To A J Skene Esq., Surveyor General of Victoria, Melbourne
Sir, We the selectors and residents of Gembrook and Packenham County of Mornington humbly request that you will please order that a new road may be surveyed through the selection of Mr Arthur Knight in the Parish of Packenham. This road we request will be to start from the north east corner of Mr Knight's selection, thence south west distant at about five chains more or less and being west from the two chain road and thence ending at the south east corner of the said selection. This new line of road will be on the side of a very high hill and with little expense can be made into a very good road. The present one chain road is too steep that it is almost impossible for us to get either up or down it and ought never to have been surveyed in that place. Trusting that you will give this a favourable consideration.
We have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servants.

  • 7 Nov 1914: MR PATRICK KENNEDY, PAKENHAM.
    After a long and lingering illness, borne with the most Christian fortitude, Mr Patrick Kennedy, Pakenham, passed quietly away on Wednesday, 14th inst. He was in all probability the most respected man that ever lived in this district, and his funeral, as a natural result, was one of the largest attended by all classes and creeds of the community, and at the same time was one of a most painful nature, inasmuch as only an hour before his decease, one of his daughters was married. He had lived here for a lifetime almost, and by his unassuming life, endeared himself to everyone who knew him. As he had lived, so he died, a man, as far as possible, without blemish or reproach, and I may truthfully say, beloved and respected by all who knew him, and the sympathy of everyone is with his widow and family. During the last crisis of his illness, Dr White was most zealous in his attendance, and helped greatly to make his last moments peaceful, whilst Father Gleeson was continuous and comforting in his spiritual attendance. He has left behind him a large and respected family of daughters and sons, all respected and worthy examples of their good father. A very large number of telegrams, letters and cards of sympathy were received by the widow and family.14

  • 25 May 1874: EXHUMATION OF A BODY.
    A curious case formed the subject of an inquiry by Mr Candler, district coroner, on Friday last, at Berwick. A young man named Michael O Neill had received a kick from another man in a public house, in November last and had been ill since, and died on the 7th inst and his medical attendant had re fused to give a certificate as to the cause of death. Constable Gleeson, stationed at Berwick, reported to the coroner that on the 9th inst, he informed the father of the deceased that an inquest would be held on his son's body on Monday, the 11th inst, at noon ; that the father said he would bury his son in defiance of the coroner and the police, and that at about 8 o'clock on the same (Saturday) evening he (the constable) was informed that Mr Grant, undertaker, had a certificate to bury the deceased. The constable further reported that he found that this was the case, and taking the certificate to Mr Brisbane, deputy registrar, asked him if he had given it. Mr Brisbane said he had. The constable told him there was to be an inquest on Monday, and asked if the certificate could be cancelled by him. Mr Brisbane said he would not cancel it, that he was perfectly justified in giving it. The constable re turned the certificate to Mr Grant and the de ceased was buried at 3 o'clock on Sunday.
    The coroner was communicated with, and on the facts being submitted to the Attorney General, the exhumation of the body was ordered, and the police, having received the licence, caused the body to be exhumed. The inquest was to have been held on the 15th inst, but in consequence of Constable Glee son being engaged at the Supreme Court, it did not take place till the 22nd inst, Friday last. At the inquiry,
    Wm Sanderson, groom at the Gipps Land Hotel, Berwick, stated, —I knew the deceased, Michael O Neill, and I know Robert Clarke, now present. Some time in November they were in the kitchen of the hotel, and there was a little bit of a scuffle between Clarke, a person named Webb, and myself. Deceased was sitting on a stool. I fell in some way. I cannot say how. I put Clarke outside and he went away, and deceased went. There was a fire, but no candle in the place. Clarke was scuffling first with Webb, and got knocked down. He said his ribs were broken. I did not see the deceased interfere in any way. He was the last to leave the kitchen. He bade me good night, and did not complain at all, and said nothing about having been kicked. I could not tell the cause of quarrel between Clarke and Webb. They were not quarrelling in reality, but only wrestling. While I was on the ground, I re- ceived a blow on the head, but I cannot say whether from a fist or foot, from Clarke. I called out not to kick a man down. I did not see the deceased struck or hurt. He did not complain. There was no ill will between Clarke and me. Clarke had the doctor, and was laid up.
