Some three months ago Mrs. M'Cauley sought medical advice, and acting upon it came down to Sydney to the Lewisham Hospital. But it was too late, and, fortified by the rites of Holy Church, at the age of 56 years, she passed away on Friday of last week. Bright's disease was the cause of death. The deceased lady was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. William Austin, Runnymede, Clyde River, and was a native of that district. She leaves a family of six grown up children. Mrs. M'Cauley was a devout Catholic, and at her late residence Mass was frequently celebrated during the year by the visiting priests of the parish.

KYOGLE DROWNING
CORONER RETURNS OPEN VERDICT
KYOGLE, Friday.A verdict of death from drowning on or about July 19, but how or by what means the evidence did not enable him to say, was returned by the District Coroner (Mr. E. C,. Vincent) at an inquest on James Joseph Casey, 50, whose body was found in the Richmond River, near Wiangarie, on July 24. Constable A. Forbes and brothers of the dead man, John Clyde Casey and Richard Daniel Casey, said Casey, who had returned the previous day from Brisbane, where he had been for nine months for treatment for nicotine poisoning, left the home of his sister, Mrs. Lavelle, Wiangarie, about 2 p.m. on July 19, and went in the direction of some saccaline, with a piece of paper in his hand. When he had not returned by night, Kyogle police were advised and search parties organised. His body was found floating in a swimming hole in the river about 350 to 400 yards from the house the following Friday. There was a steep bank on the side of the stream from which Casey had apparently approached it. and it would have been easy for a person to slip into the water, which was between eight and 10 feet deep at the soot.

MR. B. CASEY.
An old and respected identity in the person of Mr. B. Casey died on
Sunday, July 28. The late Mr. Casey was born at Bateman's Bay 75 years ago, but had been a resident of the Richmond for 30 years. While living at Woodburn for six years he worked with his brothers who were the owners; of the Woodburn sawmills. Later, he came to Roseberry and followed the occupation of timber hauling to the mill for about three years where he had the misfortune to lose his wife. From there he moved to Grevillia where he worked in the employ of Messrs. Munro and Lever till about eight years ago when he met with an accident and broke his arm which put him out of active work. Since then he had resided with his widowed daughter Mrs. Moy and two of his sons at Wiangaree. During the past two and a half years or so he had to have medical aid on several occasions and just 12 months ago was an inmate of the Kyogle Memorial Hospital where he was very ill. He improved sufficiently to return home but never got really well again. During the last three weeks he had been getting weaker and weaker and the doctor gave very little hope for his recovery.
He was attended to by the parish priests from Kyogle, Father Henderson being with him in his last moments and all his family being also present when he died. He left five daughters and four sons to mourn his loss Mrs. Moy (Nellie), Mrs. Lavelle (Eva), Mrs. Wood Elvina), Mrs. Lavelle (Maggie), Mrs. Hines (Jean), and Jack, Jim, Battie and Dick. The four sons and two of the sons-in-law acted as pallbearers. His wife predeceased him 21 years ago, and a son and daughter are also dead.

Double Drowning Fatality.
An inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. B. Casey and her infant daughter (Mary Ellen), whose bodies were found in the river near Roseberry, was held by the District Coroner (Mr. R. K. Alcorn) at Kyogle on Friday, when the following evidence was adduced : Bartholomew Casey, teamster, residing at Roseberry, stated Johanna Louisa Casey was my wife, and Mary Ellen Casey my daughter, I last saw them alive at about 5 a.m. on 12th November, they were then in bed, and my wife called my son to get up, I dozed off and when I awoke she and the baby had gone, I got up and made a search for her, and found her in the river. She was lying face down in the water, and the baby was in her arms, they were both dead. I took the bodies out of the water, and made every effort to revive them, and sent for the doctor. At times I have noticed my wife has been a bit quiet, and I used to Keep an eye on her, there were no matlas of violence on the bodies. My wife was 46 years of age in August last, and the baby was about three months old, neither my wife nor baby was insured, nor did they own any separate property. I always lived on very happy terms with my wife and family, I have no idea how she got into the water. I believe she first stepped over the bank and was dead before striking the water, I don't think she was drowned. My wife left no will.
Thomas Charles Cann Evans, medical practitioner and Government medical officer, residing at Kyogle, stated : On the 12th November I was called to Roseberry to see the deceased, the subjects of this inquiry. I found both bodies by the river bank. Mrs. Casey had been dead some time, she was blue and quite cold, and I was told she had been drowned, and the condition in which I found her pointed to the fact of her having been drowned, the baby, between three and four months old, showed the same signs; I was told she was found in her mother's arms, and underneath her; the child was dead, and nothing could be done for either of them. I have no doubt it was a case of getting into the river. The Coroner found that Mrs. Casey and child met their death by drowning on November 12th but how or by what means they got into the water the evidence adduced did not enable him to say.

