly large grants, the landholders g e n e r a l l y r e s i d i n g i n Sydney. The landholders used gangs of assigned servants to c l e a r t h e i r e states under the s u p e r v i s i o n of overseers. The need soon arose to e s t a b l i s h a l o c a l a u t h o r i t y to p o l i c e a turbulent people and to enforce the law.

There were not enough l o c a l r e s i d e n t s to e s t a b l i s h an admin­i s t r a t i o n by l o c a l J u s t i c e s of the Peace as e x i s t e d i n England at that time. There was only one l o c a l landowner r e s i d i n g i n the d i s t r i c t who was regarded as a f i t person to become a P o l i c e Magistrate w i t h the l o c a l constabulary under h i s a u t h o r i t y . This f i r s t Magistrate was Willoughby BEAN, who began the f i r s t Bench Register i n 1826. He admin­i s t e r e d summary j u s t i c e from h i s house, which he used as a Court House, on the banks of E r i n a Creek.

From 1826 to 1874, seven r e g i s t e r s were f i l l e d , comprising some 3,000 pages. These r e g i s t e r s are a mixture of minutes, correspondence, d e p o s i t i o n s , memoranda and g e n e r a l l y a l l matters of which the Magistrates wished to make a permanent record.

The i n t e r e s t the r e g i s t e r s evoke i s tremendous. However, although they are being published i n t y p e s c r i p t form as part of the Hl^touLcal Reco/td^ OjJ the. CdntKal Coa6t New South Wate.6, the p u b l i s h i n g process takes time. In the i n t e r v a l , our object i s to make t h e i r contents a v a i l a b l e to l o c a l h i s t o r y students.

We have therefore compiled a l i s t of the content matter of each of the r e g i s t e r s , which w i l l enable the easy r e t r i e v a l of information p e r t a i n i n g to e i t h e r an event or subject of l o c a l s i g n i f i c a n c e . The reader i s r e f e r r e d to the page numbers of each of the r e g i s t e r s .

We have a l s o compiled an index to the names mentioned i n each of the r e g i s t e r s . These i n d i v i d u a l indexes w i l l appear i n each volume as they are published.

Page 12: Bench books & court cases 1826 1874 Historical Records of the Central Coast of New South Wales

However, f o r t h i s present volume, we have combined the i n d i v i d u a l indexes, p r o v i d i n g an index of some 4,000 e n t r i e s which give many thousands of references to the seven r e g i s t e r s . The reader i n t h i s instance i s r e f e r r e d to page numbers and r e g i s t e r symbols, which are explained i n an int r o d u c t o r y note preceding the index.

With t h i s volume we have a l s o provided a r t i c l e s d e a l i n g with the system of l o c a l a d m i n i s t r a t i o n of our area, together w i t h tables aimed at g i v i n g a c l e a r understanding of the e a r l y Brisbane Water D i s t r i c t C o uncil and of the i n d i v i d u a l s h o l d i n g the o f f i c e s of Magist r a t e , Clerk of the Bench and Chief Constable over the time period covered by the r e g i s t e r s .

B i o g r a p h i c a l notes on these people provide i n t e r e s t i n g i n f o rmation about i n d i v i d u a l s whose names are sometimes known, but about whom there has been l i t t l e p r e v i o u s l y published.

To help with p l a c i n g our l o c a l events i n the context of events i n New South Wales, we have included a table l i s t i n g the Governors of New South Wales, showing the relevant volumes of the HJiitoiAJCdt Re.c.oidi OfJ AvLitiaJUji which r e l a t e to each Governor's tenure.

A good knowledge and understanding of the working of our l o c a l government i n s t i t u t i o n s w i l l be gained by the study and use of t h i s present volume i n the s e r i e s of the HJiJit.OH.Jijc.oJL Re.coKd'i of, thz Cmtial Coa.-6t New SoLutk WaJiu.

BOUNDARIES OF THE BRISBANE WATER POLICE DISTRICT There does not appear to have been an o f f i c i a l d e s c r i p t i o n of the Brisbane Water P o l i c e D i s t r i c t when the f i r s t P o l i c e Magistrate was appointed i n 1826. Two d i s t i n c t areas were s e t t l e d at that time: the c o a s t a l area between Broken Bay and Lake Macquarie, and the farming land along the Hawkesbury R i v e r and Mangrove and Popran Creeks.

On the coast, gangs of assigned servants c l e a r e d l a r g e grants f o r absentee landholders. The main p u r s u i t s were f e l l i n g trees and grazing c a t t l e . The area was reached by s a i l i n g v e s s e l s from Sydney. The po p u l a t i o n was under one hundred at the census of 1828.

The farming lands along the i n l a n d waterways were c u l t i v a t e d by a few f a m i l i e s of farmers, mostly emancipists, w i t h the help of one or two assignees. They grew grains and pumpkin and they burned mangroves for ashes. They t r a v e l l e d by s a i l i n g along the r i v e r to Sydney or Windsor. The farming community had p r a c t i c a l l y no contact w i t h the c o a s t a l region.

The P o l i c e M a g i s t r a t e extended h i s i n f l u e n c e over the two areas as fa r as Wiseman's on the r i v e r and Reid's Mistake on Lake Macquarie.

The f i r s t i n f l u e n c e on u n i f i c a t i o n of the two areas was when a Church of England M i n i s t e r was appointed i n 1838 and a C a t h o l i c P r i e s t appointed s h o r t l y a f t e r , both of whom resided i n Gosford (named i n 1839). Their m i n i s t r i e s covered the large r u r a l P a r i s h formed by the two areas.

The 1841 Census area taken from Gosford covered the whole area which had been d e f i n e d on 12 August 1840:

"Embracing the south-west p o r t i o n of the County of Northumberland; bounded on the north by a l i n e from Reid's Mistake across Lake Macquarie, bearing westerly to DORA CREEK, and by Dora Creek to WARRAWOLONG Range and to.Mt. Warrawolong, thence on the west by the west of the s a i d range to Mt. SIMPSON and the North road, and by the road to WISEMAN's Ferry; on the south by the HAWKESBURY and Broken Bay roads to Box Head on the Sea Shore, which forms the easte r n boundary to Reid's Mistake a f o r e s a i d . "

NSW GoveJinmml GazeXtz, 1840, pp. 785 and 824

When the D i s t r i c t Councils were created i n 1843, the boundaries of the Brisbane Water D i s t r i c t C o u n c i l No. 25, proclaimed on 19 September 1843, were those of the P o l i c e D i s t r i c t .

The 1841 Census revealed a population of 1,090 persons and 142 houses. The area of the d i s t r i c t i n 1844 was 559 square m i l e s of which only 14.2% was a l i e n a t e d .

The Country D i s t r i c t of Gosford was r e d e f i n e d on 29 February 1856. The d e s c r i p t i o n at t h i s time was the same as p r e v i o u s l y defined i n 1840 and 1843. The d i s t r i c t boundaries were de f i n e d again on 3 August 1878 and 20 March 1885 without any v a r i a t i o n to the e a r l i e r d e s c r i p t i o n .

THE ANCIENT INSTITUTION OF JUSTICES OF THE PEACE

EARLY BEGINNINGS IN ENGLAND

The system, though medieval, was the best that was possible at the time and i t worked surprisingly well. A system i s , after a l l , as good as the men who administer i t , and Justices of the Peace, who were mostly representing the gentry, must have been a decent kind of people. It must be said, however, that i t was also in their interests for the system to work in a f a i r fashion.

F. W. Maitland took much interest i n the subject and i s quoted by Esther Moir in her study as stating;

"Perhaps the most distinctively English part of a l l our governmental institutions was (the. LnitLtatlon] of J.P., and even in this century he remains a corner­stone of British administration. For over six centuries the J.P. has stood i n the front line to maintain law and order, and for most of that time he has been simultaneously the principal representative of central government and the focus of local power. That the office of J.P. should have been efficient, by and large devoid of perquisites, and unpaid makes i t as remarkable as i t is unique." [1]

The system of Justice of the Peace was adapted to and worked very well in conditions where the fabric of the society was s t i l l very rural and unsophisticated. It was conducted by representatives of the local gentry who possessed ascendancy over the population by their position and their education. It worked best in the centuries when England was s t i l l a rural nation. It also worked very well in Australia when similar economic and rural conditions prevailed. In our d i s t r i c t of Brisbane Water, this was the period from settle­ment to municipal incorporation, between 1826 and 1886. It was:

" . . . an office held by unpaid amateurs throughout six centuries of English history which has become . . . deeply embedded in national l i f e . " [2]

In the time of the Tudors the population in England was over­whelmingly rural.

"For the great majority of people for the greater part of this country's history the government in London was something remote, almost Irrelevant to their lives. The reality of government lay with their local Justice

"They became the pivot of a l l government in the lo c a l i t y . " [5]

In the 14th century, communications in England were rudimentary. Most settlements were more than a week's ride distant from the centre of power. Safety was uncertain, and travel was on horseback in armed groups. The King communicated with the most Important of his subjects and they were apprised of his Instructions. He had no direct contact with the majority of his subjects who could not read. His w i l l was transmitted by the local authority, the lord of the manor, the local baron, earl or knight, the large landowner, the nobility, the gentry.

People in rural England f e l t that they belonged more to their native county rather than being subject of a Kingdom about which they had l i t t l e understanding. The local squires were the only authority they knew who could enforce their authority.

These local powers varied with the size of the estate, and with the influence, importance and social status of the individuals. They were the Keepers of the Peace, but they had no o f f i c i a l sanction from the central power. They merely dominated by their personality and the dependence of their tenants and retainers; the villagers and the population depended on them for work, patronage, shelter and survival. The popula­tion did not leave their parishes of birth except on rare occasions such as marriage.

Likewise, most of our local population, who were either government servants, i.e., convicts, or holders of Tickets of Leave, were assigned In a d i s t r i c t which they were not free to leave.

It was under the threat of a mounting crime wave - a situation which was not without similarity to that of the rural settlements i n New South Wales, distant from the central administration and d i f f i c u l t to access - that the Justices of the Peace were Instituted i n the 14th century. This was an attempt to strengthen the already existing forces of law and order which had been functioning without o f f i c i a l sanction and without uniformity. They had been set up spontaneously by the local landlords, the Peace Keepers.

In the early years of the fourteenth century, temporary commissioners were issued as Keepers of the Peace to supplement the administration of justice, to local knights and gentry -those who might be expected to command respect in their l o c a l i t i e s . They were described i n an Act of 1327 (which did not in fact create the office, but merely gave statutory sanction to an already established system). They were given authority to arrest suspects and to inquire into felonies and trespasses. A restriction was Imposed that they might only ini t i a t e proceedings but not determine them. Their authority i n fact was too singularly limited to be efficient.

The House of Commons, representing the Interests of the gentry and burgesses, kept on urging the claims of commissions issued to the country gentry, demanding that they should be given to men with some knowledge of local conditions.

This i s similar to the complaints of Donnlson in his pamphlet "Tke. Bllibane. Waie/L Ca-4e4", on Governor Bourke having reduced the powers of local J.P.s thus causing the servants and Ticket of Leave holders to become restless and defiant.

The Statute of 1361 marked the transformation from Keepers to Justices of the Peace by the o f f i c i a l and permanent extension of their powers, giving them definite authority to determine felonies and trespasses. They never lost their power to determine the indictments they initiated. Moreover, their authority was gradually extended beyond criminal matters to cover economic and administrative aff a i r s .

Each Bench of Justices consisted essentially of country gentry with a sprinkling of lawyers. The Justices were to be men resident in their shire with some knowledge of local conditions. It was specified in 1439 that a l l J.P.s should be holders of land worth £20 per annum freehold, meaning that the status should be that of a country gentleman, and that a man should l i v e in the country, "be of sufficient l i v i n g and countenance" and "be neither unlearned nor ignorant". [6]

The central government technically appointed, and to a large extent controlled, the Justices. Their selection was subject to local influence and reflected local interest.

The numbers in the commission in the early fourteenth century was small, no more than four or five men to each county. The number of J.P.s sitting at Gosford was also small, often insufficient to discharge their duty without undue demand on their time. The greatest number of J.P.s available locally was six i n 1860 and i n 1862. Their number f a l l to three in 1848 and 1863 and was as low as two in 1866.

Every man named In the commission had to take an oath before he could serve, and his tenure of office then lasted until the issue of a new commission.

