PRINCE ALFRED, AT CLONTARF.IT is with the deepest sorrow that we have to announce a most determined attempt to assassinate his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. When the Prince left the luncheon tent at the Sailors' Home Picnic (a report of which will be found in another column), he escorted the Countess of Belmore to the door of the Royal tent, and then turned to converse with his Excellency the Governor, the Chief Justice, and Sir William Manning. They remained talking a few seconds, and then his Royal Highness and Sir William Manning sauntered across the green towards the clump of trees bordering the beach, and under which the Galatea Band was stationed. The subject of conversation was the Sailors' Home, and his Royal Highness, to mark his appreciation of the institution, handed Sir William a cheque as a donation to the institution. Sir William made his acknowledgments for the donation, and then asked his Royal Highness whether he would go round to Cabbage Tree Beach to see the aboriginals, as they were then ready for some sports. Before his Royal Highness could reply a treacherous assailant, who had just left the crowd of persons congregated under the shade of the trees, stole up behind him and when he had approached to within five or six feet pulled out a revolver, took deliberate aim, and fired. The shot took effect about the middle of the back of his Royal Highness, an inch or two to the right of the spine. He fell forward on his hands and knees, exclaiming, " Good God, my back is broken." Sir William Manning, hearing the discharge, and seeing his Royal Highness fall, turned and sprang at the would-be assassin, who then jumped back and aimed the murderous weapon at Sir William. Seeing the pistol directed towards him, Sir William stooped to evade the shot, and, losing his balance, fell. Fortunately the charge did not explode; but as Sir William Manning was an the act of rising, the ruffian took aim a third time; just at the moment Mr. Vial (of Castlereagh-street), who happened to be behind, sprang upon the dastardly assailant, pinioned his arms to his side, and thus the aim of the pistol was diverted from the body of Sir William Manning to the ground. The weapon was discharged, however, and the shot entered the foot of Mr. George Thorne, senior, who fainted, and was taken away by Mr. Hassall, and other friends.In the meantime a number of people, attracted by the discharge of firearms, and seeing his Royal Highness fall, ran to the spot, and three or four of them, among whom was Mr. T. Hales and a young gentleman named M'Mahon, lifted his Royal Highness to carry him into his tent. It was evident from the demeanour of his Royal Highness that he was suffering great pain, and he asked his bearers to carry him gently. This wish was complied with as far as possible, and thus he was borne into his tent. Here he was taken in charge by Dr. Watson, of H. M. S. Challenger, who together with Dr. Wright (of Sydney), Dr. Powell of the Galatea, and Assistant-surgeon Waugh of the Challenger, were immediately in attendance. The dress of his Royal Highness was removed, and upon an examination of the wound it was found that the bullet had penetrated the back, near the middle, and about two inches from the right side of the lower part of the spine, traversing the course of the ribs, round by the right to the abdomen, where it lodged, immediately below the surface. No vital organ, fortunately, appeared to be injured, the course of the bullet being, to all appearance, quite superficial.While this painful examination was in progress another scene, which almost defies description, was going on in another part of the ground. No sooner had Mr. Vial grasped the arms of the man who had fired the shots, than Mr. Benjamin Mortimer (an American gentleman), Mr. Whiting (of the firm of Drynan and Whiting), A. L. Jackson, and other gentlemen seized him; and, had it not been for the closing in around them of the police and other persons, they would speedily have placed him beyond the reach of the Law Courts. The people shouted "lynch him," "hang him," "string him up," and so on, and there was a general rush to get at him. The police, headed by Superintendent Orridge, got hold of the assassin, and they had the greatest difficulty in preventing the infuriated people from tearing him limb from limb. In this the police were ably assisted by the Chief Justice, Lord Newry, and the men of the Galatea Band. Both Lord Newry and Sir Alfred Stephen exerted themselves to get the prisoner on board the steamer lying at the wharf, while Mr. Orridge, with herculean strength, kept back the crowd as much as possible. The task of putting the prisoner on board the ship was not an easy one, and it was fully ten minutes before they could get him on to the wharf. By that time all the clothing from the upper part of his body was torn off, his eyes, face, and body were much bruised, and blood was flowing from various wounds; and when he was dragged on to the deck of the Paterson, he appeared to be utterly unconscious. No sooner was he on board than a number of sailors had a rope ready to string him up, and it was only by the interference of Lord Newry that his life was spared. Some of the police were very roughly used, detective Powell getting about the worst of it. In the scuffle he fell over some stones, and had a chance of being trampled to death. The whole of the police on the ground were under the command of Mr. Fosbery.The people, out of whose hands the prisoner had been rescued, immediately gave vent to their disappointment, and, at, an indignation meeting, summarily convened, determined to bring him back from the steamer, and dispatch him at the scene of his crime. A rush was then made for the steamer, which had just hauled off a few feet from the wharf, and they shouted to the captain to haul in. For a moment this officer appeared to waver, but the Hon. John Hay, who was on the bridge, doubt-less divining the intentions of the crowd, peremptorily ordered the captain to haul off. This he did, and the vessel accordingly proceeded on her way to Sydney.The effect of this dastardly attempt at assassinating the Prince, among the immense number of persons congregated at Clontarf, may be more easily imagined than described. A large number of ladies fainted, others were seized with hysterics, and the whole multitude was convulsed. Suddenly a joyous throng had been converted into a mass of excited people, in whose breasts sympathy for the Royal sufferer, and indignation for his murderous assailant, alternately prevailed; while pallid faces and tearful eyes told of the deep anxiety that was felt in reference to the extent of the injuries which his Royal Highness had sustained. People crowded by hundreds around the tent in which the sufferer lay, until they were informed that they must keep back, in order to allow free ventilation; they at once fell back thirty or forty yards and formed a complete cordon around the tent, and anxiously awaited the result of the examination. Finding the people so anxious about him his Royal Highness said "Tell the people I am not much hurt, I shall be better presently." His Royal Highness, who never lost consciousness, although feeling faint and weak from the shock to his nervous system, and from loss of blood, described to his attendants the sensation he experienced when struck by the bullet. He said he felt as though he was being lifted off the ground.At about five o'clock his Royal Highness was placed on a litter, and borne by men of the Galatea to the deck of the Morpeth, a solemn silence being preserved by the people, who stood on either side while the cortege passed. Among those who were in immediate attendance on his Royal Highness were the gentlemen of his suite, namely Lieutenant Haig, Lord Newry, and the Hon. Eliot Yorke, all of whom were painfully affected by the tragic occurrence. His Excellency the Governor, Commodore Lambert, Captain Beresford and Mr. Toulmin were also most assiduous in their sympathetic attentions, and proceeded to Sydney in the same boat. Prior to this the little steamer Fairy had been sent up to Sydney with a message for the officer in charge of the Galatea, to be prepared with a boat to convey the Royal sufferer to the shore; and when the Morpeth arrived off Farm Cove a barge from the Galatea came alongside. The Prince, who was lying upon a stretcher with a soft mattress under him, and his head supported by pillows, was lowered into his barge which was manned by a number of his own sailors. On arriving at the landing place he was carefully raised out of the boat. Rumours of the occurrence having reached town, large numbers of persons rushed to the jetty in front of Government House, where it was presumed the Prince would land. Here a body of police and marines were posted - some of them guarding the approach from the wharf to Government House, and others forming near the landing-place, in order to escort his Royal Highness. The crowd forced back to the high ground, and kept at some distance from the chosen line of route.The Prince was surrounded by a guard of marines, and the sight of his prostrate and help-less condition called forth from the crowd many expressions of sympathy.Upon the arrival of the Paterson at the wharf, the prisoner was landed and conveyed in charge of Mr. Orridge to the gaol. O'Farrell is a fair complexioned man, about five feet eleven inches in height, and apparently about five and thirty years of age. He has a slight beard and moustache, and a military air. He is perfectly self-possessed, is said to be a man of good education, and in manner is not unpleasing. He was dressed in a dark coat and trousers and white waistcoat. His clothes were torn to ribbons by the excited crowd, and he received many severe bruises, his eyes being blackened, his nose swelled very much, and his lips puffed out like those of a negro. According to his own statements - although he says very little and maintains much reticence with respect to him-self and the motives of his dastardly deed - he is a native of Dublin, but left Ireland at a very early age. He has been in many countries, has spent a considerable time on the European continent, and in America, and about three months ago came from Victoria to New South Wales. He has expressed a hope that the Prince would not die, and says that he did not mean to kill, but merely to "frighten him " - a statement which is absurd upon the face of it. Two revolvers were found on him, one of which had not been discharged, and every chamber of which was loaded, - the other, the weapon, with which the attempt at assassination was committed, was picked up by one of the Galatea's bandsmen after the prisoner's capture. The latter is a small Colt's revolver, such as could easily be carried in the pocket.Late in the afternoon a rumour was brought to the Legislative Assembly that the Prince was shot. The correctness of the information was doubted, and it was not until a reply to an inquiry was sent from the detective office, stating that a shot had been fired at the Prince, and that a person or persons were in custody, that the report was believed. Meantime Superintendent Orridge went up to the House, and reported that a man was in custody, and that he had conveyed him to the gaol. The House was at once adjourned. The Colonial Secretary, Mr. Parkes, proceeded to the gaol and saw the prisoner. He ascertained that his name was H. F. O'Farrell, that he slept on Wednesday night at the Clarendon Hotel, corner of George and Hunter streets. The Colonial Secretary asked him how he came to commit such an outrage, to which he replied, "Come, come, it is not fair to ask me such a question as that the Prince is all right - the Prince will live, you need not fear about him - it's only a side wound - I shall be hanged but the Prince will live." On leaving the gaol the Colonial Secretary taking with him two police constables went to the Clarendon Hotel. The people there knew nothing about the affair beyond hearing a rumour that the Prince had been shot. They admitted that such a man as the prisoner was described to be, had lived there, and the room in which he had slept was at once searched. Some articles of wearing apparel were found in a broken box and in a table drawer. In various places (in the drawer and in the pockets of his clothes) were found percussion caps, de-tonating cartridges, wadding for revolvers, a Douay Bible, and a number of religious books, in which his name was inscribed. Having secured these things, the Colonial Secretary ascertained that O'Farrell had been in Sydney from about Christmas last, and that whilst the Prince has been here whenever the other lodgers in the house spoke of him this man got out of temper, and denounced him. He went out on Tuesday evening to go to the ball; but, for some reason, did not get in, and came back. The Colonial Secretary also ascertained that he had lived at Tierney's Currency Lass Hotel, corner of Pitt and Hunter streets; and to that house they proceeded. Here, in a box, said to belong to O'Farrell, they found a number of articles of clothing and some written papers, from which it was shown that he had resided in Melbourne.It is almost impossible to describe the sensation which the news of the outrage produced in the city. When first heard it was treated as a mere rumour; many persons saw the police take the prisoner from the Paterson, but considered him merely some fellow who had got his clothes torn in a drunken brawl. It was not until the an-nouncement was made in the Assembly, and that the members on retiring mentioned the fact, that the news received any credence. The excitement was intensified by the appearance of a party of mounted police dashing at full speed towards the Circular Quay; a party of foot police, fully armed, followed and took up their positions opposite the landing-stage, where it was reported that the Prince would be landed. Several thousand citizens were assembled about the wharf and on board the vessels lying alongside, where they remained until information was received that the Prince had been taken to Government House. The police then withdrew, and the people dispersed. A member of our staff, who had started from Clontarf for the city directly after the outrage was perpetrated, brought the particulars, which were immediately printed, and some thousands dis-tributed, and eagerly read. The streets were thronged with people, whose sole topic appeared to be the sad event; it was evident that some gigantic calamity, affecting all classes of the people, had taken place, and spread sorrow throughout the entire community. At the Prince of Wales Theatre, where his Royal Highness had announced his intention of being present on the occasion of Mr. Hoskins' benefit, a notice was posted, that in consequence of the dastardly outrage on the person of H. R. H. the Duke of Edinburgh, the theatre was closed for the night. At the School of Arts Dr. Carr announced that in consequence of the calamity which had fallen upon the colony in the attempted assassination of the Duke of Edinburgh, it would be unseemly for any entertainment being given; the audience at once acquiesced. Up to midnight many persons were assembled at the doors of our office, desirous of learning the latest news, and expressing their sympathy for the Royal sufferer. An immense crowd also assembled at the gates leading to Government House, and anxiously enquired of persons coming from that direction, how the Prince was progressing. The Bishop of Sydney, together with the Ministers and other gentlemen, called at Government House yesterday evening, but could not see the Prince. Miss Osborne was in attendance, and one of the nursing sisters remained during the night. His Royal Highness could not lie down. There was no appearance of hemorrhage. The medical gentlemen speak favourably of the case, as the Prince has youth, health, and a good constitution in his favour.Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Tuesday 17 March 1868, page 1TO GEORGE RENWICK, Esq., J.P., Mayor of Redfern.-Sir,-We beg respectfully to request that you will call a public Meeting of the inhabitants of Redfern, to afford them an opportunity of publicly expressing their indignation at the diabolical attempt upon the life of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, and to adopt an address of sympathy and loyalty, to be presented to his Royal Highness.Your obedient servants,Thomas B Rolin, Alexander Gordon, Joseph Wearne, W.