Lachlander and Condobolin and Western Districts Recorder (NSW : 1899 - 1952) Wed 15 Apr 1914 Page 6

MRS. M. J. CONDON.

The writer (M. J. Condon) has written many obituary notices, for strangers. dear friends and relatives, but the present is an occasion far transcending, all others in its penetrating grief and overburdening sorrow. Still there is a demand, a call of duty, and I do my best to answer, in response. Mrs. Condon was the second daughter of the late Michael Reynolds, J.P., of Berry, and was born at Shoalhaven on the 22nd April, 1864, so that she would have been 50 years of age next Wednesday, Reared in a home where such Church Dignitaries as the late Cardinal Moran, Archbishop Higgins and Kelly were guests when on Confirmation and other Church tours, it goes without saying that her religious training was such as to firmly establish an undying devotion to her Church, implicit reliance in the Great Creator and that broadness of mind that not only cultivates a toleration of other creeds, but a true Christian unity of feeling and recognition of all that is good in the lives and hearts of mankind generally. Indeed, it was acknowledged by all who had her acquaintance that her life was a living example of the wonderful influence for good that obtains in the soul of one imbued with these fine attributes. In all trouble, and it can be readily understood that the life of a mother who had given birth to 10 children, suffered the death of two (boys) and reared eight, apart from the many trials inseparable from this world, must naturally be punctuated with periods of trial and pierced with many lances of sorrow, but in every case consolation was sought and found in the Higher Atmosphere; and where infliction weighed upon others she was ever ready to render solace regardless of her own discomfort, caring only for the relief of those whose condition she sought to relieve. Married, at Berry on the 19th April 1887, she went with her husband to Bega district and for over 23 years resided there, making friends with all of whom she came into acquaintanceship. Though otherwise of good health, for many years she suffered from asthma, which year by year became more oppressive, till eventually doctors finally advised a change of residence from the coastal climate. As a result of that medical command Condobolin became our home, arriving here on February 13, 1911. The change had the desired effect, so far as the asthma was concerned as she never had a sign of it, though it never failed to recur on her visits to the city and coastal districts during the past three years. but always to leave on returning to Condobolin. However, it was decreed that the relief from sickness was not to be long, for gallstone troubles set in, which finally proved too fatal. During her final 16 days illness everything that medical and nursing skill could provide was availed of, Dr. Quirk, whose kindness and constant attention shall never be forgotten, devoted special attention to the case, which he correctly diagnosed from the outset and regarded as very serious. From five to three times per day he made visits and gave directions to Nurse Condon, who seemed to be endowed with supernatural endurance to enable her to day and night tend to her loving mother. An operation was discussed as a last resource, but as quite 90 per cent of operations such as would be necessary in this case have proved fatal, it was readily and wisely decided not to attempt it. As is now generally known, that the end came at 8 o'clock on Monday morning of March the 30th, It was a peaceful and beautiful ending, surrounded by the whole of her family presence and fortified by all the spiritual comforts and sacraments of the Church of which she was a devout member. Her last moments were truly an exemplification of the truth of the text that as one lives so shall one die. To the sorrowing husband and family who witnessed it, it must ever prove a powerful factor in promoting a constant endeavour to persevere in the same faithful footsteps, to perpetuate the hallowed memory of the one dearest in life and to look forward with holy consolation to the brighter re-union to which we hope fully aspire by the grace of a merciful God. So strengthened, we shall strive to carry our cross in a Christian spirit. On the Monday evening the body, encased in a magnificent coffin of polished ceder with massive silver mountings, and covered; with beautiful wreaths and crosses, was taken into the church, where the Rev. Father Dunne was in attendance and conducted the Church's ceremony for such occasions. There was a large congregation present, and evening devotions were held. Mass for the repose of the departed soul was celebrated next morning, at which there was an unusually large congregation present, During the day up to the hour of the funeral, 3.30 p.m., there were many visitors to the Church, including the children of both the Convent and Public schools. At the appointed hour of the funeral, the church was crowded and the street outside packed with vehicles and persons in charge. Another Church service was read and then the coffin placed in the hearse. The procession, which moved through the main streets of the town was headed by the Children of Mary in blue cloaks marching in front of the hearse. Four little altar boys, Masters Jack and Tom Brady, Willie Dunn and Bobbie Turner, marched two each side of the hearse, holding each a ribbon in hand. These rich broad ribbons were suspended one from each top corner of the hearse, two white, in front and two black at thee back, and were the gift of the Rev. Father Dunne, who so arranged matters and, whose kindness throughout was beyond measure of appreciation. The funeral cortege is classed as one of the largest (said to be second only to that of the late Mr J. F. Dawson,) while the attendance at the graveside is referred to as the greatest seen in Condobolin. The Rev. Father Dunne officiated, and the tearful scenes were of such a nature that few if any eyes remained dry. The whole funeral arrangements were carried out by Undertaker F. W. Marlin in a manner that shows Condobolin in a position in this regard second to no other town.
And the interment gives consummation to an inspired presentiment which, the writer had to hold within his breast stills after the death of the dear departed one. It is briefly this: when I came out to Condobolin just before the xmas, of 1910, with a view of buying THE LACHLANDER, I was driven round one afternoon by Mr. Gordon Bennett, amongst Other places to Potter's mine. Passing the cemetery on return I was seized with a lonely feeling, instantly followed by a mental vision of Mrs. Condon being buried in a certain spot of the cemetery that then riveted my attention. Despite my pleasant company I remained momentarily dull, in an effort to banish the thought. It almost afterwards prevented me from closing for the purchase, and I never passed the cemetery since without a recurrence of the haunting vision, nor would it ever fail to force itself on me whenever Mrs. Condon became ill. Despite all effort the conviction grew that it was to be, but at what period. I had no conception, other than to earnestly wish it may be far in the distant future. When the allotted time arrived I went out with Mr. Marlin and without doubt selected the exact spot previously presented to me and there lay the body of the dearest partner in life. May she Rest in Peace !
With the bereaved husband, and family and only sister (Miss K. Reynolds) who under the train circumstances could be present, the kindness of the people of Condobolin must ever remain fixed in their minds.

