A defunct schoolteacher Patrick William Apsey died at 60 leaving a large will. At his exhumation in Rookwood cemetery a will was recovered from his pyjamas along with money and spectacles. The solicitor secured the document and it can be executed.
A bulletin from a committee of the National Association against prohibition argues that prohibition failed to curb bootlegging and crime, led to poison liquor deaths and youth debauchery, caused tax losses and enforcement costs, and invaded citizens' rights and privacy as Federal agents tightened control.
The report mentions six National organizers dispatched to polling stations in Murray and Goulburn electorates where polling was postponed due to floods. Returning officers warn votes cast outside these electorates will be rejected. A second fragment references influenza fears and a fictional line about Demons of the Air. A local magistrate, Mr Wickham, fines a man £1 for improper conduct in court, lamenting the disruption of money for drink.
