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.

John Wall alias Johnstone per ship Waterloo, assigned to Mr. Cox, exchanged with Mr. Buchanan for the services of Joseph Merritt. Charged with harbouring Col. Dumaresq s servants and having spirits in his possession....John Bartlett states - I heard four of my masters servants were at Mr. Buchanan s and I went in search of them and found them there drunk. But the prisoner was not drunk though he was lazing alongside of one of them - at this time the prisoner was in charge of Mr. Buchanan s property and a free man William Mossey was in the hut at the time he was laying on a stretcher which behind the door but I could not say he was drunk. This was about eleven o clock in the morning last Wednesday week. And one of the party did not return home until after sundown and they appeared to have been fighting. Wall states that the men came to Mr. Buchanan s place on Tuesday night drunk and insisted upon his letting them into the hut - as they wanted to see Mossey. I told them Mossey was not in - but they said they would break open the door if I did not let them in - I opened the door and they came in with a quart pot in which they said they had some rum - when they told me they had spirits, I put them outside and shut the door - but they kept hammering at it until I was obliged to get up and let them in - I was alone and no men to protect the place or I should have gone and acquainted the farm constable - they told me Mossey had given them the spirits and there was no spirits drunk in the hut. I call upon William Mossey to prove the correctness of my statement....William Mossey being called states - I met three of Col. Dumaresq s servants on the road. I gave one of them, Kenny, a bottle rum which they drank in my presence. Kenny then asked me for another and said he would return it in kind. I gave it to him. I lent them a quart pot and I know nothing more and I went to Mr. Buchanan s next day about 12 o clock, but I saw no men there. He denies having been at Mr. Buchanan s previously drinking with Col. Dumaresq s servants. Peter McVeay states - I am overseer to Mr. Buchanan and on Wednesday week last when I returned home I went into the hut with John Bartlett but did not see William Mossey in the hut....One of my men was there and four of Col. Dumaresq s laying in the hut together with Wall and Henry Shoulder who was laying behind the door and Barret was laying outside, and I did not see Mossey until next day about 12 o clock when I engaged him to go along with Wall to Goulburn River to collect cattle. The case remanded till next court day and William Mossey charged with illicitly selling spirits admitted on his own recognizance to appear whenever required