Mr. Maurice Condon.

On Friday last Mr. Maurice Condon passed to his eternal reward. Of excellent parents, he was born at Jerara, in the Shoalhaven district, in 1852. The family has been for over a century a household word in that fertile land. He was a man of ability, prudence, humanity and piety, without ostentation, giving kindly advice to those who sought it, and assisting those whose worldly progress met with reverses. Always scrupulous in his religious duties, he set an example worthy of great praise. For many years he was a resident of Rozelle, where he carried out the duties of church secretary to the great satisfaction of the late Monsignor Moynagh and the parishioners. In his presidency of the St. Vincent de Paul Society he manifested genuine zeal for the poor. For a long period he was a commercial traveller. The late Mr. Raleigh appointed him his executor. His wife, who was Miss Sarah Francis, predeceased him by 15 years. Six of his children are living, and two died some time ago. They were Tom (manager for Foley Bros:, at Goulburn) and Margaret. Seven years ago he was stricken with a malady which he bore with Christian fortitude and hope, and which ended his most useful life. During this period his granddaughter, Irene, gave devoted service to his needs. A few days before his death one of his brothers died. Rev. Father Bond, P.P. recited the prayers in St. Mary's, Concord, and also at the grave. The chief mourners were his daughter, Mrs. Ryan, and her son, Vincent; Mr. and Mrs. Curry (son-in-law and daughter), Mrs. Tom. Condon (daughter-in-law), Miss Irene Condon, Miss Patricia and Sheila Condon, Mr. M. Condon, Mr. Reg. Curry, Gerald Condon, Mr. and Mrs Adams, Mr McCarthy, Mr. Carroll, Mr. Heydon, Messrs.

