  • 20 Nov 1896: At Dandenong on Friday morning Michael Joseph Bennett, after a long chase, was arrested by Constable M'Lennan on a charge of stealing a horse belonging to Hugh Cameron, of Lower Beaconsfield. The loss of a saddle was reported from Pakenham, and it was found in prisoner's possession.14
  • 6 Jul 1904: A nephew of Mr. Walker of Manuka Park had a nasty experience last Friday. He was riding past the Shire Hall, Berwick, his pony shied and threw him, and started off for home, one foot of the boy being caught in the stirrup. In this position he was dragged for nearly mile.
    As they passed Mr. Cameron's place, the pony gaining pace, Mr. Hugh Cameron who was in the garden, kicked off his boots and gave chase, heading the animal off on to the Beaconsfield road. Mr. Alf. Shorthouse who was near the intersection of roads at the Gippsland Hotel, noticed them approaching ran to meet them on the bridge, and nmaking a dexterous spring on to the pony's neck brought it to a standstill. It was just in time, as the boy was exhausted with keeping his head off the ground, which he had managed to do all the time. His body was fearfully cut and lacerated, and after being attended to and rested at the hotel he led his horse home. Mr. Cameron, who had come up to the scene of rescue, after being assumed that all was well, made the best of his way back through the mud and rain which was falling heavily.
    Mr. and Mrs. Cruddass have taken up their residence here, having purchased Mrs. Fuller's place.15
