26 May 1998

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

History

F O R E W O R D

D u r i n g r e c e n t decades l o c a l h i s t o r y has come t o 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 t h a t have been e s t a b l i s h e d and i n the enthusiasm d i s p l a y e d by members who w i l l i n g l y devote t h e i r spare time to r e s e a r c h 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 w i t h the development of d i f f e r e n t r e g i o n s . In a d d i t i o n to producing j o 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 r e s e a r c h , 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 o t h e r documentary s o u r c e s . The d e c i s i o n of the G o s f o r d 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 t o be welcomed. To understand the r i c h c o m p l e x i t y of A u s t r a l i a ' s past i t i s i m p o r t a n t t h a t as much as p o s s i b l e s h o u l d be known about developments a t 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 o c c u r r e d i n a p a r t i c u l a r d i s t r i c t over a p e r i o d 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 c o n t e x t , 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 p r o c e s s f o r once put i n p r i n t they become a c c e s s i b l e t o a wide range of r e s e a r c h e r s who can form t h e i r own judgements about the course of e v e n t s . The G o s f o r d Study Group has a l r e a d y a c h i e v e d 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 J o u r n a l s of the Reverend A l f r e d G l e n n i e and the B r i s b a n e Water Case have so f a r appeared. The c u r r e n t volume c o n t a i n s the T a b l e of Contents and an Index of Names i n the M a g i s t r a t e s ' Records f o r the p e r i o d 1826 t o 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 v a l u a b l e l i g h t not o n l y on the w o r k i n g 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 m e t i c u l o u s c a r e 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 w i t h c o n s i d e r a b l e u n d e r s t a n d i n g and i n a way t h a t g i v e s added meaning t o the R e g i s t e r s . P l a n s 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 a r r a y of p r i m a r y sources a v a i l a b l e f o r the B r i s b a n e 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 t o 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. T h e i r e f f o r t s deserve r e c o g n i t i o n and success and they have p l a c e d 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.

T h i s f i r s t M a g i s t r a t e was Willoughby BEAN, who began the f i r s t Bench R e g i s t e r 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 o f E r i n a Creek. From 1826 t o 1874, seven r e g i s t e r s were f i l l e d , c o m p r i s i n g some 3,000 pages.

BOUNDARIES OF THE BRISBANE WATER POLICE DISTRICT There does n o t appear t o have been an o f f i c i a l d e s c r i p t i o n o f the B r i s b a n e Water P o l i c e D i s t r i c t when t h e f i r s t P o l i c e M a g i s t r a t e was a p p o i n t e d i n 1826. Two d i s t i n c t a r e a s were s e t t l e d a t t h a t time: the c o a s t a l a r e a between Broken Bay and Lake M a c q u a r i e , and the f a r m i n g l a n d a l o n g the Hawkesbury R i v e r and Mangrove and Popran Creeks. On t h e c o a s t , gangs o f a s s i g n e d s e r v a n t s c l e a r e d l a r g e g r a n t s f o r absentee l a n d h o l d e r s . The main p u r s u i t s were f e l l i n g t r e e s and g r a z i n g cattle. The a r e a was reached by s a i l i n g v e s s e l s from Sydney. The p o p u l a t i o n was under one hundred a t the census o f 1828. The f a r m i n g l a n d s a l o n g 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 o f f a r m e r s , m o s t l y e m a n c i p i s t s , w i t h the h e l p o f one o r two a s s i g n e e s . They grew g r a i n s and pumpkin and they burned mangroves f o r ashes. They t r a v e l l e d by s a i l i n g a l o n g t h e r i v e r t o Sydney o r Windsor.

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 s u r p r i s i n g l y w e l l . A system i s , a f t e r 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. I t must be said, however, that i t was also i n their interests for the system to work i n a f a i r fashion. F. W. Maitland took much i n t e r e s t i n the subject and i s quoted by Esther Moir i n her study as stating; "Perhaps the most d i s t i n c t i v e l y English part of a l l our governmental i n s t i t u t i o n s was (the. LnitLtatlon] of J.P., and even i n this century he remains a cornerstone of B r i t i s h administration. For over s i x centuries the J.P. has stood i n the front l i n e to maintain law and order, and for most of that time he has been simultaneously the p r i n c i p a l representative of central government and the focus of l o c a l power. That the o f f i c e of J.P. should have been e f f i c i e n t , by and large devoid of perquisites, and unpaid makes i t as remarkable as i t i s unique."

[1]

The system of Justice of the Peace was adapted to and worked very well i n conditions where the f a b r i c of the society was s t i l l very r u r a l and unsophisticated. I t was conducted by representatives of the l o c a l gentry who possessed ascendancy over the population by their p o s i t i o n and their education. I t worked best i n the centuries when England was s t i l l a r u r a l nation. I t also worked very well i n A u s t r a l i a when similar economic and r u r a l conditions prevailed. In our d i s t r i c t of Brisbane Water, t h i s was the period from s e t t l e ment to municipal incorporation, between 1826 and 1886. I t was: " . . . an o f f i c e held by unpaid amateurs throughout s i x centuries of English history which has become . . . deeply embedded i n national l i f e .

In the 14th century, communications i n 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 i n armed groups. The King communicated with the most Important of h i s subjects and they were apprised of his Instructions. He had no d i r e c t contact with the majority of h i s subjects who could not read. His w i l l was transmitted by the l o c a l authority, the l o r d of the manor, the l o c a l baron, e a r l or knight, the large landowner, the n o b i l i t y , the gentry. People i n r u r a l 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 l o c a l squires were the only authority they knew who could enforce their authority. These l o c a l powers varied with the size of the estate, and with the influence, importance and s o c i a l 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 t h e i r personality and the dependence of their tenants and retainers; the v i l l a g e r s and the population depended on them for work, patronage, shelter and s u r v i v a l . The populat i o n did not leave their parishes of b i r t h except on rare occasions such as marriage. Likewise, most of our l o c a l 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 s i m i l a r i t y to that of the r u r a l settlements i n New South Wales, distant from the c e n t r a l 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 l o c a l 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 j u s t i c e , to l o c a l knights and gentry those who might be expected to command respect i n their l o c a l i t i e s . They were described i n an Act of 1327 (which did not i n fact create the o f f i c e , 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 r e s t r i c t i o n was Imposed that they might only i n i t i a t e proceedings but not determine them. Their authority i n fact was too s i n g u l a r l y l i m i t e d to be e f f i c i e n t . The and to men

House of Commons, representing the Interests of the gentry burgesses, kept on urging the claims of commissions issued the country gentry, demanding that they should be given to with some knowledge of l o c a l conditions.

This i s similar to the complaints of Donnlson i n his pamphlet "Tke. Bllibane. Waie/L Ca-4e4", on Governor Bourke having reduced the powers of l o c a l J.P.s thus causing the servants and Ticket of Leave holders to become r e s t l e s s 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 d e f i n i t e authority to determine felonies and trespasses. They never l o s t t h e i r power to determine the indictments they i n i t i a t e d . Moreover, their authority was gradually extended beyond criminal matters to cover economic and administrative a f f a i r s . Each Bench of Justices consisted e s s e n t i a l l y of country gentry with a sprinkling of lawyers. The Justices were to be men resident i n their shire with some knowledge of l o c a l conditions. I t was s p e c i f i e d i n 1439 that a l l J.P.s should be holders of land worth ÂŁ20 per annum freehold, meaning that the status should be that of a country gentleman, and that a man should l i v e i n the country, "be of s u f f i c i e n t l i v i n g and countenance" and "be neither unlearned nor ignorant". The central government t e c h n i c a l l y appointed, and to a large extent controlled, the J u s t i c e s . Their s e l e c t i o n was subject to l o c a l influence and r e f l e c t e d l o c a l i n t e r e s t . The numbers i n the commission i n the early fourteenth century was small, no more than four or f i v e men to each county. The number of J.P.s s i t t i n g at Gosford was also small, often i n s u f f i c i e n t to discharge t h e i r duty without undue demand on t h e i r time. The greatest number of J.P.s available l o c a l l y was s i x i n 1860 and i n 1862. Their number f a l l to three i n 1848 and 1863 and was as low as two i n 1866. [6] Moir, Esther, op. c i t . , page 28.

