  • 21 Aug 1897: A HUSBAND PROVIDER. THE WIDOW AND THE MATRIMONIAL AGENT. MR JUSTICE a'BECKETT MAKES A SUGGESTION.
    In the Supreme Court yesterday, Mr. Justice a'Beckett continued the hearing of the action brought by Helen Riddock, widow of the late James Taylor Riddock, against Annie Holt, of Holt's Matrimonial Agency, to obtain a declaration that a transfer of plaintiffs interest in her mother's will, made to defendant, was by way of security only, although absolute in form. Plaintiff alleged that the property, which was worth about £1500, was transferred by way of security for a loan of £17, and that defendant had since contended that it was an absolute assignment. The defence was that it was an absolute assignment, but that by the deed Mrs. Riddock reserved for herself the right to receive the income from the estate during her lifetime. Mr. Hayes and Mr. Agg, instructed by Mr, H. S. M. Evans, appeared for plaintiff ; and Mr. Weigall, instructed by Mr. H. S. Martin, for defendant Annie Holt, the defendant, under cross-examination by Mr. Hayes, said that when defendant called at the agency in search of a husband she learned something of her position. They never introduced a lady with means to a gentleman unless he was in a similar or better position. Some months after meeting her, plaintiff spoke of leaving her property to her at her death, saying that otherwise the Crown would only have it. Witness was not benefited by the deed, except in the event of the plaintiff's death, and that might not happen for 20 to 30 years. Mr. Hayes : You were a witness in a case in which a man was tried for bigamy ? — Yes. His defence was that he was drunk when he was married at your agency? — Yes; but he has since said he was sober. He was sober. The jury disbelieved your statement? — They found the man not guilty. Was be married at your agency by the Rev. Mr. South? — No ; by a Presbyterian minister. You employ a number of clergymen to cele brate marriages at your establishment ? — Yes; we have done so for years. Has Mr. South celebrated marriages there ? — Yes. George Frederick South, Church of England clergyman, residing at Upper Beaconsfield, gave evidence that he witnessed a letter signed by Mrs. Riddock in which she acknowledged that there had not been any coercion. He read it through to her carefully, and she said she meant every word that was in it. She said Mrs. Holt had been very kind to her ; that she was a lonely woman, and that the transfer was her own suggestion. He had not celebrated any marriages at the agency since the end of June last. Cross-examined by Mr. Hayes: He was not attached to any parish. He had been stricken with paralysis, and could not stand the wear and tear at present. To Mr. Weigall : He had a private residence at Beaconsfield. This closed the evidence. Mr. Justice a'Beckett said he proposed to state what were his impressions in regard to the case, subject to what might be said by counsel. He thought that when plaintiff signed the deed she was a weak, foolish woman, who would be very easily imposed on by anyone. He was satisfied, however, from the evidence given by Mrs. Riddock herself that no fraud bad been perpetrated on her. Plaintiff must cither be a most forgetful or foolish woman or she had wilfully misrepresented the facts, and he did not think she had done that. There could be no doubt that she had signed the letter admitting that there was no coercion, and that she was aware of her position. Had she asked to be relieved of the deed as having been executed by a person in impoverished circumstances and without advice, she having been in fluenced by the more powerful mind of the defendant, and having been led to make a preposterously foolish bargain, she would undoubtedly have had a very strong case. He had a proposal to make which he thought it would be prudont for defendant to accept. It was that the charge of fraud should be with drawn by consent, and an order made that the Administrator-General of Bengal should realise the property belonging to Mrs. Riddock and transmit the result to the Master in Equity in Victoria. Then out of the money so realised Mrs. Holt should be fully indemnified in respect of the costs of this action : she should have the £25 given in consideration of the transfer returned to her, with interest, and be allowed the expenses of pre paring the deed as well as something to recoup her for the loss and inconvenience to which she had been subjected. He had such an opinion of the mental capacity of the plaintiff, so far as her capacity to manage her affairs was concerned, that he would direct that she should not receive the money except on personal application to the Master in Equity. Mrs. Holt ought to have put the foolish lady into communication with some really