  • 12 Dec 1890: SAD DEATH IN THE MALLEE
    Information was lodged with the police on Friday night last (says the Swan Hill Guardian) that a man of the name of Francis Burchett had not been seen for four days, and it was suspected that he must have got lost in the mallee. On the information lodged Constables Murray and M'Kenna proceeded to a place about 17 miles distant from Swan Hill, on the Lalbert road, for the purpose of searching for him. The constables picked up the man's track a short distance from his tent, and following him up for a distance of about three or four miles, they came upon the dead body of Burchett, and he had apparently died just as he fell. The body was in a very advanced stage of decomposition, and he must have been dead three or four days. There were no tracks near where the body was found. The police had it conveyed to Swan Hill. An inquest on the body of the deceased was held on Sunday at noon, before Mr. Wood, J. P. Dr. Cranstone gave evidence to the effect that be had made a post mortem examination of the body, and found that the man's heart was in a very advanced state of fatty degeneration, and thai he was of opinion death resulted from the condition of the heart, accelerated by excessive drinking and subsequent exposure to the heat , and a verdict was returned to that effect. The deceased arrived in Swan Hill about the 26th November last, and took up one of Mr. Hughes' mallee blocks, 320 acres. Ever since his arrival here he has been drinking heavily, and was as a matter of fact suffering from delerium tremens. On Tuesday, the 2nd, he ran away from his camp into the mallee. His servant, Handcock, pursued him for a considerable distance, but did not succeed in overtaking him. He returned to the camp, thinking Mr. Burchett would return of his own accord, as he had often done before. As he did not return, however, Handcock started to search for him, and after scouring the neighborhood for two days without success be communicated the matter to the police, with the result before stated. Is it not extraordinary that Handcock did not give information to the police immediately he discovered his master was lost, instead of wasting two days in a fruitless search in mallee scrub, to which he was a total stranger? When a man suffering as Mr. Burchett was, from the effects of drink, got lost in the mallee, it would surely have struck anyone with ordinary intelligence that the alarm ought to have been raised and every effort should at once have been made to recover him ; instead of which he was lost on Tuesday and the police were not informed of the fact till Friday night. If the police had been informed at once he would have been recovered almost immediately, as Constables M'Kenna and Murray picked his tracks up a short distance from the camp and never lost them till they came upon the body about three miles from the camp.
    Mr. Burchett was a young man of good family, and his father holds a high position under the Government at home.6

  • 15 Aug 1902: JAMES OLIVER'S WILL. ATTACKED IN COURT. WAS TESTATOR INFLUENCED?
    A suit arising out of the will of James Oliver, late of King street, was begun in the First Civil Court to-day, before Mr Justice Hodges. Testator, who died in May last, left estate valued at L12.000 to his son, Thomas, and his (Thomas's) wife, Jessie.
    The validity of this will which was made in December, 1898, is challenged by Mrs Isabella Hutton, a daughter of the testator, and J. S. Oliver (a son of William Oliver, deceased), a grandson of testator, on the grounds that the document, was not executed by testator; that testator, being imbecile, lacked testamentary capacity: and that he was unduly influenced by his son and daughter-in-law.
    Mr Duffy, K.C., and Mr Stark (instructed by Mr C. J. M'Farlane) appeared for the executors, and in support of the will. Mr Purves, K.C., and Mr Agg (instructed by Messrs Fink, Best and Hall) appeared for the caveators.
    Mr Duffy, in opening the case for the executors, said that Mr James Oliver was 86 years of age at the time of his death. He came from Dundee, where his first wife died in 1849, with his two children, Alexander and William, arriving in Victoria in 1853. Thomas Oliver (one of the executors and the principal beneficiary) and his sister, Isabella Hutton (caveatrix) were children of a second marriage. Testator was 23 years of age when he arrived in Melbourne, and he at once set to work at his trade as a joiner and shipwright, and soon amassed a considerable sum of money. He carried on business in King street from 1853 till 1870, when he retired. Meanwhile, his sons Alexander and William had married and left the parental abode. They were now deceased. In King street, in 1870, Mr Oliver lived with his second wife and their children, Thomas and Isabella. On the latter getting married in 1881, testator gave her property of the value of L1000 or L1100.
    Tom Oliver (executor) began life as a shipping clerk, and when he got married in 1883 the old man and his wife gave up their house to him and went to reside in a smaller cottage next door, but when, in 1887, Mrs Oliver, senr. died, testator went back to the old house, and continued to reside with his son and daughter-in-law for the remainder of his life.
