Details: The Liverpool Plains Massacre - (Myall Creek Massacre) - The trial took place in the Supreme Court on Thursday 29th November, before is Honor Judge Burton and the following civil jury: - Mr. John Sewell, Foreman; Mr. William Knight of Castlereagh Street; Mr. Francis King, soap boiler, King Street; Mr. John Little, publican, King Street; Mr. Richard Leworthy, tailor, George Street; Mr. Henry Linden; Mr. Benjamin Lees, Parramatta; Mr. E. Hyland, Redwood; Mr. W. Johnson; Mr. Alexander Long, publican, York Street; Mr. John Leary, publican, York Street, and Mr. William Jones, Pitt Town. The prisoners arraigned at the bar were Charles Kilmaister, James Oates, Edward Foley, John Johnson, John Russell, William Hawkins and James Parry. The indictment contained twenty counts, the first five charging the prisoners with the murder of an aboriginal child; the next five with the murder of a male aboriginal child; the next five with the murder of a female aboriginal child, and the last five with the murder of an aboriginal boy named Charlie. The case for the prosecution was conducted by the Attorney General, assisted by Mr. Therry. The defence was conducted by Messrs A'Beckett, Foster and Windeyer, who had been specially retained for that purpose by the Hunter River Black Association. Witnesses included Thomas Foster, superintendent on the estate of Dr. Newton at the Big River about 150 miles beyond Invermein; William Hobbs, superintendent on Henry Dangar’s estate at the Big River; Edward Denny Day, Police Magistrate; George Anderson, an assigned servant of Henry Dangar; John Bates, assigned servant to Mr. Dight of Richmond and employed on Dight’s station at the Big River; Mr. Kinnear Robertson, Colonial Surgeon; Robert Sexton, assigned servant to Dr. Newton; Charles Reid, a ticket of leave holder employed by Henry Dangar; Andrew Burrows, an assigned servant to Henry Dangar. At a quarter past one the Jury retired, and at two o’clock returned to Court with a verdict, finding the prisoners guilty on the first five counts of the indictment and acquitting them on the last five. On Tuesday morning 18 December 1838 at nine o’clock, Kilmaister, Hawkins, Johnson, Parry, Foley, Oates and Russell, the seven men convicted of the murder of the blacks at Liverpool Plains, underwent the last penalty of the law at the rear of the gaol. From the time they received sentence, even up to the morning of their execution, there were many persons who thought it probably that the sentence would not be carried into execution, and attempts were made by petitioning His Excellency to extend mercy to them; but the reply was, that the law must be carried into effect. Shortly before nine a guard of eighteen men of the 59th regiment under the command of Lieut. Sheaffe arrived and immediately afterwards the Sheriff. The men had been engaged in their religious exercise previously and when the clock struck nine, the procession began to move. Kilmaister, Hawkins, Johnson and Parry, Protestants, were attended by the Rev. Mr. Cowper and Mr. Hyndes of Sussex Street; and Foley Oates and Russell, Catholics by the Rev. F. Murphy. They seemed greatly dejected, and Russell was much agitated, that he was obliged to cling to the Priest’s coat for support. As soon as they had entered the yard, the High Sheriff read over to them the warrant for their execution, which he said by a letter from His Excellency the Governor had been appointed to take place that morning. When the warrant had been read over, Foley, the youngest of the culprits, addressed Mr. Macquoid and requested permission to embrace his unfortunate companions and the request being complied with, they kissed and shook each others hands and with eyes streaming with tears, bade each other a last adieu. The shook hands with Mr. Keck and embraced Mr. Hibbs the turnkey and then knelt down and proceeded with their devotions at the close of which they mounted the scaffold, attended by the clergymen who continued to exhort them while the final preparations were being completed. These don, the Rev. Gentlemen and the executioners descended from the scaffold, and in the short interval that followed previously to the falling of the drop, the cries of the men to God for mercy were distinctly audible, and they were soon launched into eternity

