Pulbrook v Guigni. This was a case in which the plaintiff and defendant had been to a ball and some dispute had arisen relative to their claim to dance with a certain young lady. After the ball defendant was holding a conversation with Mr. T. Smith, of Queen Street, when Pulbrook interrupted them, whereupon some very angry words ensued and the plaintiff struck at the defendant, knocking his hat off. They then closed and had a wrestle, defendant during the struggle bit the thumb of plaintiff, drawing blood, he had to pay 21/- to Dr. Forbes for the attendance.
Mr. Spring appeared for defendant, said plaintiff had been in the wrong from the commencement. If the defendant had bitten the plaintiff’s thumb it was only to make him release his hold on a valuable dress-coat which he was holding on to. Fined 20/- or seven days imprisonment. The plaintiff then produced the doctors account but the Bench refused to make an order for the payment, considering that the plaintiff had brought the quarrel on himself.

1892 - DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DUBBO
A very destructive fire broke out in Dubbo shortly after 5 o'clock on Monday morning. It origirnated in the front portion of R. Chapman's general store and spread so quickly that scarcely any of his valiable stock, amounting in value to about £8000, was saved. His private residence at the back of the shop was also destroyed. With dificulty the Liberal office was saved. The main portion of the fire travelled along Macquarie-street, consuming Rees' fruit and refreshment rooms, C. Guigni's tobacconist and watchmaker's shop, T. B. Graham's chemist's shop, also his book depot and stationery shop next door, and E. Uttley's music and piano warehouse. Owing to a new parapet wall dividing this last place and T. Link's new shop, the latter's place was saved. The total loss is roughly estimated at between £20,000 and £25,000, not one-half of which is covered by insurance. The property was insured for only £1400. This is the most disastrous fire that has ever occurred in Dubbo. There is nothing at present to show how the fire originated, but an inquest will be held in a day or two, when the mystery may be cleared up.
1889 - [POLICE GAZETTE]
Dubbo.—On the morning of the 28th ultimo a number of shops, situate at Dubbo, occupied by Bichard Chapman and others, were destroyed by fire; and at an adjourned inquest held before the District Coroner the following verdict was returned “That the fire at Chapman’s store, Davies’ Buildings, occurred on the morning of the 28th January, 1889, but how the fire originated there is no evidence to determine; that the shops containing goods belonging to Messrs. Guigni, Graham, and Uttloy were destroyed by the fire which originated at Chapman’s.” The buildings and contents were insured in various Insurance Offices.

Alderman Field wanted to know what was done in the matter of the complaint respecting Mr. C. Guigni.

They should not make fish of one and flesh of another. He also directed attention to the state of the flat generally.

John Kelly pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness, and was fined 2s 6d, in default imprisonment 'till the rising of the Court. He was further charged with stealing two spoons and one fork, the property of Charles Guigni.
Constable Cole deposed that when arresting defendant on previous day he searched him and found on him two spoons and one fork branded "CG." and "M.G."; he said they were given to him; that (Monday) morning; he said he did not know how they got there—some one must have put them in his pockets.
Chas. Guigni, hotelkeeper, Macquarie street, identified defendant as a man who stayed at his hotel on Saturday night; identified the spoons and forks as his (witness's) property; valued them at 2s; did not think defendant would have taken the articles had he been in his sober senses. Defendant elected to be dealt with summarily. He made a rambling statement in defence, and said he was a contractor; he knew nothing of the circumstance, and was willing to make any reparation.
The police said they knew nothing against defendant's character, and did not press for a heavy penalty. Defeadant entered the box and gave evidence on his own behalf, and repeated his statements that he knew nothing of the matter; he was mixing some salts on previous day, and being the worse for liquor might have put the spoons in his pocket; he stopped at the hotel on Saturday because he was too "top-heavy" to go home. His Worship said he did not think there was a felonious intent. He dismissed the
case.
Influenza is still dominant. Mr. C. Guigni, of the Club House Hotel, is laid up with pleurisy and lung congestion, following the disease. It is pleasing to know that he is satisfactorily advancing to recovery.