    In 1889, Tom Oliver, having lost his situation, went into business in the oil and color trade, and remained till 1895, when he gave it up and went to help his father. From that time onwards Mr Oliver allowed Tom L3 a week towards the household expenses. When the old man reached the age of eighty-six he met with an accident, from the effects of which he never recovered. He mounted a kerosene tin for the purpose of cutting a rope, and falling off fractured his thigh.
    Up to the last, however, his intellect remained clear and sound.
    Mr Duffy intimated that after proving the will Mr Purves would call evidence for the other side, and then he (Mr Duffy) would start his rebutting case. W. B. Crocket, auctioneer and estate agent; carrying on business in Errol street, North Melbourne, said that he had known testator since 1886. Witness was originally apprenticed to testator's son, Alexander, an a carpenter; then he went into the timber trade, and, lastly, into the estate agency and auctioneering business. He had frequently seen Mr James Oliver during the last four and a half years of his life. The old man used to call at witness's place of business and have a chat; sometimes he would call every day in the week. He used to address witness as "Bonner" (one of his first names).
    To Mr Stark: I recollect making a will for the testator. He came to me on a Friday in December, 1898. He said, "Bonner, I want you to make my will; here are the particulars. We went into my private room where he handed me the draft produced and a will form. He said, "I want all my real estate my houses and lands, for Thomas's children, but Tom and his wife are to have the rents during their lives. All my money and my deposit receipts and every thing else for Tom and his wife, share and share alike." I said, to Mr Oliver. "What, about the other members of the family?" He replied "They have had enough already. Tom's wife has been a mother to me." My son, Alec, filled in the will form at my dictation. Mr Oliver said, when it was read to him. "It is all right;" He asked me to be one of the executors of the will to protect Thomas and his children," and I agreed. Testator then signed the will, and my two sons, at the old man's request, signed as witnesses.
    On the following day Thomas Oliver came to my office, and told me that I put his wife's name wrongly in the will, and that his father wanted it altered. He gave me his wife's full name, and a new will form. My son filled in the new form accordingly, and I procured two witnesses (neighbors)—Mr Haddon and Mr Groom, by whom it was signed.
    Witness went on to say that in his opinion testator was physically and mentally sound when he signed the will. His remarks were full of wisdom and Scotch character. Six months after the making of the will the testator handed witness the title deeds of a property in Pascoe Vale to show, as he said, what confidence he had in witness. On the same evening witness sent back the document in an envelope to Mr James Oliver. The property in Pascoe Vale was not worth much. Witness would sell it for five pounds.
    Mr Purves: You worked for Alexander Oliver. Did you ever work for William Oliver?
    Witness: No.
    Did you know that Alexander helped the old man to make his money?— I was not aware of it.
    You say the old man was in a sound condition of mind ?— Yes up to the night before his death. His health commenced to fall about four or six months before he met with the accident.
    Was Mr Oliver a clean old man?— Yes. I never noticed anything unclean about his clothes.
    Is it your business to make wills?—Not often.
    How often?— I have made about ten in all.
    In how many have you put yourself in as executor?— Not more than three.
    I presume you are to be paid as executor?— I have not looked for it, but I expect to be.
    The case had not concluded when the court adjourned for lunch.
    The hearing of the will case in connection with the estate of the late James Oliver, was continued in the First Civil Court this afternoon, before Mr Justice Hodges, when the cross-examination by Mr Purves of the witness Crocket was continued.
    Mr Purves: Do you charge people for making their wills?
    Witness: No, I have never done so.
    Why? You are not a philanthropist?—It is a man's duty to help another to make provision for his hereafter.
    If you adopt that high standard of morality, why did you not send Mr Oliver to a solicitor?— I did not advise him.
    What became of the first will that you fixed up?—I cannot say.
    Did you know, when the will was made, that this Thomas Oliver was a notorious, helpless drunkard?—I heard that he took a little; people said that he was addicted to drink.
    Did Tom ever borrow any money from you?—He did—not. (Laughter.)
    You raise my hopes when you say "I will," and you shake my nerves when you add the "not." Why did you not have the first will altered and initialled instead of making out a new one?— Because he brought the new form to me.
    Were you aware that the testator left four grandchildren absolutely destitute?—No.
    Andrew Haddow, ironmonger, Queen street, said he knew the late Mr James Oliver for about twenty years. Witness was one of the witnesses to the will. He was satisfied that Mr Oliver was perfectly sound in mind when the will was executed. After testator met with the accident witness had conversations with Mr Oliver which showed that his mind was perfectly lucid. The old man often displayed affection towards Tom Oliver's children.
