Details:
He was the last member of the family of the late Mr. John Callaghan, who was one of the pioneers of these parts. The latter arrived in Sydney from Great Britain in May 1828 in the 450 tons sailing vessel Alexander Henry. Accompanying him was the family of the late Captain Hungerford one of whom Rev. Septimus Hungerford of Sydney celebrated the 100 anniversary of his birth a fortnight ago. Mr. T.J. Callaghan was taken ill on Thursday night last, and pneumonia supervened, and resulted in his death. He was a wonderful man in many respects and up to the end retained his faculties. His memory was most retentive, and he had a clear recollection of happenings in the district up to three quarters of a century ago. He was born on July 26 1836 in High Street West Maitland in premises now occupied by A.S. Mehan and Co., but which were then the Settlers Arms Inn, of which his father was the licensee. His father built the premises next the fire station, first known as the Plough Inn, later as Tattersall s Hotel; and more recently as the Trocadero boarding house. It was licensed for nearly 80 years, the greatest part of the time being held by the Callaghan family. Mr. T.J. Callaghan himself was one who held the license. Previously he was in the Metropolitan Hotel for 17 years, the Homeville and Courthouse Hotels. He retired from Tattersall s Hotel 14 years ago. During the whole of his life of 89 years he lived in or near West Maitland. In his earlier days, Mr. Callaghan conducted farming and cattle dealing at Fishery Creek. He was a noted horseman and recognised as a great judge of cattle. He was also keenly interested in the work of assisting in recording the early history of Maitland. Having such a clear memory he proved a great source of information and delighted in talking of old times. Shortly after their arrival in Sydney his parents came to these parts. They acquired property here and on areas which now form part of the South Maitland coalfields which later became the towns of Abermain and Weston Soldiers Settlements. A farm near East Greta was held by Callaghan family members for nearly 100 years

Thomas Davis per ship Dunvegan Castle, assigned to Hugh Cameron, charged with insolence and disobedience and killing a calf. Mr. Cameron states - The prisoner is my assigned servant; on the morning of 17th March last the prisoner who is employed as stockman, reported that a calf had dropped down dead in the yard; upon skinning the animal I found upon the forehead a mark which had evidently been caused by a violent blow. I suspected the prisoner from his often maltreating the cattle in his charge; and on Saturday evening last I ordered him to take a case with some clothes into the house; he said he would take it in when he thought proper; he came in about an hour after with the clothes and shook his hand violently in my face saying he would not be ordered by me and appeared ready to strike me when a dog which was with me kept him at a distance; and last Sunday morning I ordered him to give milk to a foal which had left its mother, as usual he brought some milk and put it down at my foot and told me to do what I pleased with it and then went off. The prisoner states in his defence that he does not know how the calf got hurt and denies shaking his hand in his masters face. With regard to refusing to give the foal milk, the foal was out in the bush at the time and I had been employed from sun rise in the morning bringing in cattle and milking them and it was then one o clock and I had got no breakfast; and nobody knew where the foal was; during the week days he was brought to me by another man when he could be found to be freed that he is obliged to bring in upwards of a hundred and twenty head of cattle and to milk twelve or fifteen of them and then go to some other work until within an hour of sun down when he is obliged to go and bring in the cattle again and it is often dark before he finds them; that with regard to taking in the clothes he admits that he did not take it at the time he ordered him as he was going to see his mess divided. Thomas Cameron states - I saw the prisoner shake his hand in my father s face - it did not appear to me that it was with the intention of striking him, saying he would not be abused by him or anyone else. I was present when my father directed the man to feed the foal; it was then about 12 o clock. I heard him say that he had not got any breakfast. The foal was in the bush at the time. The Bench find the prisoner guilty of disobedience and disrespect to his master by not taking in the case and clothes when he was direct to do so but acquit him of the charge of killing the calf and sentence him to rec3ive twenty lashes but direct that a reasonable time shall be allowed him to get his food and if his master had occasion to employ him after the usual hours that he shall make him an allowance for it during the day