"The Commission of the Peace to which the Lord Chancellor appointed the Justices was not issued a l l at one time for the whole country, but when and where i t was necessary to add or to subtract names in any particular county. The new Justice then remained a magistrate for l i f e , or unt i l the death of a sovereign, unless his name was dropped from any future commission (which happened f a i r l y often) . . . This remained a strong weapon in the Government's disciplining of local worthies; i f they misbehaved they were l e f t off, despite their protests." [7]

This happened here locally, as mentioned further on, when J.P.s formed two antagonistic factions, and some of them lost their commission. [8]

The authority of the Bench was not limited by the social positions of delinquents. J.P.s could, and would, try any individual infringment of the law and imperilling of the peace, without reference to the social position of the offender.

"Sessions have the recurrent theme of violence, a violence moreover which was not limited to the peasantry and the lower order, for the Indictments on the session r o l l s t e l l of crimes committed by knights, canons, chaplains, local o f f i c i a l s , even by the justices them­selves." [9]

The situation was not different here as Bean, Donnlson, Moore, Hargraves and Lyall Scott, amongst others, a l l J.P.s, appeared before and were disciplined by the local Bench.

For a l l their shortcomings, the Justices of the Peace fu l l y bore out the faith of the Commons that they afforded the best potential means for keeping the peace. It may also be said that perhaps "the Crown approved of them particularly because they were cheap . . . " They were clearly the most satisfactory means of organising local government.

In 1607, local tyrannies and feuds not only disrupted the peace of landed society, but created an atmosphere which encouraged crime and rio t among the poor, the landless and the homeless. There were riots, brawls, assaults, murders, private feuds and local factions. It i s against this backdrop that the Justices were called to the Commission of the Peace.

This could nearly describe the state of Brisbane Water d i s t r i c t at the time of the Bllndberry case i n 1837, and thereafter.

Since most J.P.s belonged to the same general class of rural society, viz - local landed gentry, i t followed that many Justices sitting on the same bench were related.

Likewise, many of our local J.P.s were linked by family ties: Bean was the brother-in-law of Battley, who was related by marriage to the Helys. Hely i n turn was related to G.K. Mann and Nunn. Alfred Holden had married an Osborne. Willy Nunn married Fanny Holden, and his aunt Emma Nunn had married John Alexander Osborne!

This does not necessarily imply that they acted with one w i l l . Conflicts of Interest are not overridden by family connections; often family ties bring conflicts. However, our local J.P.s certainly did show in some circumstances that they shared a vested class interest when dealing with assigned servants who had exhibited laziness, dishonesty or antagonism towards a master, an attitude that most J.P.s, being land holders, may have experienced at one time or another.

In 17th century England, provision had been made for further education and training of the J.P.

"For those whose formal education stopped short of the Inns of Court, there were formal numbers of practical manuals produced as the author of one puts i t , 'to further the good endever of such gentlemen as bee trained up i n the continual study of the lawes.'" [10]

"The. Kuitiallxn MagLitKCUtt", a practical manual written by the Attorney General, John Hubert Plunkett, was produced for the same purpose of guiding J.P.s in their everyday duty on the Bench of New South Wales. [11]

A legal competence was common among Justices of the Peace. When they had not been formally trained i n law, the general education they had received produced Justices who were competent. They also had the opportunity to learn much from sitting on the Bench and observing the comportment of their brother magistrates. The clerk was often very competent. This was the case with our local Clerk of the Bench, Thomas Cade Battley, who was ready to give advice when solicited. Most had spent a number of years in the office and had a wide experience of the way to conduct the bench proceedings.

The services of the Justices of the Peace were virtually unpaid, and for that reason very well appreciated by the central administration. However, the office was onerous, mainly because of the time required to be devoted to the duties of attending on the bench.

THE LOCAL MAGISTRATES' DUTIES

The duties of the magistrates were of two natures; f i r s t l y , the keeping of the peace and dispensing of justice, and secondly, those duties of an administrative nature. These included f i l l i n g out and sending returns, taking Innkeepers' recognizances, mustering convicts, enforcing numerous regu­lations, licensing of alehouses, timber cutting and slaughter­houses, and advising on the e l i g i b i l i t y or otherwise of persons being granted a Ticket of Leave.

The Justice of the Peace i n Eighteenth Century England

The court had no power to hear c i v i l suits. Its jurisdiction did not extend to treason and some other major crimes, but this s t i l l l e f t the Justices to deal with murders, assaults, thefts, witchcraft, poaching and the countless other crimes l i k e l y to be committed i n a lawless countryside. In the lawless rural settlements of New South Wales i n the nineteenth century, the Justices were not called upon to judge witch­craft cases, but a l l the other crimes were represented -poaching on a grand scale was called cattle thieving in England and cattle duffing in Australia. The punishment available to the Justices i n New South Wales was not nearly as comprehensive and extensive as that available to the magistrates of the 17th century. They were flogging, ironing and gaoling, which were the only retributions available to our local magistrates, and then with the limitations of f i f t y or a hundred lashes (to the great disappointment of Henry Donnlson), or returning the offender to Sydney for t r i a l or for special treatment such as the tread-mill, iron gangs, etc. The earlier English magistrates could choose from hanging, branding, and whipping - as distinct from flogging. In England, flogging was common, hanging frequent; vagrants were branded and the parents of bastard children were whipped.

Notwithstanding the Justices' authority or even local power, the Crown and the Privy Council gave i t s orders to the local rulers and were expected to Intervene i f they were not duly executed. The Privy Council did not allow the Justices to forget for long that they were under i t s supervision and control. As a succession of orders and letters l a i d new

demands upon them, the Council did not hesitate to see that these were properly carried out, nor was i t slow in punishing cases of negligence. It was always willing to investigate complaints of neglect or oppression brought against Justices. Cases of maladministration might be heard in chancery or by Justices of oyer and terminer, who were specially empowered to hear indictments on treasons, felonies and so on.

In our times, Justices were even more subject to scrutiny by the closeness of our d i s t r i c t to the seat of central administration, and the eagerness of newspapers to expose what they could construe as disgraceful conduct by local authority to help sales of their newspapers. They used mainly two devices: one was the letters to the editor (often with a tone of virtuous indignation), or reports made by the correspondents, with indignation and sarcasm. The f i l e of articles produced by Tkz Sydnzy Gazzttz at the time of the BlJUbanz (JJatzn. CaiZi i n 1837/38 is a good example of the Influence newspapers sought to exercise in relation to actions of Justices and Police Magistrates.

The rights of the individual were thus safeguarded to a certain extent against incompetent or biased ways of the local magistrate.

S t i l l , the country gentry formed the backbone of country society.

Differences Between the Justices of the Peace in England and i n the Colony

The system in New South Wales was obviously similar to that which was i n force i n England as i t was an institution brought directly from the Mother Country. However, the systems differed i n two respects, due to the particular nature of the Colony.

The Church was not represented on the benches at the time we are studying. Earlier, men of the cloth had been appointed magistrates, as was the custom in England. The Bishop of Australia was a de facto member of the Legislative Council, [12] and the Rev. Samuel Marsden was a magistrate at Parramatta. On occasions Marsden even tried his own servants, sentencing them to the lash or whatever, and ensured that the sentence was carried out.

In England i t had generally been the custom to appoint clergymen to the Commission of the Peace. The "Long Parliament", however, secured the exclusion of clergy and diocesan o f f i c i a l s in 1640 as part of i t s attack on the ecclesiastic hierarchy.

Later, the a b i l i t y of the clergy to be appointed was restored. The number of c l e r i c a l Justices on the Gloucestershire bench, for example, was growing throughout the century, un t i l by the 1780s there were fifteen. In Wiltshire too, the number of cleric Justices had shown a steady increase throughout the century.

The representation of the clergy on the bench during that century grew steadily. In 1811, Cobbett declared in his ToVUtLcal RtgUtZA that:

"In the country more than two-thirds, I believe, of those who attend at the Quarter Sessions are clergymen of the Church of England."

"The system placed the magistrates in the dubious position of on the one hand virtually i n i t i a t i n g a prosecution as head of the police, and on the other hand of acting as judge in a case he had himself initiated."

Governor Ph i l l i p was following a well-established practice therefore when he appointed Richard Johnson, the Colonial Chaplain, to the Magistracy within months of landing at Sydney Cove.

Major Grose dispensed with the c i v i l magistrates within days of Phillip's departure. When Hunter returned as Governor in 1795, he quickly reinstated the c i v i l magistrates, including [15],[16] Johnson. Several other Anglican clerg3nnen sat on the Bench; their judicial duties could only damage the cause of Colonial Christianity.

There were clergymen on the benches of Parramatta, Windsor and Wllberforce, of the Castlereagh, Airds and Appin dis t r i c t s , in Tasmania and at Norfolk Island.

The practice of appointing the clergy as magistrates in New South Wales came to an end i n 1827. It was discontinued by Governor Darling on the advice of Archdeacon Scott. [17]

In 1843 Alfred Holden expressed regret at the absence of the local parson from the number of the Councillors. Requested to supply names of suitable candidates, he answered the Governor's Private Secretary that there were very few suitable candidates, and ended his letter:

"I wish more than I can express that our excellent Clergyman Mr. Rogers could be of the numbers . • . and i f he cannot be appointed I would much wish at

the least his confidential opinion could be obtained..." [

In view of the acrimony in local p o l i t i c s , the coercive nature of the duties and punitive actions that the local magistrates were bound to adopt, i t seems quite appropriate that a clergyman was prevented from sitting on the bench where he may have been led to compel assigned servants - on the threat of physical punishment - to attend his own church's religious services.

Comparing the Police Force and the Bench in England and in the Colony;

There was a fundamental difference between the two concepts and their application which can be immediately summarised as follows: In England there was no established police force, and in the Colony there was a police establishment maintained by the Government.

The peacekeeping machinery of England during the Napoleonic Wars was more or less what i t had been during the year of the Armada. The duty of police was voluntary and amateur. The Justice remained the essential guardian of established order.

Amateurs who offered their services were paid by result. The saying "No sedition, no pay!" meant that voluntary forces of police were assembled only in cases of emergency, in particular when situations arose such as riots, plundering gangs roaming the countryside, and organised disruption of the peace. Action on anything beyond this depended upon the Justices and the forces they controlled ujhlck we^e not paid I

Three instruments were available to suppress riots, a l l of which could be called on by the magistrates. The f i r s t was the voluntary defence associations which could be constituted by any loyal minority and their expenses paid by voluntary subscriptions. The equivalent to that system in the Colony, in cases of emergency, were parties led by public-minded settlers, or the formation of posses, set up to hunt the bushrangers and various other malefactors.

This system of vigilantes or voluntary self-defence is quite i l l e g a l nowadays.

The second resort was to assemble a compulsory levy - the old system of "Watch and Ward" revised and brought up to date by an Act of 1812. Both were resorted to occasionally

[18] April 1, 1843.

Page 25: Bench books & court cases 1826 1874 Historical Records of the Central Coast of New South Wales

14

and spasmodically. They were common practices which were o f f i c i a l l y endorsed as long as they had been called by and were under the authority of the local magistrate. Locally, this took the form of a punitive force of armed settlers.

If these two modes were not successful, often because of the repugnance of the participants, then the Magistrate could c a l l on the M i l i t i a , a local armed force. When the M i l i t i a , as often happened, showed reluctance in putting down local unrest by fighting against neighbours, then the Magistrate could c a l l in the military forces, which surprisingly they often did.

There was no M i l i t i a in NSW, but the equivalent was to c a l l in the armed forces from Sydney, as was done by Willoughby Bean. In February, 1827, having received Information that a group of bushrangers was in the vi c i n i t y . Bean requested that a corporal and a party be sent from Sydney. Bean was [19] sent a military party from the 39th Regiment under a Lieutenant acting as Brigade Major. In doing this. Bean was following a British tradition. The military parties were subordinate to the Magistrate and followed his instructions.

In NSW, however, the local Magistrates or the Police Magistrate had under their authority a regular police establishment consist­ing of constables, a lock-up keeper, a scourger, etc., appointed to the position and regularly paid by the government.

This establishment arose from the particular nature of the penal settlement. The most l i k e l y breaches of the peace were expected to come from government servants - the convicts -and i t was therefore Incumbent upon the government to police i t s own delinquents and felons.

At that time, in the 1830's, the peacekeeping machinery at the disposal of the local authorities over most of rural England, consisted, much as i t had done for the previous four centuries, of the high constables of the hundreds (an administrative subdivision comprising a number of parishes) supported by the petty constables of the parishes and town­ships. The latter was a particularly unpopular office, involving neither status nor remuneration.

In Victorian England the whole community was expected to turn out to assist the peace officers in the event of a disturbance.

