An unusual incident occurred at the Regent Theatre, Cobar, recently, when a lady resident, who was enjoying the pictures, was hit with an egg. She had some knitting which she was doing, when, to her great surprise, she felt a sudden blow on the chest. On investigation she found she had been hit with an egg. Luckily, the yoke did not break, or her beautiful frock and knitting would have been ruined.
The matter was reported to the police, and Constable Megaw questioned a number of boys at the pictures, without finding who threw the egg.
The police were later informed that two eggs were purchased at a nearby shop while the pictures were in process, and as a result, they expect to be able to take appropriate action against the egg thrower.

GEORGE’S RIVER. – Lease No. 10107; Charles David Hilaire; parish of Sutherland, County of Cumberland; about 10 acres. Quibray Bay, lying outside oyster lease No. 7345. 10 years. (1h-179)
Charles David Hilaire, of Willington Street, Arncliffe, was committed for trial in the Coroner’s Court yesterday on a charge of having feloniously slain Stanley Kevin Hawkins at Brighton-le-Sands on June 21. Hilaire was the driver of a car which collided with Hawkins’s bicycle.
The City Coroner, Mr. Oram, fixed Hilaire’s bail at £90.
Three occupants of a car stated in the Coroner’s Court on Monday that they had driven on after the car had hit a youth on a bicycle in General Holmes Road, Brighton-le-Sands, on June 21.
The City Coroner, Mr. Oram, found that the youth, Stanley Kevin Mawkins, formerly of Fleet Street, Carlton, had died as a result of injuries received in the collision and that the car driver, Charles David Hilaire, of Willington Street, Arncliffe, had feloniously slain Hawkins.
The Coroner committed Hilaire for trial, and allowed bail in £80. ”
Evidence has shown that the bicycle was dragged fully 60 yards from where the body lay on the roadway, ” Mr. Oram said: ” The fact that Hilaire did not stop is consistent with him having a number of drinks before the accident. ” Hilaire, in a statement, said that just after the accident one of the passengers had told him to go back. He went to turn back, but said: ” No, we will go on. I don’t think it, is serious. ”
He seemed to lose his nerve and was afraid to return to the scene of the accident.
Frank Joseph Butler, and Richard Leslie Bell, friends of Hilaire‘s, both said in evidence that they had had about seven drinks each before the accident.
They and Hilaire were sober when the accident occurred. Hilaire had appeared dazed after the accident. The three men had reported to the police the following morning.
( Hilaire reported to Kogarah Police Station and the matter was Investigated by Detective Sergeant George MILES of Hurstville )
” It seems a shocking thing that three young men should drive away, after a car had collided with a cyclist, without inquiring as to the condition of the victim of the collision. In this case the boy’s body was found 60 yards away from his bicycle. ”
The City Coroner ( Mr. E. T. Oram ) made this remark after inquiring into the death of Stanley Kevin Hawkins, 18, a G.P.O., mechanic, of Fleet street, Grafton, who was killed in General Holmes Drive, Brighton, on June 21.
Charles David Hilaire, laborer, of Willington Street, Arncliffe, was committed for trial by the Coroner on a charge of manslaughter.
James Morris Dew, 17, apprentice, of President Avenue, Kogarah, said in company with Hawkins he was riding his bicycle along General Holmes Drive on June 21 when something hit him on the shoulder. ” I looked up and saw a car going round a bend travelling very fast. I saw Hawkins’ bike come out from under it but the car did not stop, ” said Dew. ” I went over and saw Stan lying on his back. I called him by name, but he did not reply. ”
In an alleged statement to the police, Hilaire said that he was driving along the road with two friends, Dick Bell and Frank Butler, when he noticed the cyclists immediately in front of him as he rounded a bend.
One rider was on the right side of the roadway and the other on the left. He couldn’t go around them, but he could see there was room to go between.
Lost His Nerve
Just after the accident, one of the passengers said, ” Go back, ” the alleged statement went on. ” I went to turn the car at Bestic Street to go back and then I said, ” No, we’ll go on, I don’t think it is serious. ”
” I can’t explain my feelings after the accident happened; I seemed to lose my nerve and was afraid to return to the scene of the accident, ” the alleged statement proceeded. ” I had hardly any sleep that night. I was too worried. The next morning I did not get a paper, but Frank Butler and Dick Bell came to my place and one of them told me that the chap I had hit was killed. ”
Richard Leslie Bell, laborer, Maunder Street, Regent’s Park, and Francis Joseph Butler, laborer, Clarence Street, Bankstown, passengers in the car, stated that they called upon…….. He seemed to be slumped over the Wheel in a daze.
Constable Douglas Lechlightner, of the Safety Bureau, said that when he inspected the scene of the accident he found the dead lad lying about 60 yards from his bicycle and approximately midway between two electric light poles.
Charles David Hilaire, 47, labourer, was acquitted at the Quarter Sessions ( Darlinghurst – Court 2 ) of a charge of the manslaughter of Stanley Kevin Hawkins, l8, who was riding a bicycle at Brighton-le Sands on June 21, 1941, when a car driven by Hilaire collided with it.

From Alan Flavel 7 March 2020:
My eldest brother was driving, they were returning to Sydney for Robert to start back at the Academy on the Monday.
Our Grandmother was in hospital in Cowra, and Robert wanted to see her on the way back to Sydney, which they did. As they were coming into Blayney on the return to Sydney, a car lost control on a bend and was sideways down the road, this was about 1410 and a School Bus was letting children off on the side of the road…they had the choice to swerve and hit the bus full of kids…or take the impact of the out of control car head-on…. which is what they say Robert demanded, Robert assisted post-accident in helping both vehicles before collapsing on the roadway and never regaining consciousness…. Robert was pronounced dead in Orange Base Hospital approx. 0130 on Monday 24th September.