THE ILLAWARA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.This was an action by Alfred Fairfax and William George Whiting (trustees of the assigned estate of William Joseph Doyle) against the Illawarra Steam Navigation Company ; and in which damages were claimed for the alleged wrongful conversion of the plaintiffs' goods.Australian Town and Country Journal 25 May 1872Supreme Court.ALFRED FAIRFAX AND W. G. WHITING V. ILLAWARRA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.THE circumstances out of which this action arose are somewhat peculiar. It appears one Doyle, a storekeeper at Little River, 35 miles from Nelligen, came to Sydney and purchased from Messrs. Chapman and Company, on the 8th September, goods to the amount of ?118 17s 3d. These goods were shipped to Nelligen on the 12th of October, by defendants' steamer, and stored in their warehouse. On the 18th, Doyle called on Chapman and Company, and referred to his insolvent circumstances, at the same time telling them the goods were en route to his store. On the 19th, Doyle executed a deed of assignment to his creditors, and, on his representation that the goods were in his store, Messrs. Chapman and Company signed the deed. In the meantime news arrived that the company had possession of the goods, and Messrs. Chapman and Company telegraphed to the Company's manager at Nelligen, not to hand the goods to Doyle, but forward them back again to Sydney. This was accordingly done, and on Messrs. Chapman and Company giving the company an indemnity against legal expenses arising from any proceedings in this matter, the company returned them the goods. The trustees of Doyle's estate then sought ?150 damages for wrongful conversion by defendants of such goods. The real question at issue was, whether the goods of the vendors were stopped before actual transit. According to the weight of evidence it was clearly proved that the goods were stopped before they reached Doyle's possession, and before the execution of the deed by Messrs. Chapman and Company, but it was maintained, that the transit was completed. The jury returned a verdict for plaintiff, ?133 17s 3d.Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Tuesday 2 July 1872, page 1NOT1CE. - The PARTNERSHIP hitherto existing between ANDREW LYELL, of Melbourne, and W.

[Sylvia Dorothy Whiting]Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Friday 31 October 1884, page 5PRESENTATION TO THE REV. JAMES CLARKE, OF RANDWICK..On Wednesday evening last a large number of the parishioners of St. Jude's Church, Randwick, assembled in the town-hall of the borough for the purpose of presenting the Rev. James Clarke with a testimonial in recognition of his services in connection with the administration of the affairs of the parish since the decease of the late Rev. Thomas Wilson. Mr. S. H. Pearce, J.P., presided, and in his opening address said that it afforded him more than ordinary pleasure to preside over that meeting. They all knew that the object in view was the recognition of the valuable services rendered the church and parish by the rev. gentleman, who was temporarily appointed to discharge the duties of the ministerial office, and who was about to leave them for another sphere of labour. During the past few months Mr. Clarke had laboured well and successfully amongst them, and they all knew from the additional evidence afforded in connection with the late confirmation that his endeavours have been productive of many beneficial results. It could not, therefore, be expected that he would be allowed to leave them without receiving a practical acknowledgment of their high appreciation of his services, and of the high esteem in which he is held by the members of the congregation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. G. Whiting, one of the churchwardens, then read an address on behalf of the members of the congregation, expressing in suitable terms the affection the members of the church entertained towards him, and indicating that they highly appreciated his services during his temporary location in Randwick. The address was then handed to Mr. Pearce, accompanied by a purse of 60 sovereigns, for presentation to Mr. Clarke. Mr. Pearce having performed that pleasing duty, Mr. Clarke thanked the members of the congregation for such a pleasing recognition of his temporary services in the parish. He came amongst them as a stranger, but he soon found that he was looked upon as a friend. He valued the testi- monial received very much, but felt more disposed to look upon it in the light of an expression of their love than for its pecuniary value. During his short stay in Randwick he had much to be thankful for; indeed, the words of encouragement he received would always be remembered with the greatest gratitude. What he did he considered it his duty to do, and if God had blessed his efforts he would be still further encouraged to prosecute his Master's work with in-creased vigour. Ho hoped that the work of the church would prosper more abundantly than ever, and that the Al-mighty would continue to bless them individually and ? collectively. Among those present were Mr P Faithfull, Mr. J. Tait, jun., Mr. J. Coulter, Mr. H. K. Bracey, Mr. W. Bethune, and Mr. J.

The motion was seconded by Mr John See, M L A , and carried unanimously. The mine manager's report, which was read, slated that since the completion of the concentrators and grinding appliances operations at the mine had been confuted to the mineralised stone only, which had proved to be of much better quality both in yield and quality of gold. Work had been completed to ensure a permanent supply of water, and a tram line from the mine to the batten had been laid a distance of 46 chains, enabling the ore to be taken direct from the mine at a cost of 1s per ton A contract had been let for driving the level south from the tunnel, and 50ft had been driven The reef is as now about 5ft thick in this drive. A crosscut was being driven at the 132ft level to test the full width of the reef, and was in lift from the hanging wall, without any sign of the footwall. The stone being driven through was of fair quality. The stone from the surface to the 132ft level, amount mg to 658 tons, had been crushed for a yield of 316oz 17dwt 16gr of smelted gold. The reef was of great size The election of directors was deferred to a future meeting and the proceedings terminated[The mine hit refractory ore at depth soon after this meeting, gold recovery fell and work was suspended.

Whiting, Astolat, Frenchman' s-road, Randwick, was stolen from the Redfern Railway Station. Mrs. Whiting arrived by one of the afternoon trains, and after seeing her luggage safely deposited on the platform for conveyance to Randwick by carrier, proceeded home in a cab. The dressing case was among the articles put on the platform, but when the luggage eventually reached, its destination, it was found that the dressing- case had disappeared, and so far all efforts to trace it have been in vain. The matter has been placed in the hands of the police, and they incline to the belief that the case and contents were annexed by some, smart thief, who managed to get away unobserved.Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW : 1883 - 1930), Tuesday 24 March 1896, page 8ERSKINE-ST.— Shop to Let. with counter 5 and fixtures.

A BRILLIANT GATHERING.The Town-hall yesterday was a striking scene of gaiety and brilliant color. The occasion was the initial day of the fair in aid of the funds of the Sydney City Mission, which will be of four days' duration. The opening ceremony fell to the hands of Lady Hampden, and was performed in the presence of an exceedingly numerous gathering. For some time past the funds of the City Mission have been in want of replenishing, and some months ago the matter was taken in hand by the ladies' committee in connection with the mission, the members of which are Mrs. John Marks (president), Mesdames J. H. Goodlet, John Hardie, E. Reading, and M. II. Stephen. Sub-committees were appointed in the city and suburbs, consisting of ladies who recognised the splendid work that had been performed by the 12 missionaries both in a religious and a philanthropic direction. Hundreds of leading ladies interested themselves in the matter, and the result of their persistent organisation was that the fair started yesterday with auspicious assurance of success. Lady Hampden was accompanied by Lady Paston Cooper, Captain Ferguson, A.D.C., and Mr. Ferguson. On arrival she was presented with a choice bouquet by the Mayoress, Mrs. Ives. The Mayor presided, and the proceedings were initiated with a brief prayer by the Rev. J. Ferguson. Those on the platform included tho Revs. J. Walker, Tremayne Duustan, W. W. Rutiedge, C. T. Sackville-Wost, T. Parr, Dr. Marning, G. J. Southwell, T. Porter, E. Moore (secretary). Alderman Deane, and Messrs. J. Hardie and E. M'Donald. Alderman Ives, in asking Lady Hampden to declare the fair open, said that tho citizens of Sydney had always responded most loyally to any request with the object of charity. Ono of the greatest works in tho city was that which then demanded their support. Though the people of Sydney had passed through depressed times, be found that tbe vast ball was filled with a multitude, tho members of which were well-dressed and had their pockets filled. The great work of the City Mission extended to the very lowest depths of the city, and not only provided food for the mind, but gave blankets to those who were cold, bread to those who were hungry, and money where money was necessary. He must confess that during the time he had been Mayor there had been, a number of endeavors in the cause of charity. I-Ie might suggest that there should be In Sydney one grand organisation for the benefit of the whole of tho city and suburbs, by which all charitable matters could be taken In band. He felt that In many cases charity was bestowed where it was not wanted. Personally, he knew of such cases, and he thought this a good time to suggest that all tbe workers on behalf of tbe distressed should unite, and thus make their efforts more far-reaching and the cost a great deal less. Two musical programmes had been arranged. In the afternoon tho band of the New South Wales Artillery contributed selections, and several items were given by tho St. Cecilia Choir, under the direction of Miss Pedley. This programme was assisted in by Miss Thome and Miss Rene Lee. Tho evening programme was very-enjoyable. Mr. E. Stevenson feelingly played two violin selections, "Le Desio," by Schubert, and Musin's "Mazurka." Mrs. F. J. Riley's contributions were Mascheroni's "Woodland Serenade" and "I Cannot Say Goodbye," by Roechel. The "Porter Song," from "Martha," was spiritedly rendered by Herr Staedtgen, and Miss Maud Fitz-Stubbs contributed Giorza's "Blue Danube" as a pianoforte solo. Mr. Edgar Straus' renditions of Davldoffo's "Romance" and "Taran-telle" met with hearty applause. There were numerous sidc-sbows. Professor Albany made his first appearance in Australia as a conjurer. Mr. J. Driscoll Foley delighted audiences with his clever society entertainment, and there wero phonographs, galvanic batteries, and other attractions. Aii extremely numerous body of ladies had volunteered to carry out the work in connection with the various stalls, and in some Instances different stallholders will have charge to-day.

