Last evening, at about seven o'clock, a child of Mr. Betts's saw fire issuing in a large flame from the chimney of a house, in Bridgestreet, now in the occupation of Mr. Holland. The child raised an alarm, and speedily Mr. Betts and Mr. Wakeford, followed by Constable Levy, were on the spot, the two former having with them the fireladders belonging to the Liverpool and London fireengine, and some wet sacks. The speedy use of these kept the fire within the chimney, and in all probability prevented a serious conflagration. We hope it will not be much longer ere a fire-brigade is properly organized, so that, with the first cry of alarm, assistance may be found prepared to cope with an element which, let it but once get hold on a thickly-settled portion of our town, would speedily spread ruin around.

DARING ROBBERY OF TEN THOUSAND. (From the Nelson Colonist, January 29) POLICE COURT.-MONDAY, JANUARY 28TH. BEFORE Messrs. J. Poyneer, Resident Magistrate, R. K. Newcombe, and J. P. Robinson. . S. Wakeford, engineer, G. Siddels, seaman, H. Levistan, second engineer, and Thomas Scaife, purser, on board the I. R. M. Co.'s steamer Airedale, were brought up on the information of Captain Johns, acting for the Company, on suspicion of being concerned in the late robbery on board that vessel, either on the evening of Friday or early on Saturday morning last, of stealing two boxes of gold specie of the value of �10,000, the property of the I. R. M. Co. (limited) The Court, throughout the investigation, was densely crowded. Mr. Travers appeared for the Company. Francis Johns sworn : I am master of the steamship Airedale ; arrived from Sydney in that ship on Thursday last, between 6 and 7 a.m; I left Sydney on the 17th instant ; I know the persons at the bar ; they were in my ship on that voyage - S. Levistan, second engineer; "J. Wakeford, chief engineer;" Thomas Scaife, purser; G. Siddels, mariner, working his passage. I shipped two boxes supposed to contain gold, in Sydney, for this port; the boxes produced are those; I was aware myself of the contents; I was at the bank, and saw the gold weighed out, but did not see it put into the boxes; I left it to the manager of the bank. The following day, the boxes were sent to me by a cab to the Grafton Wharf, and I ordered the second mate to send hands to stow them in the mail room. I afterwards signed bill of lading for the gold. Bills of lading would have been signed by the purser, but on this occasion there was an objection on the part of the bank to the purser doing so. One of the authorities connected with the company called my attention to signing the bills of lading; I did not see them stowed away; I left that to the second mate and Burser ; gold is generally kept in the mail room if in quantities. I did not see the gold from the time it was shipped till it was picked up. The purser keeps the key of the mail room; it is his duty to take charge of the mails, &c; I do not know of any departure from that custom in this instance. On Saturday morning, the robbery was reported to me by Wakeford and Scaife outside the Wakatu Hotel, about ten o'clock. The mailroom is under the steward's pantry, on the port side of the ship ; it is about four-feet by seven, and lined with zinc, and about six feet high; the entrance is by a door opening outwards, which is secured by a hasp, staple, and padlock ; the staple has a plate, which is screwed on. The door of the room opens into the after-hold, the access to which is by a hatchway leading to the main-deck close to the engine bulkheads. The hatchway is usually kept open ; the opening into the after-hold from the cabin floor is usually closed by two hatches which open, one to port, the other to starboard. The mail-room door could be opened if the hatches in the cabin door were down; over, or resting on these hatches is a ladder, communicating with the main deck ; the hatches cannot be opened without moving the ladder ; on each side of the hatchway is a door, one leading to the steward's pantry, the other to the purser's cabin ; both these cabins communicate with the main saloon, so that the purser could have free access to the hatchway at anytime. Shortly after the arrival of the vessel in Nelson, the purser told me he was going to town to the post-office ; we brought the usual English mail with us ; I saw the mail boxes being brought on deck before we got to the wharf ; it is usual to do so in order to expedite delivery. I gave no orders with regard to the specie, being engaged on the bridge; no-one asked me anything with respect to what was to be done with it ; I think the second and third mates were engaged getting up the mail ; it is generally the place of the second mate to do that duty ; I am not sure about the third mate being present ; it is usually left to the purser and second mate to arrange about the delivery of the mail; I did not see the mail leave the ship ; when I heard of the robbery, I went immediately to