[6]

Every man named In the commission had to take an oath before he could serve, and h i s tenure of o f f i c e then lasted u n t i l 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 f o r the whole country, but when and where i t was necessary to add or to subtract names i n any p a r t i c u l a r county. The new Justice then remained a magistrate f o r l i f e , or u n t i l the death of a sovereign, unless h i s name was dropped from any future commission (which happened f a i r l y often) . . . This remained a strong weapon i n the Government's d i s c i p l i n i n g of l o c a l worthies; i f they misbehaved they were l e f t off, despite their protests." This happened here l o c a l l y , as mentioned further on, when J.P.s formed two antagonistic factions, and some of them l o s t t h e i r commission.

[7]

[8]

The authority of the Bench was not l i m i t e d by the s o c i a l positions of delinquents. J.P.s could, and would, t r y any i n d i v i d u a l infringment of the law and i m p e r i l l i n g of the peace, without reference to the s o c i a l p o s i t i o n of the offender. "Sessions have the recurrent theme of violence, a violence moreover which was not l i m i t e d to the peasantry and the lower order, f o r the Indictments on the session r o l l s t e l l of crimes committed by knights, canons, chaplains, l o c a l o f f i c i a l s , even by the justices themselves."

[9]

The s i t u a t i o n was not d i f f e r e n t here as Bean, Donnlson, Moore, Hargraves and L y a l l Scott, amongst others, a l l J.P.s, appeared before and were d i s c i p l i n e d by the l o c a l Bench. For a l l their shortcomings, the Justices of the Peace f u l l y bore out the f a i t h of the Commons that they afforded the best potential means f o r keeping the peace. I t may also be said that perhaps "the Crown approved of them p a r t i c u l a r l y because they were cheap . . . " They were c l e a r l y the most s a t i s f a c t o r y means of organising l o c a l government. In 1607, l o c a l tyrannies and feuds not only disrupted the peace of landed society, but created an atmosphere which encouraged crime and r i o t among the poor, the landless and the homeless. There were r i o t s , brawls, assaults, murders, private feuds and l o c a l factions. I t i s against this backdrop that the Justices were c a l l e d to the Commission of the Peace. [7]

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 r u r a l society, v i z - l o c a l landed gentry, i t followed that many Justices s i t t i n g on the same bench were related. Likewise, many of our l o c a l J.P.s were linked by family t i e s : 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. A l f r e d Holden had married an Osborne. Willy Nunn married Fanny Holden, and h i s aunt Emma Nunn had married John Alexander Osborne! This does not necessarily imply that they acted with one w i l l . C o n f l i c t s of Interest are not overridden by family connections; often family t i e s bring c o n f l i c t s . However, our l o c a l J.P.s c e r t a i n l y did show i n 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 p r a c t i c a l 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.'" "The. Kuitiallxn MagLitKCUtt", a p r a c t i c a l manual written by the Attorney General, John Hubert Plunkett, was produced for the same purpose of guiding J.P.s i n t h e i r everyday duty on the Bench of New South Wales. A l e g a l 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 s i t t i n g on the Bench and observing the comportment of t h e i r brother magistrates. The clerk was often very competent. This was the case with our l o c a l Clerk of the Bench, Thomas Cade Battley, who was ready to give advice when s o l i c i t e d . Most had spent a number of years i n the o f f i c e and had a wide experience of the way to conduct the bench proceedings. [10] Moir, Esther, op. c i t . , page 32.

The services of the Justices of the Peace were v i r t u a l l y unpaid, and f o r that reason very well appreciated by the central administration. However, the o f f i c e 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 j u s t i c e , 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 regul a t i o n s , 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 s u i t s . I t s j u r i s d i c t i o n 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 r u r a l settlements of New South Wales i n the nineteenth century, the Justices were not c a l l e d upon to judge witchc r a f t cases, but a l l the other crimes were represented poaching on a grand scale was c a l l e d c a t t l e thieving i n England and c a t t l e duffing i n A u s t r a l i a . 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 l o c a l magistrates, and then with the l i m i t a t i o n s of f i f t y or a hundred lashes (to the great disappointment of Henry Donnlson), or returning the offender to Sydney f o r t r i a l or f o r special treatment such as the tread-mill, iron gangs, etc. The e a r l i e r English magistrates could choose from hanging, branding, and whipping - as d i s t i n c t 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 l o c a l power, the Crown and the Privy Council gave i t s orders to the l o c a l r u l e r s 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 l e t t e r s 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 i n punishing cases of negligence. I t was always w i l l i n g to investigate complaints of neglect or oppression brought against Justices. Cases of maladministration might be heard i n chancery or by Justices of oyer and terminer, who were s p e c i a l l y 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 l o c a l authority to help sales of their newspapers. They used mainly two devices: one was the l e t t e r s 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 a r t i c l e s produced by Tkz Sydnzy Gazzttz at the time of the BlJUbanz (JJatzn. CaiZi i n 1837/38 i s a good example of the Influence newspapers sought to exercise i n r e l a t i o n 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 l o c a l magistrate. S t i l l , the country gentry formed the backbone of country society.

Differences Between the Justices of the Peace i n England and i n the Colony The system i n New South Wales was obviously similar to that which was i n force i n England as i t was an i n s t i t u t i o n brought d i r e c t l y from the Mother Country. However, the systems differed i n two respects, due to the p a r t i c u l a r nature of the Colony. The Church was not represented on the benches at the time we are studying. E a r l i e r , men of the cloth had been appointed magistrates, as was the custom i n England. The Bishop of A u s t r a l i a was a de facto member of the L e g i s l a t i v e Council, and the Rev. Samuel Marsden was a magistrate at Parramatta. On occasions Marsden even t r i e d h i s 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 i n 1640 as part of i t s attack on the e c c l e s i a s t i c hierarchy. [12]

[12]

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, u n t i l by the 1780s there were f i f t e e n . In W i l t s h i r e too, the number of c l e r i c 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 i n 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 i n the dubious position of on the one hand v i r t u a l l y 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 i n a case he had himself initiated."

[13]

Governor P h 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 P h i l l i p ' s departure. When Hunter returned as Governor i n 1795, he quickly reinstated the c i v i l magistrates, including Johnson. Several other Anglican clerg3nnen sat on the Bench; t h e i r j u d i c i a l duties could only damage the cause of Colonial Christianity.

[14]

[15],[16]

There were clergymen on the benches of Parramatta, Windsor and Wllberforce, of the Castlereagh, Airds and Appin d i s t r i c t s , i n Tasmania and at Norfolk Island. The practice of appointing the clergy as magistrates i n New South Wales came to an end i n 1827. I t was discontinued by Governor Darling on the advice of Archdeacon Scott. In 1843 Alfred Holden expressed regret at the absence of the l o c a l parson from the number of the C o u n c i l l o r s . Requested to supply names of suitable candidates, he answered the Governor's Private Secretary that there were very few suitable candidates, and ended h i s l e t t e r : "I wish more than I can express that our excellent Clergyman Mr. Rogers could be of the numbers . â&#x20AC;˘ . and i f he cannot be appointed I would much wish at [13] Cobbett, c i t e d i n Moir, Esther, op. c i t . , pages 106 and 142.

the l e a s t his c o n f i d e n t i a l opinion could be obtained..." In view of the acrimony i n l o c a l p o l i t i c s , the coercive nature of the duties and punitive actions that the l o c a l magistrates were bound to adopt, i t seems quite appropriate that a clergyman was prevented from s i t t i n g 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 r e l i g i o u s services.

