The Police Force as a Career

FORMER Inspector of Police Charles Turbet, who died in retirement in Sydney last week, was an example of what may be attained by those who take to police work as a career. ( The most prominent on hand in that way is, of course, the Chief, Mr. Childs, who, a youth from, the country, joined up, and, adding brains to physique, became Commissioner ).

A policeman’s life nowadays is capable of greater acceptance of ability and hard work than it was half a century ago, and those who add strings to their bow have fine opportunities. Mr. Turbet was one of the class that assiduously pursues the side lines and aids. He learned shorthand, and became of great value in that way. He also had a hand in the introduction of the priceless finger-print system.

When he became Superintendent of Traffic he was reaching the topmost branches of the tree, but ill-health had its claim on him. He was 59 years of age.

POLICE PALS

DEATH PARTS TWO IN TWO DAYS

WITHIN two days, death has robbed the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Childs, of two personal friends, who were formerly associated with him in the force.

The ex-superintendent of Traffic, Mr. Charles Turbet, died on Wednesday night, and ex-Superintendent John Evans, who retired 18 years ago, passed away at the Sydney Sanitarium, Wahroonga, last night.

Mr. Turbet was an old schoolmate of Mr. Childs, and Mr. Evans was closely associated with the Commissioner during his early days in the service.

Mr. Evans retired at Tamworth 11 years ago, and then bought a home at Pymble, in which he resided up to the time of his death. He had a record of long and valuable service. He was stationed at Tingha, in the tin mining area, and at Richmond River in the cattle stealing days. He was associated with many important cases, including the Wardell murder, which attracted much attention.

Mr. Childs met Mr. Evans, who was then the sergeant in charge at Armidale, 30 years ago. The present Commissioner was then serving in the town as district clerk to Superintendent Garvin, who rose to the office now occupied by Mr. Childs.

Before joining the service in N.S.W., Mr. Evans served with the Cornish police, in which he was a colleague of the late Inspector Sobye.

SUPERINTENDENT TURBET.
Death Announced.
Mr. Charles Turbet, former superintendent of the Police Traffic Department, died at his home, Dolphin-street, Randwick, at a late hour last night.

He had been in ill-health for a long time. Mr. Turbet entered the police force in 1892, and spent most of his police career in the Traffic Branch, in which he became inspector in 1922.

Upon the retirement of Superintendent Brack in 1924, Charles took charge of the branch. Ill-health, however, interfered with his service.

In August, 1928, he underwent a serious operation. He resumed duty in February last year ( 1929 ), but in the following month he again became ill.

He retired from the service last May ( 1929 ).

During Mr. Turbet’s regime at the Traffic Office the handling of motor traffic in the city became a serious problem. In September, 1924, Mr. Turbet visited America and studied motor traffic problems. It was on Mr. Turbet’s advice that the city parking regulations and other traffic regulations, including that relating to motor buses, were framed. Mr. Turbet, who was 59 years of age, is survived by Mrs. Turbet, three sons, Messrs. Charles, chief veterinary officer in Suva, James, and Norman Turbet, and two daughters, Mrs. Lance Robey and Mrs. Jack Martin. The funeral will take place at the Randwick Cemetery tomorrow, following a service at the Randwick Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Turbet was an elder.

EX-POLICE INSPECTOR SOBYE.

The funeral of the late ex-police Inspector Nicholas Sobye, of Bobbin Head-road, Pymble, took place on Saturday last, in the Church of England portion of the Northern Suburbs General Cemetery.

Inspector Sobye, joined the New South Wales police on April 1, 1876, and during his 38 years‘ service had many exciting experiences, chiefly in the northern districts of the State.

Before retiring, in 1914, he had charge of a metropolitan division, and was held in very high esteem by departmental officers and public alike.

Amongst those present at the interment were ex-Superintendents Walker and John Evans and Inspector Fowler, of the Police Department. Numerous wreaths were sent. Including one from Superintendent Childs, of Newcastle.

Forty Years in the Police Force.

SUPERINTENDENT EVANS’ CAREER.

