  • 29 Oct 1859: BEATING A CHILD.—Stephen Trythall, a schoolmaster, residing in Hoddle-street, East Collingwood, was summoned by Joseph Cullen, for committing an assault upon the son of the complainant, a little boy, five years of age. The child had been taken to the Melbourne Police Court when the charge was first preferred, which was at the commencement of last week, and sundry marks upon his back were then shown to the magistrate (Mr. Vaughan), who happened to be in attendance. The Bench considered the punishment to have been unnecessarily severe, and fined the schoolmaster 10s., with 5s. 6d. costs.11
  • 3 Mar 1883: About thirty persons assembled last Thursday evening, the 1st instant, in response to an advertisement, to arrange for the annual excursion in connection with the Collingwood State Schools. Mr. Macfarlane occupied the chair. Mr. Eade, jun., was appointed Secretary. If the arrangements, as decided upon, can be successfully carried out, the excursion will be held on Friday, 16th instant, at Beaconsfield. Messrs. Macfarlane, Trythall, and Rain were appointed to visit Beaconsfield, and complete arrangements for the reception of the excursionists. Messrs. Macfarlane, Barnet, Lang, and Hart were appointed a Finance Committee. The special duty of this Committee will be the issue of tickets and arranging for the trains. Messrs. Tait, Graham, Dyer, Feild, Dale, Armfield, and Rain to be the Sports' Committee. The sum of £15 was voted to the various Committees to enable them to carry out the arrangements. Several of those present contributed to the funds. At this stage, His Worship, the Mayor of the City, Mr. M. Dwyer, entered the room, and in a rambling speech, endeavoured to explain to the meeting the reason why, in his opinion, he had not received an invitation to attend the meeting. All the councillors, and even his officers, had been invited. He presumed this want of courtesy was consequent upon his action at the Council table, as reported by numerous individuals. He gave the rumours an unqualified denial. Mr. Cr. Feild took the remarks of the Mayor as being applied to him personally, and insisted that the rumours were correct. The proceedings then became very disorderly.
    Messrs. Eades, sen., Barnet, Dale, and others attacked the Mayor for his unseemly conduct, and what with the gesticulations of the Mayor with his walking-stick, the cries of "Shame! " "It's a disgrace on Collingwood!" and the suggestions of others to send for a constable to give His Worship the Mayor in charge, the further progresss of business being effectually stopped by this conduct, the meeting adjourned till next Thursday.12

  • 28 Apr 1911: Death of Mr. Alfred Mellor
    The news of the accidental death of Mr. Alfred Mellor, of "Corinyah," Mont Albert road, Canterbury, was received with widespread sorrow through out this district. Mr. Mellor's death occurred in an extraordinarily simple manner. He was returning on the R.M.S. "Osterley" from a visit to West Australia, and whilst engaged with several other passengers in a game of quoits during the vessel's stay at Adelaide, he slipped on the deck and fell heavily. The fall induced cerebral hemuorrhage, and Mr. Mellor died almost inmmediately. The body was brought to Melbourne by the Adelaide express on Tuesday morning and the funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, when the remains were interred in the St. Kilda cemetery. The funeral cortege was very large and the service at the grave was conducted by the Revs. Jones and Roberts. There was a large mass of beautiful floral tributes. The deceased gentleman was a prominent figure in the Melbourne business world, particularly in mining circles, he having held for many years the secretaryship of the Mt. Lyell Co., for the success of which he was in a large degree responsible. He was 55 years of age, and was held in high esteem in Canterbury.10
