They are intended to enhance the project. One of the general observations is ‘A History in Three Rivers’ is largely about wealthier or prominent males their roles and their activities. Professor Glenda Strachan has carried out detailed research on Dungog highlighting the role of women and children in poorer farming families. Because of the nature of the research it also gives insights into life for poorer rural men. See, for example ‘Women’s Work is Never Done” The intersection of Work and Family’ 2004http://www.griffith.edu.au/?a=314657 accessed 10 January 2014, G Strachan, E Jordan, H Carey, ‘Women’s Work in a Rural Community: Dungog and the Upper Williams Valley 1880- 1900’ Labour History No 78, 28 May 2000, p 7 and G Strachan ‘Assumed but Rarely Documented: Women’s Entrepreneurial Activities in Late Ninetieth Country Australia’ www.historycooperative.org/proceedings/asslh/strachan accessed 13/9/2006 p7 Second paragraph reference to Barton – the point of the visit was electioneering for his seat of Hunter, which included Dungog. The first elections were held later in the year and he was elected unopposed. Edmund Barton Fact Sheet 210. www.naa.gov.au/collection/fact-sheets/fs210 accessed 28/11/2012. A Centenary of Memories: The Dungog Chronicle 1888-1888 p21. p7 The Dungog Cottage Hospital was opened in June 1893 see comments below on p103 p.8-9 Suggest that for consistency the formation of the Dungog Historical Society in 1963 and the Dungog Museum in 1968be added to the time line. p13 We agree owith the comments on the Chichester Dam by Paterson Historical Society. It became a very popular picnic site, as significant tree plantings were made and picnic facilities installed John W Armstrong ‘Pipelines and People’ The Hunter District Water Board, pp97-99. After construction of the dam and pipeline they continued to provide work opportunities for men from Dungog. The first 9 miles (14.48 kms) of the first pipeline was made from brush box timber due to the shortage of metal after WWI. p14 Suggest that the section of the wooden pipeline at the Dungog Museum be added to the Heritage Survivals. P19 While it is clear that Charley was hung in Dungog we are not aware of any primary sources that shows where he was hung. See comments on Section 7.2 below p23 para 2 reference to Gazette order re aboriginals did not apply in Dungog. The order only applied to ‘the Stations beyond the limits of location’ and the reference to licence is to the cancelling of licences to use Crown Land. Aboriginal women were being ‘detained by force’, in men’s’ huts and any person found to be involved ‘in so abominable and unchristian proceeding …’ NSW Gazette No 294 20/9/1837. Footnote 54 is a reference to to the Gazette of 13 /9/1837, which is not relevant p25 para 3 footnote 71 is a report of the minutes of evidence given by ‘Robert Scott Esq’ to the ‘Aborigines Question’ and not evidence given by Lord. p28 para 2 the small booklet ‘The Earliest Inhabitants of Dungog, Port Stephens and Gresford’ by Gordon Bennett reprinted in 1964 was also largely based on Dr McKinley’s research and we suggest it also be included in this paragraph. Dungog Historical Society Inc 2 p36 para 2 Reference by G Mackenzie JP to Court. The reference by him is to the Court (not the Dungog Court house), which is described as being 15 miles from his residence and 25 miles from another JP. The original Court was located on the cnr of Dowling and Chapman Streets and could hardly be described as a direct line between the AA Co and the Hunter River. The Court was only established in Dungog in December 1833. Quite often, in remote areas, like Dungog at that time, courts would sit in any available building until a court house was built. M. Bennett, ‘Early Days of the Law in Country Districts’, The Australian Law Journal, Vol, 46, November, 1972, pp. 578-579. A letter from the then Department Works says that the original court house was built about 1835 by D F Mackay. Public Works Letter dated 20/9/1974 from the Department of Works to the Clerk of Petty Sessions, Dungog DHS file on the Court. The earliest reference we know about the building is in 1836. James Backhouse, ‘A Narrative of a Visit to the Colonies’, London 1836 Hamilton and Adams & Co p402 p38 Heritage Survivals – In all the licences granted to Stephenson between 18/9/1840 (licence no 0442) to 6 May 1860 (0913) the inn is described as ‘The Dungog Inn’ not