In England in 1839, fifty-three boroughs possessed no police, and in 1848 twenty-two corporate towns were s t i l l without one.

15

Even after the disturbances of 1842 In the West Riding, Lord Wharncllffe wrote to the Home Office In October of that year that there was not the slightest probability of a rural police being established In the county.

The Norfolk police in 1841 were rather Ingloriously forced to detain their prisoners by chaining them to bed-posts or to mangers in stables for lack of more efficient lock-ups.

In NSW, the troublesome or violent convicts were similarly chained to heavy logs or trees in the very f i r s t years of settlement, but locally, three years after the arrival of the f i r s t settlers, a lock-up and watch house of some description had been provided by Willoughby Bean at Brisbane Water. He also had three permanent paid constables under his authority.

The organisation of the police system in the colony in the 1830's may appear to modern eyes to have been primitive, but by com­parison to the system operating in England, i t was well-organised and was due, as we have seen, to the original status of penal colony where a police force was a necessity from the beginning; no such need had been f e l t in rural England. The colony was managed by a centralised armed organisation, where the Governor wielded much power and Initiative. Police organisation in rural England had been l e f t through centuries to the Justices' Initiatives or lack of i t , the main problem being to find funds for salaries. The funds needed for the Colonial police came from the Military Chest; they came from the Mother Country and not from the pockets of the Colonists, who were the ones who benefited the most from the exertions of the police which guaranteed their interests in a certain measure.

It was therefore to be expected that the Home Office would seek means to save the expenses of Colonial police forces from the Military Chest by shifting the cost, or part of i t , onto those who most benefited.

This was a l l the more logical when the discontinuation of transportation greatly reduced the convicts; the original reason for which police had been organised and funded by the Colonial Office.

In 1843 the District Councils were formed. One of their objectives and the main cause of the opposition to their acceptance, was to place half the cost of maintaining the police forces upon the free settlers, who argued that the existence of the force was entirely due to the presence of convicts and therefore was the responsibility of the govern­ment and should be supported by i t .

The funding of Police Establishments loomed large in the discussions and were a significant part of the reason for

bringing about the rejection of District Councils and also of local government when i t was proposed - the prospect of independence also carried with i t the likelihood of large costs to the community.

The concept of local parish police was not sustainable as i t equated with fragmentation of forces. Local recruitment and training would lead to forces of various efficiencies and different potentials for successful results.

In England, the f i r s t professionally conducted police force was one which Peel organised in London, hence the common nickname "Peelers". This was the f i r s t metropolitan police force established.

"The suggestion of instituting a professional police force, trained, controlled and paid by local taxation, was greeted with cries of horror as 'continental' and 'Tyrannous'. It was assumed that there were throughout the country local gentry of Integrity and abi l i t y who could be counted upon to defend the rights of property and restrain society within i t s proper channels." [20]

It was at last recognised that a police force must be based upon centralisation and uniformity, sharing Information and training, and be above parish rivalry.

A D M I N I S T R A T I O N

ENFORCEMENT OF LAW AND ORDER IN THE EARLY YEARS

The behaviour of i n d i v i d u a l s i n a free s o c i e t y i s not l e f t e n t i r e l y to t h e i r own choice. The group to which they belong expects them to behave according to a code of r u l e s accepted by the m a j o r i t y .

In more evolved and l a r g e r s o c i a l groups the accepted behaviour i s w r i t t e n i n a code of laws which has been edicted i n a defined manner and the a p p l i c a t i o n of the law i s entrusted to people appointed f o r that purpose.

The process of making laws and of ensuring that they are respected may be vested i n a unique a u t h o r i t y which may be a group of people or a s i n g l e i n d i v i d u a l .

In the e a r l y days of the Colony, the Governor was the maker and the enforcer of the r u l e s , but as great as h i s power was, i t was s t i l l l i m i t e d . The Governor had to conform to the t r a d i t i o n a l laws of England as defined and a p p l i e d there. He a l s o was required to r e f e r to the Home Secretary f o r con­f i r m a t i o n that h i s r e g u l a t i o n s were l a w f u l . In some cases h i s orders were declared i n v a l i d , f o r instance, when he d i r e c t e d free c i t i z e n s to be mustered.

The Governor r e l i e d on the m i l i t a r y and the p o l i c e to enforce the l e g i s l a t i o n and to see that h i s r e g u l a t i o n s were respected. O c c a s i o n a l l y , he a l s o delegated h i s powers when he was absent or too remote from the areas where h i s a d m i n i s t r a t i o n extended f o r him to be able to supervise d i r e c t l y .

When a d i s t r i c t , h i t h e r t o u n s e t t l e d , became open to settlement, grants of land were given. In the space of a few years the area would become populated. I t then became e s s e n t i a l to ensure that common laws were respected to protect the i n h a b i t a n t s curb the delinquents, and see that the p a r t i c u l a r e d i c t s of the Government were complied w i t h . A r e p r e s e n t a t i o n of the c e n t r a l a d m i n i s t r a t i o n had to be implemented as soon as i t was perceived to be necessary.

BRISBANE WATER

The f i r s t grants i n t h i s part of the Colony are dated from 1823. They were mostly large grants - i n the c o a s t a l region at l e a s t - and as many landowners l i v e d i n Sydney, they put

a large number of assigned servants ( c o n v i c t s ) to work on t h e i r estates to cut down the timber and c l e a r the land.

They were a rather unruly mob and had to be held i n check i f a modicum of s o c i a l order was to be preserved. In 1826 i t had become urgent to set up a proper l o c a l a u t h o r i t y .

THE JUSTICES OF THE PEACE

The usual way to ensure order i n England was to appoint l o c a l r e s i d e n t s to the Commission of the Peace, empowering them, as J u s t i c e s of the Peace, to represent the a u t h o r i t y and to enforce the laws. The J.P.s met at r e g u l a r i n t e r v a l s i n a Court House, and they sat side by side to take d e p o s i t i o n s , to t r y lawbreakers i n minor cases, and to i n s t r u c t the con­s t a b l e s (who were under t h e i r d i r e c t a u t h o r i t y ) to apprehend mi s c h i e f makers. The more serious cases of felony, murder and the l i k e were r e f e r r e d to a higher j u r i s d i c t i o n .

The l o c a l magistrates conducted C o r o n i a l i n q u i r i e s i n cases of sudden death, and t h e i r a u t h o r i t y extended g e n e r a l l y to matters of p u b l i c concern: disturbances, petty t h e f t s , arson, larceny, contraband, poaching, c a t t l e s t e a l i n g and g e n e r a l l y a l l i l l i c i t a c t i v i t i e s of which they became aware.

Their actions were, however, c l o s e l y watched by the c e n t r a l a d m i n i s t r a t i o n by which they were appointed. The Commission of J u s t i c e of the Peace was granted f o r a space of two years and was not renewed a u t o m a t i c a l l y .

The Area, the System, the Men, and t h e i r Records

The Area; The P o l i c e D i s t r i c t of Brisbane Water covered the present l o c a l government areas of Gosford and Wyong. I t extended from Broken Bay i n the south to Lake Macquarie as high as the mouth of Dora Creek i n the north, and i n the west as f a r as Wiseman's Ferry.

The System was that of appointed P o l i c e Magistrates who, i n s p e c i a l cases, r e l i e d on the support of l o c a l J u s t i c e s of the Peace. The o f f i c e of P o l i c e M a g i s t r a t e , which was a s a l a r i e d p o s i t i o n , was discontinued at Brisbane Water i n 1844. From that year, the a d m i n i s t r a t i v e o f f i c e was f i l l e d

by L o c a l M a g i s t r a t e s , that i s , the l o c a l J u s t i c e s of the Peace, who sat together i n twos or threes to administer j u s t i c e , d i r e c t the l o c a l p o l i c e f o r c e , and forward reports and returns to the c e n t r a l a u t h o r i t y i n Sydney.

In 1867, the system reverted to appointed s a l a r i e d P o l i c e Magistrates who held s p e c i a l powers defined i n an Act of 1857, to enable them to act alone i n t h e i r c a p a c i t y of magistrate.

Their Records; They l e f t us seven r e g i s t e r s f o r Brisbane Water dated from 1826 to 1874. The f i r s t i s the r e g i s t e r opened by Willoughby BEAN i n August 1826, t i t l e d " T i c k e t s of Leave and other Quarterly Returns &c".

The s i x others are n e a t l y d i v i d e d i n t o three Bench Books (covering 1835 to 1874) and three Deposition Books (1836 to 1872), the number of pages being 1,352 and 1,051 r e s p e c t i v e l y , b r i n g i n g the t o t a l number of pages to 2,944. This does not include the pages l i s t i n g content matter and the indexes of names which have been com­p i l e d f o r each of the seven r e g i s t e r s . A separate amalgamated index and a separate r e g i s t e r of content matter w i t h i n t r o ­ductions to a l l the r e g i s t e r s from 1826 to 1874 have a l s o been produced (of which t h i s i s the i n t r o d u c t i o n ) . We therefore have a very comprehensive record of the magistrates of the P o l i c e D i s t r i c t of Brisbane Water covering nearly h a l f a century.

LOCAL POLICE MAGISTRATES

There were four e a r l y P o l i c e Magistrates charged w i t h admin­i s t e r i n g the d i s t r i c t of Brisbane Water from 1826 to 1844.

In the f i r s t few years the population was ra t h e r sparse, t o t a l l i n g only 99 souls at the time of the 1828 Census, and composed l a r g e l y of assigned servants and T i c k e t of Leave h o l d e r s , s t i l l t h e o r e t i c a l l y bound to masters, or required to stay i n a designated area. Owing to the nature of the population, i t was necessary to have a l o c a l magistracy to represent the Government; few were able or q u a l i f i e d to s i t on the Bench.

In 1826, only one re s i d e n t was found to f u l f i l the conditions r e q u i r e d f o r the p o s i t i o n . He was Willoughby BEAN, His land was a 2000 acre grant at E r i n a extending to T e r r i g a l . He had h i s home, which he c a l l e d AmboL&e.} b u i l t on the banks of E r i n a Creek. BEAN was not married at t h i s time. The

r e s p o n s i b i l i t y of h i s o f f i c e was impressive, and the time he had to devote to i t was great. He had only three constables to a s s i s t him i n keeping order i n a huge d i s t r i c t . He had no c l e r k to keep h i s books or w r i t e the correspondence. He had to b u i l d a watch house and lock-up, and h i s home was the Court House. He al s o had to develop h i s own land make a l i v i n g .

He took up h i s appointment i n August 1826. By June, 1831, he was in s o l v e n t and was i n v i t e d to r e s i g n h i s o f f i c e .

The o f f i c e was l e f t vacant f o r two years as no-one could be found who was w i l l i n g to take on the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y of the job.

A p e t i t i o n of the i n h a b i t a n t s was c o l l e c t e d and sent to Governor DARLING j u s t as he was about to leave the Colony. F i n a l l y , a r e t i r e d army l i e u t e n a n t who had taken up land i n the f a r north of the d i s t r i c t was induced by Governor BOURKE to take up the appointment that he had p r e v i o u s l y d e c l i n e d . Jonathan WARNER was h i s name, and he v i s i t e d the d i s t r i c t twice a month. I t was a rather long journey from WARNER's home at School H i l l o verlooking Warner's Bay, Lake Macquarie, to the Court House at Brisbane Water, tak i n g him two days to t r a v e l each way. At one stage WARNER took steps to move to Brisbane Water w i t h h i s fa m i l y , but ev e n t u a l l y he resigned the p o s i t i o n , probably through f r u s t r a t i o n .

His successor was appointed immediately i n October, 1836. Alured Tasker FAUNCE was a m i l i t a r y c a p t a i n who had no previous connection with the d i s t r i c t or i t s p o p u l a t i o n . He made mistakes i n h i s handling of l o c a l a f f a i r s and he antagonised some i n d i v ­i d u a l s assumed by him to have been i m p l i c a t e d i n unlawful c a t t l e d e a l i n g s . He could not j u s t i f y h i s heavy-handed actions against these i n d i v i d u a l s i n a court of law, and he l e f t the d i s t r i c t i n March 1837.