    To Mr Agg: I have seen the old man shed tears or gratitude during his last illness.
    How do you know they were tears of gratitude?—How do I know—I have done it myself. (Laughter).
    Did you know that Tom Oliver was an out-and-out drunkard?— I never heard that. I don't think I ever saw him drunk myself.
    To Mr Stark: The testator could talk and converse just as well as I have been doing in the witness-box.
    F. Groom, salesmen, the other attesting witness, gave formal evidence.
    Alexander Crocket, estate agent, assistant to a previous witness of the same surname, gave evidence as to filling in two will forms at the dictation of his father.
    To Mr Purves : Mrs Tom Oliver never wrote to me about the wills. The draft will was returned to testator; we had no authority to keep it. If people who do business with us would request my father to do so, he would make their wills and become their executors, if necessary. My two sisters may have been legatees of L50 each in a will of which my father was one of the executors. I have no secrets from my father; he may have some secrets from me. The old man was a client of ours; we used to let properties for him.
    Thomas Oliver, cleric, one of the executors, and principal beneficiary, said that he was three years of age when he arrived in Melbourne. His first residence was in a tent, then the family went to West Melbourne, and finally to King street. Witness gave a detailed account of the careers of his two brothers, sister and himself.
    The case had not concluded when the court adjourned.7
  • 20 Aug 1902: JAMES OLIVER'S WILL. ATTACKED IN COURT. WAS TESTATOR INFLUENCED?
    The suit arising out of the will of James Oliver, late of King street, was continued in the First Civil Court today, before Mr Justice Hodges, Testator, who died in May last, left estate valued at L12,000 to his son, Thomas, and his (Thomas's) wife, Jessie.
    The validity of this will, which was made in December, 1898, is challenged by Mrs Isabella Hutton, a daughter of the testator, and J. S. Oliver (a son of William Oliver, deceased), a grandson of testator on the grounds that the document was not executed by testator; that testator, being imbecile, lacked testamentary capacity; and that be was unduly influenced by his son and daughter-in-law, Mr and Mrs Thos. Oliver.
    Mr Duffy, K.C., Mr Bryant and Mr Stark (instructed by Mr C. J. M'Farlane) appeared for the executors, and in support of the will. Mr Purves, K.C., and Mr Agg instructed by Messrs Fink, Best and Ball) appeared for the caveators.
    Jessie Oliver, widow of Alexander Oliver, son of testator, said she had twelve children living, the eldest forty, and the youngest seventeen. Witness's husband was killed by an accident in 1890. In 1890 testator asked witness to accompany him to Gembrook. Witness asked why he did not want Thomas to go with him. Testator replied. "A drunken man is no company for anyone. Look at his wife and children. I have had to work and clothe and keep a roof over their head. As for Tom, they would starve." He also spoke about Thomas's wife, saying. "She is not good to me. She hardly spoke to me for a fortnight." Testator said he had enough to leave all his children something. Witness said. "I hope you will not forgot those four little children of William's." Testator replied, "The mother deceived me." Witness said that the children should not suffer on that account. "The sins of the parents," rejoined testator, "are visited upon the children, even unto the third and fourth generations." "That is the old dispensation," responded witness, "and it is not Christian like. If the parents have done wrong, the children are not accountable." Testator replied, "Say no more about that, Jessie: come and have a look at the garden." At the beginning of February, 1898, testator said he was going to alter his will, as it would not do the way he wanted it. He said. "It will not do to have Tom manage my business. You know he is it confirmed drunkard. I am going to give you the house you are in, and L500 on my death. When my estate is wound up, you will get another share along with the others. I will give Isabella (Mrs Hutton) L500. I will leave Tom's in trust for the children. I will give James Sylvester Oliver L300, and the house in Erskine street." He advised witness to make her will, as she now knew what he was going to leave her. In December, 1899, he gave her the deed of the house he promised her. Subsequently Bonar Crocket called on her and got the deeds to get them transferred into her name. He brought back the deeds in January, 1900, and said that that was all she was to get. In consequence of that remark, witness saw testator, and to test whether he had altered his intentions regarding his will, told him how she had made her will disposing of the money and property he had promised her. He was pleased, and said he could not have made a better will himself. In 1899 witness gave testator a pair of socks, as was her custom. He was pleased, and commenced to say, "There's gratitude," but catching Mrs Thomas Oliver's eye, he broke off suddenly. Witness could see at once "that grandfather was under Mrs Thomas Oliver's control."
