First ploughing match in this district in 1854
Letter to the editor recalls the 1854 ploughing match on Alexander Cruickshank’s farm north of Durley near Crapieburn and Flodden. It notes bullock teams, lengthy delays, and the Morven area on Lauridock with landowners such as John M’Kenzie and Hector Allan M’Leod. It mentions later matches at Fiskin’s paddock Broadlands Pilmer’s land and a young Bob Watson winning junior class. The writer seeks local memories and references Peter Hobertson’s death and Mr. Wm Grant of Warragul as former Agricultural Society secretary.

Riparian Rights Dispute Over Dam Impeding River Flow
The Full Court hears Alice Nagle v Albert Miller over a dam and weir on the Lerderderg River. While Judge Hamilton set nominal damages, the core issue concerns whether a riverside owner may obtain damages and an injunction to prevent ongoing obstructions to river flow caused by construction across the stream. The case centers on legal rights rather than amount.