On Saturday last ( 9 March 1912 ) there retired from the police force of New South Wales Superintendent John Evans, who on Sunday reached the age of 60 years. For some time prior to his retirement Superintendent Evans was stationed at Tamworth, in charge of the North-Western district, but there are still many living in this district who will remember him when, back in the 80’s ( 1880s ), he was stationed on the Richmond, at Ballina and Casino, and some years later at Lismore. The retiring Superintendent has just concluded a long and honorable service of 70 years in the cause of law and order. His police experience was not wholly gained in Australia. He has to thank the Cornish constabulary for a good initial grounding. At the age of 20, full of life and energy, he joined the force in Cornwall in 1872, remaining in the service three years. He had great admiration for his old chief and when the call of Australia came to him, his superior officer remarked : ” What, going to Australia to shoot kangaroos ? ” Evidently the colonies were not then associated with anything much more than kangaroos, and no doubt with blacks and bush rangers. Perhaps the spirit of adventure was deeply developed in the young officer, who, by the way, had gained the distinction of being one of the best wrestlers of the corps. The members of the constabulary gave their late comrade a hearty send-off on his voyage to distant shores.

A bosom friend of Constable Evans in the Cornish constabulary was Constable Sobye, now Sub-Inspector Sobye, of No. 1 Station, Clarence street, Sydney. They resigned at the same time, and journeyed to Australia together.

Superintendent Evans landed at Melbourne, where he had relatives, and after spending a few months in Victoria, made his way to Sydney, and in March, 1876, was accepted as a member of the N.S. Wales police force, being sent in the usual course to the depot. He did not remain long there, however. The authorities saw that he already possessed the training of a constable, and so, a fortnight after joining, he was sent to Armidale for duty. In 18 months’ time he was promoted to first-class constable, and placed in charge of Armidale stables, becoming senior mounted man. In another six months‘ time — the latter end of 1878 — he was transferred to Inverell, where he took up the duties of Sergeant Farnsworth ( retired ) under Sub-Inspector Harrison. Both these officers are now dead.

Shortly after Constable Evans went to Inverell, robberies from drunken men were of almost nightly occurrence. The officer determined to end them. Two or three men were suspected, but they managed to escape the clutches of the law till the wily officer arranged a trap. He himself lay down near a man he discovered drunk in the gutter, and by-and-bye two men came along. The night was light enough for the officer to distinguish their features, and when they commenced operating on the drunken man the disguised officer suddenly sprang up. The robbers were not mild characters, and they immediately started an assault on the constable. They gave him a bad time, but the officer, too, gave them a rough handling in attempting their arrest. The odds were too great against him, however, and they got away, but were speedily captured by other police, and subsequently received the reward for their misdeeds. The injuries sustained by Evans on this occasion were so severe that he was taken to the hospital in an unconscious state, remaining a patient for six weeks. While in the station he received notice of his promotion to the position of Senior Constable.

Gambling was rife at Tingha, some miles distant. Periodically, raids were made by the Inverell, Tingha, and other police. One night was particularly eventful. Thirty or forty Chinese had been arrested, and were on their way to Tingha lockup, when Senior-constable Evans was informed of the whereabouts of the ” keeper, ” who had made his escape by bursting through a window on detecting the approach of the police. The officer and the informer proceeded to the place, and found their man all right. They also found about 300 yelling, infuriated Chinamen. The presence of an informer and an officer of the law roused them to a great pitch of excitement, and they rushed the two, brandishing all kinds of weapons. It was an unenviable position for the officer and his companion. The constable fought for his life, and knocked the Chinese down like nine-pins, using both baton and fist. Still the Celestials came on, but many were felled to the ground. One particularly daring fellow he caught by the ‘pigtail,’ and held him, at the same time fighting the others with his right hand.

A Chinaman, wild with rage, here rushed at the officer with a cleaver. With a yell he raised the weapon, but a white man who had appeared on the scene, struck the blow aside. It was just in the nick of time, and the constable’s life was saved. Other whites hurried up, and the police, who had gone on to the lock-up with the prisoners, having heard of the occurrence, came galloping back. The Chinese were soon got under control, and more of their number, including the ‘ keeper,’ kept company with their compatriots in the cells.

Mr. G. H. Parker, who still lives at Tingha, was one of those who went to Constable Evans‘ assistance. If ever there was a time the policeman was tempted to draw the revolver it was on this occasion, but he refrained.