Leigh Deck, Mr. and Mrs. Tierney, Mr. and Mrs. Prendergast, Mr. Scahill, Mrs. and Miss Glanz, Mrs. Ewen, Mrs. Mulligan, Mr. and Miss Gallagher, Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald, and Mr. J. Connolly. His four sons, Maurice, Edward, William and Bede, were unable to be present, as they are in New Zealand. His brother, Michael, is the proprietor and editor of the 'Lachlander,' one of the most influential papers in the western part of this State. James, another brother, is valuator in Lismore district, and William is on the land on the North Coast. W. N. Bull and Co. made the funeral arrangements. R.I.P.

Ian,

I have over the past few years spent a great deal of time researching Thomas Benham (134658) ,Mary Jane Benham (74206) and Catherine Benham (58144).
While I can produce no absolute proof I believe there is ample evidence to say that Thomas Benham was actually Thomas Baynham a convict transported to NSW in 1832.
Thomas Baynham married a Catherine Dalton an Irish convict in Maitland and in 1843 their daughter Mary Jane was born in Morpeth on the Hunter River.
There is no registration that I can locate of the birth of Catherine (b1847) but there is strong circumstantial evidence to suggest that she also was the daughter of Thomas and Catherine Baynham and sister to Mary Jane Baynham.
It is true that the death certificates of both Mary Jane and Catherine indicate that they were born in Bega BUT a perusal of the birth registrations of both Mary Janes and Catherine's children indicate they were both born in Sydney. I suggest it is more reliable to rely on the children's birth registrations as the mothers were the informants at the time.
Calculating back from the age given for Mary Jane on her death in 1929 a birth year of 1842 is indicated BUT her ages stated again on her children's birth registrations all indicate a birth year of 1843 i.e. the year Mary Jane Baynham was born in Morpeth.
We know that Mary Jane Benham was in Bega in 1855 and that her father was Thomas Benham by the remarkable discovery of a advertisement placed in a Sydney newspaper n 1855 calling for Thomas Benham to call for or send for his daughter Mary Jane at the home of the larger than life character Jack Hayden more widely known as Big Jack after whom the mountain and road near Bega are named.
Both Mary Jane and Catherine arrived in Araluen in the 1860 where Mary Jane married Thomas Greenwood and Catherine married William Geilvoet (I descend from Mary Jane and Thomas Greenwood).
There is no registration I can find for the death of Catherine nee Dalton but we find Thomas alone in Sydney in the 1850's working in his trade as a butcher and perpetually running afoul of the law until in 1869 he is involved in a rather tawdry episode in which his erstwhile defacto partner is murdered in Druitt St in Sydney. After 1869 Thomas disappears from the records obviously wanting I think to make himself scarce. (I have to come to terms withe fact the i carry this mans genes!!)
I think it is beyond the scope of this letter to present the whole argument but I would be very happy to discuss my conclusions with any interested party (email pls contact editor).
In summary my research leads me to believe the following:-
Thomas Baynham a butcher is convicted of theft in London finds himself in the Hunter Valley in 1832/1833 where after obtaining his ticket of leave he marries Catherine Dalton in 1843. Mary Jane Baynham is born in the same year in Morpeth where Thomas is working as a butcher.
A second child Anne is born in 1845 in Morpeth but dies in the same year.
Ever the rogue Thomas loses his ticket of leave and is reassigned as a butcher in Windsor and subsequently in Sydney.
At about this time Thomas changes his name to Benham.
Around this time Thomas finds his way to Bega where he is employed as a butcher by Peter Imlay whose pastoral pursuits have great need of butchers.
Catherine Benham is born in 1847 and her mother also Catherine disappears around the same time with neither the birth or the death registered. Is this because no registrations of births and deaths exist for Bega at that time? Is Catherine the child so named because her mother dies in childbirth? I understand this was the custom in such circumstances.
Both Mary jane and Catherine are then left under the protection of Big Jack Hayden until they depart for the Araluen goldfields in the 1860's.
Thomas decamps to to Sydney (perhaps after the great storm of 1852 lays waste to the Bega area).
I have no idea of whether Thomas ever saw or was in touch with his daughters again but the family of Mary Jane knew her father was a butcher when she died in 1929 ad the family of Catherine knew her father's name was Thomas in 1905 when she died.
I would love to hear from anyone who can add to this story.
I trust this is of interest.

