  • 26 Oct 1880: RE JAMES FEEHAN.
    This was a petition by Mrs. Mary Feehan, praying for an inquiry by the master in equity as to whether her husband, James Feehan, was of sane mind and capable of managing his affairs. The petition was presented through Mr. J. Ryan, the father of Mrs. Feehan.
    Mr. A'Beckett appeared for the petitioner; Mr. Lawes for Mr. Feehan.
    James Feehan was a farmer at Berwick, but he had freehold land also at Corop, and leased land at Deep Creek, Bulla. It was alleged that he had been in the Yarra Bend Asylum some years ago as a lunatic; that he afterwards obtained his release; that in August last he was again placed in the asylum by an order signed by Mr. F. Call, police magistrate. The order was made on two certificates signed by Dr. J. P. Ryan and Mr. C. S. Ryan, medical practitioners. Both these gentlemen made affidavits that Feehan was suffering from religious delusions. Mr. Paley, superintendent of the asylum, also gave similar evidence, and Mrs Feehan and two of her sons, one 19 and the other 15 years of age, gave evidence as to the conduct of Mr. Feehan. Against this aflidavits were put in by Dr. Molloy, Mr. Iffla, surgeon, an official visitor at the lunatic asylum, that Feehan was rational. Mr. H. C. Turner, bank manager, Mr. N. J. Casey, Mr. Ker, and others said that Feehan seemed to be perfectly able to transact business. It was contended on his behalf that he was not permanently insane and that his wife was too precipitate in making this application.
    His HONOUR said that this was only an application for an inquiry as to the sanity of the alleged lunatic, and it was advisable that it should take place as it would decide the charge of lunacy that was now hovering over him. According to the result of that inquiry, and whether there were reasonable grounds for preferring the accusation, he would decide the question of costs. , Mary Ryan15
  • 22 Apr 1882: Mr. James Feehan, of the City Arms Hotel Elizabeth-street, Melbourne, who is the owner of considerable landed property within the boroughs of Essendon and Flemington, has offered to make the council of that borough a gift of land sufficient to open up a road from the Moonee Pond creek to Ascot Vale. The proposed new road would be a continuation of Dawson-street, Brunswick, and would be a great convenience to the public generally. This matter came before the Brunswick council on Wednesday evening, when a letter was read from an influential ratepayer, Mr. T.P. Fallon, suggesting that steps be at once taken with a view to the erection of a bridge over the Moonee Ponds creek in a line with Dawson-street. Mr. Fallon intimated that in his opinion it did not reflect much credit upon the municipal councils concerned that, within sound of the bells of the Melbourne Post Office clock, there is a creek separating two important municipalities without a bridge over it. In reference to this matter it may be stated, as a fact, that although 'in a bee line' the Brunswick town hall is not distant more than a mile and a quarter from Flemington municipal council chamber, to drive from one building to the other necessitates a journey of about six miles.16

  • 11 Apr 1896: MANSFIELD, FRIDAY.—At the local court this morning James Feehan and Richard Crawford were charged with not taking proper precautions to destroy rabbits on their land after receiving notice. The former was fined £6 and £1 16s. costs, and the latter £2 and £1 10s. costs. The cases against Ambrose Devine and Jos. Maxwell, for the same offence, were postponed for one month.18