A l f r e d HOLDEN, FAUNCE's successor, came i n December 1837. He had been magistrate at I l l a w a r r a , and had experienced troubles s i m i l a r to those encountered here by FAUNCE, but had been v i n d i c a t e d . He was very s u c c e s s f u l l o c a l l y , and h i s stay was the longest. He saw the d i s t r i c t grow to 1,075 souls by 1841. He witnessed the change from r u r a l settlement to the c r e a t i o n of urban centres - small v i l l a g e s r a t h e r , but wi t h p o t e n t i a l f o r an urban s o c i e t y ,

He was magistrate when PEEK's Township at Brisbane Water was surveyed i n 1838 and the f i r s t allotments s o l d i n February of that year. Soon a f t e r 1841 he saw the Government township take shape. He took part i n the establishment l o c a l l y of the Church of England. He was a t r u s t e e of the church lands, and chairman of a committee f o r the b u i l d i n g of a parsonage, a school and two churches. He a l s o saw the disappearance of the assignment system which changed the nature of l o c a l s o c i e t y . He a l s o had a l a r g e r p o l i c e f o r c e .

HOLDEN resigned when Governor GIPPS created the D i s t r i c t Councils and appointed him Warden. I t was a time of Government money-saving p o l i c y . Many P o l i c e Magistrate p o s i t i o n s were abolished and that saved much money. The p o s i t i o n of Warden was not remunerated.

A l f r e d HOLDEN received the appointment of Warden of the new C o u n c i l , a purely honorary o f f i c e , i n exchange f o r a s a l a r i e d p o s i t i o n . He had no p r i v a t e income, and as he had a large family and had to make a l i v i n g , he resigned. He was n e i t h e r an ex-army o f f i c e r nor a landowner. He l e f t Gosford, but remained i n the d i s t r i c t f o r a short time, l i v i n g at Newport at the mouth of Dora Creek, before moving away.

This brought about the end of the P o l i c e Magistrates as they had been f u n c t i o n i n g f o r 18 years.

EARLY POLICE FORCE IN BRISBANE WATER

The Chief or District Constables

Finding candidates willing and able to perform the duties of constable was a recurring problem for the local Police Magistrates during the early years of our settlement. In most cases, the Magistrates were forced to resort to the appointment of former or even current prisoners of the Crown, Most of these constables were neither satisfactory nor reliable. Few could read, and fewer could write. It was even more d i f f i c u l t to f i l l the position of Chief Constable, also referred to as District Constable.

Robert HENDERSON was our f i r s t District Constable, appointed In Apr i l , 1825, even before the local Police Magistrate, who was not appointed before 1826. We do not know exactly how long HENDERSON acted as Chief Constable, or the date on which he ceased those duties.

In April 1831, CAPE of Wyong wrote a letter to complain to the Governor about the Inefficiency of the local Police Force.f7j A report from Maltland dated 6th A p r i l replies to the facts advanced by CAPE.

In the letter of complaint, CAPE wrote;

"I hope I may be permitted to ask why the Government continues i n their employ as constables in the District of Northumberland Messrs. HENDERSON....regular farming and trading men totally unfit for the office."

The report concurs with CAPE, stating:

"The District Constable HENDERSON alone possesses a farm, he i s said to be a man of some property, speculates in ship building and owns a trading vessel....He appears to be an active intelligent man but I consider i t quite impossible that he can do his duty efficiently with so many other things to attend to. Your Excellency (may) determine on appointing some person to the office whose private affairs are less l i k e l y to take up his attention than HENDERSON."

It i s evident that being a farmer with fourteen men (eight free and six assigned servants) on 500 acres, and acquiring more land a l l the time - he was the eighth largest landholder i n 1828 -HENDERSON could not devote much time to what should have been a f u l l time profession, that of a Chief Constable. He was also the owner of a coastal trader assuring regular supplies to the d i s t r i c t .

From Police reports, we know that there was a Chief Constable at Brisbane Water in 1835 with an annual income of £75, but i n 1836, a Chief Constable was wanted.

Finding a suitable candidate to replace HENDERSON was not as easy a task as we might imagine when we study the antics of the constables under BEAN and WARNER. A James DANNELL was approached and offered the position, but he declined.

Robert SCOTT, an ordinary constable, was appointed to the position of Chief Constable under WARNER. He i s mentioned in a report on the death of James McMAHON, dated 12th July 1836.[2] We know of him mostly through his deficiencies in f u l f i l l i n g the duties of his position.

"A man calling himself James THOMPSON was apprehended... was placed in the lockup under the charge of Mr. SCOTT, the Chief Constable, on 9th July 1836. THOMPSON escaped from the constable but was retaken...On 13th July SCOTT took THOMPSON under his charge...on 14th July THOMPSON escaped and i s s t i l l at large "

WARNER called SCOTT a "milksop" and gives his opinion that James DREW who arrived here as lockup keeper on 10th July 1836 w i l l make a good Chief Constable.f5J

A. T. FAUNCE, the new Magistrate, would not put up with the improper behaviour of the Force. He dismissed most of i t in the persons of his Chief Constable and his scourger/lockup keeper.

In a letter dated 4th March 1837, Captain FAUNCE reports that:

"Robert SCOTT, former Chief Constable, was charged with neglecting to report the drunkenness of the scourger, and on another date for taking WYATT [tk^ icouigZA] and a female prisoner of the Crown (whom the scourger had i n charge) to a house and drinking with them."

The Chief Constable had therefore been dismissed for improper conduct in December 1836, causing the position to become vacant again.

Robert SCOTT i s not found in the 1828 Census or on any other l i s t . We know of him only through the mention of his name and the instance of his dismissal. He does not seem to have stayed in the d i s t r i c t .

On 31st December 1836, FAUNCE recommended for the Governor's consideration the name of James DREW, the lockup keeper, to be appointed Chief Constable i n lieu of Robert SCOTT, dismissed.

James DREW was a former sergeant in the 4th Regiment. He was recommended by Jonathan WARNER for the position of lockup keeper, to which he was appointed on 10th July 1836. He was subsequently recommended and appointed to the position of Chief Constable. He resigned this position, however, on 30th September 1837.

Magistrate FAUNCE recommended to the Governor that Dennis DWYER, also a discharged sergeant from the 4th Regiment, succeed James DREW and this recommendation was approved, Dennis DWYER was to stay in that position u n t i l 1852 when he resigned.

We have no further Information on James DREW. A "Mr. DREW" appears i n some court cases in 1862, but this could be referring to HELY's brother-in-law.

Thomas Cade BATTLEY

The name of Thomas Cade BATTLEY is indissolubily linked withthe early history of this district where he lived for over54 years, 36 of which he served in an official capacity asclerk of a host of services . He also had a lifetime involve-ment with the local Church of England.

T.C. BATTLEY was the son of Lieutenant-Colonel William BATTLEYof the 60th Rifles, and was descended from a distinguishedIrish Protestant family.

Thomas BATTLEY arrived in the district before 1838 . He settledat the northern tip of The Entrance Peninsula on the 640 acreswhich had been originally promised to Henry HOLDEN in 1828.Like many settlers unprepared for agricultural pursuits andthe career of a gentleman farmer, Thomas BATTLEY became insolvent,and in 1843 he and his family were living at East Gosford.

He became clerk to the Police Magistrate (Alfred HOLDEN) early

in August , 1843. From then on, BATTLEY acted as clerk tothe Bench of Magistrates of Brisbane Water, registrar of theCourt of Requests , Clerk of Petty Sessions , Land Agent, &c.

He was also Post Master (a position he resigned in 1860) andwarden of Christ Church.

The BATTLEY family was well-known and respected . Many children

married locally . The children were:-

Rosa Ann, born in 1835Thomas Cade, 1837Eliza Emily, 1839Arabella, 1841William, 1845Henriette Elizabeth, 1847

The first two children were baptised together in February1838 in Sydney by William COWPER. Rosa Ann died in 1859.Eliza Emily married the Rev. John SHAW in 1867. WilliamBATTLEY died in 1929; his wife Harriet died in 1923.

Two sisters of Thomas Cade BATTLEY arrived about the sametime, and probably with him. They were Caroline Ann who marriedEdward Lindsey HELY, who died in 1882, and Harriett, who marriedWilloughby BEAN in 1838.

Thomas Cade BATTLEY retired from official duties in 1880. Hehad become a Justice of the Peace , a significant title at thattime. In May 1880, a testimonial of appreciation for his longand valuable service was conferred on him by the citizens ofGosford assembled in the Court House. He died on 18 September,1892 at the great age of 88, and was buried in Point Frederickcemetery.

Willoughby BEAN

Willoughby BEAN was born in Hampshire , England, the eldestof eleven children . His father was a Major in the ColdstreamGuards and his mother was Elizabeth , n4e HAFFEY . Major BEANwas made a prisoner in the Napoleonic wars and was assignedto reside in the town of Amboise in France where he was tospend the rest of the war. His family joined him there.When the hostilities were over , Major BEAN and and his familystayed on in France . Willoughby returned to England to finishhis schooling and then emigrated to Australia in 1824. Hiscousin, Henry Gunsley WATSON , came to Australia at the same time.

BEAN was promised a grant of 2,000 acres by Governor BOURNE. Hetook up and settled on his grant at Erina . In August, 1826, hewas appointed the local Police Magistrate . He held court andadministered summary justice from his house at Erina which hehad called "Amboie.". He proceeded to build a Watch Houseand lock-up.

In 1831, after becoming insolvent, he had to relinquish theoffice of Police Magistrate. He stayed on in the districtmanaging estates and dealing in cattle for absentee landownerssuch as MANNING.

While he was dealing in cattle , he was caught up in "The B,%,UbaneWatea Ca4e " when the then local Police Magistrate , Alured TaskerFAUNCE, initiated proceedings against BEAN , Henry DONNISON andJohn MOORE . It seems that a cow whose ownership was in disputehad been slaughtered by DONNISON, who had bought it from MOOREfrom a herd originally sold by BEAN . The accused were eventuallyexonerated and BEAN received some compensation for having beenput in irons without justification.

In 1837, shortly after the conclusion of the Case , BEAN marriedHarriett BATTLEY, the sister of Thomas Cade BATTLEY, a localresident and Clerk of the Bench.

By 1839, Willoughby BEAN had left the district. He was farmingat Banksmeadow when he once again became insolvent.

In 1844, the BEANS and two children left Australia for GreatBritain . They went to Lampeter in Wales where Willoughbystudied for Holy Orders.

In 1848, the family returned to Australia, settling at PortPhillip. Willoughby was ordained a Deacon and posted toWilliamstown and in 1849 he became itinerant minister inGippsland . In his later years he was appointed Chaplain atYarra Bend and Kew. He died in Melbourne in 1877. HarriettBattley BEAN died at South Yarra aged 86.

Henry DONNISON

Henry DONNISON was one of the second wave of early settlersin Brisbane Water. He arrived in the Colony in the year ofthe 1828 Census, but was not one of the 99 inhabitants whohad moved to Brisbane Water between 1823 and 1828.

Henry DONNISON of the Parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields,Middlesex, bachelor, had married Margaret HENDERSON of theParish of Boldon, Durham, on 24th April, 1817 at Boldon, bylicence. Henry was an insurance broker. The couple movedto London where the first of their five daughters was born.Hannah DONNISON was born in the Parish of St. George-in-the-East in September 1819. Margaret was born next in the sameParish in October, 1821, and she died in infancy. So didEmma, who was buried in October, 1825 at Kennington, Surrey,in the Parish of St. Marks. Eliza, the fourth daughter, wasborn at Kennington in March, 1824.

The DONNISONS decided to settle in Australia with their twosmall surviving daughters, Hannah aged 9, and Eliza aged 4.

They arrived in Hobart Town on 29 July 1828, later in theyear moving to Hunter Street, Sydney where Henry becameestablished as a merchant. A fifth daughter, Laura, wasborn in Sydney, and was baptised in January, 1830.

On 23rd October, 1832, a parcel of land of 2,000 acres, No. 67,an original grant to Willoughby BEAN, was advertised. Theestate, named "Erin", was at Brisbane Water. At the end of1832, the DONNISONS moved north to establish themselves atErina. With them came Daniel BERRY and Henry ANDERSON, twoassigned servants.

It seems that Henry DONNISON had truly pioneered a large-scaletimber industry on his estate. He was also part of the socialstructure of the district. He was a Justice of the Peace andsat on the bench with WARNER, who was then Police Magistrate,from the earliest days of his arrival.

All of his life, DONNISON took a keen interest in the administra-tion.of the law, the enforcement of order, and the dispensationof retribution. Together with John MOORE, he forcibly complainedwhen lesser settlers were given positions of authority. Hestrenuously objected to T. A. SCOTT sitting on the Bench, aformer Pound Keeper. He saw this as a deliberate insult tohimself and the class he represented.

