Details: Extract - OPENING OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AT PIT TOWN, OR THE BORE HOLE, NEWCASTLE. THE Australian Agricultural Company having granted an allotment or ground for the erection of a Presbyterian Church under the spiritual superintendence of the Synod of New South Wales, for the benefit of the numerous Scotch and other Presbyterian inhabitants of the Company s mining settlement, at the Bore Hole, or Pit Town, which is situated about two miles from Newcastle, a successful effort has been made within the last few months, at the instance, and chiefly through the zealous exertions of the Rev. William Chaucer, the pastor, for the accomplishment of this object, and the Church having been completed accordingly, was opened for divine service on Sabbath, the 6th instant, by the Rev. Dr. Lang, M.P. The Presbyterian Church, at Pit Town, is a neat substantial wooden-building, painted without, and lathed and plastered, and otherwise neatly finished within. It is capable of accommodating about three hundred persons, and has cost about £300. Arthur Hodgson, Esq., M.P. per Newcastle, and Principal Superintendent of the Australian Agricultural Company, having been invited to attend at the opening services, was present on the occasion, as also at the soiree or tea meeting, in the evening of the following day. The congregation, both at the morning and at the evening service on the Sabbath, was numerous, respectable, and to all appearance highly devotional, the church being quite full on both occasions and a considerable number of persons having attended from Newcastle. The introductory prayers, at the opening of the service, both in the morning, and evening, were offered np by the Rev. Mr. Chaucer.

William Chaucer then addressed the Court, and stated that as he had the view of a settlement in the charge of Liverpool, in the presbytery of the Hawkesbury he wished the Court to accept his resignation of the charge of the Lower Hunter, so as to relieve him; and thus give him the opportunity of at once proceeding to the bounds of said presbytery, so as to expedite his settlement and his increased usefulness. It was moved, and unanimously agreed to, that the resignation be accepted, and that Mr. Chaucer be accredited within the bounds of said presbytery.

Details: The Rev. William Chaucer, a Presbyterian clergyman residing in the Newcastle district was arraigned at the Maitland Circuit Court held in April before Mr. Justice Wise with having supplied to the Registrar at Newcastle a false certificate of a marriage celebrated by him. He was found guilty and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment in Darlinghurst gaol. A charge of having unlawfully married a girl under the age of twenty-one years was first preferred against him, and on this the jury found a verdict of not guilty. The case created a great amount of interest not only in the Maitland and Newcastle districts but in Sydney, where much sympathy was expressed with the rev. gentleman. At a meeting of clergymen of various denominations held in the Temperance Hall, Sydney, for the purpose of deliberating on the case, the Rev. J. Voller chairman, said he had been put in possession of the facts of the case by the Crown Solicitor (Mr. Wilshire), and his impression after hearing particulars was that Mr. Chaucer had not only been guilty of a clear gross indiscretion but a violation of the Marriage Act. The ground therefore for petitioning for an entire remission of the sentence was taken from under them, and they could only petition for a com- mutation of the sentence. A committee was appointed to draw up a petition embodying the feelings of the meeting. The hard labour portion of Mr. Chaucer s sentence was after- wards remitted. The agitation, however, for his release was kept up, and on the 24th May the royal prerogative of mercy was exercised by the Governor, and the rev. gentleman was released from gaol.
