List includes St Paul’s and many Sts with varying damage, noting eight are unlikely to be rebuilt.

Verdict Favors Isaac Roberts for 500 Pounds in Sheep Sale Case
In Dubbo Circuit Court Justice Davidson presided as Isaac Roberts, a Dubbo grazer, won 500 pounds after a brief retirement of under 30 minutes. He claimed breach of contract by John Frederick Perfrement of Tamworth for failing to take delivery of 3,700 sheep bought on October 12, 1941, with delivery due November 19. Roberts alleged agistment costs and additional expenses while awaiting a second sale. Witness Tavac Roberts testified the contract included delivery of 3,700 sheep, but Perfrement did not appear in court. He carried the sheep on his property and charged agistment from November 19 at roughly 40 pounds per 1,000 head, plus 6 pounds in travel expenses to Condobolin. The original contract was for 10 shillings 6 pence per head, later sold to another buyer at about 8 shillings per head, a lower price than expected. Robert Sylvester Brown corroborated, noting current prices.