Comparing the Police Force and the Bench i n England and i n 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 i n the Colony there was a police establishment maintained by the Government. The peacekeeping machinery of England during the Napoleonic Wars was more or l e s s what i t had been during the year of the Armada. The duty of police was voluntary and amateur. The Justice remained the e s s e n t i a l guardian of established order. Amateurs who offered their services were paid by r e s u l t . The saying "No sedition, no pay!" meant that voluntary forces of police were assembled only i n cases of emergency, i n p a r t i c u l a r when situations arose such as r i o t s , plundering gangs roaming the countryside, and organised disruption of the peace. Action on anything beyond t h i s depended upon the Justices and the forces they controlled ujhlck we^e not paid I Three instruments were available to suppress r i o t s , a l l of which could be c a l l e d on by the magistrates. The f i r s t was the voluntary defence associations which could be constituted by any l o y a l minority and their expenses paid by voluntary subscriptions. The equivalent to that system i n the Colony, i n cases of emergency, were parties led by public-minded s e t t l e r s , or the formation of posses, set up to hunt the bushrangers and various other malefactors. This system of v i g i l a n t e s or voluntary self-defence i s 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] A p r i l 1,

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 l o c a l magistrate. Locally, this took the form of a punitive force of armed s e t t l e r s . I f 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 l o c a l armed force. When the M i l i t i a , as often happened, showed reluctance i n putting down l o c a l unrest by fighting against neighbours, then the Magistrate could c a l l i n the m i l i t a r y forces, which surprisingly they often did. There was no M i l i t i a i n NSW, but the equivalent was to c a l l i n the armed forces from Sydney, as was done by Willoughby Bean. In February, 1827, having received Information that a group of bushrangers was i n the v i c i n i t y . Bean requested that a corporal and a party be sent from Sydney. Bean was sent a m i l i t a r y party from the 39th Regiment under a Lieutenant acting as Brigade Major. In doing t h i s . Bean was following a B r i t i s h t r a d i t i o n . The m i l i t a r y parties were subordinate to the Magistrate and followed h i s instructions. In NSW, however, the l o c a l 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, i n the 1830's, the peacekeeping machinery at the disposal of the l o c a l authorities over most of r u r a l 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 l a t t e r was a p a r t i c u l a r l y unpopular o f f i c e , involving neither status nor remuneration. In V i c t o r i a n England the whole community was expected to turn out to a s s i s t the peace o f f i c e r s i n the event of a disturbance. In England i n 1839, f i f t y - t h r e e boroughs possessed no police, and i n 1848 twenty-two corporate towns were s t i l l without one. [19]

Even a f t e r 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 p r o b a b i l i t y of a r u r a l police being established In the county. The Norfolk police i n 1841 were rather Ingloriously forced to detain their prisoners by chaining them to bed-posts or to mangers i n stables for lack of more e f f i c i e n t lock-ups. In NSW, the troublesome or violent convicts were s i m i l a r l y chained to heavy logs or trees i n the very f i r s t years of settlement, but l o c a l l y , three years a f t e r the a r r i v a l of the f i r s t s e t t l e r s , 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 i n the colony i n the 1830's may appear to modern eyes to have been primitive, but by comparison to the system operating i n England, i t was well-organised and was due, as we have seen, to the o r i g i n a l status of penal colony where a police force was a necessity from the beginning; no such need had been f e l t i n r u r a l England. The colony was managed by a centralised armed organisation, where the Governor wielded much power and I n i t i a t i v e . Police organisation i n r u r a l England had been l e f t through centuries to the Justices' I n i t i a t i v e s or lack of i t , the main problem being to f i n d funds for s a l a r i e s . The funds needed for the Colonial police came from the M i l i t a r y 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 t h e i r interests i n a c e r t a i n measure. It was therefore to be expected that the Home Office would seek means to save the expenses of Colonial police forces from the M i l i t a r y Chest by s h i f t i n g the cost, or part of i t , onto those who most benefited. This was a l l the more l o g i c a l when the discontinuation of transportation greatly reduced the convicts; the o r i g i n a l reason f o r which police had been organised and funded by the Colonial O f f i c e . In 1843 the D i s t r i c t Councils were formed. One of their objectives and the main cause of the opposition to their acceptance, was to place h a l f the cost of maintaining the police forces upon the free s e t t l e r s , who argued that the existence of the force was e n t i r e l y due to the presence of convicts and therefore was the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y of the government and should be supported by i t . The funding of Police Establishments loomed large i n the discussions and were a s i g n i f i c a n t part of the reason for

London's top-hatted Peelers take to the streets in 1829: from the Oxford Illustrated Encyclopaedia: World History

bringing about the rejection of D i s t r i c t Councils and also of l o c a l government when i t was proposed - the prospect of independence also carried with i t the l i k e l i h o o d of large costs to the community. The concept of l o c a l parish police was not sustainable as i t equated with fragmentation of forces. Local recruitment and t r a i n i n g would lead to forces of various e f f i c i e n c i e s and d i f f e r e n t potentials f o r successful r e s u l t s . In England, the f i r s t professionally conducted police force was one which Peel organised i n London, hence the common nickname "Peelers". This was the f i r s t metropolitan police force established. "The suggestion of i n s t i t u t i n g a professional police force, trained, controlled and paid by l o c a l taxation, was greeted with c r i e s of horror as 'continental' and 'Tyrannous'. I t was assumed that there were throughout the country l o c a l gentry of Integrity and a b i l i t y who could be counted upon to defend the rights of property and r e s t r a i n society within i t s proper channels." It was at l a s t recognised that a police force must be based upon c e n t r a l i s a t i o n and uniformity, sharing Information and t r a i n i n g , and be above parish r i v a l r y .

I n the e a r l y days of the C o l o n y , the Governor was the maker and the e n f o r c e r of the r u l e s , but as g r e a t as h i s power was, i t was s t i l l l i m i t e d .

BRISBANE WATER The f i r s t g r a n t s i n t h i s p a r t of the Colony are dated from 1823. They were m o s t l y l a r g e g r a n t s - i n the c o a s t a l r e g i o n a t l e a s t - and as many landowners l i v e d i n Sydney, they put

THE

The u s u a l way to ensure o r d e r i n England was to a p p o i n t 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 r e p r e s e n t the a u t h o r i t y and to e n f o r c e the laws.

The more s e r i o u s cases of f e l o n y , murder and the l i k e were r e f e r r e d t o a h i g h e r j u r i s d i c t i o n .

EARLY POLICE FORCE IN BRISBANE WATER The Chief or D i s t r i c t

Constables

Finding candidates w i l l i n g and able to perform the duties of constable was a recurring problem for the l o c a l 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 r e l i a b l e . Few could read, and fewer could write. I t 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 D i s t r i c t Constable. Robert HENDERSON was our f i r s t D i s t r i c t Constable, appointed In A p r i l , 1825, even before the l o c a l 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 A p r i l 1831, CAPE of Wyong wrote a l e t t e r to complain to the Governor about the Inefficiency of the l o c a l Police Force.f7j A report from Maltland dated 6th A p r i l r e p l i e s to the facts advanced by CAPE. In the l e t t e r of complaint, CAPE wrote; "I hope I may be permitted to ask why the Government continues i n their employ as constables i n the D i s t r i c t of Northumberland Messrs. HENDERSON....regular farming and trading men t o t a l l y u n f i t f o r the o f f i c e . " The report concurs with CAPE, stating: "The D i s t r i c t Constable HENDERSON alone possesses a farm, he i s said to be a man of some property, speculates i n ship building and owns a trading vessel....He appears to be an active i n t e l l i g e n t man but I consider i t quite impossible that he can do h i s duty e f f i c i e n t l y with so many other things to attend to. Your Excellency (may) determine on appointing some person to the o f f i c e whose private a f f a i r s are less l i k e l y to take up h i s attention than HENDERSON." It i s evident that being a farmer with fourteen men (eight free and s i x 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 district.

