Land-UBeac*20 Sep 1893 GEM--142B1. Transfer from Joseph Blumfield to Johann Carl Meckenstock. By 12 Sep 1899 Meckenstock is to be called before a local land board. Recommended that licence be revoked for non-compliance.3,4

Land-Note*2 Feb 1899 GEM--142B. Berwick Shire Council. Sir, With reference to Allotment 142B, 55 acres, Parish of Gembrook, now standing in the name of J.C. Mackinstock, I have the honor by direction to request that the block may be thrown open, the Council having reason to believe that Mackinstock who is in Western Australia, and has not paid any rates for over 2 years, has abandoned it. J C Hodgson Shire Secretary.7 
Land-Note10 Apr 1901 GEM--142B. To the Secretary for Lands, Melbourne. Sir, With regard to Allotments No 142B & 142B1, Parish of Gembrook, which had been licenced to me and which I had to give up through misfortune and inability to make a living on the land after trying hard for over two years, I hope at least, that I can recover some of my expenses. I paid on Survey Fees £4.15/- per Allotment, I also spend £6.10/- for clearing, besides the clearing and ring-barking I did myself. This improvements are of a permanent character and I surely should be allowed something for it. My arrears in rent can hardly be counted against me, as the so-called rent is practically purchase money, which has to be paid over again by the next selector.
If, on the other hand, there should be a chance for me, of keeping both blocks on the non-residence terms, till I am in a position to return to the land, I should only be too glad to do so. I am Sir, yours most respectfully, J C Meckenstock.
Department informs him that he is not entitled to any refund as there are no improvements, and that he owes rent. Advise that lease should be revoked and made available.8 
Land-Note21 May 1901 GEM--142B. To the Secretary for Lands, Melbourne. Sir, In answer to yours of the 26th ult. I was myself informed, when I was in Melbourne two months ago, by one of your officers, Mr Murphy I think is his name, that the improvements were valued at £7.10.0, which is much below the real value, as I had one acre cleared by Mr W. Care, who has a selection about a mile south of my allotments and from whom I can produce a receipt for £6.10.0. Then I cleared about an acre myself and bark-ringed over 20 acres. This are certainly more permanent improvements than any fencing or building would be. In survey fees I paid £9.10.0 for the two allotments; so I think I am entitled to a refund of my outlay or else, I should be allowed to keep the land and get more improvements done as a non residence selector. I am Sir yours most respectfully J C Meckenstock
Department advised that an incoming tenant would only be charged improvements which then exixt. As the conditions of the licence have not been complied with he cannot be granted the licence as desired.8

  • 26 Oct 1916: UPPER BEACONSFIELD. Under the auspices of the Women's National League, a meeting was held in the hall on Saturday night, to encourage and all-round vote of "Yes" be soundly returned on Saturday night. There was a great rally of the residents in fact the hall was filled to overflowing. Mrs A. V. Kirkwood, president of the league opened the proceedings, and at her desire, Mr W. J. Harvey Smith, J.P., occupied the chair. Mr Smith very briefly stated the very important object in view in calling the meeting which was to secure an all round support for the referendum, and he very earnestly appealed to all for personal and national credit to vote "yes." Mr Keast, M.L.A., was the principal speaker, and his appeal went home to the audience. So clearly did the audience show their decision to vote "yes" that on a show of hands all were united on voting in support of the Government. Mr Cloes, president of the shire, then after made a few remarks, urging all present to vote "yes" and to use their influence all round to the same effect. Sergeant E. Gardner, an "Anzac Hero," spoke of his experience in the trenches, and urged for yes in order that the boys should get a spell. It may be remarked that the only dissenting voices in the meeting were those of a man named Clements, who has a block here, and is now under orders to go into camp, and that of a sister a Mrs Clements, from Berwick, whom we are informed is the wife of Sergeant Clements, enlisting seargeant, whose head quarters are the town hall, Melbourne. The two of them were ejected at the outset of the proceedings for their unsatisfactory remarks by Constable Lombard. The usual vote of thanks to the speakers brought the meeting to a close.