The "tout ensemble" at 0 o'clock, at which hour the first dance commenced, was brilliant to a degree. Tho decorations were of a most elaborato nature, and were carried out under the supervision of Messrs. Sale and Dare, of Castlereagh-street. Carpet covered the floor on either side, and BidcG and ends were decorated in a most artistic way with ferns, flowers, and pa hus, and flags of the Australian colonies, the organ platform being particularly pretty. In the centre of the southern gallery the city arms were tastofully displayed, and immediately under this a raised dais was erected for .the use of the Mayoress and her particular friends. This was an extremely artistic piece of work, and was greatly admired, tho dais presenting the appearance of a liigh-class draiw-ing-rooiri. Tho whole of the dancing arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Ernest Needs, and in saying this enough ia said. Everything went off smoothly and successfully, no hitch of any kind occurring. .Mr. Needs' orchestra, cimprlsing 20 musicians, supplied the music, and supplied It well.

The season which ended In April was a very interesting and busy one, 254 persons having been benefited . by , the league; of these 109 were children under 18, 22 under 21, 105 women and IS men; all these cases were duly investigated by members of lire committee, and some very sad Instances of poverty and bodily weakness' were relieved and strengthened. Many delicate infants, most of whom were sent to Bowral were restored to health, and the gratitude- of , the parents has amply repaid the committee. Each season the work increases, Since the little band of Ministering Children's League workers started their mission In 1801-2, at Bong Bong, New South Wales, under the leadership of our deeply regretted friend, the Rev. W. A. Leech, to provide only for poor little children to have n few weeks' holiday In pleasant Holds away from the heat of the city, the city committee have sent 1190 children, women, and men, to farm homes at Liverpool, Pletcn, Thirlmere, Mittagong, Bowral, and Moss Yale, where a large and influential branch is still working, with Mrs. YJ. A. Leech as vice-president (during, the absence in England of the president, Mis. C.' Bennett) and Miss Richardson, hon. sec. During the present season the Moss Vale branch has received und paid for 14 adults, and 11 children. It Is the great desire of the president. Lady Darley, that all the branches of. -the Ministering Children's League should assist the city committee by yearly contributions, or by providing turm homes in the country to receive little children. On the western line the Fresh Air League has farm homes at Rooty Hill, Glenbrook, Springwood, und Blackheath. At all these homes the inmates enjoy all the comforts and freedom of /home-life. The committee desire to thank Viscountess Hampden for her great sympathy with the work, and also for the parcel of garments voted to the league by the Sydney Needlework Guild.' They have also much pleasure in stating that Mrs. Pearson, Admiralty House, has kindly consented lo act as vice-president, in lieu of the 1-lon. Mrs. Ferguson, who has left the colony. The committee also feel very grateful to the hon. sec, and treasurers of the bail committee of lSUb, whose untiring seal, energy and generosity made the ball such a financial success. Thanks are also due to all the business houses whose generous donations so ably assisted the ball officers. They are also again deeply indebted to W. G.

On both occasions tlie audiences were large, aud applause was frequent. Some lovely flowers were handed over the footlights. Madame Buhrow had the assistance of Mr. A. B. Da, vies, one of the cleverest amateur actors iu Sydney, as well as Mr. Stuart Clyde who for a short time appeared with the Brougn Comedy Company. In the cast were also several well-known society girls, who appeared in the drawing-room scene, and who partook of their afternoon-tea as to the manner born. Tho young amateurs included the Misses Rhoda and Elsie Anderson, (daughters of Mrs. David Anderson), Miss Dorothy Russell French, Miss Doris Bestie, Miss Mabel Hungerford, and Miss Gladys Brodziak. Lovely frocks were worn, and the first scene was particularly bright and animated. Madame Buhrow made her entry in a lovely tea-gown of pale blue crepe-de-cliine finely tucked, and finished wilh beautiful lace This lace has (a history. It was made for and presented to Madame Buhrow ou her marriage, by the nuns at the convent where the popular actress was educated. It is exceedingly beautiful and unique in design. The second gown worn by Madiaime Buhrow was an evening one of ivory satin, tlie very long gathered skirt opening over a panel front of clothofsilver on which were cnounted small roses formed of white chiffon. The effect was excellent.. Tbe full bodice was finished with lace and touches of the cloth-of-silver, and a bunch of scarlet geraniums was tucked into the waistband. Scarlet blossoms were also worn in the hair. The committee worked hard to ensure success, aud tickets sold rapidly. Sympathisers with the Infants' Home were present in numbers. Miss Florence Martin and Mr. A .B, Davies acted as hon. secretaries, with Mrs. C. Blain as hon. treasurer.

Haege.The National Council of Women held congress all last week, and sandwiched business with social intercourse. Lady Rawson, as president of the Council, invited the members of committee of the affiliating organisations to a garden party at Cranbrook on Thursday afternoon last. The garden party resolved itself into a house party, for the rain came down steadily, and out-door promenading was impossible. Owing to the limited number of invitations there was abundance of room for the visitors, who spent several pleasant hours in interesting -chat about the various classes of work in connection with the National Council. Scraps of conversation reached our ears from time to time Miss Vida Goldstein (one of the Melbourne delegates), who came with Miss Rose Scott, was surrounded by friends eager to hear her views on tbe political situation. Mrs. Alfred Lee enlisted many sympathisers in the direction of the British Empire League, which has been originated to promote loyalty in Australia. The question of frocks and frills found no place in. the -fliscussioTis, for womenfolk appeared to be seriously inclined, and to have at heart the claims of her own particular organisation. ' . Afternoon-tea was the only frivolous part of the programme. This was served ou the eastern side of the enclosed verandah and also in the billiard-room. Lady aud Miss Rawson received their guests in the hall. Lady Rawson wore black, and Miss Rawson was iu black aud white, with a hat to match. Captain Robertson Clark, A.D.C.. and Captain ^ 1'son-. A.D.C., were in attendance, and mc. i 111 '-keir power to make the afternoon j?le.asaA.tly. Mr. H. H. Share also ap* . later. The ubiquitous photographer was in evidence, and the guests crowded to tne edge of the northern verandah in order to be included jn the picture. After this there was more earnest conversation on the verandahs and in the drawing-rooms, which were brightly decorated with flannel flowers ana arum lilies. . Among the visitors we met Lady Barton, Lady McMillan, Lady Suttor, Jtjaay Harris, Lady Renwick, Miss Mary Suttor, Mrs. John Hay, Mrs. Syme (Melbourne), Mrs. Merivale, Mrs. Alfred Lee, Dr. Mary Booth, Miss Rose Scott, Miss Vida Goldstein (Melbourne), Mrs. Storie Dixson, Mrs. Robert Farrell, Dr. Kate Hogg, Mrs. H.

Hall yesterday, when the Executive Council of the Women's Branch of the British Empire League was 'at home' to a large number of folk. The programme arranged was a most enjoyable one, at the conclusion of which afternoon tea was served, and the visitors walked about the room and chatted to their friends. The platform was decorated with the 'Union Jack, waratahs, and lovely roses, and was occupied by Lady Barton, Mrs. Jenkyns, Mrs. Lyster, Mrs. D. J. Monk. Mrs. O. Ekensteen, Mrs. Alfred Lee, Miss Vida Goldstein (Melbourne), Dr. Grace j Boelke (hon. treasurer), and Mrs. Robert Farrell (hon. secretary). An enjoyable paper on education was read by Mrs, Lee. Miss Isabel Yalleutine told us a little about sanitary matters in connection with the Women's Sanitary Association, and Miss Blanche Maguire and Miss Johnson recited. Mrs. C. A. Edwards j and Miss M. Hardy sang; Miss Eastermoru Waller gave a violin solo; Miss Jessie M'Neil ] and Miss Gertrude Palmer played, the latter ; also acting as accompanist.

Sydney, June 13.A most enjoyable dance was given at 'Pelham Hall,' Woollahra, last Friday evening, when Mr. and Mrs. Norton Russell entertained a number of young people. The host and hostess were assisted in their hospitalities by Miss Alice Russell, and by Mr. Harold, Mr. Percy, and Mr. Aubrey Russell. The beautiful ballroom has been but recently redecorated, ; and looked particularly well with its soft pastel tints on ceiling and dado, and the artistic lamp shades, toning from pale yellow to deep rose. All the reception-rooms were gay with sweet-scented flowers, and the conservatory which opens off the drawing-room was well stocked with palms and maidenhair ferns. Mrs. Mrs. Russell received the guests in a handsome gown of pale grey corded embossed silk, trimmed at the hem with a wide flounce of chiffon in the same tone. Chiffon also completed the bodice, and touches of sequin embroidery were added. Miss Alice Russell's pretty white crepe-de-chine was striped with silk, and a large chou of white ribbon was placed on the corsage. As the evening was a fine one, the visitors wandered in and out of the garden between the dances. Large Chinese lanterns were suspended from tree to tree. The end of the verandah was curtained in, and here light refreshments were served all the evening. Supper was laid in the dining-room. The tables were decorated with tall vases filled with narcissi and gallardias. Among those present were the Misses Ruth and Hilda Green, Miss Eileen Teece, Miss Winifred Smythe, Miss Dora Bauer and Mr. L. Bauer, Miss Dorothy Shard, the Misses Currie Elles, Miss Whiting, …………. The opening of the State Parliament to-day was shorn of most of its glory owing to the absence of Sir Harry Rawson, and the illness of the Lieutenant-Governor. The proclamation convening Parliament was, therefore, read by the President of the Legislative Council (Sir Francis Suttor). Lady Darley arrived shortly before noon, and was accompanied by Miss Darley, and attended by Captain Leslie Wilson, A.D.C. She wore a handsome gown of black grenadine, trimmed with ruches of ribbon; black marabout boa and small black bonnet. Miss Darley's black frock was relieved with white, and she added a black picture hat. The Lord and Lady Mayoress were accompanied by Mrs. Buxton Ludlow and Mr. W. G. Layton (acting Town Clerk).