From Police reports, we know that there was a Chief Constable at Brisbane Water i n 1835 with an annual income of ÂŁ75, 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 i n a report on the death of James McMAHON, dated 12th July 1836.[2] We know of him mostly through h i s d e f i c i e n c i e s i n f u l f i l l i n g the duties of h i s position. "A man c a l l i n g himself James THOMPSON was apprehended... was placed i n 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 h i s charge...on 14th July THOMPSON escaped and i s s t i l l at large " WARNER called SCOTT a "milksop" and gives h i s 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 i n the persons of h i s Chief Constable and h i s scourger/lockup keeper. In a l e t t e r 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 f o r 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 f o r improper conduct i n December 1836, causing the position to become vacant again. Robert SCOTT i s not found i n the 1828 Census or on any other l i s t . We know of him only through the mention of h i s name and the instance of his dismissal. He does not seem to have stayed i n the d i s t r i c t . [2] [3]

On 31st December 1836, FAUNCE recommended f o r the Governor's consideration the name of James DREW, the lockup keeper, to be appointed Chief Constable i n l i e u of Robert SCOTT, dismissed. James DREW was a former sergeant i n 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 i n 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 i n 1862, but this could be referring to HELY's brother-in-law.

Thomas Cade BATTLEY

The name of Thomas Cade BATTLEY is indissolubily linked with the early history of this district where he lived for over 54 years, 36 of which he served in an official capacity as clerk of a host of services . He also had a lifetime involvement with the local Church of England. T.C. BATTLEY was the son of Lieutenant - Colonel William BATTLEY of the 60th Rifles, and was descended from a distinguished Irish Protestant family. Thomas BATTLEY arrived in the district before 1838 . He settled at the northern tip of The Entrance Peninsula on the 640 acres which had been originally promised to Henry HOLDEN in 1828. Like many settlers unprepared for agricultural pursuits and the 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 to the Bench of Magistrates of Brisbane Water, registrar of the Court of Requests , Clerk of Petty Sessions , Land Agent, &c. He was also Post Master ( a position he resigned in 1860) and warden of Christ Church. The BATTLEY family was well-known and respected . married locally . The children were:-

Many children

Rosa Ann, born in 1835 Thomas Cade, 1837 Eliza Emily, 1839 Arabella, 1841 William, 1845 Henriette Elizabeth, 1847 The first two children were baptised together in February 1838 in Sydney by William COWPER. Rosa Ann died in 1859. Eliza Emily married the Rev. John SHAW in 1867. William BATTLEY died in 1929; his wife Harriet died in 1923. Two sisters of Thomas Cade BATTLEY arrived about the same time, and probably with him. They were Caroline Ann who married Edward Lindsey HELY, who died in 1882, and Harriett, who married Willoughby BEAN in 1838. Thomas Cade BATTLEY retired from official duties in 1880. He had become a Justice of the Peace , a significant title at that time. In May 1880, a testimonial of appreciation for his long and valuable service was conferred on him by the citizens of Gosford assembled in the Court House. He died on 18 September, 1892 at the great age of 88, and was buried in Point Frederick cemetery.

Willoughby BEAN

Willoughby BEAN was born in Hampshire , England, the eldest of eleven children . His father was a Major in the Coldstream Guards and his mother was Elizabeth , n4e HAFFEY . Major BEAN was made a prisoner in the Napoleonic wars and was assigned to reside in the town of Amboise in France where he was to spend the rest of the war. His family joined him there. When the hostilities were over , Major BEAN and and his family stayed on in France . Willoughby returned to England to finish his schooling and then emigrated to Australia in 1824. His cousin, Henry Gunsley WATSON , came to Australia at the same time. BEAN was promised a grant of 2,000 acres by Governor BOURNE. He took up and settled on his grant at Erina . In August, 1826, he was appointed the local Police Magistrate . He held court and administered summary justice from his house at Erina which he had called "Amboie.". He proceeded to build a Watch House and lock-up. In 1831, after becoming insolvent, he had to relinquish the office of Police Magistrate. He stayed on in the district managing estates and dealing in cattle for absentee landowners such as MANNING. While he was dealing in cattle , he was caught up in "The B,%,Ubane Watea Ca4e " when the then local Police Magistrate , Alured Tasker FAUNCE, initiated proceedings against BEAN , Henry DONNISON and John MOORE . It seems that a cow whose ownership was in dispute had been slaughtered by DONNISON, who had bought it from MOORE from a herd originally sold by BEAN . The accused were eventually exonerated and BEAN received some compensation for having been put in irons without justification. In 1837, shortly after the conclusion of the Case , BEAN married Harriett BATTLEY, the sister of Thomas Cade BATTLEY, a local resident and Clerk of the Bench. By 1839, Willoughby BEAN had left the district. He was farming at Banksmeadow when he once again became insolvent. In 1844, the BEANS and two children left Australia for Great Britain . They went to Lampeter in Wales where Willoughby studied for Holy Orders. In 1848, the family returned to Australia, settling at Port Phillip. Willoughby was ordained a Deacon and posted to Williamstown and in 1849 he became itinerant minister in Gippsland . In his later years he was appointed Chaplain at Yarra Bend and Kew. He died in Melbourne in 1877. Harriett Battley BEAN died at South Yarra aged 86.

Henry DONNISON

Henry DONNISON was one of the second wave of early settlers in Brisbane Water. He arrived in the Colony in the year of the 1828 Census, but was not one of the 99 inhabitants who had 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 the Parish of Boldon, Durham, on 24th April, 1817 at Boldon, by licence. Henry was an insurance broker. The couple moved to London where the first of their five daughters was born. Hannah DONNISON was born in the Parish of St. George-in-theEast in September 1819. Margaret was born next in the same Parish in October, 1821, and she died in infancy. So did Emma, who was buried in October, 1825 at Kennington, Surrey, in the Parish of St. Marks. Eliza, the fourth daughter, was born at Kennington in March, 1824. The DONNISONS decided to settle in Australia with their two small surviving daughters, Hannah aged 9, and Eliza aged 4. They arrived in Hobart Town on 29 July 1828, later in the year moving to Hunter Street, Sydney where Henry became established as a merchant. A fifth daughter, Laura, was born 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. The estate, named "Erin", was at Brisbane Water. At the end of 1832, the DONNISONS moved north to establish themselves at Erina. With them came Daniel BERRY and Henry ANDERSON, two assigned servants. It seems that Henry DONNISON had truly pioneered a large-scale timber industry on his estate. He was also part of the social structure of the district. He was a Justice of the Peace and sat 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 administration.of the law, the enforcement of order, and the dispensation of retribution. Together with John MOORE, he forcibly complained when lesser settlers were given positions of authority. He strenuously objected to T. A. SCOTT sitting on the Bench, a He saw this as a deliberate insult to former Pound Keeper. himself 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 he was a Trustee for the Church of England. DONNISON was killed in July 1847 as a result of a fractured skull, suffered when a limb 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, the son of a Dublin physician. He arrived in Sydney with his family in May 1821 and was immediately appointed to be a magistrate and an assistant surgeon. DOUGLASS ' early life in the colony was often marred by slander and conflict caused by his desire to help ameliorate the conditions under which the less-fortunate citizens of the colony lived. Full details of these conflicts can be found in volumes dealing with this period in Australia ' s history . Of note was the incident in 1825 when DOUGLASS and another magistrate caused Samuel MARSDEN to be charged with having permitted an assigned servant to work for his own benefit . The clergyman was convicted and 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, on 11th April 1849 at St . James' Church , Sydney. Archibald and Eliza Emily OSBORNE had two sons, John Douglass OSBORNE and Henry Grattan Douglass OSBORNE, before Archibald died suddenly in 1851. Dr. DOUGLASS acted occasionally as a magistrate on the bench at Brisbane Water to help Boyd HORSBRUGH , who was the only magistrate here for a time. HORSBRUGH had been on his own because HARRISON, RELY, HARGRAVES and SCOTT had all lost their commissions following in-fighting between the members of the bench . ( RELY and SCOTT were later restored ; HARRISON and HARGRAVES did not again sit on the bench.) Boyd HORSBRUGH was not implicated in the bench's discord as he had been away from the district for the two previous years; in 1861, he and his brother had temporarily left the district for the goldfields of Kiandra. John MOORE came back to the district and his name appears in the register on 12th April 1864. From then on HQRSBRUGH had MOORE's company on the bench until SCOTT resumed bench duties in September and RELY in November. Henry Grattan DOUGLASS was an important person in this ' period of Australian history. He was responsible for landmark laws being made , including that which brought about abolition of public executions which was later copied in the other colonies of Australia. He helped his friend W. C. WENTWORTH establish the University of Sydney , and he was a member of the Senate of the University from 1853 to 1865. He was also a member, from 1856 to 1861, of the Legislative Council. 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 carrying on a family tradition in this trade; his mother , Mary, worked on a dairy . Dennis joined the Army, enlisting in the Royal Lancaster Regiment ( also known as The King's Own Regiment) when he was about 16. In 1829, at the age of 18, he married Agnes CAINE of Glasgow , who was one year his senior. In 1831, the regiment was ordered to do duty in New South Wales. Dennis arrived in Van Diemen's Land on 15th November 1831, transferring to Sydney in March, 1832. During the next five years , he was stationed at Parramatta ( when he became a corporal ), the Barracks in Sydney (receiving a promotion to Lance-Sergeant ), Emu Plains , Carter's Barracks and finally the Garrison where he received his discharge on 30th June 1837. 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 appointment 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 least some of his family left behind in Ireland to follow him and emigrate 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' father had fulfilled his bond to the government for payment of the family's passage . Dennis purchased land in the township, as many 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 the police and administration of our district . He was appointed Bailiff 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 drunk whilst on duty - an unforgivable sin for a Chief Constable! After receiving bad advice from members of the Bench, his case for a pension was disallowed. He died on 10th June 1879 of "Old Age and Breaking up of the System" and was buried at Point Frederick Cemetery.