disin terested adviser. The bargain which plaintiff had made was of a most monstrous character. She was ready to give away valuable property for a few pounds in order to obtain relief from temporary embarrassment. The money realised from the property might be employed to purchase her a life annuity. She was to some extent answerable for her case having been presented in the aspect which it had by failing to give her solicitor that full information which she should have afforded him. The inducement to defen dant to agree to the proposal he had made was that there would be no further litigation, and it was possible, to say the least of it, that further litigation would be successful. Mr. Weigall said that he had witnesses to show that there was no undue influence. Thinking them unnecessary, he had sent them away in order to avoid additional costs. They would have shown that the plaintiff was a shrewd woman throughout. Mr. Justice a'Beckett said that in order to allow the parties time to consider his suggestion he would let the matter stand over until Monday next.19
  • 24 Aug 1897: AN OLD FRIEND.— Giving evidence on Friday in the Supreme Court, Melbourne, in the case in which Mrs. Holt, of Holt’s matrimonial agency, was sued for getting £1500 worth of property out of a female client for a loan of £16 or £17, was the Rev. George Frederick South, clergyman of the Church of England. He described himself as now residing at Upper Beaconsfield. He said that he was at Mrs. Holt’s to make certain inquiries on behalf of a clergyman in England. He had celebrated marriages at the establishment, the last occasion being the end of June. He was asked by Mrs Holt if he would witness the signing of a document. He read the document through to himself, then he handed it to Mrs. Riddock (the woman who disposed of the property in question) to read. She apparently read it, said the rev. gentleman. He asked Mrs. Riddock if she meant what was in the letter, and she said, “Every word of it.” She volunteered that Mrs. Holt had been very kind to her, that she was a lone woman, that it was entirely her own doing, and that Mrs. Holt had not suggested it. He had not since been employed at the premises, but had called there. Mr. Hayes : Are you employed at Beaconsfield? Witness : I am living there. I have been very ill.—When did you last officiate at a church? Not very long back at my old parish at the Danish settlement.— Where is that? At South Gippsland.—You are not attached to any parish? No, I have been stricken with paralysis and could not stand the wear and tear at present.—Mr. Weigall : You were of independent means? Witness : Yes.— And you have a private residence at Beaconsfield? Yes.20

  • 5 Jul 1884: SUICIDE AT NORTH CARL TON.
    ON Thursday afternoon the City Coroner held an inquest at the Brandon Hotel, corner of Station and Lee streets North Carlton, touching the death of Thomas Senior Ethridge, who was found dead in his bed, at his residence in Lee-street, on Wednesday morning.
    The first witness called was Bessie Etheridge, who deposed as follows: "The deceased was my husband, and I am the mother of his five children. He was forty-six years of age, and had been a bank manager but was lately employed as an accountant. He was in fair circumstances and wanted for nothing. On Tuesday evening he was quite well and quite cheerful. He went, to bed about half-past-nine o'clock, and I did not see him or hear him during the night. At eight o'clock yesterday went to his room to call him to his breakfast. I found him in his bed undressed. He was dead and cold. He was not in any trouble that I am aware of. There was no domestic quarrel. He always preferred sleeping by himself, as he said the children disturbed him. The room was not disturbed in any way. I did not know of his having any poison in the house or in his possession."
    Dr. Snowball sworn :-"I made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased. I found no marks of violence. The mouth was half open, but there was no foam. The brain and membranes were healthy, but there was tubercular disease just commencing in the right lung. The heart was firm and quite healthy. The stomach was intensely congested externally, and inside the lining membrane was considerably softened. In the stomach there was a large quantity of red-looking fluid, without any characteristic smell. The red fluid extended down the intestines several feet. The other organs were congested but were otherwise healthy. Death was caused by some irritent poison."
    The Coroner :-"Is it your opinion that he suffered great pain?"
    Dr. Snowball :-"Yes, he must have suffered great agony.'
    The Coroner :- "Do you think he would have called out if he did not know the cause of the pain he was suffering ?"