The church, which had been most tastefully decorated with palms and ferns — In anticipation of -the event — was crowded with the friends of one or other of the contracting parties, or of both. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked radiant in a lovely white gown of liberty satin, trimmed with Brussels lace, and made with yoke and beri'ha of the same. She wore a wreath of heather and orange blossom, and a large tulle veil falling to the hem of the skirt completed her costume; the bridegroom's gift was a gold bangle; studded with turquoises.

Whiting, who kindly lent it for the occasion. The object of the fete was to raise funds in aid of the Creche shortly to be opened at Woolloomooloo. Lady Fairfax declared the fete open in a few appropriate words, and asked Mrs. Dane, the hon. secretary of the Creche movement, to explain the nature of the work, and the practical help the "Creche" will be to many poor bard working mothers. Mrs. Dane said more funds wore needed so as to open the Creche at once, and so allow tiny children to, be taken care of whilst the mothers were working, instead of as at present, being locked up in charge of children, perhaps only live or six years old, all day. Already one cot had been presented by a number of girls who had promised to provide the necessary funds for keeping it up; and blankets, cots, and furniture for the rooms, babies' chairs, toys, etc, would be most acceptable to the committee. Mrs. Davenport is the president, Mrs. Wilfred Fairfax, and Miss Sylvia Whiting, the vice presidents, Mrs. Dane the bon. secretary, and Miss Julio Cohen the hon, treasurer. The stalls at the fete were prettily arranged in the garden, and tea and refreshments were served on tables placed beneath shady trees and decorated with flowers. It is expected that about ?60, clear of expenses, will be handed over to the fund. Amongst the visitors were Sir P. Sydney Jones and the Misses Jones, Miss Fairfax, Mrs, and Miss Whiting, Mrs. and Miss Palmer, Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. and Miss Teece, Mrs. B.

The new institution, which is, perhaps, better known as the Sydney Day Nursery, has been furnished, by private donations, and is already occupied by several little folk, under the charge of Nurse Breden. At this 'nursery' poor women can leave their babies whilst they are away from home earning their living. The members of the committee of the Day Nursing Association include Mrs. Frank' Davenport as president; Mrs. Wilfred Fairfax and Miss Sylvia Whiting, vice presidents; Mrs. Dane, hon. secretary; and Mrs Julie Cohen, hon. treasurer. The committee itself consists of Mrs. W. G. Whiting, Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Macdonald Gill, Mrs. H. Maitland, Mrs. Gilbert Lodga, Miss Cecil Stephen, Miss Linda Teece, Miss Goldschmidt, and Miss F. E. Stephens. A great many people are much interested in the scheme, and it is hoped that sufficient funds will be forthcoming to enable the good work to be carried out. The matron will be pleased to show the 'nursery' to any visitor who would care to inspect it. Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser (NSW : 1871 - 1912), Wednesday 14 February 1906, page 443A week, or two ago I told you a little about the 'Day Nursery' which has just been established in Dowling-street, Woolloomooloo. Last week I paid the 'Nursery' a visit, and heard something of the working of the new establishment. Mrs. Dane, so well known in kindergarten circles, is the secretary, and she was receiving the visitors, who had been specially invited to afternoon-tea, and to see what was being done for the tiny children. Upstairs, in a sunny room, under the charge of Matron Breden, five mites were to be found. One fat, fair baby, the delight of day mother's heart, sat on the floor and watched interestedly all that was going on around him. 'Boronia' and 'Rupert,' a tiny brother and sister, also came in for a share of notice. No child will be received in the 'Day Nursery' until satisfactory proof has been given to the committee that, by taking charge of the child, the mother will be enabled and intends to use her time in earning a living. It is also necessary for the parent to bring a letter from a responsible person, showing that the case is a genuine one. and giving a reasonable guarantee that the child will be removed at the close of the day. Children are received up to the age of three years. Mrs. Wilfred Fairfax, Mrs. W. G. Whiting, Mrs. H. Maitland, Mrs. Macdonald Gill, Mrs. Frank Davenport, and Mrs. E. Bennett, are among the interested folk. Both Miss Sylvia Whiting, and Miss Linda Teece are office-bearers, Miss Teece presiding over the Woollahra 'Cot,' and Miss Whiting over the Randwick one. Although the 'Nursery' is closed at half-past 6, tiny white cots stand in the room upstairs, and in which the children may have their nap during the day-time. Several well-known medical men have also volunteered their services if required. Included among them are Dr. Blackburn, Dr. Wilfred Fairfax, Dr. Maitland, and Dr. Waugh (Miss Whiting's brother-in-law). On Fridays nine little one's generally occupy the 'Nursery,' the mothers paying the sum of threepence for each child, unless there be two in one family, when a reduction to twopence is made. The 'Nursery' is supported entirely by voluntary subscriptions or by entertainments, a fete being recently held at Randwick in aid of the good cause. It took place in the grounds of Astolat, the residence of Mrs. W. G. Whiting, and was formally declared open by Lady Fairfax.

Many people were content to stand the whole time, for there was not nearly seating accommodation for all those who were present. The programme was certainly a most attractive one, for every theatre in Sydney was represented, and judging by the applause each item was thoroughly appreciated. Miss Florence Young, in an extremely pretty frock of pink and white hand-painted chiffon, and a shaded pink toque to match, sang a song from 'The Shop Girl,' and was assisted by the chorus of the Royal Comic Opera Company. Then there were acts and scenes from several plays, excerpts from various comic operas, while the performance was closed with a tour through Italy by means of the bioscope. As the vast audience left the theatre they were cinematographed by Mr. T. J. West, and in the near future we shall see ourselves billed on a programme as 'Australians leaving a matinee.' In the front row of the dress circle sat the Lady Mayoress and Mr. Foster Taylor, who were accompanied by a party of friends. Mrs. Kenneth Mackay (whose husband took a prominent part in the organising of the entertainment) was in the stalls, as were also Mrs. George Gohen, Mrs. R. Marks, Mr. J. J. Calvert, Mrs. Sandford, Miss May Dalgarno, Mrs Douglas Walker, Mrs! and Miss Bowker, Colonel Mackay, Judge Backhouse, Mrs. W. G Whiting, Mr. and Miss Gullett, Sir W.

Nesbit gave an afternoon tea party at her residence, Berenice, Old South Head-road. The hostess welcomed her guests in a smart frock of cream crepe-de-chine, and a cream hat, trimmed with damask roses. She was assisted in her hospitalities by Mrs. and Miss Baxter-Bruce. The reception rooms were daintily decorated with chrysanthemums, and chrysanthemums were also on the dining room table, where delicious refreshments were served. A string band played on the verandah, and thus added to the general enjoyment. The guests included. Mrs. A. J. Gould, Mrs. W. G. Whiting, Mrs. Burnett Cohen, Mrs. P. J.

Miss Rawson kindly presided. The reports read were of the most satisfactory character, and sympathisers with the movement will be glad to know that the nursery is progressing steadily. The Rev. Ronald Macintyre spoke a few sensible words. Mr. Macintyre is ever practical. He suggested that a larger home be procured as soon as possible for the little ones, who need plenty of air and breathing space, and he put forth the idea that someone might build a suitable creche which could be rented by the association. Mrs. Frank Davenport is the president, with Mrs. Wilfred Fairfax the vice-president, Mrs. Dane the hon. secretary, and Miss Julie Cohen the hon. treasurer, it was most reassuring to know that the credit balance amounted to some ?130. Mrs. Ralph Worrall, Mrs. and Miss Curnow, Mrs. W. G. Whiting, Mrs. Bennett; Mrs. B. F. Marks, Miss Gladys Teece, Mrs. Julius Goldschmidt, Sir Philip Sydney Jones, and the Rev. E. C.

The wind blew in a most uncomfortable fashion, but the sun shone brightly as a recompense, so that in a sheltered part of the garden it was by no means unpleasant. The fete -was in aid of the funds of the Kindergarten Union of New South Wales, and at about 3 o'clock Miss Rawson, accompanied by Mr. .Harrison Smith, arrived to perform the opening ceremony. Miss Rawson was received by the committee, and after her work was over, inspected . the various stalls, and made some generous purchases. The Sobraon Band was in attendance, and played at intervals, the music being most enjoyable. The stalls were attractively arranged, and' some pretty girls at the tea-stall waited on the visitors. Miss Rawson was entertained at tea, and stayed for some time chatting to the energetic stallholders. Mrs. E. W. Knox, Mrs. A. J. Brady, Mrs. Dane, Mrs. Fairfax Ross, Mrs. Gordon Craig, and Mrs. J. A.

Sydney's representative people are most anxious that we should make a brave show, and it is hoped that each district will form committees, and thus bring the matter under general notice. In order that the work shall be seen and appreciated by the workers themselves, it is proposed to snow the exhibits here before sending them over the border.

Whiting, managing director for Henry Bull and Company, York and Market streets, Sydney, for alleged slander .Mr. Curlewis (instructed by Mr. J. W. Abigail) appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Mocatta (instructed by Messrs. Perkins, Stevenson,' and Company) for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty, that the words complained of did not bear the innuendo which plaintiff alleged, and privilege. Plaintiff claimed that at the time of the alleged slander he was in the employ of one Crabtree,' in the capacity of manager of a certain business, and the defendant falsely and maliciously spoke and published of him the following words: — 'It will be detrimental to your business (meaning Crabtree's business, of which plaintiff was manager) to retain Moss (meaning plaintiff) in your employ. His name is not good amongst the warehouses in Yorkstreet. I have got certain information about him' (plaintiff), meaning thereby that plaintiff was a dishonest man, whose credit and reputation was bad, and who was unfit to manage Crabtree's business, by reason of which plaintiff had been injured in his credit and reputation as manager, and Crabtree refused to retain him in his employ.