    James Sylvester Oliver, one of the caveators, said he was 32 years of age, and managing clerk for Johnson and Grant, solicitors. He was the eldest son of William Oliver, deceased, who was a son of testator. Witness' father died in 1892, leaving a family by his first wife, and four children by his second wife, who survived him. Witness detailed what took place in reference to the March, 1893, will. Witness, at testator's request, saw him. Testator said he wanted to make a will, and wanted his property left as follow: — Alexander's wife, house at station and L500: "Isa" (Mrs Hutton), L500; witness, L300 and the house "you were kicked out of;" George, L200 and Narre Warren; Fred, Jess, and Kate. L100 each; Charles and Dave, Gembrook and L100 each; Jess, L100; nothing to go to Tom. His share (two houses in King street) to go to his children. Testator did not provide for the division of the residue, and witness on his own responsibility and to prevent an intestacy, made the residue divisible amongst the four families. Testator made witness and Mr Hutton executor.
    Testator added that he would place nothing in Tom's hands, as he would only fritter it away." The loan witness got of L20 from testator, and the failure on witness' part to repay, the whole of which was said to have caused testator to cut him out of his last will, was prior to the March 1898 will. Witness repaid six amounts of L1, and when he paid the last of these, testator said, "Is this the lot?" Witness judged from this that testator had forgotten how much was owing, and therefore did not pay him any more. ( Laughter). Between March, 1898 and testator's death, witness knew of no alteration in testator's relations with his family that would cause him to alter his will of March, 1898.
    His Honor: Did you read that will (March, 1898) over to testator?
    Witness: I don't remember.
    Did you read part of it?— I can't say.
    Did you read the special bequest?—I don't remember. He simply said, 'is it all right?" I said "Yes."
    Did you explain how the residue was divisible?— I just said that there was something over, and that it would be divisable in fourths.
    You did not tell him whom the fourth shares were to go to?— No.
    Do you think he understood it?— I don't know that he did.
    And, that being so, you, as a solicitor's clerk, thought your grandfather should sign something in the presence of witnesses as a valid will; when you were not sure that he understood it? — I did.
    That will do. Thank you.
    James Hollywood, railway employe, said that in March, 1898, testator said that he had made an equal division of his property amongst his children. Eighteen months ago he had a conversation with Thomas, and asked him why he did not go over to the west. Tom replied that he "had a gold mine in King street and meant to look after it." Twelve months ago testator complained of the way Tom had been worrying him over the property, and said that it would have been better if he (testator) had no property at all. He said they were "fighting over it."
    Cross-examined : Testator several times said that Tom had harassed him for years, and had done nothing but drank.
    The court adjourned for lunch.
    The Oliver will case was continued in the First Civil Court this afternoon before Mr Justice Hodges.
    Peter Knox, cooper, of King street, said that after one of testator's grandsons had gone to the war, testator told him that there would be no quarrelling after his will, as he had made a just will, having divided his estate into four parts. He also said on one occasion that a man's greatest enemies wore in his own household.
    Annie B. Hutton, daughter of the caveatrix, gave evidence generally corroborative of the testimony of caveatrix as to testator's statement in February, 1898, about the way he intended to leave his property. He said the residue was to be divided into four parts after certain legacies were paid, and Mrs Tom was to get a fourth share.
    To his Honor : Testator visited witness' mother's place several times during 1898, 1899 and 1900. Sometimes he would be alone.
    Muriel Hutton, fourteen years of age, said that about December, 1900, she heard testator say that Tom should never have any power in his (testator's) affairs, as he (Tom) was a drunkard.
    Andrew Y. Oustler, liquidator of Montgomerie's Brewery Limited, said that he met testator first in January, 1898. "Witness was a tenant. He thought testator an eccentric old gentleman. Early in January, 1898, witnessed a will of testators in the presence of James Oliver and Mr Eager. The will was not read to witness. Some months before October, 1901, some of Tom Oliver's children came to witness crying, and asked witness to go in and see "father." He went in and found Tom Oliver very much excited.
    He went to strike witness, and witness held him for a considerable time. Mrs Oliver said, "See what he has done to me." Her blouse was torn and her hair was hanging down.
    Mr Purves : Did you not state to Mr Pitcher (of Fink, Best and Hall) that the old man said, "He knocked his poor old father down?"
    Witness : No; I said I was told that afterwards.
    Further pressed, witness said that testator said that his son's conduct was terrible.
    The hearing had not concluded when the court adjourned.8