best regards, Keith Saunders

BODY FOUND IN CREEK

Charles Thistleton (63), a single man, employed by Mr Lindsay Cooke, of Bexhill, was found drowned in a creek on Mr Cooke's property yesterday morning. He was last seen alive by Mrs Cooke about 2 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, walking in the direction of the creek, presumably for a swim, as he had done on previous occasions.
No notice was taken of his absence at night, as he had been in the habit of going to Lismore late in the afternoon, but when he did not make an appearance yesterday morning, Mr Cooke became alarmed and made a search. Later he found the deceased floating face downwards in the creek, His clothes and. false-teeth were nearby on the bank.
Detective-Sergeant Snowden and Sergeant Love visited the scene of the drowning and the remains were then conveyed to the Lismore morgue and viewed by the Government Medical officer (Dr. R. Kellas) and the Deputy Coroner (Mr. A. C. Joubert), who issued an order for burial.
Mr. Thistleton was a returned soldier. He had served in France with the 47th Battalion and suffered from the effects of gas. He had been in Mr Cooke's employ since early last month and was well known in the Nimbin district. He was born at Ulladulla. Mr E. A Thistleton, of Eltham, is a brother of the deceased.

Body Found in Creek.

A finding that death was due to suffocation from drowning, but the
evidence did not enable him to say by what means he came to be drowned, was returned by the deputy Coroner (Mr. A. C. Joubert) after hearing evidence concerning the death of Charles Thistleton whose body was found in Cooper's Creek, near Eltham, on November 22.
Mr Joubert said that he was of the opinion that drowning was accidental. There were no marks of violence on the body. Sergeant C. Love said that on November 22 he went to Bexhill where he met Lindsay Cooke who took him to Cooper's Creek where Thistleton's body was floating. Thistleton's feet were entangled in weeds and his hands were clutching weeds. On the bank was deceased's clothing.
Lindsay Cooke, farmer, of Bexhill, said that Thistleton had worked intermittently for him for 16 years. Deceased was a returned soldier. He had been gassed at the war and suffered from shortage of wind. On November 21, Thistleton did not appear for milking and witness's wife remarked that she had seen him going towards the creek the previous day. He later heard a dog barking and went to the bank and saw the body. Evidence was given also by Dr. R. Kellas. Elsie E. Cooke, wife of a previous witness and Ernest A. Thistleton, brother of deceased. The witnesses were examined by Det. Sergt. H. E. Snowden.

MRS. W. G. GUMLEY.

Miriam Annie Gumley was born in Yorkshire, England, and came to Australia in 1884, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Emmott, who settled in Balmain, Sydney. Her father was a prominent worker in the church, and rendered great service as a local preacher. Mrs Gumley followed in her parents' footsteps, and showed her faith in Christ by her love for the House of God, and earnest Christian service. For 17 years she was organist of the Balmain Church, and
taught in the Sunday School. After leaving Balmain she and her husband and family lived in various suburbs, eventually settling at Merrylands, where they were a source of strength to our cause. About three years ago they moved to Queanbeyan, and at once entered whole-heartedly into the life and work of our church. Mrs Gumley, although suffering from ill-health, was a regular attendant upon the means of grace, rendering splendid service as a member of the choir, and officiating very often as assistant organist. As a member of L.C.A. Society she assisted very materially towards the success of succeeding flower shows, and had already been appointed to a stall at the next. She rendered splendid service as collector for the church renovation and organ fund, one of her last acts being to
hand in a splendid contribution. The Guild also owed much to her service and influence, and her call to higher service has left a gap in the ranks of our workers which will be hard to fill. Her home was her palace. She lived for those she loved, and exercised a gracious ministry of love and helpfulness right to the last. The end came with startling suddenness, and on the evening of the 15th May, in the 50th year of her life, her soul was ushered into the presence of Him Whom she loved to serve. She leaves a sorrowing husband, two daughters, and three sons, together with three step-daughters, and a host of friends, to mourn their loss. But they do not mourn as those without hope, for their loved one has 'departed to be with Christ, which is far better.
On Friday, the 17th May, her body was laid to rest, the large congregation at the church and graveside, and the many beautiful floral tributes, testifying to the love and esteem in which she was held.

