OBITUARY

It will be learnt with regret that Mr. Charles Thomas Lawes, son of Mr. Thomas Lawes, of Kalkee, died on Friday night at the early age of 29 years. Some 12 months ago, whilst lifting an unduly heavy weight, he severely strained and injured himself internally. He never recovered from the effects of the accident the effect of which upon the system was, no doubt, to make it singularly open to the attack of influenza and bronchitis by which his death was immediately caused. The interment took plate at the Horsham cemetery on Sunday and, notwithstanding the extreme heat of the day, was largely attended. The service at the grave was conducted by the Rev. H. Yeo, Bible Christian minister, and the funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. G. Walters. Mr. Lawes has left behind a wife and three young children. For these and for the deceased's other relatives, who are known and highly respected throughout the district, the greatest sympathy is felt. ^[7]

Marriage. In 1897, Fanny married Edwin Mackley, in Victoria. ^[8][9]

Fanny and Edwin added five children to their family:^[10]

• Olive May Mackley (1897-1971)
• Edith Pearl Mackley (1899-1953)
• Edwin Charles Mackley (1901-1974)
• Fanny Eliza Mackley (1904-1983)
• Sylvia Ethel Mackley (1908- )

ALLEGED CATTLE STEALING

At the Horsham Police Court on Friday last, before Mr. T. E. HARRISON, P.M., Henry Bramfield, the well-known cattle dealer, was charged with having on May 20, at Dooen, feloniously stolen, driven, and taken away a red and white cow, of the value of £4, the property of Fanny Mackley, who keeps a dairy near Horsham. Fanny Mackley deposed that about two years and one month ago she bought a cow and calf from Samuel Bleakley, a dealer. The calf grew up and had a calf, but being too young she dried it off in two months on September 15. She saw the cow last on the opening day of the duck shooting. Arthur Fry, butcher, Dooen, deposed that he bought the cow from Bramfield for £2/12/6 on May 21. He had seen the cow running on the road and line at Dooen since the first week in March. On the same day as he bought the cow he saw Mackley's son-in-law driving the cow away, so he stopped him. Next day young Mackley claimed the cow. Bramfield who had been telephoned for, also appeared at his place, and he and Mackley had a conversation, both claiming the cow. Mackley then left, and on Bramfield's suggestion handed back the cow and receipt. David Anderson deposed that he saw the cow running at Dooen in December or the beginning of January. Percy D'Aymand, porter at Dooen station, deposed that he had seen the cow at Dooen since the first of January. Accused son deposed that his father had the cow since last show time, and James Wilson, skin buyer, said he saw the cow in charge of young Bramfield last October. Donald McRae, of Tooan, deposed that he had 50 years experience with cattle. In his opinion the cow outside the court had not had a calf. It's teats were like calf's. The accused's case is that he bought the cow with a mob of others at Nhill, and when trucking them away at Dooen the cow and a bull were left behind. Under cross examination, Mackley, husband of Mrs. Mackley, said Bramfield, when he found there was likely to be trouble, offered to give the cow back. He (witness) told accused he did not want to prosecute, but the matter was in the hands of the police. Accused was committed for trial at Nhill General Sessions on July 23, bail being allowed in two sureties of £50 each and himself in £100. ^[11][12][13]