    Dr. Snowball :-" Yes, I certainly think he would."
    In answer to another question Dr. Snowball said :-I could not detect any crystals of poison."
    Michael O'Heare, sworn, "I am a Sergeant of Police, stationed at North Fitzroy. The death of the deceased was reported to me yesterday forenoon. I went at once to the house and found that the room was not disturbed in any way. I searched for a bottle or paper that might have contained poison but found nothing whatever, and I made inquiries at all the chemists' shops but could gain nothing."
    The Coroner, " Why did you make these inquiries ?"
    Witness, " Because I was present at the post mortem examination."
    The foreman of the jury, Mr. Charles Fuller, "I would like to ask the sergeant what is contained in that bottle that he has been carrying about with him."
    The Coroner, "It is the contents of the deceased stomach, and it is for the jury to say Do they wish to have the fluid analysed. 'There can be no doubt but that death was caused by some irritent poison, but what the particular poison was, can only be ascertained by analysis. The strong point in the case in favor of the conclusion that the deceased poisoned himself is his not calling out during the time that he was suffering intense agony. He must have suffered such agony for about two hours."
    A juror, "If he poisoned himself, or intended to poison himself, he would scarcely be so cheerful."
    The Coroner, "Persons commit suicide under all manner of circumstances. Only a few days ago I held an inquest upon the body of a man who partook of a hearty supper with some friends. He was quite pleasant and jolly during the evening, and then went and put an end to his existence."
    After some further remarks from the Coroner, the jury returned the following verdict "We find that at North Carlton, on the 2nd July, the deceased, Thomas Senior Ethridge, poisoned himself with some virulent poison, but there is not sufficient evidence to show his state of mind at the time."2

  • 12 Jan 1859: THISTLES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS.
    Sir,-As a well-known friend of the farmer, I hope you will afford me space in the columns of The Argus, to expose a gross inconsistency on the part of the responsible authorities, whoever they may be, and one materially affecting the interests of farmers generally.
    Adjoining the township of Wallan Wallan, and fronting M'Leod's Hotel, there is a reserve of 80 acres literally covered with thistles. I and all landowners had notices recently served upon us, to eradicate the thistles on our grounds, and I believe a neighbor has been already summoned for not complying with said order.
    Now, Sir, I have done this duty for the last three years ; but what have the authorities done ? They have never eradicated one thistle on the township or reserves as yet. The consequence is, that there is no district in the oolony where thistles aro so rapidly spreading, to the great injury of our crops. Why should the authorities compel us to do what they wont do themselves? And even if we do it, our work is useless, while we have one mass of 80 acres of thistles adjoining our farms.
    I hope, Sir, you will use your powerful influence to remove this grievance, for if the Government fine us, we intend applying to Parliament for relief against this gross negligence.
    DUNCAN CAMERON. Farmer, Wallan Wallan.30
  • 21 Jan 1860: THE THISTLE NUISANCE. - TO THE EDITOR OP THE ARGUS.