PASSING OF NOTABLE CITIZEN

Mr Charles Martin Sattler, prominent in Masonic circles for 50 years and secretary of Lodge Resurgo, Parramatta, for nearly 49 years, died at his home, Macquarie Street, Parramatta, recently, in his 87th year.
Born at Bega, Mr Sattler joined the Department of Public Instruction as a youth and taught at schools on the South Coast before coming to Baulkham Hills to take charge of the local school. For many years he was headmaster of the Meadows School, Toongabbie. He retired from the Department 21 years ago.
Mr Sattler was a former secretary of Parramatta School of Arts and for 45 years was auditor of Parramatta Starr-Bowkett Society. He was a warm supporter of St John's Church, Parramatta, and for a considerable time was a member of the choir.

OBITUARY

The news of the death of Mr Anton Sattler, on Saturday last, caused a big surprise, it being thought that deceased's illness was only slight, he had only been ill about a week, and previous to that, although he was in his 73rd year, he showed no signs of feebleness or failing health. Indeed, he had been most active of late about his home and garden, and expressed the opinion that he never felt better. On Friday afternoon, however, his medical adviser, Dr Evershed, saw there was no hope for him, and his two sons, Charles, who is a school-teacher at Parramatta, and Alfred, who was at Dubbo, were summoned. Unfortunately, they did not arrive here till Sunday evening, after his death. He passed peacefully away on Saturday afternoon.
Deceased was one of our oldest and most familiar residents. He arrived at Merimbula in 1855 from Germany, his native country. He was first engaged with the late Mr. James Manning for work on Kameruka, afterwards removing to Sydney for a couple of years. He then returned to Merimbula, and took a position with Mr Page, who was shipping agent there. He also worked at his trade of tailoring, and between the two he earned fair money. He after wards dairied at Warragubra, and also ran a tailor's shop on the road side, just beyond Spring Hill bridge. Later on Mr Page put him in as manager of his store in the premises now used as a boarding house opposite the Presbyterian Church, Bega, subsequently he started a store on his own account, he being the originator of the Albion Stores, now conducted by Wickham and Co. Little by little be acquired landed property about the town, securing the large block at Newtown, where Bismarck House, Mr Rosenthall's, and his own residence stands, at 11 per acre. At the time of his death he was one of the largest property owners in the town, his rents bringing a big sum weekly.
He was twice married, first to Miss Caroline Sturah, who died many years ago, and then to Miss Mary Caldwell, who still lives. He had six children by the first marriage, two of whom, Louis and Anton, died some years ago, while two sons, Charles and Alfred, and two daughters, Amelia and Lena, survive. By the second marriage he leaves two children, Edith (who is a nurse at the Coast Hospital), and Adolf.
Deceased was a thrifty and industrious man, and worked hard for whatever he had. In the early days he took an active interest in public matters, but for many years he lived a retired life. The funeral on Monday was largely attended, the remains being interred alongside those of his first wife in the old Church of England cemetery. The Rev. Mr. Briscombe, to whose church he owed allegiance, conducted an impressive service in the Methodist Church, and referred to deceased's many fine qualities, and his true Christian bearing when he knew the end was near. He also held a service at the grave. A number of the bretheren of the Manchester Unity Oddfellows, of whom deceased was one of the oldest members, joined in the procession. So passes away another of the makers of Bega. The bereaved family have the sympathy of all.

SAD BULLI CASE.

Thomas Condon, who died on Wednesday at Bulli from pneumonic influenza, was buried on Saturday. He leaves a widow and family. His case was particularly sad, as no one could be found to carry the coffin from the inside to the outside of his late residence but his wife and daughter.

