Details: A miniature bust, of finest Carrara marble, costing £200, was brought from Italy. After many vicissitudes it stands to-day in the stables of Mr. R. McAuliffe, who is considering offering it to the City Council as a historic adornment tor the Town Hall. The history of this bust, which is mounted on a pedestal of colored Venetian marble, is known to few of the present generation. Mr. D. L Meldrum, of Robert-street, Wickham, helped to prepare the clay for the original model. He was at that time apprenticed to Lock and Doherty, and later he was a partner in Meldrum and Markey, which followed Lock and Doherty in Union-street. The two busts were ordered from Italy, and a shilling fund was open ed. The appeal did not come up to expectations. It was seven years be fore sufficient money could be raised to take delivery of the large monument from Lock and Doherty and have it erected in Newcastle. Even then the full amount, according to Mr. Meldrum, was not paid. The miniature statue was left on the hands of Mr. G. P. Lock. Although it was worth every bit of £200, and is still worth it as a work of art, according to Mr. Meldrum, it was impossible to dispose of it. When Mr. Meldrum came into possession of the statue, as a partner in the firm of Meldrum and Markey, which acquired the business in Union- street, he tried to find a buyer, and efforts were made to interest trade unionists by exhibiting it in a shop window during a Labor Day march. It was labelled, The Working Mans Friend. Eventually, said Mr. Meldrum, the owner of the shop asked for it to be taken away because so many people were coming in to ask who he was. For some time it was exhibited at the Technical College. The miniature statue, now in the possession of Mr. McAuliffe, was acquired by him at small cost. Mr. Meldrum recalled that a man named Parsons executed a fine wooden bust of James Fletcher in the early days, but what happened to that he did not know. James Fletcher was born in Scot land in 1834. He started life as a miner, and arriving in New South Wales at the age of 18, he worked for a time in a small coal mine in the Newcastle district. Then he tried his luck on the goldfields. Returning to Newcastle, he worked as a miner in the A.A. Company Borehole Colliery at Hamilton. He entered into public life by seeking redress for the miners, who had many grievances. An early miners union was formed at a meeting at which he presided in a paddock near the pit. The movement grew. In 1854 he became chairman of the Miners Association. He was associated with many reforms in the industry. He was repeatedly asked by the miners to stand as a candidate for Parliament. During a general strike in 1861 coal was discovered at Plattsburg. After the strike Fletcher, with others, entered into an agreement to lease some land with the right to mine coal. The Cooperative Coal Company was the result.

Details: This Statue was created by G.P. Lock, sculptor, marble and granite merchant of Hunter Street West, Newcastle BIOGRAPHY OF JAMES FLETCHER: Overlooking the Pacific Ocean from Newcastle s lower park in Watt street stands a statue of James Fletcher, probably the most outstanding figure in the history of the Newcastle district and particularly of Wallsend, who died on March 19 1891 at the age of 57 years, after a life of noble purpose, much achievement, and honoured by the community whom he loved, and who loved him. James Fletcher was a self-made man, and he afforded a striking example of what courage, integrity, mental power, and determination could accomplish. He was born in Dalkeith in East Lothian, Scotland, in 1834, and when very young worked as a coal-miner. In 1852 he arrived in New South Wales, and after working for a short period in a small coal mine in the Newcastle district, tried his fortunes on the gold mines. Returning after a few months, he went to work as a miner in the A.A. Company Borehole pit. It is said that his public life started from that period for he at once took an active part in trying to obtain redress of the grievances from which the miners were suffering. The first society or union was formed at a meeting over which he presided, in a paddock near the Borehole Colliery. In a powerful speech, characteristic of the man he advocated the formation of the union which has grown to be the strongest Industrial organisation in Australia. On August 19, 1861, a general strike took place, and from that date Mr. Fletcher rapidly rose as a public man