G. Whiting, of "Astolat," Randwick, yesterday to witness the marriage of their third daughter, Sylvia, with Mr. W. Leslie Moore, only son of Mr. S. W. Moore, Minister for Lands, and Mrs. Moore. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Canon Hough at St. Jude's Church, Randwick, which was decorated with white flowers; and the service was choral. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a trained gown of ivory bengaline, the bodice smartly, finished with lace, a long tulle veil and wreath of orange blossoms were also worn. Her white bouquet and a cable watch bracelet were the bridegroom's gift. Her bridesmaids — the Misses Vera Whiting (her sister) and Isabel Moore (the bridegroom's sister)— wore pretty frocks of white esprit net over glace, with smart head 'dresses in the form of lace caps, with long white tulle streamers. They carried hydrangea bouquets, with streamers' to match. The bridegroom gave them each an enamelled gold bangle. The best man was Mr. Keith' Whiting, the bride's brother. Mr. Smythe was groomsman. At "Astolat," which was lavishly decorated with white flowers, Mr. and Mrs. Whiting held the reception. The wedding breakfast was held at small round tables In a marquee on the lawn. Here the decorations were white flowers mingled with scarlet salvia. There were no speeches. The reception took place In the drawing room. and the presents were displayed In the dining room. Mrs. Whiting, the bride's mother, was dressed in grey crepe de chine, trimmed with embroidery and lace, toque of grey, with touches of pale blue velvet. Mrs. S. W. Moore wore black silk trimmed with Chan-tilly and white lace, white toque with black feathers, and pink roses. The happy couple left later for their honeymoon In' the Blue Mountains, Mrs. W. Leslie Moore wearing a white linen with inlets of embroidery, and a white list wreathed with colored flowers. Among the guests were the Premier (Mr. C. G.

"Another of the. beauty daughters of the W. G. Whiting family, of Randwick, was married last Thursday, January 2nd. Miss Sylvia (Dossie), who chose Mr. Leslie Moore, only son of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Moore, as her life's mate. The young people have been engaged for five years -a certain test of true affection. [Divorced in 1926] The wedding gown was ,white poplin, with some beautiful lace on the bodice. The maids of honor, Miss Vera Whiting and Miss Isabel Moore, wore the sweetest little gowns possible-of white esprit net made in semi-Empire style, with dainty fichus and quaint little lace cups, finished on either side of the hair,, with tulle rosettes and long cuds reaching below the waist, and they carried novel posies of blue hydrangea, the gifts from the bridegroom being turquoise enamel bangles, while he gave his bride a gold watch, also set us a bangle. Another beautiful remembrance was a necklace of matrix turquoise stones, sent by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown (Randwick) to Mrs. Moore. The reception rooms at "Astolat". were massed with red salvia, the same blossoms being used in the marquee on the small tea tables. Only one speech, given with flowery eloquence by Mr. Richard Teece, who referred to the poetic sentiment that a third son-in-law, had plucked, a beauty flower from, the well-known garden of "Astolat." The happy, couple went off to the mountains, amidst the best wishes; of 150 friends, who cheered them, as they drove off out of the grounds. Mrs. Leslie Moore started the most novel American mode of throwing her bridal bouquet out of the carriage at the final moment of departure, the girl who caught it being the one who is likely to enter the "happy bonds" next.' Much to everyone's amusement the bridal posy fell into the arms, of Miss Lillie See, who with her sister, Mrs Meeks was standing quite close to the door of the carriage. Bursts of laughter greeted Miss See at her prospective, matrimonial achievement, and within a few moments several of her ardent admirers were at her feet. The wedding day was ideal, perfect weather,' which induced the guests to wear their prettiest clothes and daintiest hats. Many favoured lace; frocks they are pretty, just correct for wed-dings. 'The bride travelled in a white embroidered linen, with a simple blue hat. She was most self-possessed and I thoughtful to a degree. As she was leaving, she gave messages to absent girl friends and threw a small parcel into the arms of Miss Amy Carter. When opened, the wedding veil was discovered, ready for her marriage early in March.Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Wednesday 25 March 1908, page 14CAERLEON COLLEGE, Astolat, Frenchman’s road, Randwick, BOARDING and DAY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

INFLUENTIAL COMMITTEE APPOINTED.A very largely attended public meeting was held at the Sydney Town Hall on Thursday afternoon for the purpose of taking steps to cooperate with the Federal and State Governments in the celebrations or welcome to the American battle fleet in August next The Lord Mayor occupied the chair, and in addition to an attendance of several hundred persons a number of leading citizens occupied seats on the platform. The Lord Mayor said he was delighted to see such a large and representative gathering of the citizens of Sydney. It showed that in connection with the proposal to suitably welcome and do honor to the officers and men of the American fleets, enthusiasm was not wanting, .and that, in the words of a celebrated American Admiral, ‘Blood was thicker than water.' As far as he could see, the fleet would now be in Sydney Harbor much earlier than had at first been anticipated. As they were to reach Auckland about August 9, it could be taken for granted that they would come on to Sydney about the middle of that month. There would be about 16 battleships, each with 800 to 900 officers and men aboard, and that there 'would be a very large number of men to entertain. …………………On the motion of Sir Francis Suttor, it was decided to. form a citizens' committee.

The bridesmaids were Misses Marjorie and Sybil Smyth (sisters of the bride), Miss Vera Whiting (sister of the bridegroom), Miss Nell Crouch, and Miss Mary Parker. Dr, Rupert Furber acted a best man. After the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's mother, where the newly-married couple received the well-wishes of a number of friends.Cumberland Argus 25 Nov 1911DR. KEITH WHITING'S MARRIAGE.On the afternoon of Wednesday, November 22nd, Dr. Keith Whiting, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Whiting, was married to Miss Mary Smyth, daughter of Mrs. J. Kane Smyth, of 'Marmion,' Waverley. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Dr. Jack Smyth, wore a lovely gown of white satin, trimmed with Brussels and rose-point lace, wreath of orange blossoms, and a large veil. The bridegroom 's gift was a gold watch bracelet. The bride was attended by five brides maids — Miss Marjorie Smyth, chief bridesmaid, and Miss Sybil Smyth (sisters of the bride), Miss Vera Whiting (sister of the bridegroom), Miss Nellie Crouch [later Mrs Jack Smyth], and Miss Molly Parks. They wore dresses of white pin-dot muslin, trimmed with alternate bands of finest malines lace and narrow pale blue satin bands, wearing sashes of pale blue satin; hats of twine-colored Tegal straw, trimmed with pink and maize-colored roses and foliage. The gifts of the bridegroom to the brides maids were gold signet rings, and bouquets of pink roses, tied with streamers of blue ribbons. Dr. Furber acted as best man.The marriage ceremony was celebrated at the Grahame Memorial Church at Waverley, Rev. J. Macaulay officiating. The church had been exquisitely decorated for the event with flannel flowers and red carnations, November lilies and tall palms, with a large floral wedding-bell suspended over, the heads of the bridal party. The hymns sung were '.'The 'Voice that breathed o'er Eden' and '.'Oh, perfect love.' A lady organist presided at the organ, and while the register was being signed, Mr. Tom Middleton sang 'A song of thanksgiving. 'The reception was held at 'Marmion,' where the breakfast was served 'in a large marquee on the lawn. The one toast proposed was that Of ''The Bride ? and Bridegroom,' by Rev. J. Macaulay. The bridegroom responded. The table ? where the bridal party sat, and on which was placed the wedding cake, was decorated with sweet peas. The other tables were decorated with red and pink carnations. Dr. and Mrs. Whiting received the congratulations of their friends in the drawing-room, which was beautifully decorated with flannel flowers and pink roses, and the wedding presents were displayed in the ballroom, which was profusely decorated with flannel flowers and red carnations. Dr. and Mrs. Whiting left by motor for Sutherland, and from there they will continue a motor trip during the honeymoon.

Although the State Go-vernment appointed a Royal Commission some 'time ago to inquire into the export of the product, and the commission made recom-mendations, tho islanders still complain of tho position of affairs.Mr. William Whiting, who is _ resident of the island, now on a A'isit to Sydney, says that its population totals 00. He also says that borne of the residents consider they are not getting a fair deal from the Government. The position to-day was that there was no on? looking after the Island since Mr. Farnell had left the State, and things were in a A-ery un-satisfactory condition. The Kentia Palm Seed and Plant Co-operative. Company alono held a permit to collect the seeds, and thus had un absolute monopoly of the business, as In no other part of tho world was the seed produced. Last year over 3000 bushels of seed wore produced, and about 100,000 palms were exported, and for this only about ?1500 net had come to the islands, distributed over an adult population af about 50. Some of the Islanders were intercbted to a much lar-ger extent than others in the company, and another of the complaints was that the bigger shareholders occasionally Imported labour from Sydney, and thus deprived the men on the island of employment.Mr. Whiting, who has come to Sydney to put the views of the majority of the islanders as to the control of the island and its sole industry before the Government, will re-turn by the Mokambo next Wednesday.

