Hello Listers Some of you may be interested in the new set of microfiche indexes from the Ballarat Genealogical Society. The set is: Ballarat East Petty Sessions, Series VPRS 290/P, Part 1, (1858-1889) "For two years a team of volunteers from the Ballarat & District Genealogical Society Inc has been engaged in this indexing project. Many thousands of entries from 27 of the old court registers have been transcribed into a database of approximately 55,000 names. Now a surname index is available as a set of 15 microfiche. This will prove to be a valuable resource for family historians who are tracing the people of the first and second generation in the Ballarat area. Ballarat East was located on the alluvial flats and hills lying east of the Yarrowee Creek and in the main, occupied the site of the original canvas town of the early diggings in the area where the Eureka Rebellion took place in 1854. The first case presented in the Ballarat East Court of Petty Sessions was heard on 4 July 1858. It was brought against John Hollam for "wilfully destroying a fence", but the complaint was dismissed. In the first week, Maurice M Ellis was fined 1 shilling for holding a lottery at the Montezuma Theatre Ballarat, the prize for which was a nugget of gold, known as the Nil Desperandum Nugget. Two days later George Buchanan was fined the much larger amount of 5 shillings for "neglecting to clean his private yard". So began the colourful collection of tales which were recorded in the court books....."

October 18, 1918 A charge against Thomas WARD, of Bungalally, with having, at Bungalally, on September 24, urged a dog to attack a calf, was dismissed, costs being refused. William PHILLIPS was charged with having been found on the premises of the Exchange Hotel, Horsham, at a time when the premises should not be open for the sale of liquor. Evidence given by the defendant contradicted that of the police and the case was adjourned till November 8. For having failed to attend drill, Alfred GROSS was sent to Queenscliffe for 7 days, and Archibald Baden PEARSON was ordered in the custody of the prescribed authority to complete the duties he had evaded. William Henry GORDON, who had previously been charged eight times, was fined 2s 6d, in default one day at Queenscliffe, in addition to the eight days which he has to complete there.

October 18, 1918 The attention of Mr E. HARRISON P.M., was occupied for some hours at the Horsham Police Court on Friday in a case involving a claim for wages, including a set-off which included the price of a mare which, it was alleged, had been sold to the plaintiff. Christopher Baden PARISH, a youthful farm laborer, sought to recover from Herbert Edwin GIDDINGS, farmer of Garup, £11/0/6, balance of money due as wages. There was a dispute as to the rate of pay for portions of service, and a difference as to the amount already paid, whilst the defendant claimed £10/10 for the sale of a mare to plaintiff. The case was adjourned till October 25 to enable further witnesses to be called. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/

August 2, 1918 Buggy Accidents Mrs Andrew MEWETT was driving home from Natimuk with her son Norman when the wheel of the buggy struck a post at the railway crossing west of the state school, the pole being broken and the horses being set free. Mrs MEWETT retained her seat in the buggy, but the boy was thrown out and stunned for a little while. Next day the horses were found on the Mount road about a mile from home. Mrs James FLACK and family, of Noradjuha, were driving down a hill at Lower Norton on Wednesday week when the buggy pole snapped. The sudden stop threw Mrs FLACK and her three children on to the ground. One of the children, with great presence of mind, stuck to the reins until the others were got out of danger. When the horses were released they bolted home with the harness dangling about them. Mrs FLACK sustained bruises and shock. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/

June 14, 1918 Mrs T. GRACE of "Crowlans" has received word of the sudden death of her brother, Mr PAYNE, of Numurkah. He was well and favourably known here, having resided here for a number of years. News reached us yesterday just prior to going to press that Mrs MULRANEY, wife of Mr John MULRANEY, of Minimay, slipped and fell and broke her leg. She was then removed to the Goroke Cottage Hospital, under the care of Dr. BIRD. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/

May 24, 1918 Obituary Mrs MARGARETTA FULTON A profound gloom will be cast over this district when it becomes known that the death occurred on Friday last, 17th May, at the Women's Hospital, Melbourne of Mrs Margaretta FULTON, late of Natimuk and Goroke.

June 14, 1918 Death at Morea Mrs H.C. STEHN Both our Goroke and Minimay correspondents send us details of the death of Mrs H.C.STEHN, senior, of Morea, and they voice the general regret felt locally at the passing away of such an old and highly respected resident. Mrs STEHN was of a homely disposition, and that she enjoyed the esteem of a large circle of friends was evidenced by the many mourners who formed the cortege which followed her remains to the Goroke cemetery on Tuesday. Mrs STEHN, who had reached the advanced age of 76, arrived in Australia 50 years ago, first settling with her husband at Point McLeay South Australia, where they were engaged in farming pursuits for a number of years, removing from there to Tooan East, finally settling at Morea, where they took up land and farmed it until they were called to the Great Beyond, where there is no toil and all is peace. Mrs STEHN had a family of ten---Mrs HERMANN (Patyah), John (deceased), Carl (Morea), Heinrich (Morea), and Ernest (on active service with the A.I.F.), Mesdames W. ROBINSON (deceased), Mrs J. ROBINSON (Booroopki), and R. ROBINSON (Booroopki), and Misses Annie and Louise STEHN (Morea). Mr STEHN's died about three years ago. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/

May 24, 1918 Obituary Mrs CATHERINE CREEK The death occurred at her residence at the corner of Wilson and Darlot streets, Horsham, on Saturday last, of Mrs Catherine CREEK, relict of the late Mr John CREEK, who died in West Australia seven years ago. The deceased lady was 76 years of age, and was a native of Melbourne. She was married in Mt. Gambier, and had lived for several years in Horsham. She left two sons (Messrs. John and William) and two daughters (Selina and Catherine). The funeral took place at the Horsham cemetery on Sunday afternoon, and was well attended by a large number of the deceased lady's relatives and friends. The service at the graveside was conducted by Mr J. R. COMBRIDGE, minister in charge of the Church of Christ. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/

May 24, 1918 Obituary Mr Robert McRAE The death occurred at Windsor on Thursday of last week, of Mr Robert McRAE, who had with his brother, Kenneth, recently left Clear Lake, where they had resided, save for a brief spell at Hamilton, for a long number of years. The two brothers were closely attached to one another, were almost inseparable in fact and the severing of this life long tie is a heavy blow to the surviving brother. Mr Robert McRAE was born in Scotland, and he and his two brothers (the late Mr Donald McRAE, of Tooan was also a brother) came out to Victoria in the early days, and followed grazing pursuits. Robert, who never married, was about 70 years of age. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/
