  • 12 Jun 1908: Mrs. Elsie A. Baker (Upper Hawthorn) writes:—
    Please allow me to endorse the remarks made, by "A Mother" in Wednesday's "Herald.'' I also read with intense indignation of the treatment meted out to an unfortunate lad by his father.
    Still more did my indignation rise at the trivial punishment awarded to this man by the authorities who investigated the case.
    Surely, sir, this case will be further investigated.16
  • 23 Oct 1915: CHILDREN AND PICTURE THEATRES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS.
    Sir,—I was glad to observe by this morning's paper that the question of demoralising picture shows is receiving attention at last. I am not the least bit inclined to prudery—I believe that children should not be kept altogether in glass cases, but I am shocked beyond expression at the pictures which are now shown with quite disturbing regularity at pretty well every picture theatre in Melbourne. Some time ago in a certain suburb, which I should like to name, but had better not, a picture theatre was opened. This particular theatre made a point of providing matinees every Saturday afternoon for children. I, in common with many of my friends, were only too glad to send our children there during the winter, when outdoor sports were impossible. At first everything was perfectly correct. But gradually a change crept in. The pictures were just a trifle venturesome occasionally. This has increased steadily, till now all self-respecting mothers keep their daughters away. At first interesting films representing foreign countries were shown, the humour was humorous, and it was quite clean. The cowboy films, though blood thirsty, were quite wholesome, the topical subjects entirely interesting. But now there is very little foreign country shown, the humour is the lowest comedy, the cowboy has given place to the rascal who loves everyone else's wife but his own, and the pictures of the women, who deserve to be whipped for misbehaviour, instead of being pitied by young, impressionable schoolgirls, are enough to make the healthiest person sick. This is having a disastrous effect on our young people. It is encouraging feelings that should not be experienced till quite mature years. It is forcing knowledge on young minds that should be protected scrupulously from such nastiness.—Yours, &c.,
    ELSIE A. BAKER.

  • 25 Mar 1886: THE DOURO CASE. PROSECUTION OF CAPTAIN SORENSEN.
    (By TELEGRAPH FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) BRISBANE, WEDNESDAY.
    At the police court to-day, Captain Sorensen, of the Douro, was charged on remand with violently assaulting Charles Leslie on the high seas. Among the witnesses called was Thos Godfrey Leslie, who deposed that Sorensen was in his employ as master of the Douro , that he (witness) was a British subject, and the sole owner of the Douro. Counsel for the prisoner objected that the ship's papers before the Court showed that she was Portuguese, and that the ownership of a British vessel must be proved by the production of a certificate of registry. The witness further gave evidence concerning the registry of the Douro under the Portuguese flag, and the manner in which this was done. At the conclusion of Leslie's evidence a further charge against Sorensen of feloniously assaulting and robbing certain natives of Carpenter Island was proceeded with. The question of jurisdiction, which depends on whether the vessel is British or foreign, was again raised by the prisoner's counsel. Evidence in support of the charge was taken at considerable length, the principal witness being Charles Leslie, the cook of the Douro. Eventually the prisoner was remanded on both charges until to-morrow.11
  • 31 Oct 1906: Beaconsfield Upper. Quite a gloom was cast over the district on Wednesday morning when, it became known that the dead body of one of the old identities of the district, Mr J Wade was found on the Gembrook road, about half a mile from the post office. For many years he had worked fossicking in the various gullies, but old age had compelled him to give it up, and for some time back he had acted as caretaker for Mr Leslie. (See Thomas Godfrey Leslie) He had gone for a walk on Tuesday afternoon with a friend, and after parting, was returning when death over took him. A magisterial enquiry was held at the Pine Grove Hotel on Friday morning before Mr. Wilson, J.P., when Drs Muir and Bennie, who had held a post mortum examination on the previous day, certified what the cause of death was Brights disease of the kidneys and heart failure. John Wade12
  • 7 Apr 1909: Berwick Shire Council. Cr. Martin moved that tenders be called for fencing in side cuttings from Leslie's gate to the far corner of McLean's orchard, Upper Beaconsfield. Recently two accidents had occurred through horses becoming frightened at motor cars coming silently around curves, and it was to prevent this that he moved in the matter. Agreed to. William McLean13