Stephenson’s Inn. See http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/indexsearch/searchhits.aspx?table=Publicans%20Licenses&ID=69&query =Stephenson&frm=0 p40- 41 There are about 14 older families in the Dungog area with German ancestry i.e. not just the Rumbels and Eybs. Another legacy of the German migrants is the Pinzgaur cattle, which have a distinct white mark down their backs and tails. They can still be seen around the Wallarobba area. Probably the first Greek Café in Dungog was run by Arthur and Harry Crithary, from Piraeus Greece, who were registered as Aliens in Dungog during part of WWI. They ran the ‘Oyster Saloon’. Our photographic collection shows that it was located on the cnr of Dowling and Mackay Streets (now the ‘Dungog Chronicle” office) http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/printArticleJpg/134142034/3?print=y William George Rose was born in Lebanon and in 1913 opened a shop in the northern end of Dowling Street. Later the shop was moved to the Angus & Coote building. After his death in 1961 his nephew, John Rose took over the business. As well as running a clothing/shoe shop they had an import export business (Mokha Trading Export/ Import). ‘Dungog Chronicle’ 17/1/1913 and 20 September 1961. The Barboutis family had two cafes, one on the railway station, since demolished and the other one was located in the café now called the ‘Country Grub Café’. p49 first full paragraph – it was separated milk not curd that was fed to pigs and heifer calves. Another reason for the decline in pigs was that in later years all the milk was sent to the factory. p54 second para Rex Kingston has advised that the dairy farmers did not threaten to strike but threatened to withhold supply. p57 para 2.There now only about 12 dairy farms in the Williams Valley. Items 3.2 and 3.4 –There is much emphasis on the larger land holders. See our comments, paragraph 1 about some of Professor Glenda Strahan’s articles. A small number of women also obtained grants in the Dungog area. Geoff Cannon, ‘The First Title Holders of Land in the Counties of Camden, Cook, Hunter, Durham and Gloucester, 2004 CD p.67 para two. We understand that the glulam timber in the Opera House was not used on the floors but in structural item such as beams, mouldings and door jambs and that timber was supplied for flooring, wall panelling, stairs and runners. C Hunter ‘Croll’s Mill’ pp48-50 Dungog Historical Society Inc 3 p69 first paragraph animals were also driven to markets. Rex Kingston’s grandfather walked pigs from Bandon Grove to Clarence Town. p75 Clarification is needed about blacksmiths. It is farriers who are also blacksmiths that make horse shoes and shoe horses. Not all blacksmiths are farriers. p77 para 3 – Chatswood on the Lane Cove – should that be a reference instead to Concord on the Parramatta River? p78 The clothing factory that operated in Dungog during part of WWII was the Just-Rite Clothing Factory Pty Ltd ‘Centenary of Memories’ p78. p81 In 1916 the village of Wangat and farms in the Chichester valley were appropriated for the Chichester Dam and its catchment. either closing of the village and nearby mines it had nothing to do with access difficulties. ‘Pipelines and Peoples’ pp86-87. p88 fifth para. There are additional stations at Telarah, Oakhampton and Mindaribba. p89 Second paragraph – suggest that farrier replace blacksmith pp95-101, 3.11 No mention is made of the untrained midwives and neighbours who delivered many of the children born in the early years. G Strachan “Present at the Birth: Midwives, ‘Handy Women’ and Neighbours in Rural New South Wales 1850-1900”, Labour History No 81 Nov. 2001 pp13-28. Also it would be useful to add in information about dentistry. There are numerous advertisements in the ‘Dungog Chronicle’ for the earlier travelling dentists. Heritage Listings Suggest that pharmaceutical equipment in Museums be added to the list. pp 103 fourth para. The Earl of Jersey came to Dungog on 23 November 1892 and his main task was to lay the foundation stone for the Cottage Hospital http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13887422?searchTerm=%22earl%20of%20Jersey%22%20Du ngog&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc It opened in June 1893. p104 reference to dinner – it should be a reference to lunch. A banquet lunch was organised for invited guests and a picnic organised at the Showground for about 3,000.