Sergeant Butler deposed to the arrest of defendant on previous evening, when she was in the company of a number of white men apparently intoxicated; she had no fixed place of abode, and refused to live with the general body of aboriginals, who were provided with camps and rations by the authorities; she was of generally disreputable character.
The charge was then altered to that of being an idle and disorderly person, and a common prostitute.
Charles Guigni, licensed hotelkeeper, gave evidence in support.
Sergeant Butler deposed that defendant was a women of immoral character, and simply incorrigible; he was very reluctant to take action against any of the aboriginals, but defendant's conduct and mode of life was a public scandal.

She sustained a number of contusions to the head and face, and received a severe shock, Miss Grey also had some severe bruises to the head. The two girls were taken into Mr. Brownlow's place, and Miss Guigni rode into town for a sulky and brought the sufferers home.

1904 - Wedding. Ogilvie— Giugni.
THE union of two of the best known and most respected of the younger generation of Dubbo residents — yesterday (Tuesday) brought together a crowded assemblage of their many friends, the occasion being the wedding of William B. Ogilvie, fifth son of the late J. G. Ogilvie of Hobart, Tasmania, and Stella the fourth daughter of the late Charles Giugni of Dubbo, at St. Brigid's Church. The Rev. Father Brophy officiated. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her brother, Mr. Charles Giugni, was given away by her mother, and wore white embossed chiffon over ivory duchess satin. The bodice was trimmed with silk applique, and had angel sleeves of accordian pleated embroidered chiffon. Streamers of chiffon trimmed with orange blossoms fell from the left shoulder. The skirt was beautifully frilled with ivory chiffon and edged with bebe ribbon, and fell in graceful folds on to a handsome peacock train. A lung tulle veil fell from a coronet of orange blossoms and a shower boquet of white roses, carnations, and asparagus fern completed a most beautiful bridal costume. The only jewellery worn by the bride was a diamond ring, the gift of the bridegroom, and a diamond bangle the gift of her mother.
The chief bridesmaid, Miss Nellie Giugni, wore cream canvas voile over glace silk, with white chiffon hat, and carried a beautiful bouquet of yellow narcissus and ferns. Her gold bamboo bangle was the gift of the bridegroom. Misses Victoria Giugni and Olive Mumford were also in attendance on the bride, and were attired in white muslin, trimmed with duchesse lace. They wore gold monogram brooches, the gifts of the bridegroom, and carried baskets of pink roses, carnations, and maiden-hair fern. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. Herbert Ogilvie. Mrs. Giugni, mother of the bride, was attired in a handsome gown of black velvet, trimmed with corded silk and drop ornaments, and wore some magnificent diamonds and a fine Gainsborough hat of black velvet.
The bridal party stood under a lovely arch of roses, marguerites and ferns. The church had been decorated by the many friends of the bride with festoons of roses and while satin ribbon. The choir sang "The Voice that breathed o'er Eden" as the bride entered the church, and at the conclusion of the ceremony Mr. C. R. Young [Jnr] played the Wedding March from "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Wedding cake and wine were partaken of after the ceremony at the residence of the bride's mother, and the happy couple left by the mail for Orange, the bride wearing a beautiful trevelling dress of grey and blue flecked tweed, trimmed with blue velvet and guipure applique, and white hat trimmed with ermine and a large white dove. The station was crowded with friends of the bride and bride-groom, who were showered with rice, flowers and confetti.
A wedding of considerable interest to this district was solemnised in St Brigid's (R.C.) Church this afternoon, when Mr. William B. Ogilvie, fifth son of the late J. G. Ogilvie of Hobart, Tasmania, was united to Miss Stella Guigni, second daughter of the late Mr. Charles Guigni, an old resident of this town. The bridesmaids were Miss Nellie and Victoria Guigni and Miss O. Mumford, while the bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. H. Ogilvie. Refreshments were after the ceremony partaken of at the residence of the bride's mother.