    Constable Gleeson deposed to arresting Robert Clarke on a charge of unlawfully as saulting the deceased. He made no resist ance, and, after he had been cautioned, he said he did not remember kicking the de ceased. He was very sorry for what had taken place, and if it did so happen that he did kick him he did not do it intentionally, as he was not sober at the time. He also said that he and deceased were good friends previously and afterwards; that Webb and he (Clarke) and Bill, the groom, had a quarrel, that Bill had put him out of the kitchen and that he went in again ; that he remembered Bill being on the ground, but whether he knocked him down or not he could not say.
    Peter O'Neill, farmer at Pakenham, said: - the deceased was my son aged 25 years. He was in good health. I heard nothing about his having received any injury until January last, when he went to the Alfred Hospital. He lived in my house but he said nothing to me about having been injured. Three weeks or a month before this he was unable to go to his work He returned home from the Alfred Hospital nearly nine weeks before he died. He remained in bed from that time except two hours or so occasionally, until he died on the 7th inst. Dr Elmes attended to him. He came to see him occa sionally. I know Robert Clarke now present. I do not know that there was any ill will between deceased and Clarke. I was present when my son made the dying declaration, now produced before Mr Wilson, justice of the peace. Robert Clarke was not present.
    The declaration produced was as follows - "March 11, 1871 I, Michael O'Neill believing that I am in danger of death, make the following statement -I was at Mr Souter's Gipps Land Hotel on Saturday night, about the middle of November last past. Tom Webb, Bill, the groom and Clarke were there also. Tom Webb and Clarke commenced to fight. They had all been drinking, but were not drunk. After a time Bill the groom put Clarke out. Clarke rushed in, saying, "You — , you kicked me outside," and he knocked Bill down. He was then proceeding to kick Bill, when I in terfered to protect him, and received the kick intended for Bill in my left groin. I do not think Clarke had any bad feeling against me. About four days after I began to get ill, and I make this declaration fearing that I am about to die. - MICHAEL O'NEILL."
    Thomas Elmes, surgeon, said that on the 9th March last, he saw deceased, and found in his left groin a diffused internal abscess, which had been opened and closed over apparently some time before. There was no external appearance of a bruise. Deceased got worse, and was occasionally delirious and there was a continual discharge from the abscess till the 7th inst, when the man died. In witness's opinion he died from the effects of the abscess in the groin. There were bedsores but he did not think they were the cause of death. It was not likely an abscess should occur in the position this was in from natural causes. It might be caused by a kick, or direct blow, or by a strain, and deceased might have been able to go about for a short time after receiving the injury. In witness's opinion if the abscess had been attended to by a medical man when it first formed, and had been opened, the subsequent mischief might have been prevented. The matter escaped into the peritoneum, whereas had it been allowed to make its exit externally, there would have been no further mischief probably. Recollected attending Robert Clarke for two broken ribs about the latter end of November last.
    Dr Neild who had made a post mortem elimination of the body stated that on the left side extending from the upper part of the psoas muscle to the lower third of the thigh was the cavilty of a large abscess. It took in the hip joint the bones of which were black and bare of cartilage. The cause of death was exhaustion from the huge abscess. All the organs were structurally healthy. Such an abscess might be the result of a kick. It might have done well if opened shortly after forming.
    The jury found that the deceased died of exhaustion from an abscess in the groin and that his death was the result of his own neglect in not procuring timely medical aid.
