Note: ------------------------------------------------------ Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Saturday 20 May 1893 Richmond Police Court. WEDNESDAY, May 17th. Before W. Lamrock, J.P. William John London, arrested on a warrant, charged with stealing a bag of maize, in the husk, the property of Herbert Charles Ezzy, at Comleroy-road, Kurrajong, valued at 5/-. Senr-Constable McNeely deposed that between 5 and 6 o'clock on that morning, witness, in company with Constable Armstrong and Alexander, arrested accused in his house at Howes' Creek, Kurrajong, on a warrant. When witness read the warrant to accused, he replied, " I don't deny I took two or three cobs, I was coming from fishing, I had no bag." Witness asked accused if there was anyone with him and defendant said, "There was no one with me at the time I took the cobs." He also said Ezzy was the owner of the cobs. Witness arrested accused and brought him to Richmond Lockup, and asked for a remand till Tuesday, 23rd inst., for the attendance of necessary witnesses. Remanded until 23rd inst., bail allowed self in 50p and two sureties of 25p each. At a later period in the day, two sureties were found, and accused was released. ------------------------------------------------------------ Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Saturday 14 October 1893, page 3 The Minister has declined to remit the sentence passed upon William London for maize-stealing a few weeks ago. A petition was largely signed by Kurrajong residents for a remission of the sentence. ------------------------------------------------------------ Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Saturday 8 January 1898, page 4 RICHMOND. The number of typhoid cases at Kurrajong at present reminds one of the time when the late Dr Jockel was practising in Richmond. The outbreak was then so great that it was found necessary to erect tents to accommodate the sufferers and keep them aloof from those who were lucky enough to escape the malady. etc. Mr. W. London, of Kurrajong, and his three children are at present laid up with typhoid fever. Mr Fred Butcher has also had a severe attack of the same complaint. --------------------------------------------------------------- Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Saturday 13 October 1906, page 14 COMLEROY ROAD. MR W. London, who had just returned from a trip to the shearing sheds, had the misfortune to lose 30p on Saturday last. It was, however, picked up and handed to its owner the day following. ------------------------------------------------------ A rather amusing sequel to the sensation on Saturday last by Mr Bill London's misfortune, mentioned above, was told to the writer on Monday night. It appears that Mr London had left his money in charge of his daughter, who discovered her loss on the way to Richmond. She was driving fast immediately ahead of Mr Jack Myers, who was proceeding in the same direction. Without any warning to Jack to shut off steam, she pulled abruptly up, with the result that Jack's horse and cart went crashing into the vehicle in front, breaking off both shafts. Nothing daunted, he pluckily hitched himself to the cart (a rather light conveyance) and continued his rounds with the horse faithfully following up behind. The chaff genial Jack was subjected to failed to disturb his equanimity a bit, his only expressed regret being that the horse couldn't get up and handle the reins, thus completing the joke. ----------------------------------------------------- Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Saturday 9 April 1910, page 4 COLO SHIRE COUNCIL The full Council were present at the ordinary meeting held on March 30 MOTIONS. The following motions were carried:- By Cr Anderson, - That the engineer instruct Ganger Sully to put a culvert across the road, on road Comleroy via Slopes to Esther's Lane, opposite Mr W London's property, at an estimated cost of 1p. ------------------------------------------------------ Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Saturday 30 April 1910, page 12 COLO SHIRE COUNCIL At the last ordinary meeting the full Council were present, the President in the chair. ENGINEER'S REPORT Mr. Adam, engineer, brought up the following report, which was adopted, with the exception of the cause relation to Rev. H. Tate's application:- I gave instructions to Ganger Sully to place culverts on road Comleroy via Slopes to Eather's Lane, opposite W. London's property. ------------------------------------------------------ Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Saturday 21 October 1911, page 6 COMLEROY. This district looks splendid, and there is plenty of bloom for next season. All hands admit this is about the best spring ever experienced about the Kurrajong. Messrs Percy Norris, Guy Hungerford, Fred Norris, W. Turner, and W. London each have a nice bit of citrus fruit left yet. There are also some nice crops of peas which were started on this week. Mr Percy Norris. has about 2 acres as good as could be looked at, and Mr Anthony Quinn has a few acres that will be fit to pull about a week hence. They are worth looking at. Labor in the district is very scarce indeed. Men that handle the plough and hoe are apparently more independent than the owners of orchards. There is to be a meeting of the promoters of the Woodtraders' picnic, at Mrs Phipps' Exchange Hotel, North Richmond, on Wednesday next, to see about the annual sports, the date of which is approaching. They usually have a good day's sports - bicycle racing, woodchopping, running, jumping, etc. Until the committee meets on Wednesday next they do not know what they will do this time. -------------------------------------------------------- Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 1888 - 1954), Friday 27 July 1917, page 9 THE MILITARY MEDAL ANOTHER BRAVE HAWKESBURY BOY.