He was one of those prosecuted in The Bk.L,5bane Wa-tea Cate a{1837-38; he was a Councillor of the District Council; and hewas a Trustee for the Church of England. DONNISON was killedin July 1847 as a result of a fractured skull, suffered when alimb of a tree fell on him as he was talking to some of his

sawyers. He is buried at Point Frederick cemetery.

Henry Grattan DOUGLASS

Surgeon and magistrate, Dr. DOUGLASS was born in 1791, theson of a Dublin physician. He arrived in Sydney with hisfamily in May 1821 and was immediately appointed to be amagistrate and an assistant surgeon.

DOUGLASS ' early life in the colony was often marred by slanderand conflict caused by his desire to help ameliorate the con-ditions under which the less-fortunate citizens of the colonylived. Full details of these conflicts can be found in volumesdealing with this period in Australia ' s history . Of note wasthe incident in 1825 when DOUGLASS and another magistrate causedSamuel MARSDEN to be charged with having permitted an assignedservant to work for his own benefit . The clergyman was convictedand fined and the Governor concurred in the sentence.

Eliza Emily DOUGLASS , a daughter of Henry Grattan DOUGLASS,married Archibald OSBORNE, a magistrate at Brisbane Water, on11th April 1849 at St . James' Church , Sydney. Archibald andEliza Emily OSBORNE had two sons, John Douglass OSBORNE andHenry Grattan Douglass OSBORNE, before Archibald died suddenlyin 1851.

Dr. DOUGLASS acted occasionally as a magistrate on the bench atBrisbane Water to help Boyd HORSBRUGH , who was the only magistratehere for a time. HORSBRUGH had been on his own because HARRISON,RELY, HARGRAVES and SCOTT had all lost their commissions followingin-fighting between the members of the bench . (RELY and SCOTTwere later restored ; HARRISON and HARGRAVES did not again siton the bench.) Boyd HORSBRUGH was not implicated in the bench'sdiscord as he had been away from the district for the twoprevious years; in 1861, he and his brother had temporarilyleft the district for the goldfields of Kiandra.

John MOORE came back to the district and his name appears inthe register on 12th April 1864. From then on HQRSBRUGH hadMOORE's company on the bench until SCOTT resumed bench dutiesin September and RELY in November.

Henry Grattan DOUGLASS was an important person in this ' periodof Australian history. He was responsible for landmark lawsbeing made , including that which brought about abolition ofpublic executions which was later copied in the other coloniesof Australia.

He helped his friend W. C. WENTWORTH establish the Universityof Sydney , and he was a member of the Senate of the Universityfrom 1853 to 1865.

He was also a member, from 1856 to 1861, of the LegislativeCouncil.

Henry Grattan DOUGLASS died in Sydney on 1st December 1865.

Dennis DWYER

In 1811, Dennis DWYER was born at Tipperary , Ireland, to a

poor Irish family. His father , James, was a carpenter carryingon a family tradition in this trade; his mother , Mary, worked

on a dairy . Dennis joined the Army, enlisting in the RoyalLancaster Regiment (also known as The King's Own Regiment)when he was about 16. In 1829, at the age of 18, he marriedAgnes CAINE of Glasgow , who was one year his senior.

In 1831, the regiment was ordered to do duty in New SouthWales. Dennis arrived in Van Diemen's Land on 15th November1831, transferring to Sydney in March, 1832. During the nextfive years , he was stationed at Parramatta (when he became a

corporal ), the Barracks in Sydney (receiving a promotion toLance-Sergeant ), Emu Plains , Carter's Barracks and finallythe Garrison where he received his discharge on 30th June1837.

As a literate , ex-army man , he had good prospects of a second

career in the police . He belonged to the same regiment as

Alured Tasker FAUNCE , the Police Magistrate at Brisbane Water,who appointed him Chief Constable . At the time of his appoint-ment DWYER had already been an ordinary constable for some time.

Dennis had three small children at this stage , and it must have

been about this time that plans were finalised for at leastsome of his family left behind in Ireland to follow him andemigrate to New South Wales. His mother , father, brother James

and a sister , Joanna, arrived in July 1839.

The whole family moved to Brisbane Water after Dennis' fatherhad fulfilled his bond to the government for payment of thefamily's passage . Dennis purchased land in the township, asmany constables did from the very first sale of urban allotments.His land was where Marketown now stands.

As he was literate, DWYER filled an important role in thepolice and administration of our district . He was appointedBailiff of the Court of Requests in 1841, made the Collector

of Quit Rents during the same year , and was later appointed

Inspector of Distilleries.

Dennis served as Chief Constable of the district for 20 years.He resigned on the grounds of ill-health on 19th March, 1859.

Earlier in the year, he had made the mistake of getting drunkwhilst on duty - an unforgivable sin for a Chief Constable!After receiving bad advice from members of the Bench, hiscase for a pension was disallowed.

He died on 10th June 1879 of "Old Age and Breaking up of theSystem" and was buried at Point Frederick Cemetery.

75

Alured Tasker FAUNCE

Born in 1808 , Alured Tasker FAUNCE was the son of Major-General Alured Dodsworth FAUNCE of Clifton, Bristol , England.He joined the army at the age of sixteen after havingreceived a good education. When FAUNCE lived at Queanbeyan,he lived the life of a gentleman , playing the flute andsinging for relaxation . His family must have been well-to-do. He had his portrait painted by Richard READ in1833 while he was still a Lieutenant , and became a Captainwhen he was 33.

Alured married Elizabeth MACKENZIE of Liverpool, NSW,in January 1835. At the time they were in that district,the couple had a daughter . No mention is made of hisfamily at Brisbane Water, and it is possible that he leftthem in a better environment at Liverpool , not bringingthem to a district where the conditions would certainlyhave been more primitive.

FAUNCE was the main character in a series of events whichbecame known as "The St.i56ane CVa teA Caze".

It would seem from evidence that FAUNCE proposed to stayand settle in the Brisbane Water District ; he bought25 acres of land on the outskirts of the town reservein September 1837, after he had lost the court cases inactions instigated by Willoughby BEAN and John MOORE(Henry DONNISON ' s action was delayed until October, 1837).Obviously the optimistic FAUNCE intended to stay on asPolice Magistrate.

However, after the deplorable episode of the originalcourt case , the acquittals of the defendants and the publicdisgrace of being sued as the Governor ' s representativeand condemned to pay reparations , it is possible thatHis Excellency thought FAUNCE had learned through histribulations the art of being a District Magistrate andhad matured through his mistakes . The Governor thereforeappointed him to a new post at the Limestone Plains, nowQueanbeyan.

He died suddenly on 26th April, 1856, whilst playing ina cricket match as wicket -keeper, at Queanbeyan.

Edward Hammond HARGRAVES

HARGRAVES ' fame derives from his claim of having discoveredthe first "payable gold " in New South Wales. Many studiesconclude that this claim was spurious . We do not enter intothe debate ; there has never been any gold in our districtand therefore we do not have immediate interest in his actionsand involvement in the goldfields situated outside our area.

E. H. HARGRAVES lived locally with his family in two periods.Between 1840 and 1849 he lived at East Gosford, and upon hisreturn from the goldfields in 1852, he lived at Norah Head.

Edward H. HARGRAVES was born at Gosport, a seaport oppositePortsmouth on Spithead , in 1816. He came to Australia in1832 as a cabin-boy of 16, on board the "Wave". Edward wasa hefty boy and grew in adulthood to a man of some six feetsix inches in height , with a weight in proportion scalingaround 19 stone.

Between his arrival and 1836, he worked on a cattle run nearBathurst , then went to sea collecting sea slugs in the TorresStrait, and returned to Bathurst. In late 1836 , aged 19years, he married Eliza MACKIE , daughter of a Sydney merchant.With his wife ' s money they took a hundred acres of grazingland near Dapto Creek in the Wollongong area, but after threedisappointing years, they sold out at a loss.

HARGRAVES then worked for a steamship company. In 1840, hewas appointed agent for the company at East Gosford. Healso bought allotments at East Gosford with his wife's moneyand in her name. He built an hotel, "The Fox Undvt The Hitt",at the bottom of Victoria Street at the public wharf. Healso ran a store and leased some small cottages . He becameinsolvent and in June , 1841, the uncompleted 12 room hotelwas sold to satisfy creditors ' demands.

Between the years 1849 and 1851, HARGRAVES made his fatefultrip to the California gold rush . The period from 1851 to1855 were his years of notoriety . He had bought 25 acresof land from Robert HENDERSON at Bungaree Norah in 1852,on the eve of his sailing for England to be presented toQueen Victoria . He bought further land from HENDERSON in1853 and proceeded to build a house fit for his position.

There were many times when HARGRAVES antagonised the majorityof the population , which included Rev. Alfred GLENNIE, whohas much to say about HARGRAVES in his journals.

HARGRAVES died of influenza at Forest Lodge on 29th October,1891. He is buried in the Church of England cemetery atWaverley.

James HARRISON

We know very little about James HARRISON and his family. Wedo not know from where they came, or to where they went whenthey left Brisbane Water. From the baptism registers, weknow that the children of James and Charlotte HARRISON were:-

Date o6 BL' th Chitd'a Name Fathen'.s Duckipti.on13 Sep. 1842 Alice Settler, Wyong1 Apr. 1843 Ridgeway Wyong Gentleman, Wyong

[Died 23 Mar. 1854, aged 11, buriedPoint Frederick Cemetery.]

20 Nov. 1844 Maud Jane Mona Gentleman, Wyong2 Aug. 1846 Charlotte Josephine Settler, Wyong11 Feb. 1848 James Thomas

27 Dec. 1850 Sarah Ann Settler, Wyong16 Oct. 1852 James Brisbane Henry Gentleman , East Gosford4 Nov. 1854 Sydney Thomas Gentleman, Mona Vale

However, it is through the pages of the Rev. Alfred GLENNIE'sjournal that we begin to find out what kind of people theHARRISON family were. There are many references to picnics,excursions and sailing parties, and through the pages of thejournals we know such things as the fact that Maud took musiclessons from Rev. GLENNIE, and that at "Mona Vale" there wasa piano, a black servant and a maid. It seems that JamesHARRISON lived as a retired gentleman.

As well as being one of the local Justices of the Peace, JamesHARRISON had, along with Henry DONNISON, been elected as aCouncillor of the Brisbane Water District Council in 1846for a term of three years. However, he did not serve hisfull term; by 1848 he had been replaced. This may have beenbecause of a temporary absence from the area. HARRISON'sname appears in the Bench Records from 1849 to 1861, and hehad been appointed Coroner in 1858. In 1861, along with HELY,HARGRAVES and Lyall SCOTT, he lost his commission . HELY andSCOTT resumed their bench duties the following year, butHARRISON never appeared again.

James HARRISON involved himself very much in the affairs ofthe Church. He was a Church Warden and in November 1858 hewas chosen unanimously as Lay Representative for the DistrictParish at the December Conference held at Morpeth, which heattended with Rev. GLENNIE.

HARRISON was very active in the local boat racing held onthe Broadwater.

The Rev. GLENNIE had been gone from Gosford for nearly sixyears when, on 30th January 1865, he recorded that he receiveda letter that evening from Mr. HARRISON announcing the deathof Mrs. HARRISON, without any further comment.

Hovenden HELY

Hovenden HELY was born in 1823 at Tullamore, Ireland, theson of Frederick Augustus HELY and Georgina BUCKNELL. Hecame to the Colony with his family on the "I.aabe ta" in 1823and was five years old in 1828. He was educated underW. T. CAPE at Parramatta King's School and became a clerkat the Colonial Secretary's Office for two years. His father,the Superintendent of Convicts, died in September, 1836 whenHovenden was 13 years old. In 1841, he was managing his father'sestate at Brisbane Water, in which he had a one-fifth share.

In 1846 and 1847 he was a member of one of LEICHHARDT's expedi-tions, together with his brother-in-law's brother, John Frederick

MANN. HELY was mainly in charge of the herd of goats. they tookwith them on this expedition. He left a journal of the expeditionwhich shows mutual distrust and dislike between LEICHHARDT andhimself. [1]

In 1849 he was back at "Wyoming" and appeared regularly asa magistrate on the local bench from 1849 to 1851. The followingyear he headed the official search for LEICHHARDT, who haddisappeared; however, the search was unsuccessful. In 1853and 1854 he was back at "Wyoming" and on the local bench. Inthe years 1856 and 1857 he represented Northumberland and theHunter River districts in the first Legislative Assembly.

HELY's sister married Gother K. MANN in 1838. MANN had beenliving locally between 1839 and 1843, acting as local magistratesitting on the bench, until he applied for the position ofsurveyor with the newly formed Sydney District Council.