In the Supreme Court, The King v. Jack Congo Murrell. ``And now the said Jack Congo Murrell in his own proper person comes, and having heard the Information aforesaid read, and protesting that he is not guilty of the premises charged in the said Information or any part thereof, for plea, nevertheless saith that he ought not to be compelled to answer to the said Information; because, he saith that the said Territory of New South Wales before and until the occupation thereof by his late Majesty King George the third, was inhabited by tribes of native blacks, who were regulated and governed by usages and customs of their own from time immemorial, practised and recognised amongst them, and not by the laws of statutes of Great Britain, and that ever since the occupation of the said Territory as aforesaid, the said tribes have continued to be, and still are regulated and governed by such usages and customs as aforesaid, - and not by the laws and statutes of Great Britain. And the said Jack Congo Murrell further saith that he is a native Black belonging to one of such tribes aforesaid, and that he is not now, nor at any time heretofore was a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, nor was nor is subject to any of the laws or statutes of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

  • 100 Year Anniversary of CCA 3.12.12
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES BANCO COURT BATHURST CJ AND THE JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT Monday 3 December 2012 FORMAL CEREMONY IN HONOUR OF THE RE-OPENING OF BANCO COURT AND 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL 1 BATHURST CJ: Your Excellency, the Attorney General, Chief Justices, your Honours, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome. I would like to start today by acknowledging the Cadigal people of the Eora nation and paying my respect to their elders, past and present. As noted by the first Chief Justice of this Court, Sir Francis Forbes, the Aboriginal people have been custodians of the land on which we meet today for thousands of years. 2 It is fitting that as we gather to celebrate significant milestones of this Court's history, we recognise this continuing tradition. 3 I would, therefore, like to invite Michael West, who is the cultural representative of the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council and a delegate to the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples, to deliver a welcome to country. 4 Thank you, Michael. 5 MR WEST: Good morning, my brothers and sisters. - 1 - 6 This beautiful land you meet on, obviously, is a land of the Cadigal people of the Eora Nation, one of the twenty-nine clans of the Eora Nation. 7 It is important - the onus is on all Australians - to learn, understand and appreciate the oldest living, continuing culture in the world today. There are great things to learn about community, about understanding the cycles of mother nature, understanding that we are all connected in the scheme of things in the cosmos - from me to you, to the person sitting beside you, to the beautiful whales that come into the Harbour here, part of the totems of the coastal clans and considered elders of the sea, to the fish, the kangaroos, the dugongs, the emus, to me and you, to the drops of rain that are falling on our heads and the particles of dust in the wind.

  • A LETTER from ARTHUR HODGSON to HENRY STUART RUSSELL the Genesis of Queensland
    211 A LETTER FROM ARTHUR HODGSON TO HENRY STUART RUSSELL The Genesis of Queensland SIR ARTHUR HODGSON The Editor has received from Mr. Alec. H. Chisholm, ornithologist and historian, and a Fellow of the Society, a copy of a letter sent by Arthur Hodgson' to Henry Stuart Russell,^ which is of historic interest. It relates to the pub­ lication of Russell's book "The Genesis of Queensland."^ The letter was dated 9 March 1888. It read as foUows: Clopton House, Stratford on Avon. "My Dear Russell, "Yesterday 'The Genesis of Queensland' reached me from Sydney by parcel-post. It was a long time en route, our son Edward, manager of Eton Vale, having written to us that the book was in his possession, and received favourable reviews, had been forwarded by him to Clopton. 212 "I called last week, when in London, at several bookseUers, but they knew nothing, and at Stamford's, Charing Cross, I was told that such a book would be in great request, as Queensland, owing to its vast mineral resources, was largely in the ascendant. "I have sent them the name of the pubUsher, and to Bumper's in Oxford Street, etc., etc., and at the Colonial Institute your book was unknown. "I hope that the pubUshers have their agents in London, and that they have forwarded at least 100 copies, which I feel assured would find a very ready sale. "All this by way of introduction, and I may add that as soon as our friend RoUeston'' told me that such a book was on the stocks, I immediately (in May last) ordered two copies.