Alured Tasker FAUNCE

Born in 1808 , Alured Tasker FAUNCE was the son of MajorGeneral Alured Dodsworth FAUNCE of Clifton, Bristol , England. He joined the army at the age of sixteen after having received a good education. When FAUNCE lived at Queanbeyan, he lived the life of a gentleman , playing the flute and singing for relaxation . His family must have been wellto-do. He had his portrait painted by Richard READ in 1833 while he was still a Lieutenant , and became a Captain when 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 his family at Brisbane Water, and it is possible that he left them in a better environment at Liverpool , not bringing them to a district where the conditions would certainly have been more primitive. FAUNCE was the main character in a series of events which became known as "The St .i56ane CVa teA Caze". It would seem from evidence that FAUNCE proposed to stay and settle in the Brisbane Water District ; he bought 25 acres of land on the outskirts of the town reserve in September 1837, after he had lost the court cases in actions instigated by Willoughby BEAN and John MOORE ( Henry DONNISON ' s action was delayed until October, 1837). Obviously the optimistic FAUNCE intended to stay on as Police Magistrate. However, after the deplorable episode of the original court case , the acquittals of the defendants and the public disgrace of being sued as the Governor ' s representative and condemned to pay reparations , it is possible that His Excellency thought FAUNCE had learned through his tribulations the art of being a District Magistrate and had matured through his mistakes . The Governor therefore appointed him to a new post at the Limestone Plains, now Queanbeyan. He died suddenly on 26th April, 1856, whilst playing in a cricket match as wicket -keeper, at Queanbeyan.

Edward Hammond HARGRAVES

HARGRAVES ' fame derives from his claim of having discovered the first " payable gold " in New South Wales. Many studies conclude that this claim was spurious . We do not enter into the debate ; there has never been any gold in our district and therefore we do not have immediate interest in his actions and 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 his return from the goldfields in 1852, he lived at Norah Head. Edward H. HARGRAVES was born at Gosport, a seaport opposite Portsmouth on Spithead , in 1816. He came to Australia in 1832 as a cabin-boy of 16, on board the "Wave". Edward was a hefty boy and grew in adulthood to a man of some six feet six inches in height , with a weight in proportion scaling around 19 stone. Between his arrival and 1836, he worked on a cattle run near Bathurst , then went to sea collecting sea slugs in the Torres Strait, and returned to Bathurst. In late 1836 , aged 19 years, he married Eliza MACKIE , daughter of a Sydney merchant. With his wife ' s money they took a hundred acres of grazing land near Dapto Creek in the Wollongong area, but after three disappointing years, they sold out at a loss. HARGRAVES then worked for a steamship company. In 1840, he was appointed agent for the company at East Gosford. He also bought allotments at East Gosford with his wife's money and in her name. He built an hotel, "The Fox Undvt The Hitt", at the bottom of Victoria Street at the public wharf. He also ran a store and leased some small cottages . He became insolvent and in June , 1841, the uncompleted 12 room hotel was sold to satisfy creditors ' demands. Between the years 1849 and 1851, HARGRAVES made his fateful trip to the California gold rush . The period from 1851 to 1855 were his years of notoriety . He had bought 25 acres of land from Robert HENDERSON at Bungaree Norah in 1852, on the eve of his sailing for England to be presented to Queen Victoria . He bought further land from HENDERSON in 1853 and proceeded to build a house fit for his position. There were many times when HARGRAVES antagonised the majority of the population , which included Rev. Alfred GLENNIE, who has 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 at Waverley.

James HARRISON

We know very little about James HARRISON and his family. We do not know from where they came, or to where they went when they left Brisbane Water. From the baptism registers, we know that the children of James and Charlotte HARRISON were:Date o6 BL' th 13 Sep. 1842 1 Apr. 1843

However, it is through the pages of the Rev. Alfred GLENNIE's journal that we begin to find out what kind of people the HARRISON family were. There are many references to picnics, excursions and sailing parties, and through the pages of the journals we know such things as the fact that Maud took music lessons from Rev. GLENNIE, and that at "Mona Vale" there was a piano, a black servant and a maid. It seems that James HARRISON lived as a retired gentleman. As well as being one of the local Justices of the Peace, James HARRISON had, along with Henry DONNISON, been elected as a Councillor of the Brisbane Water District Council in 1846 for a term of three years. However, he did not serve his full term; by 1848 he had been replaced. This may have been because of a temporary absence from the area. HARRISON's name appears in the Bench Records from 1849 to 1861, and he had been appointed Coroner in 1858. In 1861, along with HELY, HARGRAVES and Lyall SCOTT, he lost his commission . HELY and SCOTT resumed their bench duties the following year, but HARRISON never appeared again. James HARRISON involved himself very much in the affairs of the Church. He was a Church Warden and in November 1858 he was chosen unanimously as Lay Representative for the District Parish at the December Conference held at Morpeth, which he attended with Rev. GLENNIE. HARRISON was very active in the local boat racing held on the Broadwater. The Rev. GLENNIE had been gone from Gosford for nearly six years when, on 30th January 1865, he recorded that he received a letter that evening from Mr. HARRISON announcing the death of Mrs. HARRISON, without any further comment.

