    Dear Cinderella,—We live in Beaconsfield, it is noted for the wild scenery, the ranges, and the beautiful fern gullies. The wild flowers are also very pretty especially, in the spring when the country is covered with the pink and white heath. It is so nice to see the Robin Red-breast hopping about, and the thrushes singing, and ever so many other birds singing too. We live close to one of the mountains called the Sugar Loaf. Nearly all the people grow fruit; and the Beaconsfield apples are noted for being so juicy.
    We have a show once a year, and among the exhibits, there was a pumpkin weighing forty-seven pounds ; so that we can grow good vegetables up here too ; and Cinderella ! If ever you want a trip to the country, I will be glad to show you all the things which I have spoken about. I remain Your affect. friend

  • 2 Nov 1892: BERWICK POLICE COURT. MONDAY, 31st OCTOBER. Before Major Bartrop, P.M., and James Wilson, Esq., J.P.
    Duncan Cameron v. John Milne, wilfully damaging property belonging to plaintiff.
    Mr. Little appeared on behalf of Cameron, and Mr Thomson for defendant. The complainant's statement set forth that defendant's cattle were continually straying into a paddock rented by plaintiff, owing to the fact that defendant had pulled the fences and gates down. The latter had been warned that the cattle would be impounded, but had taken no notice of the warning.
    Duncan Cameron deposed that Milne took away the gate and opened up the fence in his paddock so that defendant's cows got in ; the gate opened into witness's paddock from the main Gembrook road. Defendant also took down a notice board (notifying that trespassing stock would be impounded) from the paddock, and threw it out on the main road. Cross-examined by Mr. Thomson: Witness did not see the defendant take the board down, but defendant admitted to witness that he had done so.
    Hugh Cameron, son of plaintiff said that he knew the defendant. Remembered 14th October. Saw defendant in the Gembrook road on that day ; he was chopping down a gate leading from his (witness's) father's paddock into the main Gembrook road. Both John Milne and his son were destroying the gate, which they placed in a paddock owned by Milne. The gate broken down was in the line of a proposed road through the properties. The road was not at all well defined, there being on one side, only about 60 or 70 yards of fencing, which was used for yoking bullocks up in.
    Wm. Brisbane, agent and auctioneer, produced the agreement between the Beaconsfield Heights Estate and Duncan Cameron for the lease of the land in question (the whole of the property, except blocks 8 and 9). Witness was secretary for the company, and could say that the company did not give Milne any right to effect carriage way through the land.
    Cross-examined by Mr. Thomson : The company never leased the land to Milne. This concluded the case for the plaintiff.
    John Milne, licensee of the Cardinia Park Hotel, said he had always been under the impression that there was a road through the property. Witness put the gate up, and thought he had a right is to take it down.
    The Bench decided that they had no jurisdiction, and dismissed the case.
    Alex. Milne v. D. Cameron. The proceedings were taken under the 14th section of "Pound Act," 1890, and charged defendant with having illegally impounded certain cattle belonging to plaintiff. John Milne said that on the 14th October he and his son saw the defendant and some of his men driving about 20 head of witness's cattle from the paddock, and defendant said they were taking the cattle to the pound. Witness tendered the pound and trespass fees to defendant but he refused to accept that ; afterwards made another offer to defendant of the pound fees, but he again refused: the cattle were impounded in the name of Duncan Cameron, junr.
    Alex. Milne, informant, corroborated in the above evidence, and added that Cameron said to witness's father, when the latter offered the trespass fees, that he would not take the fees because he had given notice that he would impound all cattle.
    Jonathan Denny, contractor, gave evidence to the effect that he had witnessed Milne offer Duncan Cameron some money. The defence was that the statement of the plaintiff that he had offered the fees on the first occasion was false. Duncan Cameron, Senr., swore that plaintiff did not meet witness near the paddock from whence the cattle were taken, and only met him near the pound. Milne then offered the fees to witness, who said "give it to the man in charge of the cattle; I have nothing to do with the impounding." Milne said "you old ——, if you were in Ireland, you would be shot."
    Duncan Cameron, contractor, son of previous witness, deposed to taking the cattle out of the Beaconsfield Heights Estate paddock, and impounding them; witness's father was not present at the time, so the tender of the fees could not have been made to him. Witness was authorised by his father to impound cattle from the paddock.
    The Bench held that Duncan Cameron, junr., was only agent for defendant, and was not the proper person to impound cattle. Moreover, the Act bearing on the matter states that if the trespass fees are tendered to the person in charge of such cattle they must be accepted. Defendant was fined 5s; costs £3 13.