    Sir,-The importance which attaches to agricultural pursuits will be my only apology for soliciting space in your columns for the insertion of this letter. The Argus has always taken a deep interest in what relates to the farmer, and I feel confident you will lend your powerful aid in removing a grievance which presses deeply on the most important und yet least remunerative interest in the colony. I refer to the thistle nuisance. About this time last year a letter of mine appeared in the columns of The Argus directing public attention to the above nuisance in the vicinity of Wallan Wallan. This letter was noticed in your agricultural report, and was calculated to do much good, but for the paltry efforts of a neighbouring squatter to mislead the public through the columns of a "morning contemporary" and unhappily, through the petty jealousies of many of the inhabitants of this district, no united effort has been made to remove the grievance complained of. Subsequent to writing to the Argus I called the attention of Mr Heales, M L A, to the subject, who showed what interest he felt in the welfare of his constituents in not having the common courtesy to reply to my letter. I was, however, indirectly informed that Mr Heales called on Mr. Duffy, who said that no provision had been made for the year 1859 for the eradication of thistles, but that ample provision would be made for 1860. From the reply of Mr Nicholson to Mr Carr the other day in the House of Assembly, I find that no such provision has been made on the Estimates. How the O'Shannassy Government could be guilty of such culpable negligence I cannot say, but I presume it is only in consonance with their other administrative actions. You may easily conceive how much the farming interest suffers from this grievance. Last year I and scores of other farmers were summoned to Donnybrook in the busiest season of the year, dancing attend ance on courts of justice, while I at least eradi cated all thistles on my ground three different times. Adjoining my farm is a reserve of Government ground which is the great thistle nursery of the district, yet no effort has been made by Government, either this or last year, to eradicate one single thistle. Fronting M'Leod's Hotel, Wallan Wallan, is the famous Green-hill, as it is called, consisting of 80 acres of Government ground. This is one impenetrable mass of thistles, and from its high position, the thistle seed is spread over an immense tract of country, consisting mainly of agricultural lands, I assure you, Sir, the expense attending the eradication of thistles, from seed coming from Government lands, forms a very serious item in the farmers' expenditure. Let the Government be consistent -let them either eradicate the thistles on Government grounds, or repeal the Thistle Act, and let not the monstrous injustice be inflicted on farmers any longer of being compelled to pay for the negligence of infamous Administrations. When Governments neglect, and worthless senators deceive, we turn to the Press almost instinctively as the last advocate of liberty and justice. I trust, therefore, you will lend your aid to re- move our grievances by supporting the motion of Mr. Carr, M.L.A., and you will entitle your- self to the lasting gratitude of the farmers of Victoria.
    DUNCAN CAMERON. Wallan Wallan, January 16.31
  • 26 Feb 1862: Duncan Cameron, of Wallan Wallan, farmer. Causes of insolvency : Failure of crops, and pressure of creditors. Debts, £114 17s ; assets, £53; deficiency, £61 17s. Mr Jacomb, official assignee.32
  • 26 Mar 1862: INSOLVENT COURT. First and Only Meetings.
    In re Duncan Cameron : Three debts were proved. The insolvent was examined at considerable length by Mr. Lawes on behalf of the official assignee. He attributed his insolvency to the loss in Melbourne by accident of a considerable sum of money, and denied that he contemplated filing his schedule before he came to Melbourne.33
  • 12 Jan 1887: From D. Cameron, asking Council's consent to recommend the sale to him alone by the Crown Lands Department of the land north of the Cardinia upper bridge, opposite Miller's hotel, at £1 per acre. —Recommended, on the motion of Councillors Brisbane and Ramage.34
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 20 Nov 1895: Hugh Cameron, a hale and hearty a young fellow as you might care to meet in a day's march and as popular among his companions—was looking for his bullocks amongst the maze of hill and gully which characterises the ranges about Beaconsfield—he had discovered some of them and was endeavoring to prevent their escaping through an open panel when his horse stumbled and threw him prone upon a stump. A bushman is always prepared for such accidents, although he cannot always guard against them, and in an unconscious state (for he seemed not to remember the fact) he must have struggled again upon his steed and ridden some distance only to come once more to mother earth. Here he was fortunately discovered by some diggers later in the day and carried to the house of Mr. Noble, where he was carefully attended to until a vehicle could be secured to carry him to his home in Lower Beaconsfield where his poor wife scarce twelve months wed and his poor innocent babe, in blissfull ignorance of the disaster awaited his home coming.—What a home coming. He who went forth in the morning full of health and spirit, is brought back to her with a great ugly scalp wound and his ear nearly wrenched from the socket. Fortunately the latest bulletin from the Melbourne Hospital, whither he was at once ordered by Doctor Bonnie, report him as likely to recover, although it may well be imagined that with a fractured skull and other injuries of a serious nature, his life has been trembling in the balance.8
  • 11 May 1949: KILLED BY TREE
    A 76-year-old Orbost timber cutter was killed instantly yesterday when struck on the back of the head by a falling tree.
    He was Norman Hugh Cameron, widower, who had been camped near Orbost for the last four years.9