PASSING OF THE PIONEERS
Another one of them, in the person of Mr. John Stephens, of Larbert, passed to 'that other bourne whence no traveller returns' on Saturday last. He was born 70 years ago in the house in which he died. The deceased gentleman had always been remarkably hale and healthy. In fact, he has never had any need to consult a doctor. About twelve days ago he contracted pleurisy. Nothing serious was expected. His heart however failed, and he succumbed rather suddenly. The deceased took no part in public affairs, but he always assisted them, and was highly esteemed as a good citizen by all who knew him - and few in the district didn't know John Stephens. He leaves aa widow and five sons and three daughtersto mourn his loss, vig.. Messrs, W and A Stephens (Larbert), Charles and Cecil (South Coast) Marsh (Junee) Mrs Hopkins (Tallong) Misses Alma and Olive (Larbert). The funeral, which took place at Larbert yesterday morning, was well attended. The Rev. H. F. A. Champion officiating. Thus another of our citizens, who helped to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, has gone, and left the district poorer as a result.

Two Boys Drowned.

BEGA, Saturday. A drowning accident occurred yesterday in a lagoon under the small bridge at Tarraganda lane, tho victims being Leo Corrigan, 12-year-old son of Mr M Corrigan, a well-known coach proprietor here, and Clive Underhill, 5 years of age, a son of Mr. Robert Underhill, building contractor. Nobody was present when it occurred, but it is supposed that the younger boy fell in, and Leo Corrigan, in trying to rescue his companion, also lost his life. The first to notice anything was a boy who was passing, and seeing some boots and a hat and cap on the shore quickly drew the attention of Lieutenant Jackson and Private Russell, who happened to be returning that way from the rifle range. They quickly rode to town, giving the alarm to the police, who were soon on the scene, with plenty of assistance, when Corrigan's body was recovered with grappling irons. After many attempts by diving and grappling by civilians and police, Underhill's body was also recovered by Mr. Rixon. All efforts to revive life failed. Hundreds of people excitedly hurried to the scene, and formed a mournful procession as the bodies were conveyed to town. Many mothers were anxious to find the whereabouts of their boys. Mr R Underhill was away at Braidwood in connection with building the court house there. The scene of the fatality is about half a mile from town. The boys, who were companions, had wandered there together.

News of the death of Mr Michael Corrigan, which occurred in Sydney
last week, at the good old age of 78 will occasion sincere regret through out Bega and Moruya districts and in every hamlet and home for many miles around, where he figured for a generation or more in the old coaching days. He was a native of Moruya, being a son of the late 'Teddy' Corrigan, who was one of the first coach proprietors. in the Moruya district, away back in the gold and bushranging days, when roads were only bush tracks, and bridges were few and far between. Mick Corrigan assisted his father from the time he was able to hold a rein, and until he left Bega for Sydney some years back he was the best known of all the old-time coachies, and his name was a household one throughout the Far South Coast..

TRANSCRIPT OF TRIAL.

Michael Honan, Thomas Honan and Patrick Honan, where put forward for assulting Samuel Croker Esq, county inspector, in Feburary 1833, and hindering the apprehension of a man by the police near Carrickbeg.

Mr Croker disposed that he went to apprehend Micheal Honan, against whom there had been a warrant a long time. When he attempted to bring off Honan, Michael Honan Jnr, then ran to the village when witness and one policeman come to Tinhalla, Michael Honan and others overtook him; Honan caught hold of him, both fell in the struggle, Honan fired one barrel of his gun; the other remained loaded; witness could have shot Honan if he thought proper; witness was endeavouring to persuade the people to let old Honan come with him; when one of the prisoners and another struck him; the gun was taken away; several blows where made at him; and so stunned was he that he could not know how he got away; witness identified the three prisoners; witness was confined a fortnight in consequence of the blows he received.

Cross examined by the Recorder - Witness believes that the warrant against Honan; was issued of resistance made by the parties to a distraint for rent. Marshall, the policeman who attented Mr Croker on the day in question, corroborated that gentleman's evidence; witness was also severely injured, and confined in consequence; he knew the prisoner long, previously to the day of the assult; he met a man on the road, on his return from Carrick, wither he went for assistance, bringing Mr Croker's gun he believed for the purpose of returning it.

Dr Purcell, from Carrick, deposed that Mr Croker was very seriously injured in consequence of the assult.

A man named Rowe, the person who was bringing home the gun, said that Mr Croker was a most Honorable man, and so was the person who gave him he gun, " whosomever he was " ( a laugh )

Michael Honan guilty on all counts of the indictment. Thomas and Patrick Honan also guilty.

His Lordship severely animadverted on the conduct of the prisoners, and sentenced each to be transported for seven years. The prisoners retired in tears.