Hovenden HELY

Hovenden HELY was born in 1823 at Tullamore, Ireland, the son of Frederick Augustus HELY and Georgina BUCKNELL. He came to the Colony with his family on the "I.aabe ta" in 1823 and was five years old in 1828. He was educated under W. T. CAPE at Parramatta King's School and became a clerk at the Colonial Secretary's Office for two years. His father, the Superintendent of Convicts, died in September, 1836 when Hovenden was 13 years old. In 1841, he was managing his father's estate at Brisbane Water, in which he had a one-fifth share. In 1846 and 1847 he was a member of one of LEICHHARDT's expeditions, together with his brother-in-law's brother, John Frederick MANN. HELY was mainly in charge of the herd of goats. they took with them on this expedition. He left a journal of the expedition which shows mutual distrust and dislike between LEICHHARDT and himself. [1] In 1849 he was back at "Wyoming" and appeared regularly as a magistrate on the local bench from 1849 to 1851. The following year he headed the official search for LEICHHARDT, who had disappeared; however, the search was unsuccessful. In 1853 and 1854 he was back at "Wyoming" and on the local bench. In the years 1856 and 1857 he represented Northumberland and the Hunter River districts in the first Legislative Assembly. HELY's sister married Gother K. MANN in 1838. MANN had been living locally between 1839 and 1843, acting as local magistrate sitting on the bench, until he applied for the position of surveyor with the newly formed Sydney District Council. He left for England in 1858, Hovenden HELY borrowed heavily. where he married Mary Gertrude CHURCH in Somerset. In 1860, he was back at Brisbane Water acting as local magistrate. In 1860 he borrowed again and had financial problems. In 1862 he lost his Commission of Justice of the Peace and, together with three other magistrates, was dismissed from the bench. His Commission was restored in 1864 and his name appears again in the bench books in 1864 and 1865. In 1865 he was declared bankrupt. His bankruptcy was discharged in 1868, when he again resumed his Justice of the Peace duties on the bench until 1872, the year of his death. HELY died at "Btcanthuwa.ite", St. Leonards, and was buried on 9th 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 of two Irish convicts, both from Dublin and who were both transported on the "Sugax Cane" for 7 years. His father was Thomas, who farmed 50 acres of land near Parramatta, and his mother was Margaret. The HENDERSONS were Protestants. In 1817, Robert married Catherine GEARY at St. John's Church of England, Parramatta. Catherine was the daughter of Patrick GEARY (1763-1827), who died at Kincumber. Patrick GEARY and his wife lived at Pitt Water where in 1826 he was District Constable. Robert HENDERSON obtained a grant of 80 acres at Pitt Water. Patrick GEARY had a grant of 100 acres at Brisbane Water, to where Robert and Catherine HENDERSON moved in the very first years of local settlement. Robert took up the duties of District Constable, to which office he was appointed on 15th May, 1824. The appointment brought E25 per annum while they were clearing the land and beginning to farm. He was the only Constable in the years 1824-25, even before a local Magistrate had been appointed to be in charge of the district. HENDERSON began to acquire parcels of land in the district, and in September 1829 he left the local police. He built a number of small vessels which were used to transport requirements to the early settlers. A man of many talents, he did not mind occasionally stepping outside the law if there was a profit to be made with little chance of detection. Of note was his implication in the case of the "Fa,vc Ban.badtan", a large-scale smuggling of some hundreds of casks of rum and brandy which were hidden in one of the remote small arms of the Broken Bay he knew so well. HENDERSON was described in the following terms in 1839 by Police Magistrate HOLDEN: "Mr. HENDERSON is a man of no Education who has become possessed of Considerable Property through his own steadiness & industry". He was then leaving Brisbane Water to live in Sydney. He later came back to Veteran's Hall and in 1850 he was elected to the District Council, and was later re-appointed. He died from a cancer of the face in 1869 and was buried in his private cemetery at Veteran's Hall. He had shown himself to be a man of enterprise,.a successful farmer, an acquisitive land owner, a local constable, a boat builder and owner, a publican, and, above all, a smart and sharp businessman.

Alfred HOLDEN

Alfred HOLDEN arrived from Worcestershire with his brother George Kenyon HOLDEN . George Kenyon HOLDEN was the Private Secretary to Governor BOURKE before he later established himself in private practice 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 situation to that which pitted FAUNGE against local landowners resulting in a 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 over from Captain FAUNCE. While he was at Dapto, Illawarra , Alfred HOLDEN married a daughter of Dr. Alick OSBORNE, one of a very well known and well established family of settlers. Alfred and his wife arrived at Brisbane Water at a time when it was still a primitive rural settlement without township or any urban facilities . HOLDEN acted with firmness and fairness and was very successful in controlling a turbulant population. HOLDEN took an active part in establishing the Church of England in this district . During the time he was in our area, he saw great improvements in the social environment. The administrative establishment 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 resulted in HOLDEN's family having to move from the site of the township, on which he had established himself, to the parcel of land on the town outskirts on Narara Creek originally owned by his predecessor FAUNCE. Following the reduction of the Magistrates in the Colony after the establishment of District Councils in 1843, HOLDEN was appointed Warden of the Brisbane Water District Council, a position carrying no salary . As he had therefore lost his remunerated position of Police Magistrate , he had no option but to resign, as he did not have an independent income. He went to Newport, a settlement on Dora Creek , and in 1849 moved further north to Penhurst on the 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 came from the Illawarra district . Alfred had married Jane OSBORNE; Jane's cousin John Alexander OSBORNE married Emma Eliza NUNN of Green Point; and Willy NUNN married Fanny Gillam HOLDEN.

Boyd HORSBRUGH

Boyd HORSBRUGH was born in about 1818 in Scotland . He arrived in New South Wales in March , 1838. He was the fifth son of Major Boyd HORSBRUGH of Loch Malony , and grandson of Major James HORSBRUGH of Mayfield , Fifeshire , Scotland . He received a private education and was later sent to the Dollar Academy in Scotland. On the death of his father in 1837 he decided to emigrate to Australia and apparently settled at Brisbane Water upon arrival. He took an active part in politics both in Britain and in the Colony. In the Colony , he campaigned for the return to Parliament of various candidates , including Timothy CAPE and Hovenden HELY in 1843. In 1844 he became a magistrate of the Territories. He was a Justice of the Peace sitting regularly on the local bench, and he was appointed Coroner in 1848. His brother Henry came out in 1847, returning to Scotland after two years , but coming back to Brisbane Water again some years later. In 1852, Boyd HORSBRUGH participated in the expedition led by Hovenden HELY to search for the remains of the lost LEICHHARDT expedition. HORSBRUGH had a terrifying experience on this expedition when he and a Captain ANDERSON became lost . They spent three days and nights without food or water. ANDERSON became raving mad and wanted to kill HORSBRUGH who had to fight him. They were rescued just in time, both very weak . HORSBRUGH became delirious and was taken to Newcastle , 700 miles away, where he took months to recover. ANDERSON was brought to Sydney where he soon died. Boyd HORSBRUGH left the district for a while , returning to Brisbane Water in 1858 , when he again took his seat on the local bench and resumed Coronial investigations . In 1861, he and his brother left the district for the goldfields of Kiandra. They purchased a property at Redbank in the Tumut district in 1872. Three years later they bought Malton , some five miles from Goulburn . Up to a short time before his death, Boyd HORSBRUGH occupied a position on the Goulburn Licensing Bench. Boyd HORSBRUGH died at Malton and was buried in the tiny cemetery of Kippilaw . His headstone reads: " Boyd Died Also died

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

John Maximus LETTE

John Maximus LETTE came from Tasmania, where his brother represented Central Launceston in the Tasmanian Parliament. He settled at Yarramalong on 843 acres which was originally a grant sold to Richard HILL of Vaucluse in 1840. He was visited in March 1855 by the Rev. Alfred GLENNIE who recorded in his journal that the LETTE family were living in a tent, their little cottage not yet being completed. Rev. GLENNIE baptised a little boy in December 1855, and then spent the night in the LETTE's house , which must have been completed then . He stayed the night on another visit to perform a baptism in January, 1857. John Maximus LETTE and his wife Sarah had three children born at Brisbane Water: Frank Isambard , born 3rd May, 1854 Donald, born 29th November, 1856 Emily 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 Elizabeth GIBSON. Richard HILL paid £ 210/15 /property in 1840; LETTE acquired it from HILL 1854; and when he sold it to Elizabeth GIBSON value had increased to £1,000/-/-.

