A long, early Australian tale recounts the exploits of Hobart era bushrangers led by Donohoe, Underwood, Walmeley, Webber, and Webber. They terrorized settlers near Bringelly Windsor and Liverpool, robbing travellers, looting shops, and evading police as they formed a dangerous “Formidable band.”
The article details a gang led by Donahoo and Webber planning a theft at Windsor with armed carters and a cart full of goods. They move to procure disguises, assemble weapons, and flee to Sydney via Windsor, while police track their route and attempt arrests.
The matter concerns Patrick McMahon’s home selection attempt in Murwillumbah. The case, before Justices Owen and Medita, involved August 1900 deposits and ballot conduct, with McMahon appealing to the Land Appeal Court after the board refunded deposits and survey fees following a disputed ballot.
The Land Appeal Court held that the 24 December 1900 revocation notification did not override prior reservation notices under the Crown Lands Acts. It ruled that temporary reservations validly revoked the later notices and that Joseph Taylor's application for conditional purchase and related lease was available, with the appeal allowed and costs awarded.
Florence Burk of Walp, Pouiland Puraday and others allege Vitadatio cured their gall stones and liver congestion after medical failures. The testimonial cites years 1863 and 1892 with long illness, credits a Dunedin note, and invites further correspondence for testimonials and pricing.