  • The Hon Tf Bathurst Chief Justice
    THE HON T F BATHURST CHIEF JUSTICE OF NEW SOUTH WALES FRANCIS FORBES SOCIETY AUSTRALIAN LEGAL HISTORY ‘A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK’1: THE HISTORY OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION IN NEW SOUTH WALES THURSDAY 19 SEPTEMBER 2019* INTRODUCTION 1. I would like to begin by respectfully acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, and pay my respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. As I will discuss later in this tutorial, the first legal system in Australia belonged to that of Australia’s Indigenous people. We acknowledge and respect the ongoing laws and customs of the traditional custodians of this land. 2. If any of you are here to hear about the development of the law of New South Wales or the history of its courts, you are sure to be disappointed. To console you there will be plenty of these lectures during the Court’s bicentenary in a few years’ time. This speech is about the profession itself, not the law, Courts or judiciary. 3. A traditional view of the advent of the legal profession in New South Wales would focus exclusively on the advent of solicitors, both free and former- convict, and barristers in the emerging penal Colony. However, far too often we conflate the start of the legal profession in New South Wales with the start of the legal profession for men. The advent of the legal profession for women did not occur until over a century later, and regrettably, even later for Australia’s Indigenous peoples.

  • The Law at War 1914 – 1915
    The Law at War 1914 – 1915 Engaged to Act on Another Front A Working Paper describing the actions of Members of the New South Wales Legal Profession on Gallipoli Tony Cunneen BA MA Dip Ed [email protected] Acknowledgements As with any writing project there are a multitude of people who have assisted with the research. My thanks go to Sir Laurence Street, Peter Marinovic of the Red Cross archives, , The Forbes Society for Legal History, the staff at Willoughby Library who cheerfully tracked down the most obscure books and theses with great patience Introduction Legal history is not simply the accumulation of cases, decisions and statutes. Around this framework swirl the private lives of the solicitors, barristers, judges, clerks and associated professionals who worked in the law. A profession gains part of its character from the private lives and experiences of its early members. Through its professional ancestors the New South Wales legal fraternity is connected to a range of institutions – everything from sporting groups, schools, universities and churches. One significant group has been the military. In World War One all of these eleemnet came togher. Men who had been at the same school, worshipped at teh samechruch, 2 shared the space at the law courts, walked the corridors of chambers, had garden parties overlooking the harbour and caught the same trams and ferries home found themselves next to one another in strange exotic fields when the bullets flew and ordinary soldiers looked to the privileged officers for leadership. While the battles raged, in Australia the mothers, wives an sisters of the soldiers gave countless hours to preparing packages for their menfolk, or organising fundraising, or tracking done details of their fates.

  • “To the Dowlings Who Served in America's Wars”
    “to the Dowlings who served in America's wars” A MEMORIAL PLAQUE PRESENTED BY. MAUD DOWLING TURNER AT THE 1946 DOWLING FAMILY REUNION MEETING HAMPTON, SOUTH CAROLINA PUBLISHER’S NOTE Maud Dowling Turner authored this document in 1946 for the dedication of a plaque honoring those in the Dowling Family who served in America’s wars – from the Revolutionary War through World War II. It was presented at the Dowling Family Reunion in Hampton South Carolina that year. I obtained my copy from a cousin. It contains a great deal of history of the Dowling family. Since it is apparently no longer in print, I have prepared this copy to assist other Dowlings in the search for their family’s history. The Dowlings honored on the plaque and in this publication are members of the Robert Dowling family, chiefly Robert’s descendants by his son James and James’ son John. This copy was prepared using Optical Character Recognition of a copy of the original. Due to the differing styles and formatting of the original, the OCR software had difficulty with many words. While I have attempted to proofread it carefully, if you find any apparent typographical errors, please contact me and I will check them against the original. I have attempted to retain the original wording and punctuation as closely as possible. However, I have resized and relocated the photographs to place them beside the story of the person in the photograph. I also changed the original two-column layout in order to format it for the Web. The few changes or additions I have made to the text are contained within brackets [ ].