Mr. Poynter, accompanied by Judge Johnson. After seeing Mr. Poynter, I saw Mr. Coleman, and we both went down to the ship. The first person I spoke to about it I believe was the chief officer. I went into the mail-room, and examined it. I found the staple had been prized off, and a chisel was shown to me by the chief mate, which was found on the water tank ; this was between ten and twelve o'clock. The plate did not appear to me to be damaged. I believe there were some mail bags in the mail-room when I went in ; there was cargo still in the after-hold. It was the duty of the second and third mates to discharge cargo under the direction of the first mate. There was cargo in the fore-hold also ; I think some flour was discharged from the after hold on Thursday; I was on board frequently during that day up to near five o'clock; I cannot say which of the mates were engaged at the after-hold ; usually the second mate has charge of it; there was nothing in the circumstance of the cargo to alter the usual practice. The fore-hold is usually under the charge of the first and third mates; the stores, such as ropes, &c.,are generally in charge of the second mate ; I was on the ship on Friday ; I went down about ten, and remained until three or four o'clock. I think there was cargo discharged from the after-hold on Friday. The ladder or lower hatches are usually hauled on to the main deck when cargo is being discharged from the after-hold; the mail room door can then be plainly seen from the purser's cabin and the hold, without any artificial light. The stores of rope are generally kept forward; I know the rope upon box marked A ; the lead upon the rope I affixed myself and is part of the ship's stores ; I used the rope and lead for a patent log-line; I believe I got the lead, from the carpenter, the piece on the other box I think I saw on the carpenter's bench on Thursday last; the rope on A was used for lashing the horse-stall on deck shortly, after we left Sydney; I can't remember last time I saw it; I am almost positive that the rope on B came out of the ship's stores; the rope on box B appears to be knotted in a nautical fashion; those on A are more carelessly done, but are also sailor fashion ; after leaving the vessel on Thursday afternoon, I came up to town, going first to West's to be shaved, and , afterwards went to Lewthwaite's; saw Mr. Coleman several times that night; slept at Lewthwaite's, and went to bed about two'o'clock, was with Mr. Coleman best part of the time; I slept at Lewthwaite's on Thursday and Friday nights, it was a single-bedded room. On Thursday night, Mr. Coleman and I went to bed at the same time; believe that Lewthwaite and Captain Dixon were there at the time he returned; it was between ten and twelve on Friday noon when I went to the ship ; she was to have sailed on Saturday. The gold was for Taranaki; it was not requisite that the gold should come to town before being sent to Taranaki. Treasure has been brought up to town and placed in the bank for security when a delay of two or three days were expected. The Lord Ashley was expected every hour ; she arrived on Friday morning. I saw Captain Kennedy that day ; I had no conversation with him about the specie ; I gave no orders for transhipment that day ; it is not my province to do so ; that is the duty which rests with the purser, who generally speaks to the captain about transhipment, but he said nothing about it; I never mentioned to any person about the gold being on board. By the Bench: The purser did not speak to me about the transhipment or anything else besides the gold. Mr. Coleman : I went to bed on Friday night about 3 o'clock on the day I received information of the robbery, I ordered a search to be made by the chief engineers with police officers ; the chief mate at that time, was about the deck working cargo, the second and third mates were also on board, engaged about the ship ; I believe there was some sugar remaining on Saturday undischarged. Mates are supposed to sleep onboard if unmarried ; the chief and second mates were married, but the wives are not in Nelson ; the third mate is a single man ; the chief engineer (Wakeford) and Siddels are married men; Scaife and Levestan are single. This was the first voyage of the chief mate, he joined us in Sydney from the steamship Victory, recently arrived from England ; the second mate came from the Manukau, is named McTaggart, he had lightering there, he had been with us six or seven months ; I had a chief officer of the name of Quance, he was transferred to the Lord Ashley on the 12th, he had come out from England with me. There have been several robberies committed in my ship within the last six months ; the first was a few months ago, when the cabin of Mr. Quance was broken into and �40 or �50 taken from it; all the robberies occurred after the second mate joined; two robberies were committed in Sydney. There is a sail room in the after-hold opposite the mail room ; I don't