March 1860 to for the Yarramalong for £758/14/- in in 1860, its'

Alfred GLENNIE informs us that LETTE went to the Snowy River from early May to the end of June , 1860. John Maximus LETTE's name appears in a return of Magistrates of the Colony printed in 1863 for the Legislative Assembly, which shows his address as Yarramalong , but lists three attendances at the Court of Petty Sessions , Kiandra. LETTE, attracted by the Kiandra gold rush and being a man of many 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 at Kiandra and spent much capital in developing them.

Gother Kerr MANN

Born in February , 1808, Gother Kerr MANN was a descendant of a distinguished family of Kent. His father was Gother MANN, R.E. (1746-1830 ), Inspector-General and Colonel -Commandant of the Royal Engineers , and he in turn was the son of General Cornelius MANN, R.E., and Elizabeth GOTHER. Gother Kerr's mother was Ann WADE, and he was one of a family of five sons and three daughters. Four of these sons had distinguished military careers: Gother Kerr was in the Royal Artillery, Cornelius was in the Royal Engineers , John Frederick was in the 28th Regiment and Frederick William was in the Royal Marines. In the early 1820's, Gother Kerr MANN went to India bearing a commission from King George IV to the Royal Bombay Horse Artillery . He saw much active service, and early in the 1830's he was invalided and came to New South Wales. In 1838 he married Mary Johanna HELY , 19 years of age, the eldest daughter of the late Frederick Augustus RELY, the former Superintendent of Convicts . Gother Kerr became one of the trustees of the estate of F. A. RELY . On 4th May 1839 he was appointed a Magistrate of the Territory and he gave his address as "Gother Kerr MANN , of Wyoming , Esquire". He began his duties on the local bench from July 1839. By 1842, Gother Kerr MANN was insolvent . In 1843 he applied for a position as District Surveyor for the Council of Sydney. In Low's 1844- 45 Directory , he was listed as a surveyor living in Liverpool Street. There is a record that in June 1850 he was surveying in the village of Nowra. However, he was living locally in 1849 when he was elected a District Councillor . In the North Shore Sydney Directory of 1851, 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 for Railways in July 1855,.a position;he held until July 1857. He was then entrusted by the Government with the construction of the Fitzroy Dry Dock. He retired from public service in 1870. On 3rd January 1898, Captain and Mrs. MANN celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary . They were surrounded by their entire family consisting of 12 children , 19 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren . A photograph was taken on this occasion of the family gathering. Gother Kerr MANN died on 1st January 1899, aged 90 years, at his home, Greenwich House, Greenwich Point, overlooking the Parramatta River.

John MOORE

John MOORE arrived in the Colony in 1829. He was an impoverished Irish Protestant. He obtained a grant of 650 acres in the Parish of Kincumber , which he named " Avoca ". Sarah, wife of the surveyor Felton MATHEW, met him in 1834, and wrote in her diary: "I received visit from . . . Mr. MOORE , a young man who has an estate about five miles from Erina, which he calls 'The Vale of Avoca' in honour of his countryman the famed poet. He is building a house, and when that is completed he will only want a wife to be perfectly happy, as he believes." He appears never to have married. He was engaged mostly in cattle dealing, rounding up wild cattle to which he claimed to have bought the rights . This claim was contested by many landowners , and from confusion about ownership arose bitter and acrimonious arguments . One such dispute sparked the Brisbane Water Case of 1837-38 which is the subject of a complete 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 Richard CAPE, which was ideal for mustering large herds of cattle. The financial position of John MOORE was never sound. His land was mortgaged to the hilt from the beginning . He found difficulty in paying the interest on mortgages or even the quit rent which was ÂŁ5/7/8 for Avoca and ÂŁ4 / 3/4 for Wallarah , CAPE's former grant. At one stage he thought of selling his holdings. He managed to stay afloat and became Warden of the District Council of 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 been overlooked 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 probably conducted by Thomas BATTLEY,.as it was not entered in the Church of England Register.

William NUNN and William John NUNN

There are a great many references to the NUNN family in the journals of the Rev . Alfred GLENNIE . From these journals we find that the Reverend "had the pleasure to make Mrs. NUNN's acquaintance who arrived the previous week" on 13th March 1855. Upon arrival in the district , the NUNN family lodged in the HELY's cottage " Wyoming", which they had leased . The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs . William NUNN, senior, their daughters Kate and Emma Eliza and two sons, Gordon and William John, junior. William John and his wife Fanny had a little boy named Willie or Willy ( GLENNIE is uncertain of the spelling of the boy's name). Alfred GLENNIE regularly called on the NUNNS and often stayed for dinner . It is difficult to ascertain to whom GLENNIE is referring when he mentions " Mr." or "Mrs." NUNN. It seems that when he mentions " Wm. NUNN" he is usually referring to Mr. NUNN senior, whereas the young William John is usually referred to as "Mr. NUNN". A dramatic and sad event occurred on 12th November 1856; the death by drowning of Gordon NUNN, William John's younger brother, in the Wyong River. The children of William John and Fanny NUNN were William (who was probably born before they came to the district ); Amelia Wyndham, born 1856 at Wyoming; Ada Jane Emma , born 1857 at Wyoming; Emma Lucy Erina ( 1859-1863 ), born at Erina; Eliza Alice Gordon , born 1861 at Erina; and Fanny who was born at Erina and died in 1863 aged two months. Although William NUNN , senior, was one of the representatives of the church , he later declined to act as a collector for contributions to the clergy fund. He was often afflicted with rheumatic pain which kept him on his bed for weeks on end. In January 1863, GLENNIE tells us that William John NUNN has been "attacked with this dreadful diphtheria" and was "suffering from difficulty in breathing all very distressing". His father was summoned to his bedside, and William John died on 26th January 1863. He was nearly 36 years of age, and was a retired Army officer. On 6th September that year , William John ' s widow, Fanny NUNN, aged 38, was buried in Point Frederick Cemetery . She probably died as a complication from childbirth , as we then found that on 15th November , another Fanny NUNN, aged two months , is also buried in Point Frederick Cemetery.

Thomas A l i s o n SCOTT

Born i n Glasgow, S c o t l a n d i n 1777, Thomas A l i s o n SCOTT went to the West I n d i e s where he saw sugar b e i n g made, and he s t u d i e d the c u l t i v a t i o n o f sugar cane. I n 1816 he came t o New South Wales. He o b t a i n e d sugar cane p l a n t s from T a h i t i and began t o advocate the growing o f cane and the p r o d u c t i o n o f sugar i n New South Wales. He went t o P o r t Macquarie f o r the Government but was n o t v e r y s u c c e s s f u l i n h i s endeavours i n growing and producing tobacco and sugar.

I t was subsequently found t h a t he was l o c a t e d on the s i t e o f the proposed township and he had t o move t o P o i n t C l a r e . He was appointed Poundkeeper f o r the d i s t r i c t by Jonathan WARNER i n December 1833, and i n September 1835 was appointed a s s e s s o r f o r the Brisbane Water Bench, t o t h e f o r c i b l y exp r e s s e d h o r r o r o f DONNISON and MOORE, who made an enemy of him. I n October 1836 he was a p p o i n t e d Postmaster a t B r i s b a n e Water and C l e r k o f P e t t y S e s s i o n s , and on 21 November was g a z e t t e d C l e r k o f the Bench t o the newly a p p o i n t e d P o l i c e M a g i s t r a t e , A l u r e d T.

The second crop seems t o have been q u i t e s u c c e s s f u l .

[ * ] Both deeds were s i g n e d by S i r George GIPPS i n 1839 and 1840 r e s p e c t i v e l y , and i n both cases were w i t h t h e agreement o f the o r i g i n a l grantees.

