On Wednesday last, the magistrates, sitting in the court house had a case under consideration which unfortunately, owing to their not being able to agree had to be dismissed. The question at issue was one of considerable consequence to the mining body generally, many of whom were present at the hearing, being a dispute between one Matthew McLaren and James and Alexander Brown, proprietors of the New Lambton coal pits - the latter with being charged with discharging the former from their hired service without due and proper notice.

About midway down the hill on the eastern side of the churchyard, there is a time worn tomb covering a vault in which lie several members of an old Newcastle family. The stone is fretting away, and the inscriptions have partly disappeared but sufficient remains to indicate the ownership. In many respects the tomb is a quaint one. On either corner there are representations of cherubims while at the foot a skull and crossbones have been carved. The inscription as far as can be traced reads - Gloria in Escelsis Deo. Here lie the remains of John Thomas, 1838. Michael Thomas, son of John Thomas died Nov. 27 1839. John Thomas jnr., July 17 aged 22. John Thomas arrived in the colony about the year 1820 and some years after his arrival entered on farming pursuits and acquired a grazing and farming property on the swamps near Wallsend afterwards known as Glendor Farm. This property or the greater part was purchased from Dr. Scott. In the year 1829 John Thomas purchased from an old Scotch resident the right to two allotments at the junction of Hunter and Newcomen streets for the sum of 10 pounds. The fine row of buildings comprising eight shops extending to the corner of Newcomen street were erected thereon by the lat Mr. Henry Buchanan. In the early days the Crown authorities at Sydney issued to old soldiers, ticket of leave men and others permits or rights to acquire a grant to town allotments and John Thomas acquired the rights held by the old Scotch resident, but never applied for the issue of the grants. He erected a small building fronting Hunter Street, and resided there in for some time prior to leaving for the farm at The Swamps. A number of non descript shops were afterwards erected on these allotments by different tenants the shops being destroyed by fire during the eighties.