think there was any rope kept there ; the signals are kept in the signal box, sometimes in the saloon and sometimes in a spare bed. place ; I cannot say where they were kept last trip ; we did not signal any vessels coming down, nor in coming into the harbour. I used a patent log on leaving Sydney, but finding it incorrect I ordered it to be taken in ; that log is usually in the charge of the second and third mates ; there is no particular place for it. On the search which was made, the ship was carefully examined right through. Mr. Edwards and Mr. Hough called my attention to some marks on a post of the wharf, and the latter said he would get some fish hooks, and I gave orders to any of the officers to do so. Mr. Hough could not get the small fishing line far enough under the piles ; I don't know how long he tried ; I did not order any drags to be used. Mr. Akersten examined the whole of the crew in the saloon. The proceedings having gone so far, Captain Johns then said that he objected to the form of the information ; he acted under the orders of Mr. Coleman, rather than any suspicions that he himself entertained against the parties at the bar. Mr. Travers said in that case it seemed that he had been mis-instructed. Captain Johns ought to have made himself clear upon the position involved. He would, however, beg that the Court might be adjourned for half an hour in order to confer with the agent of the company. Adjourned accordingly. Upon reassembling, Mr, Travers said that, in consequence of Captain Johns objecting to the previous proceedings, no further prosecution of the case on his part could be taken. Mr. Connell held that nothing had been elicited to implicate his clients, and the resident magistrate concurring, said the defendants must be discharged, and they were dismissed accordingly. Mr. Travers said the boxes of gold would be sent on to Taranaki without breaking them open, as doing so might vitiate the insurance. The gold, however, could be taken out at Taranaki by making an opening in then, and the boxes and ropes. Could then be returned to Nelson in case they should be wanted for any further proceedings that might be taken. The Court then broke up, after an examination of about three hours. The case attracted every numerous attendance of persons, and the day being a close one, the wretchedly narrow limits of the court-house were plainly and unpleasantly obvious in the warm faces and cramped positions of most of those whose business or curiosity led them there. Shortly afterwards a warrant was issued against Captain Johns, who was taken into custody upon a similar charge, RECOVERY OF THE GOLD.-It appears that the gold was searched for by a person named Garrard, under the direction of the Nelson agent, who seemed to think that the harbour should be the first place where an attempt ought to be made to find the missing treasure. This happily led to the discovery of one of the boxes in close proximity to the wharf on Sunday last, and shortly after, during the temporary absence of Garrard, a youth named Bichards, left in charge of the dregs lighted upon the second box, thus both were luckily recovered. The boxes having been produced at Court, were afterwards sent to the Union Bank, previous to their transmission to Taranaki by the Lord Ashley. The Sydney Morning Herald... Thursday 21 February 1861, page 8 NEW ZEALAND. THE LATE ROBBERY OF �10,000. CAPTAIN JOHNS, late master of the intercolonial steamer, Airedale; after the dismissal of Samuel Wakeford, chief engineer, Henry Levestan, second engineer, Thomas Scaife, purser, and George Siddals, mariner - was brought up, charged with having stolen from the said ship, between the hours of six o'clock in the morning of Thursday, the 24th day of January, and nine o'clock on the morning of the 26th day of January, 1861, two boxes of gold specie, of the value of �10,000. Several witnesses having been examined, Captain Johns, at the suggestion of the magistrates, requested to be remanded until the 7th instant; by which time it is expected the Airedale will have arrived; which, no doubt, will bring the second mate, McTaggart, for the apprehension of whom, a warrant has been issued. At the request of the magistrates, the report of the evidence in support of the charge will not be published until it is concluded -Nelson Examiner, February 2 AIREDALE Vessel ID: 1020475 ON: 20475 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Details: Steamer Source: Wreck book Title: [Images of vessels from 'Rediscovered NZ shipwrecks.

Hope this helps somewhat, Dale in New Zealand -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IGI Individual Record FamilySearch� International Genealogical Index v5.0 British Isles SAMUEL WAKEFIELD Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: 11 MAR 1827 Alverstoke, Hampshire, England Death: Burial: Parents: Father: WILLIAM WAKEFIELD Family Mother: MARIA Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record.
