I bought my copy a few years ago . On the surface its to do with cattle duffing but is alot more involved with the the arrival of Richard BOURKE as Governor of the Colony and local BW land holders and even James MUDIE of Castle Forbes was in the background as he wasnt re appointed as a JP . Alured Tasker FAUNCE was instead who was a new chum. William BRAMBLE had been in this area for a couple of years when this blew up . Bye MargM Hunter Valley List Admin

MargM's reference to the Brisbane Water cases prompted me to look these cases up on the Macquarie Uni web site. The reports of old cases make for fascinating reading and they are a potential source of information on ancestors. Most of the reports are from the press - such as the Sydney Gazette. The following link is to the case that mentions William Bramble. http://www.law.mq.edu.au/scnsw/Cases1838-39/html/faunce_v_cavenagh__1838.htm Jan Daly ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Thankyou Marg. I can see it's a hard to find one... and the libraries that have it have a tight leash on it! Have replied to Marje offlist.