  • 26 May 1874: In connexion with the inquest held last Friday at Berwick, on the body of Michael O'Neill, which was exhumed for that purpose, there are some points of interest as regards the duties of local registrars in sanctioning an interment without sufficient authority. The ordinary practice is for those officials to register the death on the production by the friends of the deceased of the medical certificate stating the cause of death. In the case of O Neill, Dr Elmes very properly refused to give a certificate, inasmuch as the death had been indirectly occasioned by violence, and therefore an inquiry was requisite. Notwith standing the absence of the certificate, and although the police informed the registrar that proper notice had been given to the coroner, whose decision was awaited, the death was registered and the body buried. Such a proceeding was no doubt highly improper, under the circumstances, and it is probable that the conduct of the registrar will furnish the subject for an investigation in the proper quarter. At the same time, it may be well to bear in mind that, notwithstanding the prevalent impression that it is obligatory upon registrars to demand a medical certificate before registering a death, there is really no obligation of the kind, and that they may take an assurance from a non medical person that death has come about in the ordinary course of nature. So far, therefore, as being legally in the light is concerned, the Berwick registrar may be easy in his mind. It was bad judgement on his part to disregard the protest of the police against the burial, but as to the imperativeness or otherwise of medical testimony as a warrant for his conduct, he had obviously informed himself. The case, however, is exactly of the kind to show that what is now only a general practice, should be made to have the force of law. It is not that medical certificates are always sure to be correct, but they are more likely to be correct than most other testimony as to how a death has come about. Besides, if medical certificates of the causes of death may be disregarded at the option of survivors, it is easy to see how greatly the facilities will be increased for crime. We pointed out some weeks ago how, even supposing the indispensability of the medical certificate, it is not always possible to make sure that foul play has not been had recourse to, and on this part of the subject something more may require to be said at another time. Our present object, however, is to advocate the desirability of all deputy-registrars being obliged to demand the certificate before registration. If this duty can be made imperative by a general order from the registrar-general, it had best be done at once. If, however, it requires an act of Parliament to enforce it, the importance of such an enactment should be sufficient reason for not delaying its accomplishment longer than can be avoided.11

    'Villa Maria' HISTORY
    This farm complex which includes a 1915 residence built as St Vincent's Convalescence Home contains buildings from its earliest ownership by the O'Neill family, district pioneer settlers. (1)
    A search of land files showed that the site was once on the Panty Gurn Gurn pastoral run. In 1870, C.F. Henry, lessee of that run requested that Crown Allotments 34 (the site of Villa Maria] and 35 should be excluded from selection because, with the homestead, were all that remained of the run. However, he later withdrew his demand, feeling it might hold up development of the area. (2)
    Michael O'Neill, a Berwick farmer, who leased the Villa Maria site from 1870, built a lathe and plaster, wood and thatch cottage there valued at £12 and grew oats. He transferred the property to his brother, John O'Neill, in 1874. The Crown Grant was issued to John O'Neill exec. Michael O'Neill died in November 1880 (3) [sic] - he died in May 1874. Reputedly, after their death, the O'Neills bequeathed the property to the Sisters of Charity. [sic] it was their sister Elizabeth Savage who willed the remainder of CA 34 to the church.
    It was announced in the Catholic press in February 1915 that a Beaconsfield site had been purchased by St Vincent's Hospital for a 'home for the poor who, after leaving St Vincent's Hospital, require some rest to enable them to regain strength to work for themselves and those dependent on them; 'It was to be run by the Sisters of Charity at Beaconsfield, and would be ready for patients on March 1, 1915. The site contained '100 acres of good land.' (4)
    The name, Villa Maria, was given to the property, although it was also advertised as St. Vincent's Rest Home. A photograph of the house was included in an advertisement of 20 February. The house was described as 'A veritable bush retreat, without the drawbacks of bush life, recently erected' and offered 'fresh air, fresh farm produce, and delightful surroundings.' Indeed, 'Open-Air-Treatment (was) a Speciality.' (5)
    It was reported in August 1915, that 86 patients had received treatment at the home, which was especially intended for women and children. (6) However, in October 1916, it was decided to close the house as a convalescent home as it was 'too far removed from the city.' Instead it was to be opened by Miss Ethel Roper as 'Villa Maria', a 'paying guest' house. (7)
    In the 1960s, Villa Maria was sold to Alexander Sydney Thomas and Rose Gladys Irvine and run as a rest home. Cardinia Shire Valuer's records confirm that by this time the four-acre property contained a large Rest Home and a smaller house. After a legal battle, the property was re-named Villa Mar, its present name for use as a Pensioner Rest Home.

    DESCRIPTION
    This is a Federation Bungalow styled farm house sited at the top of a hill and concealed by a mature garden and trees reached by a long drive from a picketed entrance (round-head).