Senior-Constable Evans remained at Inverell until 1884, when he was transferred to Ballina, being stationed at that place for three years. His next shift was to Casino, having been selected to come here in consequence of his success in stock-stealing cases, by the late Inspector General of Police, Mr. Garvin, who at the time was superintendent in charge of the northern districts. A good deal of stock stealing had been going on in the Casino district, and it was Superintendent Garvin‘s opinion that the then Senior-constable Evans was the man to stamp it out. And he did. He came to Casino with the rank of sergeant, and soon got on the tracks of the offenders. Two of them, after their release from gaol, said good-bye to New South Wales, and crossed into Queensland, one being subsequently executed in the northern State on a charge of murder.

The Casino district was thoroughly cleared of crime in the shape of thefts of stock, and in 1894 Sergeant Evans was sent back to Armidale as senior-sergeant. Six years later he was promoted to the position of sub-inspector in charge of Inverell sub-district. In 1904 he was transferred to a similar position at Lismore.

During his career Superintendent Evans dealt with many serious cases. One of considerable interest occurred during his stay at Lismore. Two Hindoos were concerned, and after a lapse of five years the conscience of one troubled him, and he informed the police that his companion had committed murder, and concealed the body. The spot was pointed out, and sure enough the remains of a human being were brought to light. The Hindoo who committed the crime was sentenced to imprisonment for life.

Three years ago, Inspector Evans was sent to Tamworth, as superintendent of the north-western district, and he has administered the division with tact, resourcefulness, and ability, gaining at the same time the respect of the people. Shortly after his arrival at Tamworth he attended the annual meeting of the Prisoners’ Aid Association, and the opportunity was taken advantage of to give him a welcome. At that meeting a leading Sydney barrister described Superintendent Evans as ” a terror to evil doers.”

Superintendent Evans is a splendid horseman. In his prime days he has often been in the saddle for a couple of days at a time, in the chase for desperadoes. He took part in the pursuit of the Breelong blacksmith who spent many a day and night in the bush in search of a robber, ? ‘the hairy man,’ whose name was ? Burns. Superintendent Evans did not know how he came to be called the hairy man, for he was ? means possessed of a sup? dance of hair ; but he knows he committed many robberies in the Bundarra district, and had a habit of sticking up the mail coach. The ‘hairy man‘ was captured by a constable named Byrne, who came across him seated on a log, with two revolvers alongside him.

When Superintendent Evans had more direct charge of the constables — when, for instance, he was sergeant – it was his practice ( says the author of this sketch of his career ) to call a new man into his office, and give him a few words of advice. The first thing he impressed upon the recruit was to be truthful, pointing out that the liberties and lives of people often rested in the hands of constables. ” Don’t make a statement unless you are absolutely sure it is true,” was the officer’s warning.

Superintendent Evans, with Mrs. Evans and his daughter, will leave Sydney on March 27 by tho Otranto, on a trip to England, where he hopes to renew old associations.

POLICE PALS

DEATH PARTS TWO IN TWO DAYS

WITHIN two days, death has robbed the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Childs, of two personal friends, who were formerly associated with him in the force.

The ex-superintendent of Traffic, Mr. Charles Turbet, died on Wednesday night, and ex-Superintendent John Evans, who retired 18 years ago, passed away at the Sydney Sanitarium, Wahroonga, last night.

Mr. Turbet was an old schoolmate of Mr. Childs, and Mr. Evans was closely associated with the Commissioner during his early days in the service.

Mr. Evans retired at Tamworth 11 years ago, and then bought a home at Pymble, in which he resided up to the time of his death. He had a record of long and valuable service. He was stationed at Tingha, in the tin mining area, and at Richmond River in the cattle stealing days. He was associated with many important cases, including the Wardell murder, which attracted much attention.

Mr. Childs met Mr. Evans, who was then the sergeant in charge at Armidale, 30 years ago. The present Commissioner was then serving in the town as district clerk to Superintendent Garvin, who rose to the office now occupied by Mr. Childs.

Before joining the service in N.S.W., Mr. Evans served with the Cornish police, in which he was a colleague of the late Inspector Sobye.

Forty Years in the Police Force.

SUPERINTENDENT EVANS’ CAREER.