    Report re 'GATEKEEPER AT CALIFORNIA CROSSING': 'The death occurred with some suddenness early on Sunday morning, of William Clements, aged 55, who lived at the Midland Railway Gate House, Midland Road, and had been employed by the Midland Railway Company as gatekeeper at the California Crossing. It appears, that deceased, who came off duty on Sunday morning at 6 o’clock, took a small flock bed up to the house of his daughter, Mrs. Amelia Clements, wife of Harry Clements, a bricklayer, living at 14 Sinope-Street. Deceased spoke to his daughter and carried the bed upstairs, when he left his daughter and went down to the sitting room. Mrs Clements heard some sound and called out, but got no answer. She hurried downstairs where she found her father, fallen over sideways on the couch. He was breathing stertorously, and died without recovering consciousness. Dr. Arnold Alcock was called, but was too late to be of any assistance. The facts have been reported to... William Clements26

    LAST THURSDAY, John William Penner, 18, a popular employee of James Hicks’ Brickworks at Officer, was killed in tragic circumstances in Station St., Officer, when he fell under the wheels of a heavily laden truck.
    The accident happened at about 1.20 p.m., when deceased's foot apparently slipped as he jumped from the running board of one of the firm’s trucks, and the wheels passed over him.
    Bill, as he was known to all, had been riding on the running board, and the truck had slowed down to let him off. He received serious injuries, and after treatment by Dr. Percy Langmore, was rushed to the Alfred Hospital, where he passed away at about 10.40 p.m. the same evening.
    Always cheerful and friendly, the late Bill Penner is deeply mourned by a wide circle of sincere friends. There was a large crowd at the grave-side when his remains were interred in the Berwick Cemetery on Monday last. Rev. W. P. Daunt conducted the service. William John Penner32

It appears, that deceased, who came off duty on Sunday morning at 6 o’clock, took a small flock bed up to the house of his daughter, Mrs. Amelia Clements, wife of Harry Clements, a bricklayer, living at 14 Sinope-Street. Deceased spoke to his daughter and carried the bed upstairs, when he left his daughter and went down to the sitting room. Mrs Clements heard some sound and called out, but got no answer. She hurried downstairs where she found her father, fallen over sideways on the couch. He was breathing stertorously, and died without recovering consciousness. Dr. Arnold Alcock was called, but was too late to be of any assistance. The facts have been reported to... Amelia Elizabeth Clements5

  • 27 Oct 1905: MR JAMES PEELE. The ranks of the artistic profession were thinned to-day by the death, from a paralytic stroke, of Mr James Peele, ths well-known New Zealand artist, at the age of fifty-nine, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr H. E. Hargreaves, New Brighton. Mr Peele was a native of Geelong, where his father was a pioneer settler, and, having seen something of the roving life of a young colonial, settled down tb banking in Adelaide, and by degrees advanced in that profession, till he subsequently joined the staff of the Bank of New Zealand in Invercargill, where he married. He rose by degrees through the various stages of the bank, till he became branch manager at Rangiora, where he remained for many years. Subsequently he removed to Amberley, where, owing to increasing deafness, he resigned from the bank on a pension. He then took up painting, as a profession, and removed to Melbourne, where he followed it with great success, winning the first prize and gold medal of the Victorian Society of Arts with his famous picture of the Otira Gorge, since then the property of the Society. He followed this course of teaching and painting with great success till his health began to fail him, three years ago, when he took up his abode permanently with his daughter and son-in-law here. Some of his works have been secured by the Canterbury Society of Arts, and are hung in the permanent gallery. Mr Peele was a Freemason, having' joined the Ashley Masonic Lodge in 1883. His funeral will take place at Linwood Cemetery to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon.7