Some sensational evidence was given in the Divorce Court on Thursday and following days during the hearing of the divorce suit instituted by Louisa Moss (formerly Collis) against her husband, Edward Elias Moss, on the ground of constructive desertion. Issues were raised on behalf of the respondent, charging his wife with committing adultery in Ocean-street with a man named Osbourne, and also adultery with other men whose names were unknown. There was also another issue of desertion. Mr. Watt, instructed by Mr. Boyce. appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. E. R. Abigail appeared for the respondent.LOUISA MOSS.The first witness was Dr. A. Bohrsmann, practising at Newtown. He said that he had been the medical attendant of the family, and had attended the petitioner since 1901 up to the present time. He first attended her for a specific complaint, and at that time she was in excellent health, and in every way a sound woman. She PROGRESSIVELY FAILED in health from a period subsequent to that date, and in 1906 she was a physical and mental wreck. She was constantly coming up for treatment, and took more medicine than food. In fact, she saw him almost daily and got as bad as a woman could get. He was afraid that her brain would go— so bad was she. Mr. Watt; You examined her physically and privately? You know what I mean? —Yes. Now, I want to ask you this. Are you able to form an opinion from your examination as to whether she was a woman of great sexual excitement or not? — I should say that she was a woman of a cold, irresponsive nature. Did you examine her as to her relations with her husband?— Yes. She complained to me about certain things. She told me of certain suggestions he made to her. Give us some of the specific symptoms at the end of June, 1906? — Well, she was markedly losing flesh, she complained of sleeplessness, loss of appetite, had continual headaches, and she told me that her life_____ Mr. Abigail: I object. Mr. Watt: And she lost her voice? — Oh yes; completely. That was the accompaniment of nervous breakdown? — Yes. And her appearance and expression? — Were indicative of GREAT MENTAL WORRY. You knew she was a hard-working woman? — Yes, but that would not account for her state. In July, 1906, she left her husband. What did you notice in her health from that date?— There was a marked improvement in her health. At the end of June you gave her certain advice? — I did. Necessary for the preservation of her health?— Yes. Mr. Abigail: You were friendly with Mr. Moss?— Oh, yes. Did you consult him regarding his wife's health? — I did, many times. You know that they were up against it'— that they were struggling for a living when in business in Newtown? — Yes. You always found him sober? — Yes. And hard-working?— Fairly energetic. Would frequent mishaps at childbirth affect her health?— Undoubtedly. I was her medical attendant for many years, and I cannot call to mind any such event. I performed an operation for tumors, but not for that. I think if she had had mishaps she would have acquainted me of the fact. You never remember her speaking to you about it? — Never. You performed an operation? — Yes, that was in connection with the removal of the tumor. It was a recurring fibrous tumor. She was treated for that by one of the leading doctors in Melbourne? — Yes. Unsuccessfully?— Well, it came back apparently. And you cured her? — I would not take that honor upon myself. You see. It is recurring. Well, she says she is cured. The tumor would affect her health? — To a certain extent. When it was better she would brighten up, and go back when it recurred? — Perhaps, but she would not be greatly affected —not in the marked way in which SHE WAS EFF'ECTED. You say that she is a cold and irresponsive woman. Of course, that is only your opinion? — Certainly. A woman could easily deceive one in that?— Yes. Even there may be the other extreme, and if she so desired, she could deceive a medical man?— -Well, it would be rather a hard matter. A medical man could form a pretty good opinion as to the sexual appetite of a patient. You say that it is difficult for a woman to deceive a medical man as to her sexual capacity? Yes Can you direct us to any works upon the matter— any authorities? — I can't re-member the name of the work I read, but there is a German doctor who has been never found to fail in his conclusions, and who is regarded as being exceptionally clever. He says so. Petitioner then entered the box. She is a tall, well-made woman, and would be claimed by some as good-looking. She preserved a marvellous sang froid throughout the proceedings, although at times she commenced to weep on the whole, however, she was very ready with her answers. She said that she was married in Melbourne on March 14, 1892, her husband being a French-polisher at the time. When she was married she was unaware that he was not in a position to keep her, but she soon found out that he could not, and she had to go out and work for herself. In fact, he was an insolvent when she married him, but of course she did not know that at the time. They lived in Melbourne for five or six years, during which time she had to work — she would have starved had she not, because her husband did not work. He borrowed money from her frequently, and even went so far as to PAWN HER WEDDING RING. Mr. Watt: The question has been raised that you have had certain mishaps. Have you during your married life ever had a mishap at childbirth?— Two, in Melbourne. Have you ever had an abortion? — No. Continuing, petitioner said that her husband got a job with one of Williamson's opera companies, and also had previously got work with a company his brother had, but he got no wages, and even to this day his brother had not paid him. Then she and her husband came over to Sydney, but she was not able to work for a long time, owing to her bad health. Her husband was doing no work, and they had a hard time of it, and frequently had to shift their quarters owing to arrears in rent. When he was with Williamson's company he got ?3 a week, but she received very little of it. Then she got work making up capes, etc., for the drapery houses. She opened a place in Adam's Buildings, and taught her husband the work, so that he could assist her. Then they shifted to King-street, Newtown. In 1902 the unpleasantness started over some orders. She had sent him out to get orders, and he could do no business. Then she went herself, and got orders, and that made him angry. She got a small order for ?15 from Lassetter's, and that led to another one for ?300. She told him of her success, and he told her that she could do the business because she was willing TO SELL HERSELF to a man for orders. She resented that imputation, and told him that he had no occasion to say such things. His behaviour was very abusive, but he always abused her in the privacy of her own room, and never in public, where he was most polished, and gave no indication of the way he treated her in private. At this juncture Mr. Watt said that there were certain revolting details which would have to come out in evidence, and asked his Honor if he would give expression to a suggestion that those in the court who had no business there might leave. His Honor said that it was only in exceptional cases that he ordered the court to be cleared. His Honor, however, expressed the opinion that it was desirable that those who were not actually interested in the case might withdraw.It was arranged that the evidence of what the respondent repeatedly said to his wife and the awful acts he requested her to permit 'him to commit, should be given at 2 p.m., and when that time arrived, the evidence was heard 'in camera,' after which the case proceeded. Mr. Watt: Was your husband's bearing towards you affable? — No, it was the reverse. There were very strained relations. I have always been of an affectionate disposition, and his conduct UPSET ME GREATLY. He accused you of misconducting yourself with men until you left? — Yes, right , up to the day I left him. He forced me to Leave him—I could not put up with it any longer. Witness gave particulars of certain requests by her husband, which she indignantly refused, when he taunted her by saying that she would let her 'fancy men' do it, but not him. Did you remonstrate with him?— Certainly, but what was the good? I am a woman who, above everything else in this world, prides herself upon her character, and I cannot express how all this affected me. I thought it pretty hard that I, who had to work to support him, my children, and myself, should be accused of such things. He told me many times to clear out, as I was no good to him, and followed that up by saying that I could go to my fancy men, and they would keep me. His language was not fit for the lowest woman on earth to hear. It was more than filthy. Do you remember something happening one Thursday night? — Yes, I was working late, and I told him that I could not manage the work. He said, 'I suppose you would like to get some of your fancy men to do the work for you?' I told him that there was no occasion for him to speak like that, and then he said worse things. He said that he would soon get rid of me, as I was no good to him. Then he walked out and left me there. Of course, I was greatly upset, and could hardly work that night. That night when I returned home he WAS VERY ABUSIVE TO ME, and I tried my best to make it up. Then he slept on a couch in another room and stayed there for three months. During those months he suggested that I should let him do those unmentionable things will relate later on. Was he making any money at that time?— No; I gave him all the money he wanted. The worst of it was that every night I worked back he always asked me how I enjoyed myself with my ---- fancy men. Some times that would occur five nights a week. Do you remember something occuring over a Mr. Stewart? — Yes, he taught the little girl music, and also taught Mr. Moss singing. He invited us to spend a social evening at a place on Anniversary night, and I did not want to go because I and my husband were on such bad terms. Moss wanted me to go very badly and said that if I would go he would turn over a new leaf and change his ways. Well, I went, and after that I closed the shop at Newtown, and we lived at Woollahra. We lived very happily for some time, and I carried on my work at Riley Brothers during the time. Those were the happiest days I spent since '02. Then I went over to Melbourne with a very dear friend of mine —Mrs. Osbourne — and was away only three weeks. In the meantime I had opened a place in York-street. One day I was in a tram, and there was an old gentleman there who was trying to attract my attention. He wanted to speak to me, and, of course, I resented it. My husband wasn't there. When I got home. I told Mr. Moss about it, and he said that if I hadn't given him any encouragement he would NEVER HAVE ACTED LIKE THAT. Then he started to abuse me terribly and said that I wasn't fit to be trusted outside, and that I was quite willing to go with any man and every man. Of course, I resented that, and asked him what he meant by saying that. He simply replied by making insulting suggestions and said that I would let my fancy men do things that I wouldn't let him do. Witness, continuing, said that one morning (her birthday), he came over to her bed and kissed her. She said that she ought to have a birthday every day! He said that he was a faithful husband, and she reminded him of the things he had accused her of. He apologised, and was rather nice. Things did not last, however, for she gave him ?100 to mind about Easter, and had not got it back. Then there was trouble over a trip to Kurnell. It was arranged that they should be accompanied by Mr. Stewart. At the last moment the respondent declined to go. Petitioner sent a wire to Stewart, telling him of that fact, and added that she and the children were going alone. Of course he did not come. Moss, when he heard of the wire, said that evidently it was an invitation to Stewart to go out with her. He repeated HIS FILTHY SUGGESTIONS and insulting language, and accused her of always dolling herself up to get Stewart into her clutches. She told him how foolish he was, and that Stewart was a youth of 21, and she was a grown woman; but he took no notice. His behavior got so bad that she was forced to go to Sly and Russell, her solicitors, and ascertain what could be done. He said that he would make her life a hell, and that her fancy men would soon get her. He called her a two-faced pig, and said that he would get rid of her before long. She was consulting the doctor almost daily at this time, for his conduct made a wreck of her. She was so exhausted that she could not eat; she had awful headaches, and could not undress herself. She was frightfully nervous, and used to wake up at night in a cold perspiration. She felt that her brain was giving way. At this time he was loafing about the streets. She LOST WEIGHT CONSIDERABLY, going from 12st to 10st. She gave certain information to the doctor, and he advised her to adopt a certain course. In June she got apprehensive of her safety, and sent her children away, because he had made threats. He used language that was not fit for the lowest woman on earth to hear. He taunted her at night about certain things, and when he was lying in his bed in her room he said awful things, which made her frightened to go to sleep. He said that he would force her to go to her other men. All this had a dreadful effect upon her health; she used to cry herself to sleep night after night, and got that low that she could not sleep. She could not think even, and was drinking innumerable bottles of medicines. Her blood circulation at night appeared to stop, and her nerves were shattered. She lost her voice for a fortnight. Eventually she told Moss that the conduct would have to cease, and he said that it would not as he wanted TO GET RID OF HER. When she took a determined stand, and said that she would have to leave him, he said, 'Good luck; go. That is just what I want.' She left him afterwards, and never received a penny for support from him: in fact, she had never received money from him since they had lived in Sydney. One night, just when she came out of the York-street premises, she saw a figure crouching in a corner with his hands over his face. She suspected that it was Moss, and when she went over, sure enough it was. She asked him what he was doing there, and he made no reply, she said that he had no occasion to spy on her, and again he did not answer. Then a storeman from Inglis's came along, and she drew his attention to her husband watching her. The storeman said that 'Mrs. Moss was a good woman, and that he had no occasion to spy on her.' Then a night watchman came along, and Moss said that he was waiting for a friend. She said that gentlemen did not wait for friends CROUCHING IN THE DARK with their hands over their face. He spoke up, and repeated his old tales about fancy men. He said that he would make the world hum with the disclosures he would make about her and prominent men in the city. He mentioned a number of names of the leading commercial men in Sydney, including Messrs. Osbourne, Douglas, Russell, Whiting, Montague, and others. He accused her of carrying on with them. He said that they were conspiring to do him out of his business, so that they could buy it and present it to her because of what she let them do to her! She left him then. From the time she left him, and consequently was not subjected to the worries and insults which characterised her former life, her health got better, until she was quite right now. She had built up a big business, and the yearly turnover . was ?4000. Her husband got a number of circulars printed, and sent them to quite a number of people in the city accusing her of certain conduct. Mr. Abigail: Now, isn't it a fact that you went for an 38 months' honeymoon with your husband when you were married ? — No. Wasn't he with Rice's theatrical company?— He was. And you went to Tasmania with him? —I did. Didn't, you travel about with him before you were married? I am not suggesting anything improper? - No. Did you give him any wages for his work? — I kept him, paid his tailors, and his sovereign case was NEVER WITHOUT SOVEREIGNS IN IT. Now, you have a pretty warm temper, haven't you? — I don't think so. Isn't a fact that you went into the factory one day and ripped a number of silk blouses right up? — No. And your husband said, 'That's a silly thing to do. Why not keep them for the Salvation Army'? — No. Wasn't it agreed that when you left Moss, Mr. and Mrs. Osbourne should go and live with you at "Eurobah"?-- No. For a week before you left Moss, didn't you see Osbourne every night? — No. He lived at your place afterwards? — Yes. You took your husband's gold watch and chain when you left? — Yes, because I gave it to him. Did you say to your daughter one day that she had to pick between you and your husband? — No. Did you thrash your daughter for seeing her father? — Never. And refused her food, and took her clothes away from her?— Never. She may have had her meal sent to her room because she was disobedient. She was a very disobedient girl, and very headstrong. Didn't she complain to you that you were favoring her brother as against her? — Never. Did she write a note and pin it on your pillow? — Not that I can remember. A Biblical quotation? — I don't think so. "Have not favor among thy children'? — Certainly not- 'She was dissatisfied and discontented? — She was. Did you refer to Osbourne before your daughter as "Dear old Ossy'? — No. You found your daughter preparing to pack up, didn't you?— Yes. And clear out from the house? — I presume it was for that purpose. And you told her to go?— Certainly not. Did you take her little watch out of her packed box?— No; I always had her watch. I didn't want it to get into her father's hands, and eventually REACH THE PAWN-SHOP. I told her that she would have her jewellery when she was of age. Anyhow, it was my watch; I gave it to her. And you took her little evening dress?— She never had one. Her jewellery and her clothes?— Certainly not. Do you remember being in the A.B.C. with your son, and she was also in there with a young lady. Your son went to speak to her, and you said, "He doesn't want to speak to gutter girls'? — Certainly not. He did speak to her. Did you try and influence your husband's employers against him to get him dismissed? — No. Did Henry Bull and Co. inform a man named Crabtree, for whom your husband worked, that they would not deal with him unless he sacked Moss— all through your influence?— Certainly not. He worked for M'Arthur's? — Yes. Did you see Mr. Alderson there, and tell him your husband was no good? You know that Moss was instantly dismissed? -- He was, but it was not through me. I merely mentioned that my husband was taking my girls away from me. Did you say to your daughter, 'It is very nice to have a gentleman's cheque book always open for you'? — Decidedly not. Did you say MR. SIMPSON'S CHEQUE BOOK was always open for you?