On Saturday last ( 9 March 1912 ) there retired from the police force of New South Wales Superintendent John Evans, who on Sunday reached the age of 60 years. For some time prior to his retirement Superintendent Evans was stationed at Tamworth, in charge of the North-Western district, but there are still many living in this district who will remember him when, back in the 80’s ( 1880s ), he was stationed on the Richmond, at Ballina and Casino, and some years later at Lismore. The retiring Superintendent has just concluded a long and honorable service of 70 years in the cause of law and order. His police experience was not wholly gained in Australia. He has to thank the Cornish constabulary for a good initial grounding. At the age of 20, full of life and energy, he joined the force in Cornwall in 1872, remaining in the service three years. He had great admiration for his old chief and when the call of Australia came to him, his superior officer remarked : ” What, going to Australia to shoot kangaroos ? ” Evidently the colonies were not then associated with anything much more than kangaroos, and no doubt with blacks and bush rangers. Perhaps the spirit of adventure was deeply developed in the young officer, who, by the way, had gained the distinction of being one of the best wrestlers of the corps. The members of the constabulary gave their late comrade a hearty send-off on his voyage to distant shores.

A bosom friend of Constable Evans in the Cornish constabulary was Constable Sobye, now Sub-Inspector Sobye, of No. 1 Station, Clarence street, Sydney. They resigned at the same time, and journeyed to Australia together.

Superintendent Evans landed at Melbourne, where he had relatives, and after spending a few months in Victoria, made his way to Sydney, and in March, 1876, was accepted as a member of the N.S. Wales police force, being sent in the usual course to the depot. He did not remain long there, however. The authorities saw that he already possessed the training of a constable, and so, a fortnight after joining, he was sent to Armidale for duty. In 18 months’ time he was promoted to first-class constable, and placed in charge of Armidale stables, becoming senior mounted man. In another six months‘ time — the latter end of 1878 — he was transferred to Inverell, where he took up the duties of Sergeant Farnsworth ( retired ) under Sub-Inspector Harrison. Both these officers are now dead.

Shortly after Constable Evans went to Inverell, robberies from drunken men were of almost nightly occurrence. The officer determined to end them. Two or three men were suspected, but they managed to escape the clutches of the law till the wily officer arranged a trap. He himself lay down near a man he discovered drunk in the gutter, and by-and-bye two men came along. The night was light enough for the officer to distinguish their features, and when they commenced operating on the drunken man the disguised officer suddenly sprang up. The robbers were not mild characters, and they immediately started an assault on the constable. They gave him a bad time, but the officer, too, gave them a rough handling in attempting their arrest. The odds were too great against him, however, and they got away, but were speedily captured by other police, and subsequently received the reward for their misdeeds. The injuries sustained by Evans on this occasion were so severe that he was taken to the hospital in an unconscious state, remaining a patient for six weeks. While in the station he received notice of his promotion to the position of Senior Constable.

Gambling was rife at Tingha, some miles distant. Periodically, raids were made by the Inverell, Tingha, and other police. One night was particularly eventful. Thirty or forty Chinese had been arrested, and were on their way to Tingha lockup, when Senior-constable Evans was informed of the whereabouts of the ” keeper, ” who had made his escape by bursting through a window on detecting the approach of the police. The officer and the informer proceeded to the place, and found their man all right. They also found about 300 yelling, infuriated Chinamen. The presence of an informer and an officer of the law roused them to a great pitch of excitement, and they rushed the two, brandishing all kinds of weapons. It was an unenviable position for the officer and his companion. The constable fought for his life, and knocked the Chinese down like nine-pins, using both baton and fist. Still the Celestials came on, but many were felled to the ground. One particularly daring fellow he caught by the ‘pigtail,’ and held him, at the same time fighting the others with his right hand.

A Chinaman, wild with rage, here rushed at the officer with a cleaver. With a yell he raised the weapon, but a white man who had appeared on the scene, struck the blow aside. It was just in the nick of time, and the constable’s life was saved. Other whites hurried up, and the police, who had gone on to the lock-up with the prisoners, having heard of the occurrence, came galloping back. The Chinese were soon got under control, and more of their number, including the ‘ keeper,’ kept company with their compatriots in the cells.