  • 13 Jan 1892: ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, DANDENONG. The necessity of a more commodious church has been a recognised fact among the members of the Roman Catholic faith in this district for sometime past, the old stone building being neither an ornamental or convenient edifice. Almost from the time of its erection it showed signs of faulty workmanship, a glaring error in construction being the subsidence of the foundations, which necessitated an additional expenditure, over first cost of about £300 To extend a building with defective foundations was not to be thought of, and it was decided, and wisely so, to raze the building and erect a church more in accordance with the requirements of the congregation. For some time the services of the denomination have been held in the Agricultural Hall, during the building of the new church, a handsome structure, which occupies one of the best positions in the town, and of which our Roman Catholic friends may be justly proud. The total cost of the church (St. Mary's) is said to be about £2200, but thanks to the liberality of the congregation and friends, the debt has been reduced to £1200, which is a very creditable result. The build ing is of brick, and Gothic in style, the main entrance being from Langhorne street. A roomy porch first claims one's attention, and three fold ing doors provide means of ingress to the nave, the dimensions of which are 60ft x 34ft, with walls 20ft high, and roof another 20ft. On the walls are hung 14 pictures illustrative of scenes during the Crucifixion, and the nave is estimated to seat 350 persons. The chancel is 14ft x 20ft., and the stained-glass window in this portion of the building is a beautiful delineation of the Annunciation-the angel's salu tation of the Virgin Mary. This window is said to have cost £150, and was presented to the church authorities by Mrs. Edward Savage, of Berwick. Miss O'Connor, of Berwick, has furnished the church with an altar, valued at £70, whilst Mrs. Reardon, also of Berwick, has generously provided sufficient Brussels carpet for the altar steps aid sacristy. The chancel also contains statues of the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph. From here we move to the sacristy, 20ft. x 15ft., where the church vestments are kept. Returning to the nave the gallery at once attracts attention; it is capable of seating 100 persons, and is occupied by the choir. The stairs leading up to the galleiry are temporary ones of wood, but these will be replaced with an iron staircase which is to be sent out from England. The inside of the church presents an attractive appearance, and we have the assurance that the struc ture has been well and faithfully built. As a preventive against damp the walls, 20in. thick, have been built hollow, and the ventilation of the church, a most important feature, has received careful consideration.46
  • 10 Jul 1895: Berwick Shire Council: From Mrs. E. Savage, asking for the sanction of the council to the alteration in name of Hughenden road to O'Neil road as far as it goes through her late brother's land.-Postponed.47

  • 11 Mar 1914: A fire broke out in the scrub in Cardinia Park on Sunday morning last and burned fiercely all day. Fortunately the spread of the fire was checked by a willing band of fire-fighters and no serious damage was done although the flames got dangerously close to the residences of Miss Willis and Mr Savage. Mr Cottell's haystacks also had a narrow escape. Part of the fencing between Mr Cottell's and Mr Robinson's and also a few pannels of the park fence were destroyed and some firewood owned by Messrs Pateman, Robinson and Aurisch was burned. The bridge over the creek near the Cardinia Hotel was slightly charred. Isabel Maud Willis, Harry Cottell13

He was born in 1819, and educated at Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities. He was formerly Major 4th Lanark Rifle Volunteers. He represented the City of Glasgow in the House of Commons from 1868 to 1885. On March 13th of the latter year he was appointed Deputy-Master of the Mint at Melbourne, in succession to Mr. V. D. Broughton (q.v.), a position he still holds.1 
Note* Mary Clavering Anderson. Thistle Anderson arrived in Australia as a young girl, when her father, George Anderson, who came from Glasgow to Melbourne in 1885 to be Deputy Master of the Mint. She 'entered the ballet' (Bulletin, 11 Aug. 1900), joining Nance O'Neil's touring company which J. C. Williamson brought to Adelaide in 1900 and appeared as the baroness in Fedora. Anderson travelled with the company through Australia and to New Zealand and London. In December 1901 she married (in London) Herbert Fisher, an Adelaide stockbroker.….2

Land-Note*28 Jul 1887 Beaconsfield Station. To Secretary of Lands. Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge your favour of 25th inst. and am sorry if my inexperience has led to any irregularity.
Mr Archd D Hunter acting for me was informed at your office that the piece of land which had been selected by J R Wilson, would be open for application as soon as it was actually gazetted "forfeited".