Hovenden HELY borrowed heavily. He left for England in 1858,where he married Mary Gertrude CHURCH in Somerset. In 1860,he was back at Brisbane Water acting as local magistrate. In1860 he borrowed again and had financial problems. In 1862he lost his Commission of Justice of the Peace and, togetherwith three other magistrates, was dismissed from the bench.His Commission was restored in 1864 and his name appears againin the bench books in 1864 and 1865. In 1865 he was declaredbankrupt. His bankruptcy was discharged in 1868, when heagain resumed his Justice of the Peace duties on the benchuntil 1872, the year of his death.

HELY died at "Btcanthuwa.ite", St. Leonards, and was buried on9th October, 1872 in St. Thomas' Cemetery by Rev. W. B. CLARKE.He was 49.

The HELY's family estate, "Wyoming", was sold in 1887.

Robert HENDERSON

Robert HENDERSON was born in 1796 at Parramatta, the son oftwo Irish convicts, both from Dublin and who were both transportedon the "Sugax Cane" for 7 years. His father was Thomas, whofarmed 50 acres of land near Parramatta, and his mother wasMargaret. The HENDERSONS were Protestants.

In 1817, Robert married Catherine GEARY at St. John's Churchof England, Parramatta. Catherine was the daughter of PatrickGEARY (1763-1827), who died at Kincumber. Patrick GEARY andhis wife lived at Pitt Water where in 1826 he was DistrictConstable. Robert HENDERSON obtained a grant of 80 acresat Pitt Water. Patrick GEARY had a grant of 100 acres atBrisbane Water, to where Robert and Catherine HENDERSON movedin the very first years of local settlement.

Robert took up the duties of District Constable, to which officehe was appointed on 15th May, 1824. The appointment brought E25per annum while they were clearing the land and beginning to farm.He was the only Constable in the years 1824-25, even before a localMagistrate had been appointed to be in charge of the district.

HENDERSON began to acquire parcels of land in the district, andin September 1829 he left the local police. He built a numberof small vessels which were used to transport requirementsto the early settlers.

A man of many talents, he did not mind occasionally steppingoutside the law if there was a profit to be made with littlechance of detection. Of note was his implication in the caseof the "Fa,vc Ban.badtan", a large-scale smuggling of some hundredsof casks of rum and brandy which were hidden in one of the remotesmall arms of the Broken Bay he knew so well.

HENDERSON was described in the following terms in 1839 byPolice Magistrate HOLDEN:

"Mr. HENDERSON is a man of no Education who has becomepossessed of Considerable Property through his ownsteadiness & industry".

He was then leaving Brisbane Water to live in Sydney. Helater came back to Veteran's Hall and in 1850 he was electedto the District Council, and was later re-appointed.

He died from a cancer of the face in 1869 and was buried inhis private cemetery at Veteran's Hall. He had shown himselfto be a man of enterprise,.a successful farmer, an acquisitiveland owner, a local constable, a boat builder and owner, apublican, and, above all, a smart and sharp businessman.

Alfred HOLDEN

Alfred HOLDEN arrived from Worcestershire with his brother GeorgeKenyon HOLDEN . George Kenyon HOLDEN was the Private Secretary toGovernor BOURKE before he later established himself in privatepractice as a solicitor . Alfred was appointed Clerk of the Bench

at Port Macquarie in 1833. He -was later at Windsor , then received

a Commission as Magistrate at Illawarra.

While he was at Illawarra , he experienced a very similar situationto that which pitted FAUNGE against local landowners resulting ina series of court actions , and which became known as "The BkLabane

Wave Cade ". At the conclusion of the Illawarra court case,HOLDEN was appointed to Brisbane Water in 1838. He took overfrom Captain FAUNCE.

While he was at Dapto, Illawarra , Alfred HOLDEN married a daughterof Dr. Alick OSBORNE, one of a very well known and well establishedfamily of settlers. Alfred and his wife arrived at Brisbane Waterat a time when it was still a primitive rural settlement withouttownship or any urban facilities . HOLDEN acted with firmness andfairness and was very successful in controlling a turbulantpopulation.

HOLDEN took an active part in establishing the Church of Englandin this district . During the time he was in our area, he sawgreat improvements in the social environment. The administrativeestablishment had been improved : he had a Clerk of the Bench,

a police establishment , and a postal service had been set up

on a regular basis.

The survey of the township of.Gosford made in 1839 resultedin HOLDEN's family having to move from the site of the township,on which he had established himself, to the parcel of land onthe town outskirts on Narara Creek originally owned by hispredecessor FAUNCE.

Following the reduction of the Magistrates in the Colony afterthe establishment of District Councils in 1843, HOLDEN was appointedWarden of the Brisbane Water District Council, a position carryingno salary . As he had therefore lost his remunerated position ofPolice Magistrate , he had no option but to resign, as he didnot have an independent income. He went to Newport, a settlementon Dora Creek , and in 1849 moved further north to Penhurst onthe Upper Paterson. He had a large family of eleven - six daughters

and five sons.

The HOLDEN , OSBORNE and NUNN . families of Brisbane Water were

related to each other . Alfred HOLDEN and the OSBORNES camefrom the Illawarra district . Alfred had married Jane OSBORNE;Jane's cousin John Alexander OSBORNE married Emma Eliza NUNNof Green Point; and Willy NUNN married Fanny Gillam HOLDEN.

Boyd HORSBRUGH

Boyd HORSBRUGH was born in about 1818 in Scotland . He arrivedin New South Wales in March , 1838. He was the fifth son ofMajor Boyd HORSBRUGH of Loch Malony , and grandson of Major JamesHORSBRUGH of Mayfield , Fifeshire , Scotland . He received a privateeducation and was later sent to the Dollar Academy in Scotland.On the death of his father in 1837 he decided to emigrate toAustralia and apparently settled at Brisbane Water upon arrival.

He took an active part in politics both in Britain and in theColony. In the Colony , he campaigned for the return to Parliamentof various candidates , including Timothy CAPE and Hovenden HELYin 1843. In 1844 he became a magistrate of the Territories.He was a Justice of the Peace sitting regularly on the localbench, and he was appointed Coroner in 1848.

His brother Henry came out in 1847, returning to Scotland aftertwo years , but coming back to Brisbane Water again some yearslater.

In 1852, Boyd HORSBRUGH participated in the expedition led byHovenden HELY to search for the remains of the lost LEICHHARDTexpedition. HORSBRUGH had a terrifying experience on this ex-pedition when he and a Captain ANDERSON became lost . They spentthree days and nights without food or water. ANDERSON becameraving mad and wanted to kill HORSBRUGH who had to fight him.They were rescued just in time, both very weak . HORSBRUGHbecame delirious and was taken to Newcastle , 700 miles away,where he took months to recover. ANDERSON was brought to Sydneywhere he soon died.

Boyd HORSBRUGH left the district for a while , returning to BrisbaneWater in 1858 , when he again took his seat on the local bench andresumed Coronial investigations . In 1861, he and his brotherleft the district for the goldfields of Kiandra.

They purchased a property at Redbank in the Tumut district in1872. Three years later they bought Malton , some five milesfrom Goulburn . Up to a short time before his death, BoydHORSBRUGH occupied a position on the Goulburn Licensing Bench.

Boyd HORSBRUGH died at Malton and was buried in the tinycemetery of Kippilaw . His headstone reads:

"Boyd HORSBURGH , born . Fifeshire , Scotland.Died at Malton , Goulburn 22nd July 1887 aged 69.Also his brother Henry Stark HORSBURGH,died 15th June 1894 aged 72."

John Maximus LETTE

John Maximus LETTE came from Tasmania, where his brother rep-resented Central Launceston in the Tasmanian Parliament.

He settled at Yarramalong on 843 acres which was originally agrant sold to Richard HILL of Vaucluse in 1840. He was visitedin March 1855 by the Rev. Alfred GLENNIE who recorded in hisjournal that the LETTE family were living in a tent, their littlecottage not yet being completed.

Rev. GLENNIE baptised a little boy in December 1855, and thenspent the night in the LETTE's house , which must have been com-

pleted then . He stayed the night on another visit to performa baptism in January, 1857.

John Maximus LETTE and his wife Sarah had three children bornat Brisbane Water:

Frank Isambard , born 3rd May, 1854Donald, born 29th November, 1856Emily Sophia , born 23rd April, 1859

A Mrs. CORNISH was Mr. LETTE's sister-in-law. The LETTE family

were friendly with the CRAUSE family in Gosford.

LETTE appears to have been a generous man. He presented Rev.

GLENNIE with "Little Nell", a horse, and gave a donation of

£5 for the church at Gosford.

LETTE sold his property at Yarramalong on 14th March 1860 toElizabeth GIBSON. Richard HILL paid £210/15/- for the Yarramalongproperty in 1840; LETTE acquired it from HILL for £758/14/- in

1854; and when he sold it to Elizabeth GIBSON in 1860, its'value had increased to £1,000/-/-.

Alfred GLENNIE informs us that LETTE went to the Snowy Riverfrom early May to the end of June , 1860. John Maximus LETTE'sname appears in a return of Magistrates of the Colony printedin 1863 for the Legislative Assembly, which shows his addressas Yarramalong , but lists three attendances at the Court of

Petty Sessions , Kiandra.

LETTE, attracted by the Kiandra gold rush and being a man ofmany interests , opened a store on the goldfields , tried his

hand at mining , and ran cattle : For many years he was district

coroner at Adaminaby . He also opened some of the reefs atKiandra and spent much capital in developing them.

Gother Kerr MANN

Born in February , 1808, Gother Kerr MANN was a descendant ofa distinguished family of Kent. His father was Gother MANN,R.E. (1746-1830 ), Inspector-General and Colonel-Commandant ofthe Royal Engineers , and he in turn was the son of GeneralCornelius MANN, R.E., and Elizabeth GOTHER. Gother Kerr'smother was Ann WADE, and he was one of a family of five sonsand three daughters. Four of these sons had distinguishedmilitary careers: Gother Kerr was in the Royal Artillery,Cornelius was in the Royal Engineers , John Frederick was in the28th Regiment and Frederick William was in the Royal Marines.

In the early 1820's, Gother Kerr MANN went to India bearinga commission from King George IV to the Royal Bombay HorseArtillery . He saw much active service, and early in the1830's he was invalided and came to New South Wales.

In 1838 he married Mary Johanna HELY , 19 years of age, theeldest daughter of the late Frederick Augustus RELY, the formerSuperintendent of Convicts . Gother Kerr became one of thetrustees of the estate of F. A. RELY . On 4th May 1839 he wasappointed a Magistrate of the Territory and he gave his addressas "Gother Kerr MANN , of Wyoming , Esquire". He began his dutieson the local bench from July 1839.

By 1842, Gother Kerr MANN was insolvent . In 1843 he appliedfor a position as District Surveyor for the Council of Sydney.In Low's 1844-45 Directory , he was listed as a surveyor livingin Liverpool Street. There is a record that in June 1850 hewas surveying in the village of Nowra.

However, he was living locally in 1849 when he was elected aDistrict Councillor . In the North Shore Sydney Directory of1851, he is entered as a Civil Engineer at Cockatoo Island,living in "Mosman ' s Cottage ", St. Leonards.

Captain MANN , as he was known , became Chief Commissioner forRailways in July 1855,.a position;he held until July 1857.He was then entrusted by the Government with the constructionof the Fitzroy Dry Dock. He retired from public service in1870.

On 3rd January 1898, Captain and Mrs. MANN celebrated theirdiamond wedding anniversary . They were surrounded by theirentire family consisting of 12 children , 19 grandchildren and4 great-grandchildren . A photograph was taken on this occasionof the family gathering.

Gother Kerr MANN died on 1st January 1899, aged 90 years, athis home, Greenwich House, Greenwich Point, overlooking theParramatta River.

John MOORE

John MOORE arrived in the Colony in 1829. He was an impoverishedIrish Protestant. He obtained a grant of 650 acres in the Parishof Kincumber , which he named "Avoca ". Sarah, wife of the surveyorFelton MATHEW, met him in 1834, and wrote in her diary:

"I received visit from . . . Mr. MOORE , a young man whohas an estate about five miles from Erina, which he calls'The Vale of Avoca' in honour of his countryman the famedpoet. He is building a house, and when that is completedhe will only want a wife to be perfectly happy, as hebelieves."

He appears never to have married.