Mr. G. H. Parker, who still lives at Tingha, was one of those who went to Constable Evans‘ assistance. If ever there was a time the policeman was tempted to draw the revolver it was on this occasion, but he refrained.

Senior-Constable Evans remained at Inverell until 1884, when he was transferred to Ballina, being stationed at that place for three years. His next shift was to Casino, having been selected to come here in consequence of his success in stock-stealing cases, by the late Inspector General of Police, Mr. Garvin, who at the time was superintendent in charge of the northern districts. A good deal of stock stealing had been going on in the Casino district, and it was Superintendent Garvin‘s opinion that the then Senior-constable Evans was the man to stamp it out. And he did. He came to Casino with the rank of sergeant, and soon got on the tracks of the offenders. Two of them, after their release from gaol, said good-bye to New South Wales, and crossed into Queensland, one being subsequently executed in the northern State on a charge of murder.

The Casino district was thoroughly cleared of crime in the shape of thefts of stock, and in 1894 Sergeant Evans was sent back to Armidale as senior-sergeant. Six years later he was promoted to the position of sub-inspector in charge of Inverell sub-district. In 1904 he was transferred to a similar position at Lismore.

During his career Superintendent Evans dealt with many serious cases. One of considerable interest occurred during his stay at Lismore. Two Hindoos were concerned, and after a lapse of five years the conscience of one troubled him, and he informed the police that his companion had committed murder, and concealed the body. The spot was pointed out, and sure enough the remains of a human being were brought to light. The Hindoo who committed the crime was sentenced to imprisonment for life.

Three years ago, Inspector Evans was sent to Tamworth, as superintendent of the north-western district, and he has administered the division with tact, resourcefulness, and ability, gaining at the same time the respect of the people. Shortly after his arrival at Tamworth he attended the annual meeting of the Prisoners’ Aid Association, and the opportunity was taken advantage of to give him a welcome. At that meeting a leading Sydney barrister described Superintendent Evans as ” a terror to evil doers.”

Superintendent Evans is a splendid horseman. In his prime days he has often been in the saddle for a couple of days at a time, in the chase for desperadoes. He took part in the pursuit of the Breelong blacksmith who spent many a day and night in the bush in search of a robber, ? ‘the hairy man,’ whose name was ? Burns. Superintendent Evans did not know how he came to be called the hairy man, for he was ? means possessed of a sup? dance of hair ; but he knows he committed many robberies in the Bundarra district, and had a habit of sticking up the mail coach. The ‘hairy man‘ was captured by a constable named Byrne, who came across him seated on a log, with two revolvers alongside him.

When Superintendent Evans had more direct charge of the constables — when, for instance, he was sergeant – it was his practice ( says the author of this sketch of his career ) to call a new man into his office, and give him a few words of advice. The first thing he impressed upon the recruit was to be truthful, pointing out that the liberties and lives of people often rested in the hands of constables. ” Don’t make a statement unless you are absolutely sure it is true,” was the officer’s warning.

Superintendent Evans, with Mrs. Evans and his daughter, will leave Sydney on March 27 by tho Otranto, on a trip to England, where he hopes to renew old associations.

SHOP BURGLED.

A very retentive mind enabled Constable E. Roughley to make a quick arrest in connection with a shop window robbery in Ware Street, Fairfield, last Sunday night.

Constable Roughley warned several youths off the street at 10 p.m. and noticed one lad take a long black comb from his pocket to do his hair.

Later on passing Mr. W. E. Simpson’s store in Ware Street, he found a window broken and picked up a comb nearby.

At 11p.m., on patrolling the district, he questioned a youth sleeping under a verandah.

The lad went to comb his hair but found his comb missing. The constable produced the comb and arrested the youth, who will appear at Liverpool Police Court to answer the charges.

Several cycle accessories were stolen from the window.

6ft. Snake Invades Home

A scared family unwillingly shared their house last night with a six-foot black snake.

Efforts to catch the snake earlier failed. It escaped after a constable had jumped on it with both feet.

The story was told by Miss Ruby Bonham, who lives with her aged parents and sister, Dorothy, at Prospect Street, Canley Vale.

“My mother, who is a semi-invalid, was lying on a couch in the lounge room yesterday,” said Miss Bonham.