That was done in the Gazette of the 8th July and on the 11th I sent in an application for it, but I included in the application "any other available land within half a mile of Mr Hunters Block "42" and not exceeding (along with Wilsons) 1,000 acres.
Am I to understand that your letter, saying I had applied before the land was available, refers both to Wilsons lot and to the additional or only to the latter? May I ask also what is the extent of block G which you tell me to make a new application for? Does it include Wilsons land only, or does it extend over other land in the neighbourhood of Mr Hunters lot no 42?
The favour of your reply will much oblige me. I have the honor to be your most obedient servant. George Anderson.6

Land-Note18 Jun 1891 GEM--142P. Beaconsfield Station P. O. To the Secretary of Lands. Re Block "Q" Gembrook. Sir, I have the honour to request an extension of ime for fencing the above 167 acres, on which there is still much work to be done, while my three years time expires at 30th June. I would need three months from that date before which time expired I believe I can have it completed. Your most obedient servant George Anderson.6 
Land-Note12 Oct 1891 GEM--142P. East Melbourne. I beg to report having made the following improvements on block No. Parish Gembrook under 32 Section (Geo Anderson)
Cut undergrowth on ten acres (more or less); Picked up and stacked fallen timber ready for burning on ten acres (more or less); Rung trees on five acres (more or less); Sewn grass seed following proportions - 7 1/2 bushels Bush Rye Grass - 40 bls Cocksfoot - 10 bls White Clover over an area of ten acres (more or less); All the undergrowth cut below the ground so that it is effectually killed.
I regret to inform you that owing to severe illness I had to come to town for medical advice leaving work incomplete; but I will return when recovered. Yours respectfully W R Hardie
(improvements said to be worth about £60.)15 
Land-Note12 Oct 1891 GEM--142P. Beaconsfield Station P. O. To the Secretary of Lands. Sir, In reply to your letter of 8th inst Corr No 8 4026/32. I beg to enclose you report from the contractor who entered into an agreement to carry out the improvements on my land. I trust under the circumstances the cause of the delay will be considered satisfactory - Of course, the man will return to complete the moment he has the Doctor's permission to resume work. Having entered into a contract I had to rely upon him entirely.
My agent in town will wait upon you and show you the other tenders for further improvements which are being proceeded with.
As you are aware the ground is difficult of access especially during the winter months.
I purpose making a very careful inspection of the whole block on Saturday first after which I will communicate with you further. George Anderson.15

Land-Note25 Oct 1891 GEM--142P. Mount Grand View. Beaconsfield, 25 Oct 1891. The Secretary of Lands. Sir, Following up the interview my agent had with you today, when he explained what had been done on the land held under 32 Sect Parish of Gembrook. I regret that the Contractor who took the improvements in hand should have taken ill before the completion of the contract. As he is still unable to resume work I am compelled to make fresh arrangements - and I am negotiating now - Meanwhile Mr James Moore of the Princes Bridge Timber Yard has undertaken to have the house which I have ordered built in Sections on the ground within one week or 10 days at latest. On this being placed in position, I will select the portion which I purpose confining my improvements to and push along with same with the least possible delay. Of course, the wet weather has hitherto greatly interfered with the work. I shall as soon as I have completed request your Bailiff to meet me on the ground and show him what has been done - the place is so out of the way that he would not easily be able to inspect and report on same without having the assistance of my representative.
One great drawback has been the first difficulty in finding accommodation for the men : but this will now be abrated.
May I ask you under all circumstances to give me a further extension of say one month?
George Anderson.15
Land-Note25 Nov 1891 GEM--142P. Mount Grand View near Beaconsfield Railway Station. Nov 25th 1891. The Secretary for Lands Melbourne. Sir, I have the honor to state in reply to your letter of 8th ultimo Corr No 4026/32 that the house built in sections in Melbourne has been forwarded per rail thence per bullock teams to the ground at Gembrook. Unfortunately the last heavy rains washed away the crossings over two of the creeks leading to the site on which I purposed erecting same. Consequently I shall have to select a site on this side. I may further mention that the road leading to the property is still unfinished, which is a great disadvantage. The Shire Council speak of continuing some improvements which have already been decided upon and commenced on the road leading to my ground, but it is very uncertain when these will be sufficiently far advanced to be of any service.
