Details: In recognition of the expansion of Newcastle, a Crown Land sale was held in May, 1868. The land was described as being in the vicinity of Waratah and Tighes Bridge. On the first day of the sale about 10 people turned up and only a few blocks were sold. Next day however, more than 100 attended, bidding was spirited and the prices obtained were well above the reserves set. There were 93 lots, some called town lots, others suburban and others country lots. The country areas ranged up to 321 acres but few were interested in them. The total amount realised was £2585 6s Id. For one of the suburban lots, Mr. Peter Crebert, the celebrated orchardist and vine-grower, paid £15 an acre for 11 acres. Mr. W. A.

Details: Among the passengers who perished in the ill-fated steamer Dandenong there was none more widely known than Mr. James Barron Winship. Born in Durham in England, in 1819 he began his business career in the coal mines of that and the adjoining county. Thence he passed to Derbyshire, where he obtained the position of manager of Lord Chesterfield s coal mines, and subsequently he assumed the management of a colliery near Preston in Lancashire. Whilst at this place, the Australian Agricultural Company offered him the appointment of viewer or mining engineer in their coal mines at Newcastle, in this colony. The offer was accepted and for fifteen years he served the company in a skilful and prudent manner. Some time ago he resigned his office with a view to assuming the management of a new coal company. In this venture he was himself largely interested, providing two sevenths of the capital. He visited Melbourne with Mr. F. Ash one of his fellow- partners for the purpose of arranging the details with co-partners there, and he was returning when he met with his death, Mr. Ash providentially escaping a similar fate. Probably there was no man better known in Newcastle and its neighbourhood than Mr. Winship, and his loss will be felt by the district. He was of an energetic and speculative disposition, and ever ready to embark in any enterprise calculated to promote the general prosperity.