“I was taking a rug to cover her when I heard a loud thump.

Gliding On Cabinet

“Investigating, I found a large black snake gliding over a glass topped cabinet.

“I tried to coax mother outside on a pretext of looking at something, but she said she wanted to sleep.

“Finally, with the aid of my sister, I managed to get her out of the room;”

Once safely outside, the women locked the lounge-room door and called the police.

Constable Roughley, of Fairfield, arrived, and shortly afterward the snake was seen to crawl into a bedroom.

Baton Attack

With baton drawn, the constable sprang to the assault, and aimed at the reptile vigorous blows, all of which missed.

Wriggling behind a wardrobe, the snake found its one possible means of escape — a hole 1¼ inches wide between two floor-boards.

Constable Roughley jumped and landed on the body of the snake with both feet as it wriggled into the hole.

The snake, however, squirmed from beneath the constable’s boots and disappeared.

Last night the bedroom was untenanted and the door securely locked.

The snake was beneath the floor. The occupants of the house were hoping they would be able to sleep.

Around the hole — the only means of exit – are animal traps and a saucer of milk.

POLICEMAN SON AS WITNESS

Mother Mentioned In Divorce Suit

Evidence that he considered his mother had committed adultery in 1929, was given by a son to-day in the Divorce Court.

He was Constable Earl Roughley, 29, stationed at Fairfield. He said he would not say that his mother had treated him well.

William Lindley Marcroft, 58, petitioned for a divorce from Mary Stalker Marcroft, on the ground of her alleged desertion.

Mrs. Marcroft denied wilful desertion, and, in a cross-petition, alleged that, between February 1, 1931, and May 24, 1938, Marcroft committed adultery with Mrs. Essie Roughley. This was denied by Marcroft and Mrs. Roughley.

The parties were married in 1903.

“Holding Hands”

Constable Roughley, said in evidence that he had been subpoenaed to attend court.

Marcroft visited their home at Dural, from 1924, he said. Some times his mother and Marcroft went out in a car together.

Marcroft frequently changed his clothes at the home, and often used their bathroom. If he stayed the night, he used to sleep on a couch in the dining room.

Witness’s mother slept in the front bedroom.

One morning, Roughley said, he saw Marcroft sitting at the side of a bed occupied by his mother. They were talking and holding hands.

Once, his mother asked the children to call Marcroft “father.” Witness left the home in Dural in 1929.

Dr. Louat (for Marcroft): I suggest that your bad relations with your mother arose over a dispute about land left in your father’s will? — No.

Do you consider that up to 1929 your mother committed adultery?— Yes. You do? — On their actions, yes.

Recalled to the box. Marcroft denied all of the allegations against him by Roughley.

The hearing was adjourned until Monday. Dr. Frank Louat (J. H. Yeldham), for Marcroft; Mr. E. Little (Meagher, Sproule and Co.), for Mrs. Marcroft.

FAIRFIELD GIRL HELD UP

MAN WITH REVOLVER DISAPPEARED IN SCRUB

Flourishing what appeared to be a revolver, a man held up a 16-years-old girl in Smithfield road, Fairfield, last night.

Police were told that when the girl said, “Look out – here comes my father,” the man decamped.

Directed by Detective-Sergeant McCarthy (Parramatta), police from Liverpool and Cabramatta, and two wireless patrols, combed the thick scrub in the vicinity, but were unable to find the man.

The girl was returning home from her work in the city.

She had walked about half a mile from the railway, and, when near a dark portion of the road, was confronted by a man.

He presented something resembling a revolver, police state, and ordered her to leave the footpath. This she did.

She then said, “Look out – here comes my father.” At this the man quickly disappeared into the scrub.

Running to her home a few hundred yards away, the girl told her father of the incident, which he immediately reported to Constable Roughley at the Fairfield call-box.

The man was described as being young, and having dark hair.

‘”GOOD LIAR”

Liverpool Theft

MAGISTRATE’S COMMENT

” You’re a good liar – and a rather bad one also,” Magistrate C. Pickup told Frederick Anderson (45) at the Liverpool Police Court on Friday.

Charged, with having on January 23 stolen a loaf of bread, a plum pudding, 1lb. of sausages and 1lb of chops from Liverpool State Hospital, Anderson claimed that the victuals had been given him in a bag by a stranger.