Owing to the out-of-the-way position of the block and the constant risk of bush fires, which have hitherto destroyed so much fencing in the district, the present intention is to enclose a piece of ground round the house and extend the improvement from time to time as may be deemed expedient.
Now that the house is available and the dry season has set in better progress can be made. The man who lately undertook the clearing of the undergrowth, sowing of the grass and ringing of the trees &c. had to walk several miles daily no accommodation being nearby.
My representative who was on the ground a few days ago will call and go further with detail. Meanwhile ... George Anderson.15

Sir, Herewith you will find receipt from the Railway Department shewing that the house to be erected on my block of land at Gembrook held under the 32nd Section has been duly forwarded. The man I hoped to arrange with for the erection has been called away to do some work for the Shire Council, but I hope to secure the services of another contractor on an early day and will advise you when completed ...

  • 13 Apr 1885: Master of Melbourne Mint.
    London, April. 11. — Mr. George Anderson, formerly M.P. for Glasgow, who has been appointed Master of the Melbourne Mint, will take his departure for Melbourne on May 7.34
  • 1 Jun 1885: Mr George Anderson, Ex M.P.
    It has fallen to the lot of few private members of the House of Commons to be so successful in promoting useful legislation, as Mr George Anderson, late Liberal Member for Glasgow, and now on his way to Melbourne to take the position of Master of the mint there. Mr Anderson's retirement from political life is caused by financial reverses. At a farewell meeting with his Glasgow Parliamentary committee he said that he had seen that day the electoral address he had put out in the summer of 1868, on the occasion of his first contest. The first item of that address advocated the assimilation of the country and burgh franchise. Now, after 17 years, they were in a position of just having achieved it. He claimed that Scotland was insufficiently represented. Now they were about to have that remedied. He condemned the three - cornered system of voting. That was a thing of the past. He advocated the ballot. That they had gained long ago. He advocated the putting down of corrupt practices at elections —canvassing and such like— so that these, now that there had been two different Acts of Parliament, have been effectually put down. He considered that in his belief national education was the greatest question of the day. They had done a good deal for national education since that time, but he admitted that more remained still to be done. But it was in a fair way of being done. He considered that to be effectual it would be necessary that primary education should be compulsory. It was so now. He condemned all monopolies, but especially the monopoly of the bank charter. That, he was sorry to say, remained still for more legislation to deal with. He, spoke of the unjust disabilities under which the working-classes labored in trades unions being illegal and otherwise. The president of the Council (Mr Grant) knew how that had been obviated. He spoke of improved land tenure. Something had been done for that. He advocated the abolition of primogeniture and entail. Entail had been somewhat modified, but it had not been abolished so completely as he hoped it would yet be, Primogeniture still remained one of the abuses of the statute book. He advocated reforms in the army and navy. They had had since purchase in the army abolished, and the country had got possession of her own army, and there had been other reforms of various kinds, but much remained to be done in that direction. He advocated retrenchment, but that, alas, had gone altogether. It remained for a happier day and for some more fortunate legislator to bring that about. He advocated the encouragement of the volunteer force as the cheapest and best system of national defence. They knew what had been done for the volunteer force, and how it had prospered since then. He advocated the disestablishment of the Irish Church; and he said, finally, that he would act with the great Liberal party, but he would follow no man slavishly. Let them look back at the principal reforms that had been gained, and ask themselves who gave them, and which party gained them for them, and which party refused and resisted them to the utmost. The answer must be, the liberal party fought for them, and gained them, and the Conservative party refused them, and resisted them and they had in force them to give in. (Cheers.) Was not that a good reason for them to look forward to what they might do in the future by adhering closely to their Liberalism.35
  • 27 Jul 1885: MR. GEORGE ANDERSON, MASTER OF THE MELBOURNE MINT. MR. GEORGE ANDERSON, the newly-appointed master of the Melbourne Mint, was born at Liverpool in 1819, and was for many years a merchant in Glasgow till his retire ment. He was elected for Glasgow in 1868, and has represented that city ever since. In politics he is an advanced Liberal, and has advocated the abolition of the laws of entail. He has published pamphlets on 'Arrestment of Wages,' 'National Education,' 'The Currency,' &c.36
  • 1 Sep 1894: MR. GEORGE ANDERSON'S POEMS.