Details: Recollections of Joseph Parry - To be ninety years old and to possess an eyesight that would be the envy of men his junior by a few score years; to bear life cheerfully, ever thankful of the good health that has always been his through a long life that has had nothing but hard work to sustain it. This introduces as near as possible Mr. Joseph Parry, aged 90, a citizen of Hamilton-road, Hamilton, a native of Flintshire, North Wales, which name perhaps provides the clue to the secret of his remarkable physical condition - for old as he is that tall gaunt figure gives an impression of being tough as flint. Mr. Parry has lived in Australia for close upon 70 years having arrived here in January l0, 1859, (probably disembarked on this date) after a four months voyage from England in the wind jammer, Admiral Lyons. FOUR MONTHS TRIP Four months seems a long time to be at sea, but the Admiral Lyons was considered a flier of her day, when voyages to the colonies (as Australia and New Zealand were then called), occupied from six to nine months. Mr. Parry s birthplace was on the historic river Dee. Speaking of conditions in Wales 70 years ago, he said that it was customary to work for 1s per day (72 to 80 hours per week). So that upon coming to Australia where the wages were much higher - laborers received 5s to 6s a day - they were considered most fortunate. MEAT 10S PER LB But as the narrator pointed out the wages were in proportion to the cost of living and people were well able to subsist in comfort on that amount. A pound of beef could be bought for 1d and a loaf of bread cost about the same. Mr. Parry s wonderful memory never fails him. He can recollect some of the ship s officers of the Admiral Lyons, the day of the month and the year of leaving England and the arrival here; the date of the erection of the Presbyterian Church at Kiama (one of the first places at which Mr. Parry lived) - he built the church; also the building of the Congregational Church at Lambton (some more of his work). He spent 60 years at Lambton. He remembers these happenings (as well as most people re call the events of a few weeks past). Both took place more than 50 years ago. HIS DAILY SHAVE Besides having an excellent memory and superb eyesight, Mr. Parry is very active and until recently made his daily visit to the barbers for a shave. He and Mr Richard Thomas built the church at Lambton. For this they carted the stone, quarried near by, in wheelbarrows. They put up the building, which still stands, as a free gift to the town. His partner in this undertaking is still located at the village of perpetual darkness - as Lambton is described. Paddle-wheel boats brought travellers to Newcastle in the sixties and it it was from the deck of one of these ancient Leviathans that Mr. Parry first viewed Newcastle. Owing to the failure of (the Rockhampton (Queensland) diggings he came to Newcastle. The port was then, teeming with a motley collection of adventurers seeking work — tinkers, tailors, soldiers and sailors from every country under the sun — and the only work offering was at the coal mines. SCRUB IN HUNTER STREET. Curiously enough, one of the most important business houses of the time still stands in Newcastle. There were not many - for dense scrub commenced where Neve s furnishing arcade is now situated, and the rest was almost trackless bush. Where Scott s and Winn s now stand it was quite possible to lose oneself. The only means of locomotion to the two small coal mines, that at Lambton and Minmi, was per boot. The old-time house mentioned was that of Robert Ingall which is now incorporated in the firm of R. Ingall and Son. The A. A. Company s bridge was opened a year or two previous, and Mr. Parry has lately been able to witness its demolition - after serving its very useful purpose of carrying the lines on which the trains ran, bringing coal for the ships through a term of nearly 70 years. Newcastle at that time consisted of a few scattered shops and a solitary wharf, while Hamilton comprised about half a dozen miners huts, set in a forest of scrub. Cooks Hill and Merewether were not known, while at Hamilton, Wallsend and Minmi a score or more huts clustered round the mines gave those towns their names. The rest of the scenery was virgin bush. The coal was loaded by very primitive methods, almost in the heart of the town. The streets were strewn with coal dust all day and every day blown there from the coal wharf by the winds from the ocean. ORIGIN OF BULLOCK ISLAND Carrington (or Bullock Island) was mud flat, which grew a little grass and served the purpose of a temporary grazing and rest area for cattle brought to market from the north— hence its name. In order to reach this oasis in a desert of coal dust, it was customary to swim the cattle across the harbour. 30 YEARS IN MINES Mr. Parry spent about 30 years in Kiama (which was then practically a Welsh settlement), Minmi and Lamb ton, mostly in the mines. A shipmate, William Humphries. whose son now conducts the Wallsend Methodist Church choir, was afterwards killed in a mining disaster