He was engaged mostly in cattle dealing, rounding up wild cattleto which he claimed to have bought the rights . This claim was

contested by many landowners , and from confusion about ownershiparose bitter and acrimonious arguments . One such dispute sparkedthe Brisbane Water Case of 1837-38 which is the subject of acomplete volume of the H.i2.tok.i.ca2 Recokcdh o6 the Cent)cat Coast

o4 New South WateA.

John MOORE also bought 500 acres at Lake Macquarie from RichardCAPE, which was ideal for mustering large herds of cattle.

The financial position of John MOORE was never sound. His landwas mortgaged to the hilt from the beginning . He found difficultyin paying the interest on mortgages or even the quit rent whichwas £5/7/8 for Avoca and £4 /3/4 for Wallarah , CAPE's former

grant. At one stage he thought of selling his holdings. Hemanaged to stay afloat and became Warden of the District Councilof Brisbane Water in 1843.

He had cousins, the MADDRELLS , who settled near Braidwood.It was here he made his will, which explains why it has beenoverlooked by previous students of Brisbane Water local history.We know that he had left the district before September, 1860; [*]however, he died in the district at Springfield , in 1865. He

left no known descendants.

As there was no resident minister of his faith (Church of England)at the time of his death , the memorial service was probablyconducted by Thomas BATTLEY,.as it was not entered in the Churchof England Register.

William NUNN

and William John NUNN

There are a great many references to the NUNN family in thejournals of the Rev . Alfred GLENNIE . From these journals wefind that the Reverend "had the pleasure to make Mrs. NUNN'sacquaintance who arrived the previous week" on 13th March 1855.

Upon arrival in the district , the NUNN family lodged in theHELY's cottage "Wyoming", which they had leased . The familyconsisted of Mr. and Mrs . William NUNN, senior, their daughtersKate and Emma Eliza and two sons, Gordon and William John,junior. William John and his wife Fanny had a little boy namedWillie or Willy (GLENNIE is uncertain of the spelling of theboy's name).

Alfred GLENNIE regularly called on the NUNNS and often stayedfor dinner . It is difficult to ascertain to whom GLENNIE isreferring when he mentions "Mr." or "Mrs." NUNN. It seems thatwhen he mentions "Wm. NUNN" he is usually referring to Mr. NUNNsenior, whereas the young William John is usually referred toas "Mr. NUNN".

A dramatic and sad event occurred on 12th November 1856; thedeath by drowning of Gordon NUNN, William John's younger brother,in the Wyong River.

The children of William John and Fanny NUNN were William (whowas probably born before they came to the district ); AmeliaWyndham, born 1856 at Wyoming; Ada Jane Emma , born 1857 atWyoming; Emma Lucy Erina ( 1859-1863 ), born at Erina; ElizaAlice Gordon , born 1861 at Erina; and Fanny who was born atErina and died in 1863 aged two months.

Although William NUNN , senior, was one of the representativesof the church , he later declined to act as a collector for con-tributions to the clergy fund. He was often afflicted withrheumatic pain which kept him on his bed for weeks on end.

In January 1863, GLENNIE tells us that William John NUNN hasbeen "attacked with this dreadful diphtheria" and was "sufferingfrom difficulty in breathing all very distressing". His fatherwas summoned to his bedside, and William John died on 26thJanuary 1863. He was nearly 36 years of age, and was a retiredArmy officer.

On 6th September that year , William John ' s widow, Fanny NUNN,aged 38, was buried in Point Frederick Cemetery . She probablydied as a complication from childbirth , as we then found thaton 15th November , another Fanny NUNN, aged two months , is alsoburied in Point Frederick Cemetery.

L y a l l SCOTT

L y a l l SCOTT operated a Steam Saw M i l l at Ourimbah, and became the member of parliament f o r the Wollombi electorate i n 1885.

L y a l l SCOTT was the son of a Robert SCOTT and was born i n about 1835. The following are some of the notes that have been c o l l e c t e d about him:

1858: John ROBLEY stated i n The Gosford Times on 26th January 1928 that "the f i r s t c r i c k e t club was started i n 1858 by L y a l l SCOTT at Ourimbah. . ."

1862: SCOTT was involved i n a court case with Samuel TOMLINSON, one of h i s former employees, who had set up a steam sawmill i n opposition to SCOTT's m i l l .

1864: On 14th December, 1864, the death occurred of Mary Louise SCOTT of Ourimbah Steam Sawmill, aged 34 years, wife of L y a l l SCOTT, timber merchant.

1885: The nominations f o r the Wollombi Electorate were: Walter H. VIVIM, L y a l l SCOTT, - ANDERSON and - JACQUES. P o l l i n g Day was 31st October, 1885. In a speech to the electorate at Wollombi, reported i n the Sydney Morning Herald on 28th October, 1885, SCOTT remarked that he "for many years had sat i n the Water Pol i c e Court i n Sydney". SCOTT was elected, following ECKFORD.

1885: Death notice, Sydney Morning Herald, 17th December, 1885: "SCOTT, December 15th at her residence, 41 Cumberland-s t r e e t , Martha Matilda, wife of L y a l l SCOTT, and daughter of the l a t e James PASHLEY, i n her 42nd year."

1886: SCOTT resigned from Parliament on 22nd November, 1886 due to i l l health.

1887: A death notice appeared i n the Sydney Morning Herald on 3rd A p r i l , 1887: "SCOTT - A p r i l 3, at h i s residence, 41 Cumberland Street, L y a l l SCOTT, aged 52 years." An obituary appeared i n the Sydney Morning Herald on 4th A p r i l , 1887: "The many friends of Mr. L y a l l SCOTT, both i n Sydney and i n the country, w i l l hear with great regret of that gentle­man's death, which took place at h i s residence, 41 Cumberland St., yesterday evening. Mr. SCOTT, i t w i l l be remembered, represented the electorate of Wollombi i n the l a s t Parliament but was compelled to resign i n consequence of i l l - h e a l t h . Since then Mr. SCOTT has continued to decline i n health, u n t i l dropsy set i n , and death re s u l t e d . Although not very conspicuous i n p o l i t i c s , Mr. L y a l l SCOTT was widely and favourably known i n commercial c i r c l e s , and was highly esteemed as an upright man and a good c i t i z e n . "

No record of bi r t h s to either of h i s wives has been found.

Thomas A l i s o n SCOTT

Born i n Glasgow, Scotland i n 1777, Thomas A l i s o n SCOTT went to the West Indies where he saw sugar being made, and he studied the c u l t i v a t i o n of sugar cane. In 1816 he came to New South Wales. He obtained sugar cane plants from T a h i t i and began to advocate the growing of cane and the production of sugar i n New South Wales.

He went to Port Macquarie f o r the Government but was not very successful i n h i s endeavours i n growing and producing tobacco and sugar. He was dismissed and returned to Sydney, He came to our d i s t r i c t i n 1831 when he was granted 52 acres of land at Brisbane Water. I t was subsequently found that he was located on the s i t e of the proposed township and he had to move to Point Clare.

He was appointed Poundkeeper for the d i s t r i c t by Jonathan WARNER i n December 1833, and i n September 1835 was appointed assessor f o r the Brisbane Water Bench, to the f o r c i b l y ex­pressed horror of DONNISON and MOORE, who made an enemy of him. In October 1836 he was appointed Postmaster at Brisbane Water and Clerk of Petty Sessions, and on 21 November was gazetted Clerk of the Bench to the newly appointed Police Magistrate, Alured T. FAUNCE.

In September 1842, while Clerk to HOLDEN, he offered h i s resignation to Gov. GIPPS and i t was accepted. In December he sought to r e c a l l h i s resignation, and HOLDEN secured a prolongation of 6 months. DONNISON and MOORE objected to the retention of SCOTT, who r e t i r e d to h i s property at Point Clare i n July 1843, where he c u l t i v a t e d sugar and bananas. The second crop seems to have been quite successful.

Through lectures and a r t i c l e s , he began to create a legend surrounding h i s involvement i n es t a b l i s h i n g the sugar industry i n the colony. He ceaselessly advocated and claimed that h i s pioneering work, i n which he claimed to have spent much of h i s own money, be recompensed by a g r a t e f u l Government. F i n a l l y , a sel e c t committee was established and the evidence was i n favour of granting recompense to the pioneer of the sugar industry i n New South Wales.

Thomas A l i s o n SCOTT enjoyed a pension u n t i l h i s death i n 1881 at the age of 105, becoming i n h i s old days a l o c a l l i v i n g legend.

In September 1905, the Railway Commissioner gave the name of "Tascott" to a platform opened to service the farm he had established and where Maria Annie SCOTT had died i n August, aged 97 years. She i s buried h a l f way up the h i l l behind where t h e i r house stood.

Henry Gunsley WATSON

The son of Colonel WATSON of the Royal A r t i l l e r y , Henry Gunsley was a cousin of Willoughby BEAN, our f i r s t resident Po l i c e Magistrate.

In a deposition he made before Captain FAUNCE i n November 1836, he stated that he had been i n the d i s t r i c t f o r nearly seven years f4ee CCI p.29].

He purchased land i n the parish of Kincumber, securing two grants of Crown land: one of 60 acres promised o r i g i n a l l y to John STEWART i n 1825, named "Courigan" or "Cowringan"; the second of 100 acres, promised o r i g i n a l l y to Thomas HUMPHRIES and named "Toowgill" or "Toorogil".[*] Both deeds were signed by S i r George GIPPS i n 1839 and 1840 respectively, and i n both cases were with the agreement of the o r i g i n a l grantees. The grants were small i n si z e compared to others i n the d i s t r i c t . I t seems that although he had some servants, he was also dealing i n c a t t l e and managing properties f o r absentee landholders.

He does not appear on the l o c a l 1828 Census l i s t , but he i s shown on the 1837 Convict Muster as having f i v e assigned convicts. He may also have employed t i c k e t - o f - l e a v e servants or free emancipists, who would not appear on the Convict Muster as being associated with a master.

From references found i n the Brisbane Water Case, i t seems that he was a Ju s t i c e of the Peace, and as such sat on the l o c a l Bench. His name appears occasionally i n the l o c a l Bench Register from 1840 to 1846. During h i s stay i n the d i s t r i c t , Henry WATSON attended f a i r l y r e g u l a r l y to the duties of Bench Magistrate.

However, i t i s possible that following the depression of the early 1840's, which hurt our d i s t r i c t more than most, WATSON may have beai i n f i n a n c i a l d i f f i c u l t i e s . For what­ever reason, we are apprised early i n January 1847 that "one of the magistrates of t h i s d i s t r i c t , Mr. WATSON, has l a t e l y gone to India".

Dr. C. E. W. BEAN, Willoughby's cousin, confides that Henry Gunsley WATSON r e t i r e d to Ceylon where he l i v e d u n t i l about 1870, and died "with straightened means".

Jonathan WARNER

Jonathan WARNER was the second Po l i c e Magistrate at Brisbane Water. The d i s t r i c t had been s e t t l e d f o r just 10 years when he was appointed i n 1833 and was s t i l l i n the primitive state p r e v a i l i n g i n those early pioneering days.

WARNER had arrive d on the "OfLphe.U'i" i n September, 1826. He had served twenty years i n the m i l i t a r y . As an assistant surveyor h i s salary was £182/10/- per annum with allowance fo r two horses. He had been appointed a Lieutenant i n the NSW Veteran Corps i n 1825. WARNER took advantage of the scheme offered to o f f i c e r s on act i v e service, and selected land on the north east shore of Lake Macquarie, parish of Kahiba. When he s e t t l e d permanently i n the Colony, he l o s t h i s army salary.

The Government wished to f i l l the vacant Po l i c e Magistrate p o s i t i o n at Brisbane Water, but no l o c a l resident was deemed su i t a b l e . WARNER was approached to v i s i t Brisbane Water once a for t n i g h t i n the capacity of V i s i t i n g Magistrate. A f t e r some negotiations regarding salary, he was eventually appointed to commence duty at Brisbane Water from 1st January, 1833.

He completed a temporary cottage at Brisbane Water i n A p r i l , 1835, and he brought some of h i s family here. In 1835, the Postal Service i n the Colony was reorganised and on 21st October 1835 WARNER was appointed Deputy Post Master at Brisbane Water. He remained as the V i s i t i n g Police Magistrate at Brisbane Water u n t i l mid-October, 1836.

WARNER had been i n the service of the King from 1808 to 1825. I f he had joined the army at the age of 18, he would have been born i n 1790, making him about 48 when appointed as V i s i t i n g Police Magistrate to Brisbane Water.