    We have received from Messrs. Melville, Mullen, and Slade a volume entitled The Agnostic and Other Poems, by Mr. George Anderson, the deputy-master of the Mint, Melbourne, the publisher being Mr. Alexander Gardner, of Paisley and London. Some of the pieces were evidently composed in the writer's younger days, as they date back to the time of the Crimean War and even earlier, while others are the work of recent years. The longest piece, the "Agnostic," is an argumentative poem in blank verse something in the style of Wordsworth's " Excursion," of which it at times reminds us. It deals with the great doctrines of religion, especially the belief in a future life; and the writer shows a good deal of skill in putting his arguments into logical and yet poetical form. He thus states the difficulty in the way of believing in the resurrection of the body arising from the fact that the dust of the earth must in the course of ages have formed parts of many human beings:—
    " The mortal dust which died, and may have died
    In previous men ten thousand times before,
    Becomes henceforth immortal as the soul.
    But in that mighty fathering, who shall say
    To whom each particle of dust belongs ?
    Each having 'in its time played many parts';
    At one time scattered by the playful winds,
    Or at another by the ocean waves;
    Sometimes an atom in a poet's brain,
    Or in a hero's arm or lady's eye,
    At others part of bird or beast or fish,
    Then back to man again in ceaselees round ;
    Now in a bad man, therefore with him doomed
    To spend eternity in pains of hell;
    Then in a good man, and in him assured
    Of endless happiness in realms of bliss."
    The poem is in the form of a dialogue be tween the agnostic Gerald and his cousin Edith, who does her best to answer his ob jections. The shorter poems are in rhyme, and show considerable command of language and versification, while the ideas are those of a man who has both read and thought much on many subjects. The influence of other poets is now and then perceptible, but it would be a mistake to suppose that Mr. Anderson has not a distinctive note of his own. He writes in a straightforward and unaffected manner, shunning alike obscurity of expres sion, "preciosity" of language, and mere jingle, which are the prevailing faults of so many verse-writers of our time. The following stanza from "Blackford Hill, Edinburgh," may be taken as a fair specimen of Mr. Anderson's descriptive manner and versification:—
    "Fair sunny Blackford! On thy furse-clad hill
    The golden primrose may be brightly springing
    As it was wont to do, and haply still,
    The lark and linnet are their vespers singing,
    Or tuneful blackbird wakes the woods at will;
    While faintly on the ear the chimes are ringing
    From far-off city bells, when parting day
    Purples the peaceful earth, as sunlight dies away."37
  • 7 Nov 1896: MR. GEORGE ANDERSON.
    The death is announced of Mr. George Anderson, deputy master of the Melbourne Mint, which took place at his residence on November 5. Mr. Anderson, whose age was 77 years, was a son of Mr. George Anderson, of Luscar, Fifeshire, Scotland, and was educated at Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities. He was for some years greatly interested in the volunteer movement, and as an officer in the 4th Lanark rifles reached the rank of major. In 1838 he was elected a member of the British House of Commons for the city of Glasgow, and was returned by that constituency until 1885, when he was appointed to the position of deputy master of the Melbourne Mint, in which he succeeded the late Mr. V. Delves Broughton. During his eleven years' residence in Melbourne Mr. Anderson, whose seventeen years' experience in the Commons had apparently satisfied his keenness in public affairs, lived very quietly, the change in his tastes being indicated by the publication a few years ago of a volume of poems, which was favourably reviewed in the literary columns of "The Australasian'' and other journals.38
  • 21 Dec 1901: The society journals contain the interesting announcement that a marriage will take place on December 16, between Herbert Stanley Fisher, third son of Mr. Charles Fisher, of Parkholme, and Mary Clavering Anderson, only daughter of the late Colonel George Anderson. ex-M.P. for Glasgow, and niece of the late Sir Henry Clavering, of Axwell Park, Durham. The rendezvous for December 16 is not disclosed. Mary Clavering Anderson39
