GULGONG EVENING ARGUS - Saturday October 7 1876
Last Thursday’s Gazette contained a long list of newly
appointed magistrates and we are glad to find that at last Gulgong can boast of a real live JP which is
not a civil servant. The two fortunate recipients of this much coveted
honour—why we know not—are Mr Plunkett and Mr Cornelius Driscoll. The former
gentleman is everybody knows not new to the office, having done good service as
a magistrate in the early days of this goldfield when the ‘Mining Appeal’ was a
local institution in great request. Mr Plunkett’s experience of the duties of
the office, coupled with his undoubted ability will make his return to the
Bench a public benefit in many ways. Mr Driscoll’s elevation from the ‘Bar’ to
the Bench will no doubt prove beneficial to suitors as the scarcity of
magistrates to transact the business of the Court of Petty Sessions regularly and
methodically has been for years a want which is now happily provided for. We
were in hopes that at least half-a-dozen magistrates would have been appointed
to Gulgong. We hope now to the hear of the Court being opened at 11am prompt.
The Minister for Mines the Hon. John Lucas arrived in Gulgong
yesterday afternoon. He is staying at Selff’s Hotel.
Gulgong Hospital At the usual monthly meeting the following
accounts were passed for payment: Dr Barnard surgeon; Bishop secretary; Holden
wardsman; Sharman meat; O’Neill Bros bread; Lyons milk; Brigden butter and
eggs; Gibbons wood; Dudley water; Choug vegetables; Lewis funeral.

the plaintiff sometime ago cannot swear it is the same goat. Mary Ann Binder sworn: I am the wife of
the defendant, I have had the goat in my possession for the past 12 months. Mary M Millan sworn: I have helped Mrs

GULGONG EVENING ARGUS - Saturday
October 14 1876
Gold in the Street A nice little nugget of gold, weighing about ¼ of an ounce, was found in the street near the Police Barracks on Tuesday.
Mr Plunkett We regret to learn that Mr J F Plunkett is confined to
his room suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism of the head.
Supposed Suicide On Friday morning the body of a man supposed to be
a miner was found on the banks of Reedy Creek with his throat cut. A large
knife was found a few yards from where the body was lying. The Coroner, T A
Browne, held an inquest on the body at Sweeney’s
Wine Shop, Martin’s Crossing place, Cassilis Road, particulars in our next
issue.
Narrow Escape On Wednesday a little boy the son of Mr Robert Heard
of Medley Street, narrowly escaped poisoning by swallowing nearly the whole
contents of a bottle of Tincture of Iodine. Luckily the child’s mother came in
at the time, and at once sent for Dr Charles Zimmler, who immediately on
arrival administered the necessary remedies and we are happy to state the
little fellow is now out of danger. This shows the necessity of parents being
careful to place dangerous drugs out of the reach of children.
Municipal Council Usual meeting with Alderman C Bird in the Chair,
O’Neill, Selff, Hunter and Tuxford present. Ald. Selff is to act as returning
office on the 14th in absence of the Mayor. The account of Shettle and Tebbutt

Police Court before the PM, TA Browne
Abusive Language Thomas Ryan on bail appeared to answer the charge
of using abusive and insulting language in a public place towards Dr Wilson
Ramsay. The accused pleaded guilty under provocation. Constable Merrin proved
the arrest and said he heard the accused call the plaintiff a @#*@ old rogue
etc. Wilson Ramsay sworn: About 10pm I was in Selff’s Hotel with Mr Bowes when
the accused came in and because I refused to give him an explanation to a
question he asked called me @#*@ old rogue.
By the accused: You wanted me to
explain why I did not appoint your place a polling booth, I refused to explain.
Constable Merrin, in answer to the Bench explained that Ryan was under the
influence of liquor. Fined 2 pounds or one months; imprisonment, fine was paid.
Correspondence
Sir—A case was heard in the
Police Court on Friday in which Mr Thomas Ryan Publican of Herbert Street was
charged with using abusive and insulting language in a public place towards Dr
Wilson Ramsay. The accused pleaded guilty, under provocation and was fined 40/-
or one months imprisonment.
Now, Mr Editor I may be wrong but
I am of the opinion the constable exceeded his duty in making the arrest as it
did not appear under the clause of the Vagrant Act the accused was arrested. The
quarrel took place in a public house and I think a summons should have been
issued. Expressions like those use are of every day occurrence and little
notice is taken of them. The apprehending constable in answer to the Bench said
the accused was under the influence of liquor at the time. Under all the
circumstances I am of the opinion that the Bench forgot that golden rules
tempering justice with mercy for a nominal fine of one to five shillings would
have been sufficient to meet all the ends of justice. I am sir, BIZARRE.
Reward 5 Pounds will be given to any person who will give such
information as will lead to the conviction of the scoundrel who has been using
my horses. JOHN H COGDON.

GULGONG EVENING ARGUS - Saturday December 30 1876
We are well aware that the Argus has latterly not been quite up to the mark but its faults must not e wholly laid at our doors for the support recently accorded to it has been but meagre and not sufficient to justify greater exertions that those we have put forth. Indeed we have been seriously debating whether we ought not, in justice to ourselves to reduce it to a weekly issue. Retrograde movements are however in this age of progression not at all to out taste and after serious consideration we have resolved to adopt other alternative and to increase out staff by the employment of a good and practised writers trusting that our efforts to improve the paper and benefit the district may be appreciated and merit the additional support we hope to be rewarded with.
Acting on this decision we
advertised in the Sydney papers and are happy to announce that we have been
fortunate enough to secure the services of Mr C T Jones, F A S L and M R A S
Eag., a literary gentleman whose credentials are of a very high order and to
whom on the January 1 next the editorial care of this journal will be
committed. Mr Jones has passed sixteen years in China, during six of which he
edited the Friends of China a
bi-weekly and the Shanghai Express a
daily paper. The previous ten years were passed by him in the British Consular
Service, an appointment in which he gained by competitive examination at Kings
College, London. He has been a considerable traveller in China and the East,
having visited Peking and all the ports open to Europeans.
In taking this step we have shown
our friends our earnest desire to merit a renewal of their support and it is
our intention on the arrival of the new editor to confer with him as to further
improvements we maybe able to introduce to the Argus. We trust we may not be
entering into a one sided bargain and that all the anticipated improvements may
not emanate from us. We candidly admit that we want our friends to do their
share and we confidently expect them in the New year now rapidly approaching to
rally round us to a man and serve their own best interest by adequately
supporting us.

Well I’m blowed! Is that you
Jack? I thought you was with the fever? Well, Tom old boy, I was very queer and
I went to my old friend OSBORNE who has opened a Public House, and got some of
his very best Martella brandy, at 5/6 per quart and that commenced to cure me;
and now I always take a pint of his celebrated Castlemaine Ale and am getting
better every day. Come on lets have a pint each, its NEW and COLD and THE BEST
in the town.