Jonathan and h i s wife Mary had at l e a s t eight chi l d r e n . They were: James (born 26th December 1819); Jonathan (born June, 1823); William (born 3rd November 1825); Augusta Louise (born 19th September 1821); Frederick Hawkesbury (born 23rd A p r i l 1828); Benjamin John Thomas; Is a b e l l a Louise; and Naomi Sarah. The f i r s t four were a l l baptised i n New South Wales on 4th November 1827.

The WARNER'S Lymington estate of 800 acres was sold i n A p r i l 1885 f o r i t s coal-seam value. The shore of WARNER's 1,280 acre grant i s now known as Warner's Bay.

Henry WORLEY

Henry WORLEY, a farmer of Maresfield i n East Sussex, and Koesia OSBORNE of Uc k f i e l d , were the parents of Henry WORLEY, born at Maresfield on 1st January, 1804. Henry Jnr, became a farm labourer. When he was 25 years old, he and an associate robbed a poultry shed at U c k f i e l d , were caught, and delivered to Horsham gaol. A f t e r t r i a l , they were sentenced to deporta­t i o n f o r l i f e . Henry was also convicted of assault and of demanding money with threat.

Henry WORLEY arr i v e d i n the Colony on the "Lady Fe.vZA6ham" i n 1830 and was assigned to Richard FITZGERALD of Windsor. He held a Ticket of Leave i n 1838. He seems to have been a constable from early years at Maitland, Morpeth and Newport (Dora Creek). We know more of him a f t e r he came to reside i n the Brisbane Water D i s t r i c t .

Henry married Martha Eliz a b e t h NORTH (born i n London i n 1809) at St. James', Sydney, i n 1833. He obtained h i s Conditional Pardon i n 1844. In 1859, he succeeded to the pos i t i o n of Chief Constable when Dennis DWYER had to resign.

Henry had begun his career i n the d i s t r i c t by being posted to Mangrove Creek, a sprawling community of some 150 souls. He remained there f o r many years. He had a small farm up the Creek at the l i m i t of navigation. This area i s s t i l l r e f e r r e d to as Worley's Reach,

In 1859, Henry WORLEY was appointed Inspector of D i s t i l l e r i e s , which gave him a greater authority to deal e f f e c t i v e l y with a l l aspects of i l l e g a l s p i r i t production and d i s t r i b u t i o n which seems to have been quite developed i n the more remote parts of the Mangrove area.

Henry WORLEY was a Sergeant i n 1862. A f t e r h i s retirement from the po l i c e , he was pensioned o f f and acted as B a i l i f f of the Court of Requests. He l i v e d on the s i t e of the railway s t a t i o n at Gosford, having bought at auction most of the allotments i n Section 11 bounded between Erina and Faunce Streets fro n t i n g to Mann Street, which was resumed for the bui l d i n g of the railway l i n e through the township of Gosford.

On 2nd July 1866, an enquiry was held on the body of Henry WORLEY, a pensioner of the NSW P o l i c e . He had died of heart disease at the age of 62.

Of Henry and Martha WORLEY's twelve c h i l d r e n , f i v e died i n childhood, one did not marry and one had no issue. There are many references to the WORLEYS i n the Rev. A l f r e d GLENNIE's Journals, the l o c a l Magistrates' Registers and other indexes.

INTRODUCING THE TRANSCRIPTS OF THE BRISBANE WATER POLICE DISTRICT

EARLY ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS

There are seven surviving registers of the Police Magistratesand of the Bench at Brisbane Water. We have transcribed andindexed all seven, and they may be classified as follows:

1. The earliest register contains the records of the PoliceMagistrates covering the years from 1826 to 1843. Itwas opened by Willoughby BEAN when he took office.This register contains many different matters of whichthe Magistrates wanted to keep a record. The contentcovers a variety of subjects and is therefore of theutmost interest to students of the early history ofour district. It is analysed in an introduction tothe transcripts. The title of the register is, asoriginally given, "Ttchet3 o6 Leave, Qua,, teAty andO.then Retuwcn4 &c. "

2. There are three Bench Books, begun in 1835 and extendingto 1874. They mostly contain copies of letters andmemoranda, and illustrate the daily business of admin-istration of the district in their record of the corres-pondence to the central government, reports and localtransactions.

3. The three Deposition Books record Court business andtrial cases in the period from 1836 to 1872. They giveus a good picture of events and behaviour of a numberof individuals, and include summonses to answer inculpa-tions, depositions as reported from witnesses, andcircumstances. We also learn of death inquiries fromcoronial inquests. The depositions obtained in theBrisbane Water Case (the subject of the third volumein the series of the Hizto.Lcat Reconda o6 the Centn.atCoast o6 New South l/ake3) are all recorded in theseregisters.

We wish to say here that occasionally there areunflattering statements of a personal nature indepositions. This is to be expected as the depositionswere taken in cases of misdeeds . Then, as now, thesedepositions are public statements , and as such are notrestricted by privacy considerations. All depositionsand statements can be freely consulted at the ArchivesOffice in Sydney and copies have been deposited at theGosford City Library.

We have, however, used discretion in describing thesubject matters in the Table of Contents, but we havenot modified or suppressed any depositions as this would

Page 104: Bench books & court cases 1826 1874 Historical Records of the Central Coast of New South Wales

98

have seriously altered the historical value of ourwork. We hope that no-one will feel embarrassed throughthe publication of these historical records of the lifeof our district, which was always harsh and at timesturbulent or violent.

The Police Magistrates, until HOLDEN's dismissal in 1843,were the administrators of justice and the head of the PoliceEstablishment.

The Bench, comprising the Justices of the Peace of the district,took over the former Police Magistrates' functions until theestablishment of the Borough Council in 1886.

We intend to publish the seven Magistrates' registers in theirentirety. Firstly, we have made available the present combinedTable of Contents and Index of Names as a volume of its own.Then in rapid succession the seven registers will be published,not necessarily in chronological order. Each volume willreproduce its own Table of Contents and Index of Names.

Indexes and Tables of Content:

The value of any book is immensely enhanced by the inclusionof an index which permits retrieval of information not otherwiseindicated. Books also usually exhibit a table of mattersof content. Our registers obviously did not have an index,and only some had a very embryonic list of contents. Weproceeded to compile both an index and a table of contentsfor each register. Using a computer, it was a simple processto produce indexes and also to incorporate the indexes intoa combined index of all magistrates' registers.

We offer in this volume the tables of content of all sevenregisters which will appear again individually in each volume,and also the amalgamated index of the seven individual indexeswhich will complete each single published register.

Our Transcripts of the Magistrates' Registers:

The Magistrates' Registers are of various sizes, ranging from284 to 541 pages. Keeping in mind that the optimum size forbinding and for readers' convenience is around 350 pages,and in consideration of the size of the volumes in the seriesthat have already been published, we have apportioned theseven registers in the following fashion:

TICKETS OF LEAVE &c. 541 pages plus copious notes, in 2 volumes

BENCH BOOKS I, II & III 1,352 " , in 4 volumes

DEPOSITIONS I, II & III 1 , 051 " " , in 3 volumes

Page 105: Bench books & court cases 1826 1874 Historical Records of the Central Coast of New South Wales

99

This will make a total of 2,944 pages , plus indexes , contents,introductory notes, etc ., forming 9 volumes.

The combined Table of Contents and consolidated index in thepresent volume will enable people to appreciate the natureand scope of the information offered in the Magistrates'Registers , and gives references to the subjects and locationof material.

The typescripts , although not yet published , are availablefor study to any local history researchers who wish to availthemselves of the opportunity , by contacting the HonorarySecretary of the Gosford District Local History Study Groupto make an appointment.

Bench Books and Deposition Books: The Reels

The original registers of the Bench at Brisbane Water area unique source of documentation of the life and administra-tion of the early settlement.

They are kept at the Sydney repository of the Archives Officeof New South Wales. Being old and irreplaceable, they arenot available for perusal or handling . They have thereforebeen microfilmed for the benefit of those who wish to studythe information they have to offer.

It will be noted that most reels also contain records whichrelate to other districts . It is often necessary to run pastsome of the information on a reel until the records forBrisbane Water appear.

We have transcribed all parts which are relevant to our district,and afterwards , with special permission , we have checked ourtypescript with the original registers . However careful we.have been , we always advise that it is wise. to check informationwe provide with the film in case of any doubt . The writtenwords, sometimes faint, may have been misread and not correctedin the subsequent check, which is a rather monotonous task. .

Misspelling and other scribe idiosyncrasies have been leftunaltered.

There are five microfilm reels, which we have acquired. Detailsof the reels are listed on the following pages.

SPECIAL NOTE: REEL NO. 895 - 4/5525

"T.Lcketh o^ Leave/Quahtex1y and Otkvt Rttunna &c."

Reel No. 895 contains four Registers loosely titled Ticketsof Leave, but also comprising other matters.

The first Register is "Description of Tickets of Leave, June 1,1843, Police Office Bathurst , and Index. Court of Requests".

The second contains Lists of Assigned Servants, and the fourthis also Tickets of Leave, accounts, fines, fees, summonses,passes, 1842 and Letters from Police Office, Broulee.

The third Register - the one in which we are interested -is titled on one side TICKETS OF LEAVE and on the other sideQUARTERLY AND OTHER RETURNS &c. It contains a wealth ofinformation, but has a peculiarity which needs to be fullyexplained here, in case researchers are unable to find thereferences they seek.

The Register - the first of the Brisbane Water Magistrates'series - begun by Willoughby BEAN in August 1826 was alsoused by Jonathan WARNER and T.A. SCOTT, clerk to A. HOLDEN.The complication arises because the register has been usedstarting from both ends.

Firstly, BEAN started from one end recording what he terms

"Cases, Complaints and other Business brought before theBench". In fact, he entered everything of which he wishedto keep a record; hence the variety of the nature of the

entries.

Page 107: Bench books & court cases 1826 1874 Historical Records of the Central Coast of New South Wales

101

Pages are numbered on each opposite top corner. The officialcorrespondence was entered from page 345, beginning with aletter dated August 21st, 1826 to the Colonial Secretary,and ends on page 393 with a letter from BEAN tendering hisresignation, dated June 5th, 1831.

Later, Jonathan WARNER succeeded BEAN as Magistrate. He turnedthe Register over, and began entering his records and corres-pondence from the opposite side, numbering the pages on thetop middle of each sheet, beginning at page one in September1833. His last entry is an abstract covering 1st July to30th September, 1836. On page 63, T. A. SCOTT, Clerk forA. T. FAUNCE (the new magistrate replacing WARNER who hadresigned) takes over by entering an abstract for the quarterOctober to December, 1836.

The last page on that side of the Register is page 142: aQuarterly Return for 1st July to 30th September, 1840.

Page 142 of that side corresponds with page 402 on the otherside.

We will publish this Register in two parts:

1. CORRESPONDENCE by Willoughby BEAN comprising pages 345(TLC) to 393, to which we have added: Introduction, comments,

appendices (such as Function of the Magistrates, theassignment system, convicts and Tickets of Leave, thepenal institution, extracts from PLUNKETT's "TheAustralian Magistrate", extensive correspondence fromCAPE to supplement material on the subject entered inthe Register, the Police Establishment), plus notesand biographical information when judged useful toexplain points of interest.

PART I is the remainder of the entries made by BEAN.It comprises 393 pages and covers the years from 1826to 1831.

2. PART II is the other side of the same Register, begun(TIM) by WARNER in 1833 and completed by T. A. SCOTT, Clerk

for both A. T. FAUNCE and Alfred HOLDEN, in 1840. Itcomprises 142 pages.

INTRODUCTION TO THE COMBINED INDEX OF NAMES

The following index of names has been compiled from sevenindividual indexes prepared for each of the Brisbane WaterMagistrates' Registers. The combined index contains some4,000 name entries which give many thousands of referencesto the seven registers.

The names have been entered in this index as they appear inthe records with the variations in spelling, if any, and theprefixes we have found. Distinct entries are shown forMULHALL J.; MULHALL J°.; MULHALL John; or plain MULHALL.DONNISON may be DONNISON Mr.; DONNISON H.; DONNISON Hy.;DONNISON Henry; or plain DONNISON.

We could not afford to make enquiries in each case to reducethe diversity into a standard individual heading. We leaveit to whoever is studying FLETCHER to decide if J. FLETCHERrefers to James or to John FLETCHER, the senior or the junior!

The time span covered is from 1826 to 1874, two years shortof half a century.

Registers' Symbols:

The reader is referred to page numbers in each individualregister preceded by a register symbol. The explanation ofthese symbols is set out below.
