Hi List I am chasing information on Edwin Gostwyck Cory who arrived 12 Sept. 1823 in Sydney Aus. He had a property called " Vineyard Cottage" somewhere around the Hunter or Manning. If anyone has any information I would love to hear from you. TIA Colin Roberts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade Outlook® - Add COLOR to your Emails Outlook® is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation

Found on Google- The Monitor, 25th August 1826 NEWCASTLE QUARTER SESSIONS PRESENTMENT The Grand Jurors of our Sovereign Lord the King now assembled in the town of Newcastle, the 15th day of August, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and twenty six, present to the Court of Quarter Sessions, that they have visited the Gaol of Newcastle, which, on attentive examination, they found clean, and in good order; the provisions good, sufficient, and wholesome; the Gaol itself sufficiently spacious for the accommodation of the district. The Grand Jurors cannot avoid remarking the bad state of the public Wells in the town, one only, out of two, being imperfectly covered. The Grand Jurors present the dilapidated state of the Wharf at Newcastle. The Grand Jurors have felt it their duty to visit the Church-yard, which, for want of a fence, has been made a thoroughfare; the pigs being permitted to root the graves,; they have also examined the ruinous state of the Church, and find the walls in a dilapidated state, the same not having been originally built perpendicular. The Grand Jurors embrace this (their first) opportunity of observing, there is but one place of Public Worship in this large and increasing district. The Grand Jurors present the absolute necessity of the immediate erection of a Bridge over the creek, at Wallis' plains, for the preservation of the lives and the property of His Majesty's subjects; the creek only being fordable after a long drought. Rain, or a fresh in the river, renders it not only dangerous, but almost impossible to cross, without the assistance of a boat, which is not at command. The Grand Jurors beg to call the attention of Government to the state of the Roads, and respectfully recommend, that a person be nominated to survey and mark out the continuation of a line of Road from the town of Newcastle through the several districts, His Majesty's subjects suffering much inconvenience from the present tracks being obstructed by fences of the landed proprietors; as also that a Punt be placed in a central situation to forward the communication. The Grand Jurors present the very great evil arising from the total want of Lock-up-houses, for the reception of male and female prisoners, at Paterson's and Patrick's Plains. The Grand Jurors cannot close, without assuring the Court, that they only bring to their notice a few of the most important and absolute wants of this extensive and populous district.