— No. For a period you and your husband occupied different beds in the same room? — True. Used you to sing every night, 'Would You Care if I Should Leave You'? — Oh, certainly not. The idea! You used to laugh and jeer at him?— Not at all. Before you left him you and the nurse used to have conversations about how you could make him strike you? — No. You remember your daughter being in bed apparently asleep? — No. And didn't you lean over the child and say, "I believe the little wretch is shamming sleep'?— Never. When your husband came in didn't you aggravate him and deliberately spit in his face? — Certainly not. The further hearing of the case was adjourned until the following day. On the resumption of the case on Friday, Mrs. Sutton said that she had been nurse in the Moss family. Witness related a number of unpleasant incidents which occurred, and, in reply to Mr. Abigail, said that apparently the two of them lived happily. Moss treated his wife kindly, and was fond of his home. Mr. Abigail: Did you remember Mrs. Moss bringing home a song named 'Would You Care if I Should Leave You'? — Yes. You used to play It for her?— Yes. And she sang it every night? — Frequently. You knew she was singing it at him?— No. Wasn't she preparing to go then? — No. Do you remember Mrs. Moss talking with you about how she could make Moss hit her? — No. Do you remember Osbourne taking Mrs. Moss out in a cab? — Once. What time did they come home? — Late at night. Where did they then go? — Mrs. Moss came into my room. Do you remember Mrs. Moss making her daughter promise not to see her father? — No. She gets into a rage very quickly?— Yes. When she was in a temper Moss usually walked out?— I don't remember. Did they appear to be affectionate?— Until the Kurnell quarrel. John Mansergh, njghtwatchman, said that one night in December, 1906, he WAS ON DUTY in the vicinity of Inglis' Buildings, where Mrs. Moss, had rooms. He supported Mrs. Moss story in connection with the incident. Henry B. Simpson, fire insurance adjuster. said that he knew both parties. Moss told him about his troubles, and said, "you are laboring under a delusion concerning my wife. She is not what you think she is. She is a very amorous woman, and the fact is I am not as good as I used to be, and can't satisfy her. She is running after other men.' Witness told him that he was an ass to talk like that The Judge: What company were you with?—The Norwich Union. Charles A. Bell, departmental manager at Sargood Bros., said that Moss told him he would never make the quarrel up even if his wife were HANGING WITH DIAMONDS. This was the case for the petitioner. Mr. Abigail submitted that the petitioner's case failed. His Honor: I think there is a case to answer. Jesse Freeburg, living at Wentworth Falls, said that for 20 years he was night-watchman at Lassetter's. He frequently saw Mrs. Moss coming out of the York- street building as late as 11 o'clock p.m. He saw a gentleman go away with her once. It wasn't Moss. One night when witness was in the street the petitioner came across and called him a sneak and a spy. He said that he wasn't, and she added, 'I have been keeping that man (Moss) ever since we were married.' He told her that that had nothing to do with him. Then she said, '-If I wanted a man, do you think I would take him into the building?' Mr. Watt: Did you watch Mrs. Moss for Moss? — No; I have never done any dirty work like that. You remember putting a padlock on the door of Inglis’ Building? — Yes. And Moss did too? — Yes. Why? — I believe because he thought his wife was inside. She was not in? — I believe she wasn't. When was the lock taken off? — About 1 o'clock. Was Moss there? — Yes. The respondent (a Jew) said that, just prior to his marriage he was SINGING IN THE OPERA CO., drawing ?3 a week. Then he started to travel for a merchant. Before marriage he and his wife travelled with Rice's 'Evangeline' Co. for 12 months. Then they opened in Sydney in business. She had a very bad temper, and once ripped a lot of blouses up. He never struck his wife. They prospered, and took "Kembla" at Woollahra. Mr. Abigail: You remember the evidence given 'in camera,' Did you suggest that it should take place? — No. Did you endeavor to carry out that suggestion? — No. This is the first you heard of it? — Yes. Respondent continuing, said that the first row they had was over Stewart. She proposed that they take Stewart to Kurnell, and respondent declined to go with him. She taunted him with being jealous. Of course, he greatly loved his wife, and didn't want her hanging round young Stewart. From this on she commenced to perform. She did not give him ?100 to mind; he never had 100 sovereigns at the one time in his life. He denied the allegations to the effect that he abused her, and told her to clear out. She was always singing, 'Would you care if I should leave you?' Of course, it was being SUNG AT HIM. They occupied the same bed up to the night before she left. One night there was a big row, when she called him a wretch and a pig, said that she had him beaten, that she would have him in gaol, and would dance before the gaol door, winding up by spitting in his face. At this juncture Mr. Abigail said that he would abandon the issues charging Mrs. Moss with adultery. Respondent added that it was entirely against his will when his wife left. Mr. Watt: Did you ever ask her to come back? — No. Has your daughter helped you in this case? — I suppose she has. She wrote out your statements? — No, she didn't. Has she been associated with you in other cases? She has supported you in the defence? — Yes, in one case. Was it a trumped-up defence? — Certainly not. Do you mean to infer that I taught my daughter to do wrong? Didn't you trump up tho defence in a case instituted by Miss Quirk? — Certain- ly not. Now, do you believe that your wife was true to you? — Yes. When did you cease to believe that? — After she left. You have made other charges against her? — In what way? Adultery? — Once, in one of those papers I circulated. You inferred that she behaved impro-perly with those men whose names have been mentioned? — Yes. Mr. Watt: And these printed circulars you had distributed? —Yes. They contained allegations against your wife? — Yes. You sent them all over Sydney? — Yes, in hundreds. You actually went as far as calling a public meeting? — I did. Your intention was to publicly denounce your wife.? — I was going to show HOW I WAS BEING TREATED. Did you say, in relation to this, that the whole trouble had been brought about by these men determining to get possession of your wife, and to get rid of you? — I don't remember. Do you know a shorthand reporter named Barrow? — No, I never knew a shorthand writer in my life. You convened a public meeting in the Protestant Hall? — I didn't have one. Did you convene one? — I did. And a number of people turned up? — A few. Didn't you say that there were not sufficient to justify you making your charges against these public men then? —Yes. Didn't you tell them (including Barrow) that the whole trouble had been brought about by the conduct of your wife? — Yes. Did you say. "I am determined to force their hand, so that the newspapers will take it up, and the whole world will know the position in which I stand'? — Yes, against those men. Did you say that you would force their hand through the medium of an Inquiry? — Yes. So that the newspapers would take it up? — Yes, I wanted the world to know how those men were persecuting me, and hounding me from one place to another. His Honor: Those men mentioned in that letter?— Yes, they wanted my business. Now, in connection with that circular, you sent it out to various people? — Yes, hundreds of them. His Honor: Who typed it? — There were two people; I forget their names. Who wrote out the drafts? — My daughter Nedda, at my dictation. Mr. Watt: These circulars went all over Sydney? — I sent them everywhere, and to the MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. And even to the Premier of the State? —I did. Are any of these men against whom you make allegations alive?— All except Mr. Inglis. That is James Inglis, the tea merchant? — Yes. Why didn't you join the rest as co-respondents? — All this happened six years ago, and how could I get witnesses? Didn't it occur to you to take proceedings in 1908? — It may have. Now, about this 'Evangeline' Company you were with. It was an American troupe of vocal artists? — Yes. They left with a very nasty reputation, didn't they? — They may have. Didn't you know they did, sir? Answer me. — I don't know. Do you swear that your wife was one of their members? — Certainly she was. And travelled about with you before you were married? — Certainly. What do you insinuate? — Nothing. What was the first occasion on which your wife gave an exhibition of her temper? — When we were in Melbourne, we arranged to go into the city one day, and I didn't have my dress coat on. She flared up because I did not put it on, and fasted for three nights and two days. She went to bed, and didn't touch a thing, either to eat or drink. Then she came and put her arms around my neck, and I got SOME WINE AND BISCUITS and fed her. About that song, wasn't It very popular? — It may have been. Weren't the very dogs in the streets barking it?— I don't know. I believe it was popular after a while. By the way, you also stood in the street handing out those circulars broadcast?— I did. What did you mean by saying 'that a judge of the High Court ruled that those gentlemen were privileged in preventing you obtaining your livelihood'?— I was kicked into the 'gutter from every place where I got employment, because these people, or one of them, communicated with my employer, and made charges against me. The charges against me were made in a private letter to my employer, and that communication was held to be privileged. Whiting said that my character and credit were bad, and it was because of that that I was turned out of my employment. I sued him for slander, with the result I have mentioned. Nedda Moss, daughter of the parties, said that her father always treated the petitioner kindly. Witness gave evidence on the lines indicated by respondent's evidence. Witness, because of the harsh treatment meted out to her, pinned a piece of paper on her mother's pillow, on which she had written the following Scriptural quotation, 'Have not favor among thy children.' Her mother THREATENED TO FRAME IT, and show it to everyone, and so witness burnt it. Petitioner thrashed witness a good deal. Mr. Watt: You used to hang about the fire station instead of returning home from school, didn't you? — I used to look in there. Your mother beat you for it? — Never. She forbade you to do it?— Yes. You defied her?— I never spoke to the gentleman afterwards. You were taken to Dr. Bohrsmann?— Yes; many times. He examined you? — Yes. You were a small child then? — Yes, about 12. This was before you gave up seeing this fireman? — No; I didn't know him then. His Honor: What has all this to do with the case? Mr. Watt: You were dismissed from Miss Quirk's employ because you did not account for some change?— No; another girl was put on, and there was no work for me. Samuel Cook, a solicitor, said that he tried to reconcile the parties, but Mrs. Moss said that things had gone too far. David Stewart, an athletic young man. with big ears, said that Moss and his wife appeared to be very happy and comfortable. They appeared affectionate. Mr. Watt: Did you invite yourself to that Kurnell picnic?— No; I was invited. This concluded the evidence. His Honor said that he would reserve his decision, as he wanted to study the evidence and peruse the documents. Sun (Sydney, NSW : 1910 - 1954), Tuesday 14 May 1912, page 9MOSS DIVORCE SUIT.JUDGMENT DELIVERED. PETITION DISMISSED.Mr, Justice Gordon, in the Divorce Court today, delivered his reserved Judgment in the suit In which Louisa, Moss (formerly- Collis) petitioned for a dissolution of her marriage with Edward Elias Moss. Constructive desertion was relied on. His Honor said the case for the petitioner was admitted to be one of constructive desertion, because on the facts It was the petitioner who left the matrimonial home of the parties about the middle of July, 1906. The case on her behalf was that she had been compelled by the respondent's conduct to leave the home. The authorities all indicated that It was necessary to show In a case of constructive desertion that the separation was caused by the guilty party's conduct, that conduct being committed with the Intention of causing a separation. On the' whole of the evidence his -Honor was of the opinion that the petitioner had proved that the respondent had without foundation whatever accused her of impropriety with other men. These accusations finally led to a separation, but his Honor was satisfied on the evidence that it was contrary to the husband's wish. that the petitioner went away, and contrary to. his attempts for a reconciliation. The petitioner had failed to make out a case of constructive desertion, and accordingly ho would dismiss her petition. Taking into consideration, however, the respondent's conduct In the past and his conduct since, his Honor thought the facts were such that the petitioner, If she desired it, was entitled to a decree for a judicial separation. The matter was allowed to stand over to enable the petitioner's attorney to consult with his clientTruth (Sydney, NSW : 1894 - 1954), Sunday 19 May 1912, page 4A JAUNDICED JEALOUS JEW.Circularises the City with Cruel Charges. ALLEGING ADULTERY AGAINST HIS WIFE.JUDGE GORDON'S JUDICIAL JOLTS AT E. E. MOSS. DIVORCE PETITION DISMISSED. In the Divorce Court on Tuesday Judge Gordon delivered his reserved judgment In the suit In which Lousia Moss (formerly Collis) petitioned for a divorce from Edward Elias Moss on the ground of constructive desertion. Issues were raised on behalf of the respondent, charging his wife with adultery with Osborne, and with adultery with men unknown to petitioner, and with desertion.His Honor said that with regard to the issues raised on behalf of the respondent charging his wife with adultery, they were abandoned on the very sound advice of Mr. E. R. Abigail, Moss's solicitor, and the third issue of desertion was not pressed. The case admittedly was one of constructive desertion, because it was the petitioner who left the matri-monial home in the middle of July, 1906, having been COMPELLED TO DO SO by the respondent's continued bad conduct. The law regarding constructive desertion was set out in the case- Satchett v. Satchett, where it was pointed out that 'there must be a cessation of cohabitation and an intention on the part of the accused party (the respondent) to desert the other." There must be an intention to permanently create a separation between the parties before a plea of constructive desertion could be set up. ? 'There. is one matter I desire to refer to," added his Honor, "and it is the charge by the petitioner against her husband, wherein she alleged certain things against him, and says that he desired to take unnatural liberties with her. Of course, the evidence rests entirely upon her testimony. from the circumstances of the case it Is not to be expected that there would be any corroboration of the actual fact. She said that she resented this extremely, and that that was part of the misconduct which compelled her to leave him. The respondent absolutely denies this, but although we do not expect to find corroboration of the actual fact we would expect to find some corroboration in the conduct of the petitioner herself. Here there is none. She says that she never mentioned to anyone. That is not unnatural. The girl Sutton knew nothing of it, and she said that she saw no reason up to a certain time why the parties should not live happily together. Mrs. Moss says that this con-duct, which must have been grossly harrying to her feelings, continued right up to the time they separated. Now, there was another room in the house where the daughter Nedda slept, and al-though the husband continued to be guilty of these acts of misconduct she never ; left the bedroom which he also occupied, nor did she leave his bed. Therefore, do not think that it would be wise for the court to say that the petitioner has proved her case in this regard. 'The other portion of the misconduct is contained in the allegation that Moss repeatedly charged her with infidelity. He accused her of making use of her personal charms and with being unfaithful to him in order to get orders from the wholesale houses. These charges were continued right up to the time she left him. In my opinion what she says is true. He had absolutely no foundation for this absurd Jealousy, and made no attempt to prove the charges.' After reviewing the evidence at some length his Honor continued, and said that he was of the opinion that the petitioner left the home against the respondent's wish. He had everything to lose by her going. Attempts at a reconciliation were made, but the petitioner was determined not to stay. She had taken the business from him and got it INTO HER OWN NAME. She resisted all overtures at a settlement of their matrimonial differences, and consequently how could his Honor say that she had made out a case of constructive desertion? 'The respondent when irritated,' said his Honor, 'always accused his wife of infidelity, and his subsequent conduct is indefensible. It Is more than that: it is grossly improper, and not only is improper, but wickedly cruel. To people whom he met in the street, to their friends, and to the public generally, he disseminated accusations against her in the form of circulars — accusations which he did not attempt to substantiate here whatever and in support of which there is no evidence. He accused her of wholesale immorality. Not only did he do that, but he did what in my mind is absolutely indefensible and a MORE GRIEVOUS WRONG: he got the child of their marriage (Nedda) to write her mother a letter charging her with adultery. It is bad enough to charge his wife herself: it is bad enough for him to inform people In the street that she committed adultery; it is bad enough for him to disseminate literally by thousands circulars charging his wife with adultery. But what can we think of this action? He caps all when he got his child to accuse her mother of immorality. I shall not refer to it any more. To my mind it is the grossest act possible that can be committed by a man against a woman.' His Honor added that, taking into consideration the respondent's conduct in the past and his conduct right up to the hearing of the evidence, he (his Honor) was of the opinion that Mrs. Moss was entitled to a judicial separation, and he WOULD GRANT IT If she so desired. * The matter was adjourned until the following day. On Wednesday the matter of a judicial separation was argued at considerable length, his Honor eventually dismissing the petition for a divorce and granting the petitioner a judicial separation without costs. She was granted the custody of the boy, the respondent to have access to himSun (Sydney, NSW : 1910 - 1954), Friday 22 November 1912, page 2THREE SALES.Another property to be sold is the well-known Astolat Estate at Randwick,. which will include Astolat House, with a spacious frontage to Frenchman's-road.