He was fined £3.

Constable Roughley (Liverpool) said that on Thursday morning, after a conversation with Charles Bathie, an attendant at the hospital, he made a search of the grounds around the hospital and after making an examination of the adjoining property, went to a swamp near the Warwick Farm level crossing. ” As I got out on to the Liverpool road, I saw the defendant, walking along the road, and stopped him,” said the constable. ”

He was carrying with him a sugar-bag, and in answer to my questions, he told me that the bag contained food which he had bought. ”

Roughley said that he took defendant back to the Liverpool State Hospital, where Bathie identified him as having stolen some food. He added that, although not sober, defendant, who smelt very strongly of liquor, was not drunk.

Charles George Bathie gave evidence of having ordered defendant off the hospital premises. Defendant said, ” I’ll go when I get my bag. It’s up along the wall. ” Bathie said that after examining the bag he told defendant that its contents were the property of the institution, but defendant refused to hand it over, saying that it belonged to him. Witness next saw him with Constable Roughley.

Bathie identified the articles of food found in defendant’s possession as the property of the hospital. Their value was approximately 3/-.

Anderson said he lived in Bathurst Street, Sydney, and that he came to Liverpool to draw his war pension. He collected it, met a few friends and had a few drinks. About ten o’clock he saw a man in a sulky driving along Macquarie street – the main street. The stranger said, “Are you on the track, digger?” and he replied, “Yes.” The other man said, “Well, here’s something that might be handy to you,” handed him a sugar bag and drove on. ”I didn’t have a look at what it was,” said Anderson. “I took it for granted it was food.”

The magistrate: How were you dressed? – Like I am now. And where were you walking? – On the footpath. You had nothing in your hand? – Nothing. ” I owed a few small debts at the hospital,” said Anderson, “and I walked over there. I left my bag while I went to look for those from whom I had borrowed money when I was an inmate.”

The magistrate said that he could see no reason why defendant should have been mistaken for a swagman. “I have no doubt whatever about this,” he said in convicting.

Liverpool General Duties Police were incensed by claims of the NSW Minister for Police, Mr Peter Anderson MP, that there were too many police (at Liverpool).

According to the Liverpool Branch Secretary of the NSW Police Association, Senior Constable Allan. F. Godfrey, of the 108 General Duties police listed at Liverpool, 28 are not involved in day to day law enforcement.

S/C Godfrey said that of the 28:-
* Three police were on permanent sick report awaiting discharge from the Force.
* One Officer was shot in the execution of his duty over 12 months ago.
* One Officer was under suspension.
* Six were involved in prisoner security at the Liverpool District Courts.
* Two were attending Penrith Court for the Milperra bikie court hearings.
* Two were guarding Family Law Court Judges on the North Shore.(following bombings)
* Five were involved in Warrants and Summonses.
* One was assigned to the Criminal Information Unit.
* Five were on restricted duties.
The remaining 80 Police attend court cases, prisoner escorts, internal affair and ombudsman’s enquiries and training courses. With such exclusions there are only about 40 police left to perform day to day duties in Liverpool and Green Valley.

These police are rostered over three shifts, seven days a week. In reality of the 108 General Duties police named on the roster, there were only three cars crews and four station staff per shift at Liverpool. Green Valley has only one Officer in the Station and one car crew per morning and afternoon shift. Green Valley was closed between 11pm and 7am each day.
Over night the sub-station area was patrolled by Liverpool, and the Green Valley vehicles are housed at Liverpool Police Station.

Roger Dyer

Farewell to a very dear friend.
Formerly a very able police officer (Traffic Sgt.) after leaving the service Mal enjoyed a completely different life as a market gardener/horticulturist.
He had a wonderful sense of humour, and possessed a great fondness for the humour and drama he found in Australian poetry ( at the drop of a hat he would happily recite large ‘çhunks’ of Banjo Patterson, etc without once referring to a book).
Multi-talented, he played the ukulele and could turn his hand to most other things.
Always kind and generous with his tíme he was indeed a lovely man and like many others I know, I cherished his friendship.

 


 

Condolences to Jude, siblings Merelyn, Janette, Susan together with family and friends.