H i s name appears o c c a s i o n a l l y i n the l o c a l Bench R e g i s t e r from 1840 t o 1846.

INTRODUCING THE TRANSCRIPTS o6 the SWbane Waten Po&ce DAA.tnLct Ea4Ry AdminLo.tnatLve Reconda

INTRODUCING THE TRANSCRIPTS OF THE BRISBANE WATER POLICE DISTRICT EARLY ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS

There are seven surviving registers of the Police Magistrates and of the Bench at Brisbane Water. We have transcribed and indexed all seven, and they may be classified as follows: 1.

The earliest register contains the records of the Police Magistrates covering the years from 1826 to 1843. It was opened by Willoughby BEAN when he took office. This register contains many different matters of which the Magistrates wanted to keep a record. The content covers a variety of subjects and is therefore of the utmost interest to students of the early history of our district. It is analysed in an introduction to the transcripts. The title of the register is, as originally given, "Ttchet3 o6 Leave, Qua,, teAty and O.then Retuwcn4 &c. "

There are three Bench Books, begun in 1835 and extending to 1874. They mostly contain copies of letters and memoranda, and illustrate the daily business of administration of the district in their record of the correspondence to the central government, reports and local transactions.

The three Deposition Books record Court business and trial cases in the period from 1836 to 1872. They give us a good picture of events and behaviour of a number of individuals, and include summonses to answer inculpations, depositions as reported from witnesses, and circumstances. We also learn of death inquiries from coronial inquests. The depositions obtained in the Brisbane Water Case (the subject of the third volume in the series of the Hizto.Lcat Reconda o6 the Centn.at Coast o6 New South l/ake3) are all recorded in these registers. We wish to say here that occasionally there are unflattering statements of a personal nature in depositions. This is to be expected as the depositions were taken in cases of misdeeds . Then, as now, these depositions are public statements , and as such are not restricted by privacy considerations. All depositions and statements can be freely consulted at the Archives Office in Sydney and copies have been deposited at the Gosford City Library. We have, however, used discretion in describing the subject matters in the Table of Contents, but we have not modified or suppressed any depositions as this would

have seriously altered the historical value of our work. We hope that no-one will feel embarrassed through the publication of these historical records of the life of our district, which was always harsh and at times turbulent or violent. The Police Magistrates, until HOLDEN's dismissal in 1843, were the administrators of justice and the head of the Police Establishment. The Bench, comprising the Justices of the Peace of the district, took over the former Police Magistrates' functions until the establishment of the Borough Council in 1886. We intend to publish the seven Magistrates' registers in their entirety. Firstly, we have made available the present combined Table 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 will reproduce its own Table of Contents and Index of Names.

Indexes and Tables of Content: The value of any book is immensely enhanced by the inclusion of an index which permits retrieval of information not otherwise indicated. Books also usually exhibit a table of matters of content. Our registers obviously did not have an index, and only some had a very embryonic list of contents. We proceeded to compile both an index and a table of contents for each register. Using a computer, it was a simple process to produce indexes and also to incorporate the indexes into a combined index of all magistrates' registers. We offer in this volume the tables of content of all seven registers which will appear again individually in each volume, and also the amalgamated index of the seven individual indexes which will complete each single published register.

Our Transcripts of the Magistrates' Registers: The Magistrates' Registers are of various sizes, ranging from 284 to 541 pages. Keeping in mind that the optimum size for binding and for readers' convenience is around 350 pages, and in consideration of the size of the volumes in the series that have already been published, we have apportioned the seven registers in the following fashion: TICKETS OF LEAVE &c.

541 pages plus copious notes, in 2 volumes

BENCH BOOKS I, II & III

1,352

DEPOSITIONS I, II & III

, in 4 volumes "

, in 3 volumes

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 the present volume will enable people to appreciate the nature and scope of the information offered in the Magistrates' Registers , and gives references to the subjects and location of material. The typescripts , although not yet published , are available for study to any local history researchers who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity , by contacting the Honorary Secretary of the Gosford District Local History Study Group to make an appointment.

Bench Books and Deposition Books: The Reels The original registers of the Bench at Brisbane Water are a unique source of documentation of the life and administration of the early settlement. They are kept at the Sydney repository of the Archives Office of New South Wales. Being old and irreplaceable, they are not available for perusal or handling . They have therefore been microfilmed for the benefit of those who wish to study the information they have to offer. It will be noted that most reels also contain records which relate to other districts . It is often necessary to run past some of the information on a reel until the records for Brisbane Water appear. We have transcribed all parts which are relevant to our district, and afterwards , with special permission , we have checked our typescript with the original registers . However careful we. have been , we always advise that it is wise. to check information we provide with the film in case of any doubt . The written words, sometimes faint, may have been misread and not corrected in the subsequent check, which is a rather monotonous task. . Misspelling and other scribe idiosyncrasies have been left unaltered. There are five microfilm reels, which we have acquired. Details of the reels are listed on the following pages.

REEL NO. 895 - 4/5525

"T.Lcketh o^ Leave/Quahtex1y and Otkvt Rttunna &c." Reel No. 895 contains four Registers loosely titled Tickets of 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 fourth is 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 side QUARTERLY AND OTHER RETURNS &c. It contains a wealth of information, but has a peculiarity which needs to be fully explained here, in case researchers are unable to find the references they seek. The Register - the first of the Brisbane Water Magistrates' series - begun by Willoughby BEAN in August 1826 was also used by Jonathan WARNER and T.A. SCOTT, clerk to A. HOLDEN. The complication arises because the register has been used starting from both ends. Firstly, BEAN started from one end recording what he terms "Cases, Complaints and other Business brought before the Bench". In fact, he entered everything of which he wished to keep a record; hence the variety of the nature of the entries.

101

Pages are numbered on each opposite top corner. The official correspondence was entered from page 345, beginning with a letter dated August 21st, 1826 to the Colonial Secretary, and ends on page 393 with a letter from BEAN tendering his resignation, dated June 5th, 1831. Later, Jonathan WARNER succeeded BEAN as Magistrate. He turned the Register over, and began entering his records and correspondence from the opposite side, numbering the pages on the top middle of each sheet, beginning at page one in September 1833. His last entry is an abstract covering 1st July to 30th September, 1836. On page 63, T. A. SCOTT, Clerk for A. T. FAUNCE (the new magistrate replacing WARNER who had resigned) takes over by entering an abstract for the quarter October to December, 1836. The last page on that side of the Register is page 142: a Quarterly Return for 1st July to 30th September, 1840. Page 142 of that side corresponds with page 402 on the other side. 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, the assignment system, convicts and Tickets of Leave, the penal institution, extracts from PLUNKETT's "The Australian Magistrate", extensive correspondence from CAPE to supplement material on the subject entered in the Register, the Police Establishment), plus notes and biographical information when judged useful to explain points of interest. PART I is the remainder of the entries made by BEAN. It comprises 393 pages and covers the years from 1826 to 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. It comprises 142 pages.

INTRODUCTION TO THE COMBINED INDEX OF NAMES

The following index of names has been compiled from seven individual indexes prepared for each of the Brisbane Water Magistrates' Registers. The combined index contains some 4,000 name entries which give many thousands of references to the seven registers. The names have been entered in this index as they appear in the records with the variations in spelling, if any, and the prefixes we have found. Distinct entries are shown for MULHALL J.; MULHALL J째.; 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 the diversity into a standard individual heading. it to whoever is studying FLETCHER to decide if J. refers to James or to John FLETCHER, the senior or

to reduce We leave FLETCHER the junior!

The time span covered is from 1826 to 1874, two years short of half a century. Registers' Symbols: The reader is referred to page numbers in each individual register preceded by a register symbol. The explanation of these symbols is set out below. Joan Fenton. Gosford District Local History Study Group.