Edward Elias Moss, which was heard before Mr. Justice Gordon. The wife had asked for a dissolution of her mar-riage on the ground of constructive desertion. His Honor, after hearing evidence, found that on the facts there was no desertion, and dismissed the petition; but on the applica tion of Mr. Watt, counsel tor the petitioner, a decree for judicial separation was granted. The petitioner now appealed against the dis-missal of her suit for divorce on the ground that on the evidence she was entitled to a decree that her marriage with respondent should be dissolved, and that on the findings of the Court on the facts it must be pre-sumed that the husband intended the natural consequences of his acts, and his Honor was in error in holding that there was no desertion as a matter of law.Mr. Rolin, K.C., and Mr. Norris, instructed by Messrs, Boyce and Magney, appeared for the appellant, the wife, and Mr. Perry, in-structed by Mr. E. R. Abigail, for the re-spondent. The case stands part heard,Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Saturday 21 December 1912, page 8DIVORCE PETITION GRANTED.MOSS v MOSS.Judgment was delivered in this case, in which Louisa Moss (formerly Collis) appealed against a judgment of Mr. Justice Gordon in the Divorce Court, in a suit brought by her against Edward Elias Moss. The parties were married at Fitzroy, Melbourne, by the Rev. —. Kinsman, on March 14, 1892. The suit was based on the ground of desertion, and his Honor dismissed the petition for divorce, granting a decree for judicial separation.The grounds of the appeal were that on the evidence the petitioner was in law entitled to a decree that her marriage with the respon-dent be dissolved, and that his Honor was in error in holding that there was no desertion as a matter of law.Mr. Rolin, K.C., and Mr. Norris, instructed by Messrs. Boyce and Magney, appeared for the appellant; and Mr. Perry, instructed by Mr. E. R. Abigail, for the respondent.The Chief Justice said this was a wife's petition for dissolution on the grounds of de-sertion for three years and upwards. The desertion set up is what is called construc-tive desertion—that is to say, that the co-habitation was brought to an end by conduct on the part of the husband of such a character as practically to compel the wife to leave the matrimonial home. The learned Judge granted a decree of judicial separation on the ground of the conduct of the husband, sub-sequent to the cessation of cohabitation. The wife now appeals from the refusal of a decree of dissolution. The case for the wife was that for six months at least before she left home she was subjected to a series of insults and physical outrages of such a character that no self-respecting woman could continue cohabitation, and that the conduct has seriously impaired her health. The husband's conduct, subsequent to the separation, was of an outrageous character, and such as to render the wife's return to cohabitation practically impossible. Under these circum-stances, even If the original separation should be regarded as intended by the husband to be temporary only, I think that a fresh intention to make it permanent must be imputed to him. (White v While, 7 C.L.R., 477.) I think, therefore, that a case of desertion is established, and that a decree of dissolution should be pronounced.Mr. Justice Isaacs, said he agreed with the Chief Justice, and did not wish to add any-thing. Mr. Justice Isaacs, in a separate judgment, also agreed.The Chief Justice then pronounced the decision of the Court, which was that a decree nisi should issue, returnable in six months. Costs were allowed.1913 Sands Directory SydneyNameOccupationAddressWilliam Whiting Marsden St, ParramattaKeith M WhitingPhysician & surgeonMarsden St, Parramatta1914 Sands Directory SydneyNameOccupationAddressWilliam Whiting NOT LISTEDKeith M WhitingPhysician & surgeonMarsden St, Parramatta1915 Sands Directory SydneyNameOccupationAddressWilliam Whiting NOT LISTEDKeith M WhitingPhysician & surgeonMarsden St, Parramatta2 Feb 1915 NSW Marriage IndexVera Whiting married Fergus McIntyre at Newtown.
